- Clean your backpack and organize your books, notebooks, laptop and study materials you will be needing for the week

- Clean your pencil pouch in case you have random things that have ended up there

- Meal prep- if this is something you don’t do at all, maybe see how it works for you for a week. If you are not a meal prepper, try setting aside the food you’ll have for breakfast the next day

- Clean your bedroom and study space- this will help clear your mind. Having a clutter-free space will relax you aswell

- Update your bujo/agenda with the upcoming events of the week- also, remember to re-write any tasks that you haven’t done from the previous week

- Make a to-do-list for Monday- categorize according to priorities. Also, try starting your list with a task you know you will easily accomplish, such as “eat breakfast”, so that you are motivated to keep on crossing tasks

- Work out- maybe go for a walk to breath some fresh air and fuel your brain with oxygen, or do whatever helps you move a little bit more than what you usually do during the weekdays

- Have a set beauty routine- paint your nails if that’s what you like, apply a hair or face mask, exfoliate your skin, have a bubble bath, or do whatever you know that will relax you and set you in a good mood

- Review your goals, short, medium, and long term- if you have not written any, this is a good time. It’s always a good thing to check your accomplishments and remind yourself of your future plans. This will help motivate you and will give you an extra boost of energy for the start of the week to keep yourself focused on working on your dreams

- Check the weather for the next day and prepare the clothes, makeup, perfume, etc, that you’ll be wearing for the week- having some extra time in the morning is always nice, as you don’t end up wasting 30 minutes of your time deciding what to wear (as it has happened to me plenty of times)

- Have a tray dedicated to store all the necessary things you can’t forget before leaving your house- gather all of them, such as your keys, your wallet, a water bottle or anything you know you will be needing and place them on the tray

- Water your plants- if you don’t have a set schedule for watering your plats, Sundays are the perfect days for that

- Empty your binders, notebooks or bag from lose pieces of paper and place them where they should be- this way you’ll make sure you’re not misplacing any important information that you might need in the future

- Check your fridge and pantry, make a grocery list and go shopping- by doing this, you’ll be certain that you won’t be running out of the foods you mostly eat in the middle of the week. If your grocery shop is located at a walking distance, you can take advantage of this and use that opportunity to breath fresh air

- Finally, have some time for yourself!- watch a movie, catch up on your favourite show, watch some youtube videos, read a book, write on your journal, play your favourite instrument, have some tea, or do whatever makes you happy. Taking care of yourself will never not be a productive thing to do.

Hope you have a wonderful week!

Out of curiosity… How many of you are “underweight” for your height but still have stomach rolls?

Reblog/fav this, I wanna prove the point that literally everyone/anyone can have stomach rolls. Sick of people acting like they’re abnormal its ridiculous

I hope October will be a good month for everyone

Last time I reblogged a post with good vibes it worked, and I had a month full of awesome surprises. I really, REALLY hope and wish everyone experiences that. It’s great, and everyone deserves it.

2015; 1. Sleep earlier, rise earlier - get off your phone, set a time, create a habit. 2. Read more - and not just shitty fanfics. Read them too. But read. Read classics, read newspapers, read magazines, read fictional books, read joke books. Just read. 3. Stay away from people who do not deserve you - you are worth a lot more. Fuck their shitty opinions. 4. Eat well - and I don’t mean diet. I mean, eat well. Eat healthy, indulge every once in a while, but don’t go overboard. Eat for your health and not for society. 5. Create a plan that will be enjoyable for exercise and just do it - no fucking around this year 6. Study well - an hour every single day. Just one hour of uninterrupted, that’s all it will take. Apprendre et travail dans Francais - Je ne sais pas si ce est juste, pardon a mon francais suiveurs 7. Pamper yourself- give yourself one hour. One hour a week to unwind. To week to wash your hair, leave in your conditioner, soak your skin, have a face mask, shave your legs, light some candles, drink some tea, put on nice smelling lotion and comfy pajamas, put on some nice music and sleep well. 8. Put in an effort - doing your hair nicely, putting on that clean change of clothes and a simple coat of mascara has a lot of power to make you feel a hell of a lot better 9. Learn new VOCAB - because why the fuck not? Write down your new words that you learn while reading, use them in conversations; expand your vocab, because when you are sitting in the exam room, you’ll be glad you have. 10. Plan an outing once a week - have something to look forward to, to be excited for. Experience new things. 11. Set small goals - 3 small things to do every day, and don’t sleep till you have them done. 3x365 knowledgeable achievements will be worth it - trust me 12. Meet new people - don’t be so quick to judge. 13. Love yourself - I’m still trying to figure this one out, but I’m beginning to feel like I am worth it. 14. Art - practice makes perfect. Work, and when you can’t work, learn. Discover artists and their pieces, their inspirations, their style. Document it. There is always something to do to improve, whether it be through practice or research. 15. Stick to these goddamn goals. 2015 will be the shit if I make it.

