In a day that is so hot and sunny---a day in summer.... Children get to go out and play, Dogs get to go on short walks, and I get to stay at home and study physics. 🫤🙃

6/2/23

I haven’t updated my studyblr/bookblr since last year but I’m back and giving a rundown of my day and to-do list. I was at school today and was assigned a lot of work which is usual and for one of my classes, my teacher used my assignment as an example for other students to know what they’re supposed to do and I felt honored honestly. I came home and did a mid workout (wasn’t intense), worked on both legs and arms and I feel pretty good.

My to-do list for today:

English SBA group google meet at 5:30 (I’m in it right now)

English comparison essay on 2 poems

History essay questions

Principles of Business 2020 CSEC p1

EDPM Assignment 2 to complete

Geography SBA draft to complete

Soil leaching research and make small notes

Also, currently reading Good Girl Bad Blood and I’m hooked to this series.

I have until 12am to complete all or at least the first 3 tasks which is in approximately (5hrs and 34mins). Wish me luck!

(Damn I wish I had discipline)

[shanaisstudyingandreading]

Things I accomplished:

I attended the google meet and finish my English SBA

I wrote and printed my English comparison essay

Did the history essay questions (left out an entire question which i didn’t understand and a small point from another question)

I’m disappointed that I only got 3 tasks done but I’m also proud that I did because those were my main tasks.

My mistakes:

I spent almost 2 hours rewatching httyd:thw, hence, 2 hours wasted where I could’ve done more work.

I spent a good 20 minutes walking around my room and ranting to myself when I only had like 30 mins to finish my essay.

I need to work on my discipline but I am satisfied with what I’ve done.

how to get yourself out of a study rut 😧📚

tips for all my dear professional procrastinators 😏

okay okay now don't get too excited about this 😌 BUT this is the ultimate "get out of study rut" package.

- planning : this is what i did. i snatched the entire syllabus and wrote it down in my planner. i planned out my entire 3 weeks, when to study what. included breaks as well. i filled my entire day with 9 hours of study + exercise + classes + self-care stuff + sleep.

- time limit : you literally can't afford to sit for an entire day with one page of studying to do. that's such a wastage, babe. in a time deficiet, the first thing you need to do to allot a time limit to certain subjects. for example, i spend three hours studying biology and another three hours with dear old physics. if it exceeds three hours, i give up and come back to it later at the end of the day. time is galleons 💸

- distractions & autopilot mode : absolutely no distractions when you sit to study. no reading through with autopilot mode on. i know there are other better ways than reading through but i still do the ancient trick and that's reading, alright? coz you can't just jump into active recall methods without even reading through the chapter and knowing what it is about. while reading, ask and frame questions like you're the teacher.

- timer & techniques : set a timer, kiddo. i study for an hour and then take a 15 min break. work out which study technique works for you best and study accordingly. don't you dare lose your sleep to study 😤 sleep is important too! honestly, i always prioritize my health over studies coz if im not feeling good, how on earth can i expect my studying to be good?

- stress : pain is temporary but rewards are forever. i reminded myself how this stress is gonna last for only 3 weeks but the exam results are gonna leave a lasting good impression on me. it will lead to my self-motivation, improve the relationship i have with my teachers and encourage me to do even better next time. you have to realize that this will take a lot of hard work & consistency but do you want a good result? yeah? then go for it. take this challenge as an opportunity to learn new things. yes you pushed it beyond your limits and you're gonna achieve it. you just gotta push harder.

kiddo, you got this. you have me here to help you out with study ruts and holes and what not. i provide you weapons 😌 yes yes im your fairy godmother – and a very proud one too coz i see your efforts – but make this your own cindrella story. bring in a twist. shock everyone. just don't give up and lose your glass slipper, alright?
