guide to the perfect day

i always see ’ guides to the perfect morning ‘ or ‘ guides to the perfect night ‘ but never one where it encompasses the whole day and thus i decided to make one !!

note :

i use the term ‘perfect’ very loosely and what you find a perfect day may not be the same as me but i hope you enjoy this post nonetheless : )

also, this is more for the weekends and holidays as i didn’t include a school time period hehe

MORNING :

wake up by 0730 am

our bodies are programmed to rise with the sun and thus this is an ideal waking up time

besides, waking up earlier means that you have more time in the day to do the things that you want

try not to linger too much and just turn off your alarm and jump straight out of your bed

do try to make your bed as as the saying goes : messy bed, messy head

get ready between 0730 am to 0845 am

try to have a morning routine as having a routine at the start of the day will help set the tone for the rest of your day

if you want an extra jolt of energy, try showering with cooler water

also try to go out for a run or walk ( just try to be active right in the morning )

have your breakfast between 0845 am to 0930 am

don’t skip breakfast !! it is the most important meal of the day and it gives you the boost of energy that you need to jump-start your day

try to opt for healthier and more nutritious options such as oats or cereal

work between 0930 am to 1230 pm

get into the habit of doing productive things in the morning this is as our bodies are at it’s peak performance and concentration

during this time, i like to do the heavier tasks such as writing essays

it is important to take short but frequent breaks !! ( try the pomodoro method )

AFTERNOON :

lunch break 1230 pm to 0200 pm

try consuming healthier food as it has been proven that our bodies are naturally inclined to be tired after lunch time thus try to avoid sweet or starchy food as they would make you even more lethargic

take this time to relax, maybe call up a friend to have lunch and do some catching up

start your day over 0200 pm to 0215 pm

as inspired by this post, re-evaluate your day at 2 pm

use this time to go through what you need to accomplish, what have you done and what you need to do

do your digital work 0215 pm - 0415 pm

as previously established, our bodies tend to be more sluggish after lunch, so i like to schedule my less taxing tasks here

take this time to go through your emails and start with your digital work ( i.e writing blog posts / coding / designing with photoshop etc )

i use cold turkey so that i can be the most productive and wouldn’t waste this time on instagram or tumblr

nap 0415 pm - 0445 pm

a nap in the middle of the day has been shown to be beneficial to our bodies

however, the length of it is very important. keep it to 20 - 30 mins as this will allow for energy boost while preventing the feeling of grogginess when you wake up

finish up any incomplete tasks 0445 pm - 0700 pm

it is nearing the end of the day so it’s time to wrap up any unfinished tasks

NIGHT :

dinner time 0700 pm to 0815 pm

try to eat a smaller portion of food as it’s the end of the day, your metabolism rate will slow down and you wouldn’t want to go to bed feeling bloated right?

freshen up 0815 pm - 0900 pm

after a long day of work, it is important to wash up and freshen up

if there’s time, do take the time to pamper yourself a little ( maybe do a hair mask or face mask or both!! )

rest and relax 0900 pm - 1000 pm

take this time to completely relax

watch your favourite shows or youtubers

no digital devices hour 0900 pm - 1000 pm

it has been shown that the blue light emitted from our screens can prevent the production of melatonin, which is a hormone that is responsible for making us feel sleepy

thus an hour before bed time, try avoiding any digital devices

instead, spend the time planning your outfits for the next day, packing your bag, meal prep or even just reading a book

lights out 1100 pm

to ensure that you have an adequate amount of sleep, try to go to sleep lastest by 11pm

you can use a sleep tracker to tracker your sleep

personally, i use the sleep cycle app which not only tracks my sleep but also has an alarm that wakes me up when i’m in my lightest phase of sleep

TADAH! that’s a perfect from day to night schedule that i would ideally follow

here’s a mini summary of how much time is spent doing what :

sleep : 8.5 hrs

doing work : 7 hrs 15 mins ( 2 hrs of digital work + 5 hrs 15 mins of work )

resting : 1.5 hrs

get ready / freshening up : 2 hrs ( 1 hr 15 mins in the morning + 45 mins at night )

eating : 3.5 hrs ( 45 mins breakfast + 1.5 hr lunch + 1 hr 15 mins dinner )

other : 1 hr 15 mins ( 1 hr no digital time + 15 mins re-evaluating your day )

wooh ! i hope you enjoyed reading this post hehe

My mother is a die-hard conservative Republican. When I told her I had registered to vote, she rolled her eyes at me. When I asked why, she told me that “the worst thing for America is young, stupid liberals voting.” Liberals in the U.S. outnumber conservatives. The only reason Republicans win is because more of them vote. If you want us to win this upcoming election, get to the polls and vote, especially if you’re voting for Bernie Sanders in the primaries. Hillary has a lot more money and name recognition than Bernie does, so the primaries will be very important. Even if Bernie doesn’t win the primaries, Hillary being president will be a lot better than Donald Trump or Jeb Bush running this country further into the ground. Abstaining from voting in the general election because you don’t like Hillary will give the Republicans a victory on a silver platter and that is the worst thing that could happen right now.

