days of productivity [60/100]

I’m not that statisfied with how my exam went today, but I’ll see the result in a few weeks. After school i was just exhausted and took a short nap before reading a little. Later I did some homework and studied for my exams next week before watching some Netflix and reading again. I’m going to go to bed now and get up early tomorrow

Most people I know had that one movie as a kid; that one movie that they would watch over and over and over to the resigned acceptance of their parents. I’ve always thought that movie says something about a person. What was your movie?

a small reminder, for those who need it ⭐

10.29.2017 || sunshine themed spread 🌞 i hope everyone’s having a good day so far :)

ya know what I want to see more of in the study/bujo community

I want to see more dark photos.

I want to see more photos with diverse, colourful, and interesting backgrounds.

I want to see more notes written in ballpoint

I want to see more of the rushed bujo pages made because you didn’t have time to do it but didn’t want to have that week missing from your journal

I want to see more in-class notes, the notes you took before you re-wrote them to make them “post worthy”

I want to see more messy desks. The aftermatch of journaling and studying

I want to see more wooden desks, more desks that aren’t white, more desks covered in coffee rings and paint splats

I want to see more on the fly photos

And I’m not writing this because I want to support “small accounts” or “poor study accounts” I want to see it because I’m sick of every single post looking the same as the one I saw last. I’m tired of accounts with amazing content not getting the growth they deserve because their photos aren’t overexposed on white desks. I want to see it because it stands out, it’s different, and I like it.

So many accounts quit before they even get started because of the precedent that you have to have expensive stationery and stark white photos to grow and make an impact. Because they don’t feel they can live up to the expectations of the community. And that makes me really sad.

what is the january mood?

listen i’m not one for believing in the universe giving signs but… the first full moon of the year being on the first day of the year which is also a monday… sounds like a good opportunity to focus on rebirth, new beginnings, and personal growth and improvement

2018 is the year of the dog so I’m out here gently begging 2018 to please, please be a good dog

how to avoid education burnout

shout out to people on tumblr with no squads or group chats with weird names or people who just don’t get messages. the internet is a strange place i hope you can all still enjoy yourselves & if not u are not alone!

and you know what, shout out to people who don’t have any good friends irl either. i know it seems lonely right now but it won’t be forever there is a friend out there for you! i believe in you!

U have no idea of how much I needed this.

tag urself as a student

i.d.g.a.f:  goes to school unbothered, doesn’t give a shit about makeup or looking nice, constantly has a water bottle filled, when they’re not taking notes they’re sleeping in class, goes home and actually studies/does homework, bottles up emotions, wants to travel

covfefe: lives their life on coffee and tea, always participates in class discussions, likes to observe, challenges themselves sometimes a little too much, needs more sleep, always trying to make plans to fill up their schedule, likes aesthetics

netflix & procrastinate: honestly wants to do well, gets distracted easily, when they’re focused they get shit done, pulls lots of all nighters, tells everyone ‘im fine’ when not fine, accidentally skips breakfast, loves their friends, gets anxiety over tests and quizzes

pastel: is always organized, loves to journal, actually listens to the teacher, people think they’re always super sweet, wants to visit japan, loves animals, does research for fun, looks over work 948208 times before turning it in, watches horror movies and then regrets it

complaint department: acts like they didn’t have enough time to do homework (they did), blames others for their problems, doesn’t study then cry when they get a bad grade, secretly is very insecure, is always out “sick”, acts better than others for no reason sometimes

chilly child: is very relaxed but knows how to work, is nice to their teachers, tries to avoid half-assing things, loves autumn, likes studying with other people, is very self motivating, tries not to focus on the letter grade but rather how hard they worked, and tbh they’re just tryna enjoy life, 

Favorite art I made in 2017

This year has been very rewarding, I’ve grown a lot as an artist, even if I feel stagnant. I’m so proud of everything I’ve accomplished so far! I’m going to try to focus a lot more on my art is 2018, so hopefully it’ll be a great year of growth!

bad study habits to leave in 2017

cramming the night before. do a little every day and get a good night sleep before the test

procrastinating. promise yourself you’ll do 5 minutes of a task you’ve been putting off for a while. you’ll be surprised how quickly that 5 minutes turns into 10 and 10 into an hour and before you know it you’ll be done and able to enjoy guilt-free leisure time

not asking for help. make the most of your teachers and classmates who want you to succeed. don’t suffer in silence

saying yes to everything. it’s important to try new things but it’s also important to have enough spare time to see your friends and get enough sleep

being distracted. turn off the tv. turn off your phone. focus on studying so you can get your assignments done as efficiently as possible so you can enjoy your free time

not having a planner. this doesn’t have to be a beautiful bullet journal. just make sure you have a way of keeping on top of everything you have to do so you don’t get overwhelmed whether that’s in a store-bought diary or in you phone’s calendar

eating (too much) junk. fuel your body and your mind with fruit and veg. if you’re at university try cooking in bulk to keep costs down. you’ll be able to concentrate better if you’re eating well

not taking breaks. your brain needs to take breaks, even if you have a big test coming up. for every hour you spend studying take a 10 minute break and stretch/make a snack/take a shower/call a friend 

not rewarding yourself. take time to be proud of everything you’ve achieved so far. enjoy the success you’ve worked so hard for

[10.29.17] 47/100 days of productivity 

This is one of my favorite bullet journal spreads I’ve done so far! It’s lovely to have such a detailed record of my life. 

I’m not always “productive” (as you can see, I didn’t complete a single one of my tasks yesterday), but that’s okay! Rest days are so important for physical and mental health!
