Quarantine tips for students
🎒 Treat it like you’re actually going to classes.
Take a shower. Get dressed. Don’t just roll out of bed into Zoom. It’ll put you in the correct mindset to get some work done.
☀️ Use this time as a chance to operate based on your natural energy cycles.
Work when you’re most productive. Rest when you aren’t. (Unless you have non-recorded, scheduled classes/meetings.)
⏰ Create a routine.
You’ll get used to doing the things you do and you won’t need as much motivation to get them done each time.
🎯 Set daily goals
You’ll have an idea of where you’re headed and how much you have to do for the day.
🏡 Establish boundaries by creating a separate space for doing work.
Keep coming to this space when you have to do work and don’t allow any distractions there - this will train your brain to focus.
☎️ Stay in touch with people.
Avoid feeling isolated by calling your friends, spending time with your family, roommates, etc. Social support can help reduce stress.
🎨 Keep your spirits up by spending time on your hobbies, exercising, doing something creative etc.
Coloring, doing yoga, and playing music/singing/listening to music have been shown to improve mental health.
📚 Exercise your brain
by learning a new skill you’ve always wanted to learn, reading a book on your TBR, listening to podcasts, etc.
🌿 Spend some time every day in nature,
whether it’s going out into your backyard or balcony or just opening a window.
😷 Take care of yourself by getting enough sleep, eating properly, etc.
This will make you better equipped to fight diseases, and you’ll feel better in general.
day 3/30
sorry this is late, i meant to post this last night but i forgot
what’s your favorite spot to study (outside of your usual study space)?
my favorite spot to study is probably a library. i definitely find it easier to stay focused on my work when i'm on campus. my usual form of procrastination is youtube, but i'm too self conscious to watch youtube videos in public. i don't mind coffee shops because of the nice ambience but i think i focus better in libraries with fewer distractions. i'm looking forward to actually being able to study in libraries again once this whole quarantine is over.
yesterday i...
finished my second calc hw (like 30 problems that i did over the course of 2.5ish hours. huge grind but at least i'm done now)
cleaned the pile of stuff in front of my bookshelf (my bookshelf be looking nice af now)
practiced french on duolingo
participated in an online discussion about sleep for my psych class
finished watching the calc lecture video that i started the day before
26 March 2020
trying to establish new routines now during social distancing and working from home.
day 2/30
do you prefer to study alone or with friends?
when i have to do reading or i need to write papers for a class, i like to do that alone. i definitely like doing more problem-solving based hw (math, physics, other sciences) with friends though. usually i like it best when we all are working on problems quietly on our own but we are all working at the same time so we can ask for help easily if necessary.
today i...
cleaned my bookshelf (sorted through a bunch of old books to give to my sister / donate)
caught up on some calc notes (photo above)
did a few calc hw problems
started watching my calculus lecture
watched my algorithms lecture
day 1/30
i'm going to try doing this april study challenge by @nerdinaomi this month. i haven't had the motivation to go on studyblr in a while but i really want to get back into it so hopefully this well help me post. i'll be answering the daily question as well as giving an overall recap of what i did each day.
how do you stay motivated?
i stay motivated by using notion to keep track of all my course information / deadlines and using todoist to break that down into what i do each day. i find it difficult to use paper planners so this digital system works really well for me. i also recently completely cleaned and reorganized my workspace (sneak peek above) which has helped motivate me a lot more to do work, especially with the slump i've been feeling with online courses. it really helps to have a designated place to do work that isn't just my bed.
today i...
met with my adviser on zoom
practiced french on duolingo
started reading chapter 1 of my psychology textbook
finished my calc hw
watched my algorithms lecture
29.11.2017 // I woke up early this morning, after crashing out in bed before 10pm! I’m feeling well rested, and am starting the day working in my college’s new café.
