[03.30.2021] Spring break is a myth lol. University students know it only serves as a way to work on your assignments. #studytips #studygrammer #minimalistchallenge #minimaliststudygram #minimalistnotes #studyblr #studygram #student #study #biomimicry #biomechanics #notetaking #notesinspo #studyaesthetic #booklover #bookstagram #writing #studentlife #studymotivation (em Portugal) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNC6aG2hKjm/?igshid=2wufm9kg4k1y

Day 5/28 *skiped day four because I didn’t have anything to declutter*

Post anything you like but write about what motivates you to study at the end of the day, when you’re bone tired, and it’s just you and the textbook

When it’s just me and the textbook what really keeps me motivated is the though that I’ve already put so much time an energy into my studies, it would be a shame to waste it by not studying now. Sometimes, I am motivated to study because I really enjoy the subject matter. But, when it’s a class i don’t really like, I get through it because I know I need to finish it.

Tips:

- Split your reading into smaller chunks over a few days. If you force yourself to read 100 pages in one go, you are going to lose interest and get burned out. 

- Reward yourself if you finish your readings. It can be a cup of tea, a cookie, or even a quick walk around; whatever you want.

- Promodo timers really help. When you feel like you can’t get motivated, just do five minutes. I guarantee if you push yourself for those five minutes, you will want to continue. You don’t need to do the traditional promodo timer set-up, you can change it to what works best for you. But, i don’t recommend making the study time less than 25 minutes; you won’t get much done in a shorter time.

Day 3/28

Write about something that sparks joy! it doesn’t have to be study related! 

I know this is gross but the thing that makes me the happiest is: My boyfriend! I have a bunch of photos of him (and other friends) on the wall above my desk to keep my motivated in my Chinese studies. He is Chinese and lives in Shanghai so it’s a very long-distance relationship. He keeps me motivated. Even though he is no longer in school and never went to University, he tries to support my efforts to further my education even though it keeps me 7,000 miles from him. A simple message from him will make my day. (He is also super smart and talented. He took the photo I used for the header.) He is the cutest person on the planet and is super shy. It took one of his friends to invite me to hang out for him to start talking to me. He was afraid I wouldn’t want to talk to him. I could go on for hours about him but I won’t. He brings me the most Joy.

*I didn’t post his face because I don’t know if he would be okay with that*

Day 1/28

Post a pic/write about any “clutter” you have in your life, whether that be physical clutter in your study spaces, mental or emotional clutter

I don’t have a lot of storage space like shelves or anything like that. So, when I move things around my room, they tend to accumulate on my desk or in my chair. Then when I use my desk/chair, the things get moved to my bed. Every week or two I declutter, but it just regrows.