Here’s a few steps to get some perfect straight-As!

Preview your classes: this might sound silly to some of you, but honestly it helps a lot. Try to force yourself to read through your textbook or notes that you know your teacher will be teaching the day before class, so that you can have a slight idea of what’s going to happen tomorrow. Try highlighting the texts, or, if you’re feeling in the mood, do some outlining! Trust me, you will be so much more confident in class and that will also help you to only jot down things that’s not in your textbook. Lazy people are in fact the ones who do the prep work because they want to save time in the future!

Take class notes: Having previewed your class, you’ll realise class is in fact quite fun (shocker here). When your classmates are trying so hard to copy everything down from the powerpoints, you only have to write down things that aren’t included in your notes/textbooks. And, since you should have figured out the things you didn’t understand the night before, you can pay more attention on those parts during class, or even ask your teachers about it!

Outline Notes: When you’re home after school (preferably) or during the weekend, try to combine your class notes and textbooks together and make your perfect outline notes. Do your outline notes after every class instead of waiting till your teacher finishes a chapter/section. It will help you to keep track of your classes!

Study guides: After a chapter/section, it’s good to narrow it down to a nice and simple study guide. Try to omit information that’s already in your brain from your outline notes and reorganize it into a study guide. The whole process will help you to review the knowledge once again and at the same time give yourself some good source for studying for finals.

Index cards: this should be the last step. I usualy prepare index cards when I’m studying for a test. Before the test, I will use my study guide to study, and write down key information (either some main points or parts that I can hardly remember) onto the index cards. The night before/ the morning before the test, the only thing I’m holding is my index cards. So while all your pals are holding their large pile of notes and cramming in the hallways, you can confidently walk with only some cards!

In that case, you’ve basically gone through the same knowledge five times (wow). Honestly though, it doesn’t take much time each and trust me, you’re going to benefit from it SO MUCH MORE! It’s only a matter of habit! Good luck!

How To Plan Your Week

The thing I get asked about most is planning: how to plan your week, how to manage your time, how to plan your homework, what tools to use, what pen to use, and so on. Planning is literally my favourite thing to do in the world, so I thought I’d show y’all how I go about planning my week! :) I sit down every Sunday to plan.

Step 1: Get out my planner Planners really don’t have to be expensive: the point of getting one is so that you can keep everything in there instead of in your brain. You can usually get them quite cheap; just get one you like the look of! As I’ve gotten older, I’ve become more finicky about what kind of planner I like; I’m currently using an Erin Condren Life Planner, which costs about an arm and a leg, but it’s really quite pretty and it’s really worked wonders for me in terms of productivity. If you’re interested, here’s a link to get $10 off your first purchase! My favourite pen is a blue Pilot G2 gel pen with a 0.7mm point. They’re available on Amazon here.

Step 2: See what I have going on that week At the beginning of the school year, I note down all deadlines, holidays, birthdays, and other social commitments (like weddings) in my planner using Post-It notes. A blank week in my planner looks like this:

As you can see, each day has three boxes, which go down vertically down the page. My planner tells me two things: it’s Liam’s birthday on the 10th and I need to contact my wedding photographer. I’ve been invited to eat at my mother-in-law’s home on Sunday, so I need to contact her this week too as it dictates whether or not I have to cook that day! Anyway, the point is that what I need to do is already in for that week; it’s on a sticky note! Super easy. 

