#beproductive

"Push yourself because, no one else is going to do it for you."

Hello Tumblr people, I know it can be really hard to stay productive when you are staying at home all day. That's why I believe in the importance of routines that you can rely on.

It took me a while to set a prefect morning routine in order not to procrastinate.

I'm still learning and therefore I often fail, but I know how to get up and these websites that I recommend, can help us.

Here's my routine

-I start my day at 7.30 in the morning (when I can get up so early hehe), so I get up and then I open the windows to let air into the room;

-The first thing I do in the kitchen is pull up the curtains. I like how it is cold and breezy in the early morning and this instantly sets me into a good mood;

-Then I walk to the fridge to choose the ingredients for my breakfast. I often eat a chocolate snack and, when I like, I opt for fresh fruit. I drink peach cold tea;

-The second thing that I do is my morning skin care: cleansing gel, tonic, moisturizer and lip balm, of course after brushing my teeth too;

-Once back in the room I take off my pajamas and put on clean and fresh clothes to stay light and ventilated all day;

-Then I walk to my desk and I clean up whatever I have left the day before. Once my desk is cleaned, I grab my bullet journal to check my to do list. It's an habit I have been doing for 2 years and it keeps me focused and productive (sometimes I forget to compile it when I don't feel inspired uwu);

-Once I'm done with Journaling, I turn off my phone notifications and I grab my PC to check my university website where I have all my online lessons. Here, I start to procrastinate. Often I don't find the motivation you know, but as I said, these websites down here are helping me stay productive;

REMEMBER: just because people are getting things that I want quicker then me, doesn't mean it's still not possible for me. My time line is not the same as theirs, it is still possible for me. Our time will come.

-When I am done with my online lessons, it is usually 11am. I grab my phone and I check my Instagram messages as a break. And once I have checked my phone, I get started on the rest of the things that are on my to do list like clean the room and cook for lunch. I really enjoy this part of the day.

If you are productive in the morning, you're more likely to be productive in the afternoon and evening.

I hope you liked reading about my morning routine. If you like, comment by telling me about your routine or giving me advice on how to be motivated.

Bye.

Websites for studying/relaxing/escaping

Lifeat.io - it's a cute website that really helps you to get inspired. You can find virtual study and work spaces around the world (Cafe, library, hogwarts themed ambience, study with celebrities..) The website also use the pomodoro timer (25 minutes of work, 5 minutes short break or 15 minutes long break).

Lofi.café - offers you Lofi music streams for studying, working and also relaxing.

Coffitivity.com - recreates a cafe library ambience with mixers and various types of sounds (morning murmur, university undertones..) It's quite inspirational.

Ambientmixer.com - this is absolutely my favorite. You can find. You can find all imaginable environments, from TV series to movies, from nature to English bar lounges, from London in the 800s to the Paris of la vie en rose. All with mixers and a free account if you want to sign up.

Asoftmurmur.com - creates ambient sounds to wash the distraction (rain forest, city, waterfall, cicadas, stream, fire cracking). There's a timer that you can set and mixers.

Imissmycafé.com - it's a soft aesthetic website, take a seat and stay a while. You can set a dark mode while listening to varous sounds (coffee cups, barista, machinery, rainy day, preparing drinks).

Imissmybar.com - it's another very aesthetic bar themed site, conceived by the same creators of "I miss my Cafe" . You can mix various sounds like people talking, street ambience, bartender working, serving drinks, etc.

Allolo.ru/?id=5 - offers you silent noise of nature, from cascades to rainy forest, from gardens to city ambience.

Mynoise.net - Creates beautiful noises to mask the noises you don't want to hear: your chatty colleagues, tinnitus or even your inner voice when you can't shut it down. (Cafe restaurant, Japanese garden, rain on a tent, calm office, people bleach, singing bowls, etc)

Write in the comments other sites if you know them.

Stay safe 🧸

Thank you, sincerely

TERTIPU OLEH WAKTU

           Kita hidup pada zaman di mana waktu dianggap tidak begitu penting, tidak ada yang memerdulikan, menghargai, dan bahkan memanfaatkannya dengan baik. Aduhai betapa banyak anak adam yang tertipu. Tidakkah engkau melihat betapa banyak orang yang menghabiskan waktunya hanya untuk hal-hal yang sia-sia? Bahkan sia-sia untuk dunianya. Shadaqa Rasulullah. Rasulullah pernah bersabda

نِعْمَتَانِ مَغْبُونٌ فِيهِمَا كَثِيرٌ مِنْ النَّاسِ الصِّحَّةُ وَالْفَرَاغُ

“Dua nikmat, kebanyakan manusia tertipu dengan keduanya, yaitu kesehatan dan waktu luang.” (HR. Al-Bukhari). Wahai saudaraku berapa banyak waktu yang kita habiskan hanya untuk gawai kita, sering kali kita terlena dengannya.      

