‘eat the frog' method

Hi all, it’s werelivingarts. I just stumbled across this method called ‘eat the frog’, which means you get the most difficult or important task out of your way first. I actually have been using this method for a long time, hope this post gives you a new way of managing your time and productivity! 😜

“If it’s your job to eat a frog, it’s best to do it first thing in the morning. And if it’s your job to eat two frogs, it’s best to eat the biggest one first.” – Mark Twain

here is my brand new challenge! i’ve known that i was going to do this challenge since i started my summer challenge in july so i am so psyched to be able to finally share it with you guys! i hope that you will enjoy it <3

DISCLAIMER: lots of the prompts in December are to do with Christmas because that is what i celebrate at this time of year. i was very aware of that when i was writing the prompts but i did not think that knew enough about other festivals and holidays at this time to write prompts about them. i did not want any prompts i made to be disrespectful. if you don’t celebrate Christmas, please know that this challenge is still for you! you can either just use the prompts anyway (if they are applicable) or adapt them to fit the festival or holiday that you celebrate. if it is impossible to adapt, then simply tell me about what you celebrate because i am excited to learn about them! [this was edited later because i realised i forgot to add it - thank you to the anon who queried this issue for reminding me <3]

✨ Info ✨

If you do the challenge, use the tag #winter studying challenge so i (and others) can see your posts. I try to reblog as many as possible. 

This challenge will run for two months - from the 1st December to the 31st January

There are daily prompts for every day of December and January 

But as always I don’t expect everyone to be able to post every day so you can always do catchup posts!

If you have any questions, feel free to send me an ask!

✨ Rules ✨

If you want to do the challenge, please reblog this post

idea - queer academia

discussing lgbt+ authors, artists, poets etc

talking about modern media like film and tv

being less classist, racist, euro-centric and ableist

queer theory

drag, gender non-conformity, gender fluidity

talking about healthy polyamory

philosophy but gay

pirate, cowboy, highway-man aesthetic

princess, greek goddess, victorian lady aesthetic

but without the misogyny, racism, classism etc

non-binary people being represented in academia

asexual/aromantic people being represented in academia

also lesbians, gay men, trans people etc

because a lot of this stuff is cishet and white

discussing the problematic elements of classic books

why don’t we talk about those queer classics authors 

gothic as f u c k

[royactuallystudies]

everyone i have seen on tumblr is so good at writing poetry while my poems are like “knife with a rice goes and kill mike”

[sansacademia]

simply want to learn latin or ancient greek like the year 13 classics students :pensive: i am but a humble year 12 with a love for languages

[sansacademia]

oh also i dropped spanish for classics ❤️ was not even for the academia aesthetic i just fucking hated spanish and wanted out

[sansacademia]

instead of 100 days of productivity i will be doing 100 days of unproductivity. i simply will not be doing any of my work

[sansacademia]

hello sorry i’ve been so inactive!! with starting at sixth form college soon i want to get into the swing of this blog properly. so, updates!

i’m incredibly happy with my results!! i got one 9, 5 8s, 3 7s and a 6 which is so much better than i could’ve ever hoped for.

because of my results being as they are, i also got into the sixth form college of my choice!! (not like it’s one of the best state sixth forms in the country either haha wdym 😳😳)

i’m also going to dye my hair black later this week but i feel like that’s less relevant

anyway!! i should be starting to post again soon!!

[riceblush-deactivated20181229]

do not let white academia fool you into thinking that

the greatest authors that were and ever will be are white men

every great philosopher came out of europe

mathematics and science were at their highest point when used by white men

the most beautiful city in the world is paris

colonialism was a golden age

europe is the pinnacle of civilization

[sansacademia]

today’s battle is my sanity vs finding out that the city in which one of my favourite shows is set has a uni which is meant to be GREAT for psychology

18/6/20
