Caught in a cycle of wanting to read but want to have a better note taking system so I actually remember what I read but not knowing what system I want to have without reading and see what pops up so wanting to read non fiction but want to have a better note taking system…

My months of rest and relaxation // day 8

I really need to get my eyes checked for new glasses, because I am pretty sure my eyesight has gone worse. I have been getting more and more of the headaches I had before I got my first pair of glasses, and that's not due to being tired and all. I am a bit annoyed at this, and on the more superficial level I really hope I'll find similar looking frames, because although my current pair is quite worn out I love it dearly. Thinking about it it makes sense I last got my eyesight checked when I was still in high school (I think I was either on my fourth or final year when I got my current pair of glasses). What I am sure I'll do is get a pair that is blue-light blocking because digital lights and screens are my main nemesis when it comes to headaches.

Productivity:

read a lot (I have read at least a chapter of all the books on my currently reading shelf!)

continued my re-listening of the magnus archives

started reading and underlining the Irish grammar material @oneanxiousstudybuddy kindly shared with me

practiced Irish on duolingo

Self care:

did not set an alarm in the morning

read first thing in the morning

took a relaxing bath

tonight I'll go out to dinner with a friend I haven't catched up with in a while

KOREAN QUOTES

⚠️I decided to post a list of motivational Korean quotes. I got these quotes from this website: anayokota

Motivation doesn't last. Sometimes you'll be so excited to study and learn, but other times you won't want to study at all. If you create a proper study routine and make it a habit to study, you'll be able study even when you don't want to.

LIST:

시작이 반이다. Starting is half of the battle.

로마는 하루아침에 이루어진 것이 아니다.

Rome wasn’t built in a day.

당신의 미래는 지금 당신이 무엇을 하고 있는가에 달려 있다. Your future depends on what you do in the present.

원숭이도 나무에서 떨어진다 . Even a monkey sometimes falls from the tree

꿈을 꾸고 믿을 수 있다면 이룰 수도 있다. Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve.

오늘 한 시간이 내일 두 시간 보다 가치있다. Spending an hour now is better than spending two tomorrow. Do it now — don’t procrastinate. 

늦더라도 안 하느니보다 낫다. Better late than never. 

배움에는 왕도가 없다. There is no shortcut to learning.

치지 않은 공은 100% 골인되지 않는다. You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.

세상에서 보고싶은 변화가 있다면 당신 스스로 그 변화가 되어라. Be the change you want to see in the world.

고생 끝에 낙이 온다. No pain; no gain. 

어디든 가치가 있는 곳으로 가려면 지름길은 없다. There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.

멈추지 말고 계속해 나가기만 한다면 늦어도 상관없다.  It doesn't matter if it's late as long as you don't stop and keep going.

These days I am so physically and mentally tired that I am not in the mental space to learn languages actively, therefore I’m mainly relying on passive learning and doing immersion in Spanish


All of this to tell you that you need to prioritize yourselves, if you’re tired and don’t feel like studying for a bit of time, just relax. You are the most important thing you have! ✨
