tuesday, may 28, 2024 | day 1/100 | ♡.°୭̥ ୨୧

intro:

✿ today, I've decided to take on the 100-day productivity challenge. What I want to achieve from this challenge is to gain habits and learn more about myself.

✿ my main goals are losing weight, growing spiritually, my academics, work, and focusing on my mental health.

✿ I’m going to start/continue with habits like 30 minutes of movement, 10 minutes of journaling, and starting my day with God, and I'll continue from there. These are today's stats.

achievements:

✿ french duolingo

✿ swept like the whole house, but after that, I spent so much time on social media

✿ life revision (reset my notion homepage, organized my travel planner, and revised my finance page and wishlist) - did this yesterday, though

habit tracking:

reflection:

✿ I'm getting a little lost with my life currently I can't really tell what I'm working towards I mean I have all these goals but at the end of if all if I achieve them will I be happy or content will I want more, will I just continue searching for something quell the hunger for peace like should I just pause or continue idk which will make me feel better

notes:

✿ day one of cleaning, tomorrow I have to massacre that toilet - in like i'm gonna make it sparking way

✿ a lot of my downtime today was spent watching tiktok and ig Reels, and doing that always makes me feel down - also, I need a good journal

4/100 Days of Productivity~ 10/16/17 I bought myself a 0.38 pen, and now somehow my writing is even less legible. At least I feel competent with the content we went through during Experimental Psychology today. I also got a good chunk of work done on my Sports Business paper and got my advising done for my last semester of undergrad.

5/100 Days of Productivity~ 10/17/17

No picture available today, but I got a large chunk of my psych research done today and cleaned my room. I've been struggling to get work done today, but I'm happy enough that I managed to eat two full meals and not fall asleep in bio.

6/100 Days of Productivity~ 10/18/17 My Coaching minor requires a sports business class. Fun fact: I know absolutely nothing about business. Today he brought up Maslow and I nearly squealed in delight; it was finally a concept I knew something about. Later tonight I have to present a speech for the incoming group of accepted women in the leadership development program. Wish me luck!

7/100 Days of Productivity~ 10/19/17 I learned how to make this watercolor effect for my notes and bullet journal! It’s been one of those ‘meh’ days. I made an effort to get my oil changed and found out that the nearest jiffy lube that has the oil filter I need is an hour and a half away. I consider it productive because I got out and made the effort, despite failing.

Every year I find that the mid-semester is when my personal productivity is at an all time low. Motivation plummets as the workload for classes increases and professors are starting to cram in assignments before the end of the semester. It is stressful and can make or break your semester.

Here are some tips to get you through this difficult time!

-Maintain any previous study schedules you have been using this semester. Mid-semester is when these plans start to fall apart; students get lax with their schedules and then suddenly you are two weeks behind on your readings. Fight through the desire to push your rigid schedule aside and power through. IF YOU HAVE ALREADY BEGUN TO IGNORE YOUR STUDY ROUTINE- don’t panic. My best advice is to make a revised schedule before you truly fall behind and recruit a friend to hold you to it. Friends are great at holding you accountable if you think you can’t keep on top of it.

-Go to the library. Seriously, the library is a wonderful place that will make you feel productive if you are feeling lethargic. When everyone around you is working hard it kick-starts your motivation.

-Maximize your work during periods of motivation. Sometimes you just get short bursts of motivation where you can sit and do work for hours- make sure you jump on these whims and accomplish whatever you can. Similar to these motivated moments, there are also times where you can’t get yourself to sit down and work no matter how hard you try. By maximizing your productivity when you’re motivated, you can balance out these periods of inactivity.

-Have an emergency plan in case everything goes down the drain. It’s always best to be prepared for the worst case scenario. If your mental health takes a significant and rapid blow, have a plan of what you will do to keep yourself semi-functional. Maybe you have to alter your work schedule to working for five minutes with a thirty minute coloring break. Maybe you have a brand new set of highlighters to open if you cannot force yourself to read that twenty page articles.It is always important to have an emergency plan because little spurts of work is better than not working at all.

-Get some fresh air. Getting away from your desk is a good way to refresh for a few minutes, and getting outside gets your blood flowing and can help energize you. Sometimes I like to just walk around the block and look at the beautiful sights of nature around me (it sounds cheesy, but it gets me out of my head to appreciate the world for a moment).

-Work Hard/Break Hard. When you are working, do not let yourself lose momentum and and stray over to social media. When you take your scheduled breaks, do not let your mind linger on your schoolwork. You worked hard for that break and need to fully enjoy it. If you continue to think about work, you will not feel as refreshed when your return from your break.

-Stay off Netflix. Please, just trust me.

-Join a network of motivators (i.e. the amazing studyblr community). Sometimes the best motivation comes through the support of others. Everyone here in the studyblr community is/has gone through this mid-semester slump, and they are the best people to talk to if looking for advice (or even just a friend to relate to).

I hope at least one of these can help you get through this difficult point of the semester!!
