I am deciding to start my studyblr back up today, I think it will really help me improve my studying routine as well as keeping my study place nice and tidy. School is still hectic, but I think it will be helpful to actually have a place to show off my work. I am going to do the whole 100 days of studying routine because I think that would be a fun challenge!
Todayâs work: Bio notes, and a lot of other assigned class work.Â
Proud to say 1/100 days of the challenge!

Short Hiatus
Not that I have a large following, but school has been really stressful lately. But no fret, I will be posting shortly again. If you have seen my last post, that was really something that I had to share. But, I hope to make this last!Â
James Baldwin
Recently I have been assigned some of his work for my English class right now and his words just have powerful resonance. Words that carry meaning and soul that carry to this day. His work brings up the life and fight that African Americans face till this day. Such a wonderful spirit.
With that being said, it has come to my attention that Black Lives Matter was just a phase for most. I urge you to read and obtain these stories that Black citizens have wrote about their lives in present and past America.
 Black Lives still and will forever matter.Â
Study Tips From the Number 1 Procrastinator
Given the present day situation with the pandemic going on, I have felt a break in my motivation towards school. Long hours spent on computer screens, making sure to make it on Google meets on time, turning in all assignments. The list could go on! So I have decided to put some tips that I have learned that I have really sparked my motivation back up!
Limiting Distractions
Yes, I have seen numerous posts like these saying âtake your phone and throw it in the trashâ or âstop watching cafe videos while you should be doing a math assignmentâ. But limiting distractions, especially for someone with focusing issues, is key! Your friends can wait, go get them Aâs!
Apps that Help with this Issue:
Forest
App that allows you to set your own allotted study time in 5 min increments
The more time you spend studying/focusing, you are awarded with points that allow you to buy cute plants! (Trust me, itâs addicting)
Includes study music
Free on desktop and I believe 1.99 for mobile (may be less, but definitely not more)
Finding Motivation Within
Sounds very âopen your third eyeâ, but it really does help you buckle down and do what you need to do. The key here is to find what you personally are putting in this effort for. Maybe itâs to go to your dream college, or one up someone who says you canât do it, any reason for motivation is valid! If you are reading this to gain tips, you have motivation within somewhere! Find that source and bring it to the surface and you can get yourself going again.
Breaks!
I cannot emphasize this enough, take breaks! Your brain is a muscle, overstraining it everyday will not lead to growth, it will lead to pain. Especially during these hard times with the pandemic, take some time for yourself and allow rest. Yes, studying is great, but you are more important. Doing all nighters will do nothing but cause gigantic eye bags.Â
and finally...
Organize, organize, organize!
I recall the days of me scavenging through my notes and papers trying to find that one important misplaced one. Organizing your notes, and basically your stationary/ study space will save you the headache of finding lost items and the sight of a cluttered study area. Keeping yourself in control is key, if you feel yourself start falling underneath a building of work, take the time to organize and make yourself the master of your studying. A clear space will allow a clear mind, trust me.
Thatâs all I have for now, stay safe and have a nice day/night! :)
Learning Languages
Somehow on my miraculous journey I stumbled upon coding and it has been a really big influence on me. However, I currently know HTML and a bit of Python. I have been advised to learn Java as it is âin the marketâ, plus it seems like a nice language to learn (I hope). Anyways, I was wondering if anyone in the community had any tips to share as I begin the route down Java.Â