public transport productivity 🚎

at some point, the vast majority of us will use public transport. It takes time to go from A to B, and that time can be used more productively than scrolling social media endlessly, believe it or not! Try these:

• revise notes • work on assignments • map out weekly timetable • read emails / announcements • review deadlines + make sure you’re tracking okay • research anything you’re struggling with • find out about new / uncommon study techniques • write a to-do list • arrange a study date with friend(s) • order any existing to-do lists in terms of priority • listen to motivational music / speeches • make a list of readings to do / books to pick up • write out everything that you’re working so hard for • meditate / work on mindfulness • plan a physical activity for the near future • think about healthy foods you can grab / make • reflect on all of your achievements to date: you’re doing so well! • make a list like this to share with study buddies • organise folders / backpack • research a new study space (eg library / cafe / park you haven’t visited yet) • think about / research all the ways that you can improve your study space at home (eg organisation, lighting, minimising distractions, plants & candles?) • close your eyes and spend a few minutes thinking of things / people to be grateful for • break down the mountain you’re trying to pass in your head: can you turn it back into a molehill / smaller tasks to conquer ? • think about your finances: can you increase your savings and still get by? How much can you spend this week on self care / treats? • what NEEDS to be done FIRST as soon as you arrive where you’re going? (eg homework, submissions, messages, chores) • is there anyone you need / want to check in on? • is anything that you can change stressing you out / upsetting you? Is it costing you more than it’s worth? • look up a funny comedian / find a picture that makes you giggle. It’s good to detox with laughter! • are you eating 3 serves of fruit and 5 serves of veg per day? Can you change this if not? • are there any clothes that you NEED to get? are there any clothes / items that you can donate?

A brief informative guide to highlighting your notes/book the right way so it doesn’t look like your book/notes exploded into a rainbow.

studyquirk

Put together another fun little info post about lecture notetaking! (See my first post on lecture notetaking here.)This time I though I’d sketch it out by hand and scan it into my computer instead of typing it out. Hope it helps!

What to do when you don't know what to do

· Get out of bed. Do that now.

· Go into the bathroom and remove all of your clothing. I have fat that gathers into massive love handles, stretch marks on every bit of skin that isn’t flat. But when my clothes are all off, with no fabric to bother me, no illusion of what my body looks like and all I can see is myself, I feel better. I feel more wholesome. Maybe you will, too.

· Run your hands over it, turn around. Have no illusion of what your body looks like. It’s not as bad as you think. Get a good picture in your mind of anything you want to attend to. Make a list if you need to, only about your body.

· Brush your hair through, if you have it.

· Put your hair up and out of the way, if it’s long.

· Floss and brush your teeth very well. Take your time on this. Do it twice if you need to. Your breath won’t feel as thick, you won’t feel as heavy.

· Put on lots of chapstick or balm right afterwards

· Wash any parts of your body that you need to.

· Blow your nose until there’s nothing left, get it all out. You’re probably clogged up.

· Clip your nails, take off any old polish. Push your cuticles back.

· Wash your hair, if you want to.

· If you (like to)shave, shave everything. You’ll feel weightless. Only fill up the bath a little bit and do it over the edge. You’ll just feel dirty if you sit in hair.

· Drink a full glass of water. Don’t sip, don’t chug. Just don’t set it down until it’s gone.

· Dress yourself in whatever way you feel ready for the day. Yoga pants, sweatpants, t-shirts, dresses, shorts. Whatever way that makes things easier.

· Eat. Eat something. Don’t pull random bits of food from random boxes. Prepare it at once and sit down. Take this time to rest.

· Get a drink of your choice, as long as it isn’t alcohol. As a matter of fact, if there’s alcohol on the counter, put it away. Don’t look at it. It will only give you a headache. Make yourself chocolate milk, water, a smoothie, a soda, whatever sounds nice.

· Sit on the floor and forget about everything you need to think about. Set a timer for exactly one minute. Close your eyes, and during that one minute, pay attention to how your body feels. Ask yourself these questions. Am I sore anywhere? Stretch this bit out, put more pressure on it. Focus on your muscles. Keep your back completely straight. Did I eat enough? Think about your stomach. Focus on your breathing. Listen to the air. Can you hear the sound of your lights? A ceiling fan? Your joints? Don’t open your eyes until the time is up. This minute will pass very quickly.

· Get a good old fashioned piece of notebook paper and a pencil. If you don’t have that use your phone or computer. Make a list of every little thing you need to do. Everything matters. Every errand, homework assignment, thing that needs cleaned, health issue… all of it.

· Do it now. Check things off as you go. As you see things disappear, your head will be more clear.

· Don’t forget to take your pills.

· If you’ve been putting off your homework, fix yourself a snack and a tall drink of something warm. Get all of the supplies you need. Sit down and plow through it. If you need help with homework, message a friend, a family member, even message me. I’ll try and help you. It won’t take as long as you think, your mind is just cluttered. Repeat to yourself “this is what I am working on now. This is what is important now. I will feel lighter when I am finished.” Even if the assignment is due in a few weeks, more than likely it is too much to do in one night. Split it up into quarters. Work for one hour, and if you’re close, finish it off. Give yourself this one hour.

