5.1.2020 // I think I was only productive for 8 hours in total this week. Featuring my semi-messy desk. My productivity isn’t as great as it used to be; I’m so used to working in actual coffee shops that studying at home has weirdly become a challenge. I’m thinking of creating a virtual coffee shop just so I can “see” other people and be inspired to work on my own things.

Hey all, so I'm back?

I had an exam two days ago and needless to say I bombed it ( in a bad way ). I was super sad and I still am which gave rise to a fear in me that I might not get into any uni I wanna be considering the streak of low scores. My anxiety didn't help the situation and I kept on having breakdowns.

But finally I talked to my friends and they gave me hope that I can still make it. I'm not sure if I can but I will try my best.

Thankyou @coffeecodeblr @almost-rory-gilmore for being there.

I decided to take a few break days and went to my farmhouse, met my dogs and did a bit of swimming ( it was kind of like self care because all this stuff makes me happy ). I can't say I'm happy now per se but I'm hopeful.

Now I'm gonna make a new study schedule from scratch and see if I can make things work.

I guess this post is just to tell everyone that maybe sometimes thinks don't work out, but then we as humans are stubborn little beings who still don't give up. So if you're going through a tough patch and thinking that you might not make it, just know that you have people around you, me around you if you wanna talk. And that you CAN make it.

Here take a hug ＼(^o^)／

All we can do is try and I believe you will💙

4.25.2020 // Guess who’s back on Tumblr (a lot has changed)! The lack of human interaction and loss of a normal routine has me feeling really out of place. On the bright side, I was able to get a few hours of studying in!

I still can't find the perfect music for when I study but I'm sure I will soon.

THE TASKS FOR THE DAY:

Coordination chemistry ncert

Modern physics and Radioactivity short notes

Organic revision for alcohols, phenols and ethers ( @thatbrandnewbindersmell proud of me yet?)

Drink water

Yep so that's pretty much I guess.

Anyway I'm halfway done with this right now which is really cool.

Today is a good day.

Anyway stay safe and love ya'll <3

I've taken a lot of break days in the middle anyway so the study days need to be extended too :)

THE TASKS FOR TODAY:

Modern physics ( notes + questions)

Daily organic lecture with @nineballbutmakeitstudy :)

Reduce instagram time usage

Write one poem atleast

And try not to let my depression take over me + drink water. ( these are just to motivate and remind myself sorry for being weird)

Anyway I'll be back tomorrow with the progress.

Till then adios and wish me luck!

DAY 18/?

I managed to complete 4 chapters yesterday which is great. I'm getting a little more productive day by day and thats really helping me boost my motivation.

But then on the other hand my anxiety is worse than ever. When I'm okay I'll study with no problem at all but then there are times when I'll cry for hours for no apparent reason. And I also miss my friends really badly.

But it's okay. I'm managing to do more work than before and my unproductive streak is reducing.

Let's hope it doesn't get bad again.

Anyway the tasks for the day.

Complete waves

Complete wave optics

Do prev years questions

Do Mol concept and redox reactions

Doodle in between breaks

Play badminton

Drink water

Read a novel when tired

And again if you kind humans got any advice for this bish.. Feel free to share?

Till then, adios.

DAY 02/15

27 April, 2020

Yo,

So I changed yesterday's schedule midway which was a bummer but I still studied for 6 hours which is more than my normal routine. It'll take time but I think I will be on track again.

So I completed complex numbers and quadratic equations with questions, checked the solutions of some questions, did some more questions of coordinate geometry and did elasticity. Oh and also reorganized my study table which still doesn't look like much but it worse earlier (trust me on this one please).

THE TASKS FOR THE DAY ARE:

Complete heat and calorimetry

Do Physics prev year questions

Start with nitrogen containing compounds

See solutions for previously attempted questions

Now I know most of these are same as yesterday but I can't keep neglecting them forever.

I'm really not doing physics anymore and I'm afraid I might forget them till the exam approaches which will be bad.

Anyway I hope I can complete this.

Wish me luck babes.

DAY 06-09/30

5 JUNE, 2020 - 8 JUNE, 2020

Hello people,

So my productivity is pretty much sinusoidal right now but yea there are times when I do manage to do some work.

Life isn't the best right now and I miss my friends like a LOT.

But I am still trying and not thinking of giving up which is a big step for me given my mental state.

Anyway stay safe lovelies <3

PS : the book there helps me not to give up I'm hard situations and I'm glad I have it. ( also @thatbrandnewbindersmell desperately wants this book and if I don't show off this in front of her then what kinda friend am I? @thatbrandnewbindersmell if you want the book meet me please.. *puppy dog eyes*)