finishing up a lot of things todayÂ
I ended up studying well over 3 hours today reviewing macroeconomics, finishing up notes for both biology and HOA and now I am content. It was a lot yes, but my brain didnât feel the same as yesterday. I feel like reflecting on my self-discipline yesterday helped a lot.Â
Side note, my handwriting during lectures and in general is atrocious LOL. But, I get to go to sleep at a reasonable time today!
MOTIVATION VS SELF-DISCIPLINE
When studying, most people try to find motivation thinking that this will get them through their study session, or they will see their failure as a result of a lack of motivation. But motivation isnât always what we need - what do you do on the days you have no motivation? This is why we need self-discipline.
MOTIVATION VS SELF DISCIPLINE
Motivation - a willingness to do something. It is the set of psychological forces that compel you to take action. A goal or reward that you look forward to that will encourage you to study - while this is useful, what happens on a day when you just donât feel like studying?
Self-Discipline - making yourself do things you know you should do when you donât want to. Being trained to routinely study regardless of how unmotivated you are - this is what will get you out of bed on a day you donât feel like studying.
So if motivation is âwhy we should do somethingâ - self-discipline is more âwhat to do nextâ.
HOW TO BE SELF-DISCIPLINED
Make a commitment with yourself that you will make studying as your habit. This is super important. Commit yourself to make this as your new habit. Donât half-ass any of these suggestions or any other suggestions that other people give. Donât give yourself silly, illegitimate excuses in the process. For this, you can do it by remind yourself on what your long-term goals in life are. Or if they donât sound rewarding enough, remind yourself what failure feels like/ could feel like.
Set yourself a routine and stick to it
Never have a zero day - try and study every single day - even if you feel absolutely awful - 10 minutes is better than nothing!! Do flashcards from your bed or watch youtube ted talks if you canât physically study. This will help help develop a routine and make it easier for you to cope. Also, by studying everyday your brain will know that the content you are learning should be stored as long-term information so this will benefit you in the long run!
Avoid long breaks. Unless you know that taking an hour long break means only an hour, then you can ignore this. But fo the majority of us, once weâve taken a while out of studying it can be hard to get back into it again. One minute youâre taking a 20 minute break for a snack and some phone time and the next thing you know youâre on Youtube and four hours have passed! To avoid this, try stick to shorter breaks - five or ten minutes for a snack break, toilet break and to check any phone messages. A good method to try for this is the Pomodoro Method!
Build on your productivity, not your failures.
If you come from a past of procrastinating and now feel motivated to change and discipline yourself, do NOT try to do everything at once. Start things slow and in steps.
Set yourself smaller deadlines for your goals like monthly and weekly deadlines - e.g. if you are doing a project, due 27th June, set personal deadlines, like have the introduction written by the 8th, have your literature review written by the 15th, have project complete by the 25th.Â
Break down the things that you must do into smaller, concrete activities and put those smaller activities in that to-do list; allocate specific time periods to do each smaller activities and put it the to-do list as well; set an alarm reminder for each smaller activities. Say you have to study for English on Tuesday, because for whatever reasons you just decided to dedicate your time this Tuesday to study English. However, Iâd suggest that you break down that specific activity (or âdaily goalâ) before putting it in your to-do list. So, instead of just putting âstudy for Physicsâ, try putting âread and highlight Chapter 9âł, because putting very general/broad activity like âstudy Englishâ can actually make you too confused on where and how to start doing it, and make you very prone to distractions in the process.Â
Know your limits. Self-discipline isnât doing as much as you can until you break - itâs about having control, knowing what you can realistically manage and getting that done.
Give yourself rewards! I love to have something to look forward to as I get work done! This means mixing motivation and self-discipline. I tell myself after this lecture I can have an animal crossing break or check some messages etc.Â
Track your progress â donât forget to put a checklist on your to-do list after accomplishing a task. It would relieve your stress a bit and motivate you to continue doing the remaining activities on your to-do list.Â
Remove distractions from your study space! Personally, if my phone is out and I notice a notificationâŚIâm gonna check it. Itâs human nature! So to combat this, I use apps like Forest that force me to stay within the app while I study. If I know I might get hungry during a study session Iâll keep a little snack by my desk so I donât have to get up and somehow find something else to distract me.
Just do it isnât that easy. I find to get myself in a âwork bossâ mood I need to feel good about myself so I put on a nice outfit and maybe some eyeliner and hype myself up so I know I can do my tasks and get stuff done! It feels so much better than lazing in my pyjamas trying to study.
Be patient. Itâs going to be a rough journey, itâs going to be hard but youâve got this! Take it one step at a time. Start off by completing one task a day, then move to two, then three, and the next thing you know, youâll have a regular routine where you will constantly be ticking off your to-do list everyday! But remember to be kind to yourself, know when your body is not in the right state of health to study and donât force it. Only force yourself to a limit, youâll know when to stop and thatâs okay. Just try again when you feel better! Your health is much more important!
Saving this for later đ
Time Management & Distraction
Lately I have been noticing a decline in my ability to focus while trying to study and do work. My brain just cannot settle down for more than 10 minutes without it drifting off to random things. It isnât even a distraction from my phone/friends it could literally be the TV on in the next room or even a small noise that throws off my entire routine!
I have no idea the cause, but it really irritates me. Sometimes I put it off as me being lazy but lately it has been driving me crazy. My friends tell me about how they pull off these crazy 5 hour study sessions where they do not do anything but work, but to me that would be literally impossible.Â
Another thing that stems from this issue is time management. Due to me losing interest in what I am doing, I constantly have to set things off to another time which leads me to doing everything last minute. Itâs really frustrating because I know I do it, yet I cannot stop it!
I have no idea what to do, but it really has been bothering me. :/
finishing up work
I stayed up until like 12:30 tonight finishing some stuff up that I didnât get done. Honestly, I need to be more productive in the daytime, but my brain cannot just sit in the same place and focus. I just need like constant stimulation or I cannot do ANYTHING.Â
The last pic is of wat I use to plan my week/month through google calendar. I designated colors for each class that I have and make sure to double check that I got the dates right, because I somehow do that.Â
Anyways, I finished up biology notes and corrections and am halfway through with HOA notes. Not my best productive day, but then again my family and I had another thanksgiving because my mom works at the hospital and couldnât make it that day.Â
Tomorrow I hope for a more productive day!
taking notes for history
i donât have the most âaestheticâ stationary, but I want to which is the worse part. I know that stationary will not define your studying, but muji pens look so good.
Recently I switched to virtual, because I made the dumb choice of doing in-person, and it has been an experience. I feel like I can survive as long as I donât get too distracted, but so far it has been great! At time the teachers seem to primarily focus on in-person, but again it is kind of difficult.Â
In the end, reading about railroads is pretty boring :/

Introduction!
Hello, my name is Clarissa and I am starting a study blog! Studying and school life has been a central part of my life for a while now, and I think it would be great to share that with the community for inspiration or just for the aesthetics.Â
I am currently doing the IB diploma route in high school, hoping to major in computer science. ANY tips or advice to go along with my posts is greatly appreciated!Â
My intentions for this blog is to spread my study habits out (which will probably make them even more avid) and to develop a habit that will last until college.
Thank you for taking your time if you did read this!
Clarissa :D