           Apakah kita mau menjadi manusia yang merugi? Padahal Allah telah menetapkan masa bagi setiap hambanya. Tidak akan ada lagi waktu tambahan bagi kita semua

وَهُمْ يَصْطَرِخُونَ فِيهَا رَبَّنَآ أَخْرِجْنَا نَعْمَلْ صَٰلِحًا غَيْرَ ٱلَّذِى كُنَّا نَعْمَلُ ۚ أَوَلَمْ نُعَمِّرْكُم مَّا يَتَذَكَّرُ فِيهِ مَن تَذَكَّرَ وَجَآءَكُمُ ٱلنَّذِيرُ ۖ فَذُوقُوا۟ فَمَا لِلظَّٰلِمِينَ مِن نَّصِيرٍ

Dan mereka berteriak di dalam neraka itu: "Ya Tuhan kami, keluarkanlah kami niscaya kami akan mengerjakan amal yang saleh berlainan dengan yang telah kami kerjakan". Dan apakah Kami tidak memanjangkan umurmu dalam masa yang cukup untuk berfikir bagi orang yang mau berfikir, dan (apakah tidak) datang kepada kamu pemberi peringatan? maka rasakanlah (azab Kami) dan tidak ada bagi orang-orang yang zalim seorang penolongpun. (Qs. Fatir [35]: 37)

           Allah telah memberikan masa yang cukup untuk setiap hambanya tapi kebanyakan dari kita terlena oleh waktu yang Allah berikan. Sungguh sebenarnya begitu banyak waktu yang telah Allah berikan. Tidakkah kau pernah mengamati jarum jam yang bergerak setiap detiknya. Tidakkah kau merasa begitu lambat? Akan tetapi, saat waktu tidak dipedulikan, tidak ada yang memperhatikan, tidak ada yang memanfaatkannya maka waktu berlalu begitu cepat tanpa kita sadari. Cobalah bacalah Al-qur’an 1 jam saja, mungkin diantara kita ada yang bisa sampai 1-2 juz kita baca. Begitu banyak pahala yang kita dapatkan dari 1 jam saja untuk membaca Al-qur’an. Namun, berbeda saat kita dihadapkan dengan gawai kita, 1 jam atau 2 jam atau 3 jam berlalu begitu cepat tak terasa.        

           Sadarilah bahwa waktu tidak akan terhenti. Kita layaknya penumpang yang sedang berada pada gerbong kereta yang terus berjalan menuju kematian. Maka manfaatkanlah waktu yang ada selagi gerbong itu masih berjalan. Rasulullah ﷺ bersabda,

اغْتَنِمْ خَمْسًا قَبْلَ خَمْسٍ : شَبَابَكَ قَبْلَ هَرَمِكَ ، وَصِحَّتَكَ قَبْلَ سَقَمِكَ ، وَغِنَاكَ قَبْلَ فَقْرِكَ  وَفَرَاغَكَ قَبْلَ شُغْلِكَ ، وَحَيَاتِكَ قَبْلَ مَوْتِكَ

“Gunakan 5 perkara sebelum 5; masa mudamu sebelum masa tuamu, masa sehatmu sebelum masa sakitmu, masa kayamu sebelum masa kefakiranmu, masa luangmu sebelum masa sibukmu, dan masa hidupmu sebelum kematianmu.” (HR. Hakim dan Al-Hakim menyatakan shahih dan disetujui Imam Adz-Dzahabi dan dihasankan oleh Syaikh Al-Albani).

           Sungguh merugi diri ini. berpa banyak waktu yang kita habiskan hanya untuk gawai kita perharinya? Berapa banyak waktu yang kita sia-sia kan? Tidakkah kita mau mencontoh kisah-kisah ulama kita terdahulu yang benar-benar memaksimalkan waktu hingga tidak ada yang tersia-siakan sedikitpun. Mari kita berkaca pada kisah-kisah ulama terdahulu dalam memanfaatkan waktu.

