#100DaysofProductivity — Day 29

i’ve been struggling really bad with keeping a proper schedule because summer for me is when all goes off the rails (it’s too hot to go anywhere so i don’t go out much but bc i don’t go out my mind spirals and i can’t concentrate) and not even my therapist could give me advice abt it which sucks. nonetheless we persevere. i’ve got a paper due at the end of august and another one for september so let’s go

#100DaysofProductivity — Day 28

so i can’t believe i am able to say this but i took a break from my phd crisis to go see bts live TWICE !!!!!!! and now im back on crisis mode but at least i can say i’ve been in the same room as my fav seven. tomorrow i have a meeting with my supervisor to check how im doing and later in the day we’re also meeting for dinner with the rest of our colleagues. summer is in full bloom, which i hate, but im busier than ever and that makes me happy

#100DaysofProductivity — Day 26

“one must imagine sisyphus happy” has been my motto these past few days for some reason. i’m on my way! i can do it! (i might have to start working at night since life keeps interrupting my work)

[why-the-heck-not]

why arrive to places calm & collected after doing everything steadily over the week when you might as well get there frantic & sweaty bc you’ve been running all over the place with a minute time schedule the last 2 hours trying to get everything done that you procrastinated all week

#100DaysofProductivity — Day 24

i keep forgetting to take pictures to post and then forgetting to post at all, so here’s some shots of the book i’m working on rn (human acts by han kang, my fave). it hurts to read but it’s so, so so enlightening i keep wanting to go back to it

yesterday i presented my paper at a university conference and it almost sparked a fight between the panel moderator and an audience member so that was interesting !

i’m also in the process of applying to go back to seoul next year. manifesting !!!!

"Writing digital notes is faster and makes you more productive", sure whatever, but can you make medievalesque marginalia to point at important stuff?

#100DaysofProductivity — Day 23

so i’ve just been diagnosed with adhd at my 25 years of age, which explains A LOT. this week has been a joke re: my thesis and i now understand why this keeps happening to me even though i try my hardest to keep a consistent routine

also idk if this is common but i just looked back at the 19 pages i’ve written so far and all i could think was ??? when did i do that, what kind of spirit possessed me ??? like girl-

#100DaysofProductivity — Day 22

#100DaysofProductivity — Day 21

rewriting my entire paper because who doesn’t enjoy revisiting the exact same analysis 3 times

[monimoonie]

#100DaysofProductivity — Day 20

stuck in the middle with (my paper)

i got a positive review of my abstract for this paper but i fear i might have been too much of an overachiever and now i can’t manage to fit what i want to say into a 10 min presentation. but that leaves me wondering—who can properly defend anything in just 10 minutes when there’s an entire thesis behind the reasoning ? anyways

#100DaysofProductivity — Day 19

tw/cw anxiety

writing an article for a conference in early june. had an existential crisis which almost triggered an anxiety attack last night because i just can’t place myself amidst all of this. i keep wondering if this is normal, whether i’m doing a good job or not, whether my research is going well or i’m just delusional. i’ve started journaling my doubts and processes which will hopefully help me find ground again, but this phd life … gawd help me. anyway i got a new mug check it out ! so cute

#100DaysofProductivity — Day 18

i can’t say i’ve been very productive today because i spent most of my afternoon / evening watching over students taking an exam. but i sent some important emails and i went to pilates this morning. i’m taking wins where i can get them because life is hard :)

#100DaysofProductivity — Day 16
