May spread!

My exams finished last week and I got all my grades yesterday. So I officially finished my second year of university!!

The first two years we learn about basic stuff, the next one we start with the clinical subjects.

It wasn’t easy and there were a lot of exams… specially during the last month.

I’m officially on holiday now!

productive break taking: a guide to getting the most out of your study breaks

1. what is a productive break? “productive breaks” is a common term in the online study community, but it is commonly misused. a productive break isn’t a break that you do productive things during (i.e. cleaning, etc); a productive break is a break that produces real rest.

2. in my opinion, a better term for these breaks is intentional breaks. this is because a productive break has to be intentional in order to successfully produce rest. intentionally choosing your break makes sure that you can enjoy your break and get the most out of it. being intentional about breaks means choosing the: time, activity, and place.

3. Time: the first step in creating an intentional, productive break is choosing when your break will be. Before: taking a break before starting charges your batteries. During: taking breaks during work, like the pomodoro method, helps maintain energy. After: taking a break after work creates a reward.

4. Time: it’s also important to choose how long your break will be. whether you set a timer, alarm, or simply watch the clock, choosing a set amount of time for your break can ensure that it remains intentional. also, if yu don’t have a set time for your break, you may find yourself starting to feel guilty, or “unproductive.” this is the antithesis of a productive, or intentional break. an intentional break is productive simply by being a break; there’s no wrong way to take a break. this also means that your break can be as long or as short as you want!

5. Activity: an intentional break also requires intentional activity. However, “activity” is another word that’s sometimes used to promote productivity culture. activity doesn’t mean being active; it just means being specific about what you are doing. just like time, there’s no wrong activity to do while taking a break. scrolling through social media, staring out a window, or taking a nap are all productive break activities in that they can help you rest and relax. the key is intentionally choosing to do what you are doing on your break.

6. Place: the last step in intentional break taking is choosing where you take your break. just like the other two steps, there’s no wrong place to take a break! At the desk: taking breaks where you work can get you back in focus quickly. Outside: going outside is proven to help you reset and improve mental health. New space: moving to a different chair or room can make a break feel more comprehensive.

7. a productive break isn’t a break when you get stuff done; it’s when you get rest done.

Some colorful journals and my new bookshelf! Technically, it’s not new; it used to be my shoe rack for some reason, but a few days ago, I came across the realization that, perhaps, it’s much better and more convenient as a bookshelf. I’m currently waiting for more books so the middle will probably fill up and the ones at the bottom are ones I’ve read already! Honestly, in this household, we stan books. By the way, if y’all have any books to recommend, please send them my way!! It’d be much appreciated. I’ve been filling the days with cleaning, journaling, and watching videos. I don’t know if it’s just me, but I’ve really been feeling like time goes by so fast these days. I should probably start getting up early tbh. Anyways, I hope all y’all are doing well and have a relaxing weekend!! 🤍✨

March productivity challenge

3rd March: If you could make your own garden (consider that it is self-tending, and has the perfect environment for the plants you'd choose) how would you plan it out? styles, locations, fauna you'd plant, furniture? Just talk about your dream garden.

It would have lots of trees ,berries bushes, undergrowth, a mini lake with some fishes and lotus. The trees full of lichens,mosses and eiphytes . A urban garden full of aromatics, vegetables and trees such as lemons, avocados and apples.i would also like to have lots of vines falling all over the garden.

Another old traveling spread of the time I went to Nürnberg, featuring a cat cafe and lots of churches.

Yesterday I had a failing scare and I must say I didn't feel great about it. Here on studyblr we talk a lot about how not achieving perfection is fine and how we shouldn't be hard on ourselves, but it's really hard to adopt that mentality for yourself, especially when you're used to getting good grades. Finally I was able to reach the professor and she agreed to give me a passing grade, but it still made me feel very embarrassed and just bad about myself. I guess that's something I should work on in the future.

Today I will be "teaching" a small theater workshop for my spanish university theater group, I'm excited to work again with people in person! These workshops are always a lot of fun and they give us the opportunity to get to know new people for the group. Have you guys ever done theater?

I’m really going for the early fall vibe here with these greens and creams, and I love it 🍃

I’m still alive!

I know I haven’t posted anything in a while… school has been exhausting lately.

There have been a lot of projects, tests, expositions, assignments…

It was my birthday a few days ago and I had two exams and an exposition to prepare.

Anyways, here are some pictures of a few notes. Digital and on paper… which one do you prefer?

“I hope there are days when you fall in love with being alive”

Hi there! Long time no see!

Exams, assignments and holidays took me down for a while… but I’m back!

Here are some pages from my 2022 bujo. I use one per year, what about you?

I really want to be more active in social media… I’ve been watching the studygram community lately, would it be a good idea to join?
