a few study tips for myself

If you didn’t study as much as you wanted to, didn’t get as many questions right as you wanted to, or anything towards the lines of ‘you didn’t reach a certain goal you wanted to reach in a certain period of time’, don’t torture yourself over it. Let it go. Move on. Try again.

DO >NOT<, I said DO NOT do all-nighters. They’re so bad for your anxiety and for your depression, and can often trigger both of them. Don’t do it!!! Just take the time to write down everything you need to do and do it throughout the week, or the next morning. There’s literally no need to do it all at once if you’re going to feel so bad over it afterwards. 

If you didn’t wake up early, or as early as you wanted to, that’s okay, your day’s not wasted, you can still get a few things done, just adjust your day to the amount of hours you’re going to have. This one might seem silly, but lately with this whole productivity trend on tumblr and youtube, I feel sometimes like I have to wake up at 5am or 6am, like a lot of these people do,in order to get things done and start my day properly. Don’t get me wrong, waking up early is great and it does save you a lot of time, but it’s not essencial everyday - if maybe you were working late or you just slept in cause you were really tired/fatigued, just let it be, and then, like I said,  work with the hours you have. 

On that note: PRODUCTIVITY DOES NOT EQUAL HEALTH. Let that really sink in. You’re not a machine. You needing breaks and getting tired is what makes you human, so don’t judge those moments - and please, don’t advocate them either. Rest. And don’t ever feel guilty about it. 

Don’t advocate time for yourself. Always have a few hours each day to be in touch with yourself, to engage in some kind of spiritual/religious practice, or just meditate. Always have a day of the week where you can stop and digest everything that happened throughout the week, maybe write about it, journal, and a day dedicated to your next week, where you can get your shit together, clean the house, and do some planning. Which brings me to my next point: 

Always, always take a few hours of your weekend to plan your next week. Don’t ever advocate that either. It is needed and yes sometimes seeing the amount of work you’re gonna have to put up with that week can make you nervous, but just breath in and trust you can do it. Your weeks can get so messy and you end up having to work a lot more if you don’t plan, so. That also counts for your meals!! Plan your meals!! Save yourself some freaking time!! Like Kati Morton greatly said in a recent video, most times, self-care means not self-indulging into a movie, a tv show or a bunch of unhealthy food, but doing things for your future self. Plan ahead. Do your laundry and clean your house regularly. Don’t wait until everything’s messy and you have no clothes to wear to finally do things. Do your freaking homework and your assignments as soon as you can. You’ll feel so much better about yourself.