I also do something called meal-planning, which means I plan what kind of meals we have about a week in advance. It’s really good when you’re trying to be budget-conscious, and a post about it is coming up!

Step 3: Write down my weekly goals Every Sunday, I sit down and decide what I want to achieve that week, usually based on my yearly goals. Like many of you, I fulfill different activities and roles in my life, and each of role requires something else: I’m a student, a wife, a daughter, a blogger, etc. I’ll write up a more detailed post about that! ♥

So I draw up a list of what I want to achieve. Once the list has been drawn up, I copy them down on the left-hand side in my ‘sidebar’, like so:

Step 4: Plan my week So now what I need to do is written down and all that’s left to do is plan my week! What that means is that I look at each day, decide on how much time I have that day to work on the things I want to accomplish, and write it down! 

I like to plan “top-heavy” weeks, i.e. as the week usually gets a lot busier towards the end, I try to achieve most of my goals on Monday-Wednesday. I also plan that way: when I sit down on Sunday, I plan for Sunday-Wednesday, and on Wednesday, I plan the rest of the week. That’s what works best for me. Here’s how my week is currently laid out:

Step 5: Get to work! Now that everything’s planned, I get to work doing everything I want and need to do! When I don’t get to something on a certain day, I put a diagonal stripe in the box and copy the task down on another day. I make a to-do list every evening by looking at my planner, so that I know how what I’m meant to do that day - it’s really helped me! If you’d like to see more pictures of my weekly spreads in my planner, you can check out my personal Instagram, @sarahboparah ♥

Hope this helps! xxx

Web apps

Hey guys! I usually don’t make posts, but here it goes. This is a list of apps and extensions that you can use on your computer to improve your productivity and make your job easier during the day. I use most of them and they make my life so much better! Enjoy.

Google Docs (there are Sheets, Slides and Forms too!)

These are Google free platforms for those who don’t have Microsoft Office available.

Most Office functions are available, the design is practical and efficient.

You can save save your document as Doc., Pdf. or other formats.

Through google accounts, other people can view or edit your document.

Your documents are saved automatically, which saves a lot of work.

You can access your documents on mobile also.

You can save offline.

Strict workflow (Chrome)

Using the Pomodoro technique, this extension let you choose a list of sites in which there will be blocks of 25 min, with 5 min of interval to access them (you can change this amount of time too).

You can also set the display of notifications and the ringing of an alarm when the time is finished.

Clearly (Chrome/Firefox)

This extension helps a lot who does a lot of research in websites.  

This app organizes the websites, eliminating distractions (such as ads and bad formatting that makes you lose the focus).

You can HIGHLIGHT text! What is highlighted is saved to your Evernote for you read whenever you want, just the parts of the text you selected.

You can customize the view of the text (background, font, size of the font) to make it easier for you.

Momentum (Chrome)

I think everyone on Tumblr is already familiar with this extension.

In my opinion, this one is more for aesthetic purposes.

It will show a landscape, the time, and give you a customized hello!

You can also add a short list of things to do.

It helps eliminate distractions, since it don’t let your browser to show the most visited sites (Facebook type and tumblr) and reminds you that yes, you have tasks on your list.

Lanes (Chrome)

My personal favourite!

It doesn’t only show a beautiful landscape and the time of the day with a customized hello (like Momentum), but let you create a much more complete list of tasks, with the following days!!!!

You can also activate a pomodoro timer that will synchronize with your list!!!!!

Is possible change the background and connect with Soundcloud.

Pocket (Chrome/Firefox)

This app let you save the links you wanna see later. Like when you need to finish homework but find a very interesting about the reproduction of black and white lobsters from UK. 

You can add a button in your Chrome to make easier save the links.

You can access your links in mobile too! Even offline!

OBS.: I apologize for any mistakes in my english. Is not my first language, but I try hard hahaahah, thanks for reading ^~^
