where i write my dreams

(and how optimistic i used to be)

⭐️if you put your bed-sheets in the wash then you’re forced to be productive on your desk for a couple of hours. (Who wants to chill on a bare mattress anyways? And obviously don’t put in new sheets, just wait till the ones you put in the wash are dry)

⭐️you’d be surprised how much more awake you can feel when you just get up and walk around the house for a bit 

⭐️a sip of cold water never fails to make me feel more awake

⭐️if you feel super unproductive and guilty but can’t bring yourself to do work and study then start by cleaning ! You can see the difference almost immediately, it doesn’t take long, and once you accomplish something (and you can immediately visually see the difference) you will be more inclined to keep going! 

⭐️handwriting your list - it’s very satisfying to use a pencil to cross out tasks one by one

⭐️minimising your need to do work on your laptop or phone (printing sheets if you have a printer, using a textbook instead of online notes or videos if you can) will get you on track.

⭐️change little things in your routine, for example, start/stop listening to music when you work, change your study area (move your desk to another corner), 

⭐️wear fancy-ish clothes like your uniform or going out clothes, anything you want really! just get out of pyjamas, even if they’re fresh, clean ones.

⭐️studying with a friend on skype may help, talk through problems together or if you don’t take the same classes just having someone watch you do work and call you out once they see u be unproductive can help. you can always mute the call and still be productive.

⭐️try not to do work while lying down or on your bed

⭐️be mindful of how long you’re spending on tasks - use apps and stopwatches and google chrome extensions

⭐️keep your homes clean! and put stuff away and do stuff immediately - don’t think too much, just do it.

these help me a lot, hope it helps you!
