i am looking respectfully.

The avatars can appear and seem like people when they want to, but they’re all far more Creature than human

They play fight and actually fight more like wild animals and get very territorial

I’m picturing Creature-Like as in Toothless and the dragons (specifically from httyd I, where Toothless acted more Creature)

marathon writing set up - a guide

Hi tumblr!

I’m gonna have to write a scientific paper over the course of a weekend and as I was setting up to do so, I thought some of you might find something of interest in my method to successfully set up for. these can apply to any type of writing and can work for other types of mental effort on a deadline I guess (studying, content creation etc)

Also, usual disclaimer, this is my method, not The One and Only Way to do stuff yada yada. 

(sorry if it’s rambly, I wanted to get that out before I start on my quest.) 

Space: Clear out your work surface of all things unnecessary. this doesn’t mean you need to go on a three-day tidying spree. you don’t have the time. Just clear the space. Move the stuff to another place, throw it on the floor of another room. I don’t care, just clear the space you’re gonna be spending the whole time in. 

Food: Stock up your fridge/pantry if you have one. Ideally get nutrient-dense food, and not just junk food. Your brain needs the energy. But also, get food you’re gonna eat. Now it’s not the time to try out new diets or lifestyles. If you could survive on grilled cheese alone and be happy, get the ingredients to make yourself grilled cheese. Also, get things to snack on. If you like it, fruit is very nice because it’s an easily accessible source of simple carbs and hydration. Otherwise, whatever snack you fancy. I’ve got apricots, cherries, pretzels and prunes 

Hydration: you want to give yourself the best shot here, so staying hydrated is key. If you filter water, do it. If you buy it bottled, stock up on it. If you like fruit juices, they are once again both hydration and a sugar supply (your brain runs on simple sugars, once again, deadlines are not the times to worry about diet - unless you have to for medical reason ofc) 

Stimulants: if you know you’re gonna need energy drinks, coffee, tea, all three, none of the three, etc, make sure you have a supply on handy. 

Know what works for you. To give you an example - for me the pomodoro technique does not cut it, I’m an hyperfocuser, and having to stop after 1h to take a break is more of a bother than a relief, and the 5 or 145 minutes break very easily turns into an afternoon of procrastination. 

Know what distracts you and cut it out. Tell your family and friends that you are not going to respond tot heir texts for the duration of your marathon. Put the phone on mute or on airplane mode if that distracts you. Install selective site blockers if you don’t trust yourself on your browser but still need it open to get the work done.
