2/100 days of productivity

These past few days haven't been the best, as I again have this feeling of unmotivation and generally no energy. This is the main reason I started the 100 dop again, to get my motivation back, and I really hope it will work. Anyway I have been pretty productive today since I :

Read and underlined 40 pages of the book I am studying

Journaled in the morning

Programmed the dates of my next exams

Finally started the last season of Strange Things (which I procrastinated since it first came out)

Wrote down a list of new prompts to use in my journal

Practiced some self care

Read soms comics

Winter study challenge day 36 // 5th January

Would you rather live in a world where it's always winter or always summer?

So, not an easy one, but I guess at the end of the day I would rather live in a world where's always winter. Simply because when it gets really hot I feel like I do not have any energy at all. Still I believe that it'd be awful to live in a world where only one season exists, I am way too connected to nature to be able to live in a world as such.

16/100 days of productivity

Today I finished writing down notes on the historical sources I've been working on. i have also heard from my professor who gave me advices and basically told me to look for more sources of another kind so that's my plan for tomorrow morning. I have also found time to journal and write in my manifestation journal. I am trying to work on myself as much as possible these days as I have not been feeling great. Today I also gave a one hour english lession to my godmother's niece, whom I have help previously and I'll be helping in the future, spending time and working with her gave me a bit of new energy, which I really needed.

Winter study challenge day 50 // 19th January What outdoor winter activity do you love?

Just walking in the woods, I mean that's one of my favourite activities in general, no matter the season, but when there's a bit of snow falling down and the air is cleaner than ever, it's just onfle of the best feelings in the world.

Winter study challenge day 51 // 20th January

Do you do any winter sports?

Nope, I should say I don't practice any sports at all. I should for my health I know, but other than going on walks, sometimes hikes, or doing some exercises in the morning when I can I don't practice any sport.

Winter study challenge day 37 // 6th January

What is the weather like during winter in your country?

The premise should be that the weather isn't what it was a few years anymore. Sounds like old people talk, it probably is, but it's also true. It snows way less than it did when I was younger and generally it starts to get cold way to late then what is normal. This year it snowed already a couple of times which makes me very happy, we'll see how it goes.

87/100 days of productivity

Today I read and wrote notes for my contemporary history book both in the morning and in the afternoon. Other than this I journaled this morning, and after lunch I went on a walk witha friend. I also read a bit of my novel but I will actually read on in a but after I have done my daily practice of french on duolingo.

Winter study challenge day 5 // 5th December

Are you usually busy during winter?

The answer is generally yes, before with highschool and these few years with university winter means big exam sessions. Moreover my mom has a store in which I have always used to help around christmas time, even before I more properly started to work there. So yes, winter is usually pretty busy, I still try to get a few days of rest in which I don't do anything to get some energies back.

91/100 days of productivity

Today I was very productive. I did four whole lessions of my contemporary history course on the history of criminology. It was incredibly interesting. I also got time to practice french on duolingo and I did a one hour lession with the girl I'm helping with english. Before my lession with her I created another list of english words to give to her. I also finally stopped procrastinating and told my mom about my tattoo appointment for next week, and she wasn't exactly excited about it but she'll get over it. Other than that I wanted to journal but I don't know if I'll get time to do that and read a bit of my novel later.

Winter study challenge day 9// 9th December

What do you usually do during the holidays?

These past few years, since I started university, I must say my holiday routine isn't that different. I definitely get a few days for myself where I don't study or work amd I just spend time with my family and just regain a bit of energies. But other than that things don't change that much I study and work as usual. Maybe, when there's not a global pandemic going on, I see my friends a bit more since who's studying in another town comes back home and generally we have a bit more free time.

13/100 days of productivity

Today I have finally began to work on a few of the historical sources I will use to write down the assignment I have to do for my modern history seminar. It's a kind of scary job as it's basically what I will have to do for my final thesis, but it's also incredibly exciting. I love this kind of job. Today I also got a chance to go to a book store amd grab a few books to keep me company, needless to say I have already finished one of the two graphic novels I got. Today I have also :

Journaled in the morning

Finished my first draft of the short story I am writing

Updated my reading journal

Wrote down a couple of notes on the book about the history of racism I am studying

Winter study challenge day 47 // 16th January -  Scarves or sweaters? 

How dare you make me choose between the two things I love the must about winter. I can't stand picking things, but if I really have to choose I guess I'll have to say sweaters.