· You don’t have to make your bed, but take off the blankets and shake them out. If there’s crumbs on the mattress, vacuum, or wipe them off. If you have dirty clothes, put them in the hamper.

· Now that your day is free, deal with your social problems. Is there someone you’ve been meaning to apologize to? Something you’ve upset? Something you’re unsure of? You have all of the rest of the day to deal with it. Take your time.

· Before bed, pay special attention to your face. Wash it, clean your ears, put on acne medicine, moisturize it. Anything on your face that needs to be attended to. See how beautiful you are? Your skin will drink it up, it will look better tomorrow. Do this constantly.

· Listen to songs you haven’t in a while. You forgot that one verse, the reason why you kept it.

· Make a list of questions. How does a remote work? Why do we have toenails? What is this word? Look them up. They’re right there to know.

· Ask for help

· It’s fine to cry. I feel warm in the face afterwards. I feel smaller afterwards, less huge. Less of a problem. You need to understand that we want to matter, but when we mess up we don’t want it to matter. It goes both ways. You are the most important person. Your mistakes only have weight to you. Nobody minds as much as you think they do.

· Do these things. Do them now.

things i wish i’d known in my first year of university

I’m reaching the end of my time at university and it’s got me all sentimental. and regretful. There are a number of things that I had learned during my time at university that I wish I’d known during first year.

Read everything. The only valid excuse for not reading everything on the reading list is that you didn’t have time, not that you found it boring, or that it wasn’t useful. Because there’s nothing scarier than trying to write an essay on something you studied a month ago, and you have no notes on the topic.

Revise constantly. I wish I’d revisited everything I did a week after I did it, just as a recap. I tended to focus on what I was doing in the moment because it felt the most important thing at the time. Well, during exams, everything is equal. And it’s so frustrating not quite being able to remember something. So, revise. Even just for ten minutes.

Don’t spend all of your money on impulse. I’ve bought so much rubbish that I really don’t need. And if I’d saved that money, I could have gone on holiday. Save every last penny you can.

Eat well. I just said that you should save all the money you can, but I think that food is one exception to that rule. Try and save money where you can, obviously, but don’t go for days and days without fresh vegetables because you’re saving money for a holiday. Your mind, as well as your body, needs food.

Go and talk to professors in their student hours. I used to find this so awkward. To be honest, I still do. But if you’re going sending them an email and asking for clarification on a topic, consider maybe popping into their office when it’s open to students. And tell them if you’re struggling! If you don’t let them know, then they can’t help you.

Take hot drinks with you, to your lectures or to the library. Don’t spend all your money in the library cafe. Bring a flask of tea, and loads of study snacks in a packed lunch box. Trust me on this.

Make time to meet up with friends you haven’t seen in ages. Don’t wait for them to ask you. I make sure to socialise with my friends at least twice a week. And by socialise, I don’t mean getting blind drunk and going clubbing. Sit down and have lunch together. Chat. Get to know each other properly. Friendships formed over alcohol never last as long as friendships formed through actual conversation.

Do stuff that the university puts on for students. Join societies. Get involved. One of the best nights I ever had at university was a masquerade ball that my college put on. And for some reason, I’ve never done anything like that since then? And I don’t understand why! University is for making memories, and I don’t really have many!

Travel around your university town. If you’re university is on a campus, don’t let your life revolve around that one place. If you’ve travelled away from home to go to university, then make it worth your while! See the sights, be a tourist, get on a bus and go to a random town and buy ice cream.

Experiment. This is the time. Dye your hair blue, join a weird and random society and take up a hobby you’d never dreamed of. If you want to try drugs, make sure it’s a safe environment and do your research before hand. If you don’t want to do that kind of thing, then don’t judge other people for doing so.

Give yourself a day off per week. When you’re at university and you’ve got loads of work, it’s tempting to just work constantly - or at least, to work every day, if not all the time. But it’s so much better for your mental state to take a day off to just relax.

Keep up with your chores. When you’re stressed about an assignment, you don’t want to be also stressed about that pile of washing up accumulating by the sink. Keep your room tidy too - clear space, clear mind.

Be kind to everyone. You’re going to meet a lot of people at university, some you’re going to hit it off with immediately. But there will be some who really rub you up the wrong way. Don’t worry about it, it’s completely fine to not like someone. But don’t be mean to them. This isn’t high school, you’re all here to learn and there’s just no need to make them feel bad about themselves. It’s just petty and childish.

Think about the future. I know that you’re completely wrapped up in your university life right now, but you’re going to have to venture out into the real world at some point. Do things that might help your future career: volunteer, get a job, join a sports club, make connections. University isn’t, sadly, forever.

There you have it! The advice that I would have given myself in the first year of university. Whether you’re just about to start university, or whether you’re just about to leave, I hope this is useful to you.

My very first studyblr post, yay! Here’s a look into my bullet journal and how I’ve set it up for March (don’t worry, that ‘März’ is just the German word for March, haha). Although I am not good at it yet, I’m actually quite satisfied with my bujo so far - especially the page with my youtube ideas (coming soon!). Can’t wait to make the most out of my bujo.
