100 Days of Productivity #4 - Day 18/100 August 17, 2018

Today I brainstormed m creative writing ideas for English extension, and finalised some English extension homework that was due. Tomorrow I will (hopefully) have all my study notes for my assessment block complete, so that I can start learning and revising ASAP.

apps to download for school 📚 📱

camscanner: will scan your notes beautifully for you to save and convert them to PDF! includes adjustable settings and filters.

adobe acrobat reader: pdf reader that i personally really love, has a night mode and works offline perfectly.

school (yes that is what it is called): planner app that comes with a timetable and will inform you of when your next class ends/begins, and has a homework section. on top of having a lovely theme, this app also includes a handbook that includes what are essentially “cheats” to your schoolwork & they are immensely helpful! a very multifaceted planner.

minimalist: another planner app! this one is solely a planner app and is really nice and minimalistic. i personally use it for school projects that have a lot of steps, as well as at home things

ike: this one is really clever! it organizes your tasks by “important & urgent, important but not urgent, urgent but not important” and “not important or urgent”. it also will remind you of tasks at the date you assign them with a notification.

goodtime: this app times both your work sessions and your break times. it’s really good for managing time and ensuring that you don’t overwork yourself!

sleepytime: sleepytime has you select an option for whether you want to find when you should wake up, when you should sleep, or when you should wake up if you sleep right then. from there, it’ll tell you what time to sleep/wake up for the best amount of sleep! i find it endlessly helpful, especially during the school year. avoid all nighters, kids.

quizlet: MY FAVORITE SCHOOL APP!! you’ve probably heard of it. access your flashcards for easy studying on the go, quizlet will actually save your life.

duolingo: i know you’ve probably heard of this one, & as annoying as the notifications can be, it’s actually pretty helpful for language learning. check the community comments as well for tips written by natives or those fluent!

soundcloud/spotify: these aren’t really school apps per say, but they both have tons of study playlists that will make studying that much easier! spotify also has podcasts you can listen to if you’d like.

please feel free to add more if i missed any that work for you!

Had a weird teary moment today because I love the library and I love books and life feels so fast and all over the place and everything is out of my control, which is a good thing really but it’s hard to see that right now. Then I remembered that control doesn’t really exist so, whatever

monday to thursday - semester six, week three

my week can be summed up as productive, but only for classes i actually like. tried and still haven’t finished that damn report, but i consoled myself in reading woolf’s to the lighthouse and looking more into my lit classes, and the linguistics one. next week’s load of work is supposed to be lighter, thanks gosh because i need this family time in the countryside i’m suppose to have as of tomorrow.

realities of essay planning: arrows, scribbles, lots (and lots) of question marks, messy handwriting. i’m so content. also working on my water intake today because it’s, uh, really hot. my canadian self was not made for this

Been a while since I studied at my desk. Currently studying Negotiable Instruments Law while listening to the construction right outside my window. 

I still can’t figure out if my table should face the window or in front of my mirror. It’s so difficult to maximize the space in my room. 

The time on my alarm clock is not the same as my laptop. Haha. Probably ahead a few seconds.

I survived my first exam this week and I‘m not sure if it went well or not :D I tried to catch up on sleep the days after and I‘m having trouble to start studying for my next exam. But I‘m trying my best :) I really like how this week‘s spread turned out! I added a drawing of a monstera leaf I created yesterday and I think it looks quite nice :‘)