1.      Ibnu Rajab al-Hanbali dalam Adz-Dza`il ‘Ala Thabaqat al-Hanabilah menyebutkan biografi Ibnu ‘Aqil al-Hanbali dari Ibnu Jauzi rahimahullah,

“Ibnu Aqil selalu menyibukkan diri dengan ilmu. Sampai-sampai aku pernah melihat tulisannya yang berbunyi, ‘Tidak selayaknya aku menyia-nyiakan usiaku meski sesaat. Oleh karena itu, apabila telah lelah lisanku dari mengulang-ulang hafalan atau berdiskusi dan kedua mataku dari membaca, maka aku memaksimalkan fungsi otakku ketika beristirahat. Aku tidak akan pergi dari tempatku sampai mengetahui sebuah masalah yang akan kutulis. Sungguh, pada usia 80 tahun ambisiku terhadap ilmu lebih tinggi daripada saat usia 20 tahun’.”

2.      Amir bin Abdul Qais rahimahullah melewati orang-orang pemalas dan senang menganggur. Mereka duduk berbincang-bincang tanpa arah, lalu menyapa Amir dengan mengatakan, “Kemarilah, duduklah bersama kami.” Amir menjawab, “Tahanlah matahari agar ia tidak bergerak, baru saya akan bergabung duduk-duduk dan berkelakar bersama kalian.” (Shaidul Khatir).

3.      Ibrahim bin al-Jarrah berkata, “Imam Abu Yusuf al-qadhi rahimahullah sedang sakit. Saya pun menjenguknya. Saat itu dia tidak sadarkan diri. Ketika terjaga (terbangun pen.), beliau lalu bersandar dan mengatakan, “Hai Ibrahim, bagaimana pendapatmu dalam masalah ini?” Saya menjawab, “Dalam kondisi seperti ini?” Dia mengatakan, “Tidak mengapa, kita terus belajar. Mudah-mudahan ada orang yang terselamatkan karena kita memecahkan masalah ini.” Lalu saya pulang, ketika baru sampai rumah, saya mendengar kabar bahwa beliau telah wafat.

Bahkan para ulama memanfaatkan waktunya sebaik mungkin di saat menjelang wafat.

Memang sangat sulit untuk meniru mereka, bahkan bisa dibilang tidak mungkin untuk menyamai mereka. Jangan bandingkan diri kita dengan mereka. Namun, kita jadika kisah-kisah tersebut sebagai penyemangat untuk senantiasa memanfaatkan waktu semaksimal mungkin untuk dunia dan akhirat kita. Rasulullah juga memerintahkan kita untuk bersemangat dalam kegiatan yang bermanfaat bagi kita

احْرِصْ عَلَى مَا يَنْفَعُكَ وَاسْتَعِنْ بِاللَّهِ وَلاَ تَعْجِز

….Bersemangatlah atas hal-hal yang bermanfaat bagimu…. (HR. Muslim).

 Semoga bermanfaat.

Ep. 168 How to create a simple system

[dakshijaagrawal]

LIVING THE LIFE

you can live your life in 2 ways:-

1. by living that today is your last day - it will make you more productive and you’ll be able to finish off things in bulk

2. by living that today is your first day - your will notice the fine details in your life which you somehow happen to ignore normally . curiosity will take over and you will enjoy each and every moment in depth.

Hello! I’ve been wanting to give a lil sneak peak of my bullet journal for a while now, but I wanted all my tasks for the day to be complete. Unfortunately for me, that would only happen when the sun went down

Today I got up a lil early so I could finish my tasks and take cute pictures outside, it was so worth it *does victory dance*

I started BuJo after a friend of mine ( @ughicyyyyy ) dragged me into it. At first, I didn’t really see the point of it but I’ve noticed a few changes ever since I got this journal:

I’ve been more productive. I try my best to complete all my tasks of the day and get pretty disappointed when there’s a cross in the box instead of that pretty green color.

I don’t forget a lot of things now. I write all my important reminders down and since I have a habit of checking on my journal every few times a day ( it’s pretty, I can’t just not look at it 🥴 ) don’t often forget anything

I’ve been a little more relaxed. This one kinda gets you ??? but trust me, when you make cute spreads ( which I have yet to show you guys 👀 ) it helps you relax from the tiring “no rest” routine and catch your breath

The important thing to remember is to have fun with it. Don’t make your journal bland and boring ( though if you really prefer it that way, go for it! ). Doodle Spongebob on the corner of a page or use neon markers for headings. Decorate it in a way it would make you want to open it every few hours, just because it’s pretty.

I’m gonna go tick off the last task for today off, which was to update tumblr :)

That’s it for today’s update! take care <3

Yoooo!!! Homie!!! Listen up!!

Jealous people will come and talk NONSENSE about you to make you feel like you don’t deserve to be where you’re at today. And lemme tell ya, that says more about them than about you.

[mykittyworld]

Relax and unwind during this crazy time.

Start loving yourself, start giving yourself a priority and do in your best capacity what your heart wants instead of regrets later in life.
