10.10.2018 study session with my sister
24/04/20 ⢠spent today editing the body of my paper to make it more cohesive before I write my last two subchapters tomorrow (Iâm so close to the finish line!)
Here are some suggestions for you to do to relax! I hope u have a nice day x
How to remain productive with online classes:
A few tips from a broke neuro-divergent academic
Try and wake up early, and go to bed early too. Iâm not saying get up at 5 (unless thatâs youâre thing) but sleeping into noon is a productivity blackhole. I go for 8 or 8:30, generally, but thatâs just what works for me.
Get dressed for the day. Iâm not talking like, jeans and a business casual outfit, but a clean pair of sweatpants, fresh underwear, and a new shirt can really put you in the mood for a new morning.
Have a workspace. Whether it be the kitchen table, a desk, a spot on the floor with a lap desk, have a place thatâs dedicated to your work. Have items that signify that workspace too, like your book, planner, laptop, lamp, whatever. It can help you get into the zone, being in that space.
Have a morning drink. I choose earl grey tea with honey and cream, but black coffee, herbal tea, lemon water, whatever works for you is awesome, as long as itll wake you up and start your day.
To do lists. To do lists and to do lists and more to do lists. I have three. One is a post it weekly planner deal (3.99 at a local grocery store). itâs a weekly spread already set up, and if youâre anything like me, its really hard to set up a weekly spread. Then I have an app called Ike. I have a daily to do list I write on that app, and then I have four more to-do lists of what I have to for each specific class.
Spread out your assignments. Donât overwhelm yourself. If youâre professors are like mine, and have the due date for each module as Sunday at midnight. What I do is spread out all my assignments from Monday to Saturday, and I leave Sunday blank, so anything I didnât do that week, I finish on Sunday. It works for me, it might work for you.
Have a folder for each class, and a notebook for each class. I hate spending money, Iâm broke as hell, sono al verde as the Italians say, but a 0.99 cent folder and a 0.25 cent notebook can do wonders for motivating one to fill them up.
Study with a drink. Tea, water, coffee, whatever, but my go to is generally a warm drink. I cannot study if Iâm cold, I get tired and groggy, so warm socks, a robe, and a hot drink really keep me going.
Take breaks. Make time for your hobbies, for something fun. Working without stopping absolutely destroys my motivation, and let me tell you, when I feel like that, an episode of Avatar and a snack gets me right back on the wagon.
Do self check ins. Does your back hurt? Are you sad? Stressed? Do you have to pee? Are you hungry? Never put your homework over your health. You wonât be able to get anything done well anyway if youâve got those blocks.
Most importantly, get enough sleep. I beg of you. Sleep is so important, and itâs the game changer, at least to me. We as students have such an amazing opportunity to get more sleep than we ever have before during the year. Take advantage of that.
student self-care: but not necessarily the feel-good kind edition
1. what have you been procrastinating on? afraid to do? make a list. put it on your google calendar. be very honest with yourself. put every single task you have to do, schedule it, block out your calendar if you have to. itâll help you in the long run even if itâs scary at first. 2. sort the loose papers settled at the bottom of your backpack. donât risk losing precious class notes or syllabi or readings. use folders to classify them by subject. label them clearly. sort them by chronological order and label what class and what part of the syllabus theyâre from. youâll thank me during exam season. 3. evaluate your finances. have a way of keeping track of them. personally, i tend to spend a lot on food and coffee when iâm stressed. make a budget and stick to it. 4. if youâre struggling in a certain subject, make some time for it. i know itâs painful and easier to procrastinate, but make time. set a certain quota of pages to read. email your professor for help and consult if you have to.Â
5. eating healthy isnât necessarily eating delicious. i know everyone posts their croissants and lattes and cakes (guilty) but eat that salad, eat your vegetables, eat a balanced diet. itâs brain food and itâll sustain you and help you focus better. 6. take the time to really care for yourself. make it a routine. take daily walks, count the glasses of water you have, make sure to shower regularly. do your laundry and clean your room. take your medication regularly, schedule doctorâs appointments if you need to. your health is much more important than school, and your wellbeing will help your performance. 7. sleep is good. regular sleep is good and necessary. but know when you have to sacrifice a little sleep to get things some very hard things done. then sleep after. self-care isnât always pretty. sometimes itâs about being disciplined and confronting what youâre afraid of. but it will make things easier and lighter for you in the long run. just one day at a time.Â
addendum: mostly a nap helps nowadays during quarantine and though u may feel guilty at first the focus and peace u feel upon waking up well-rested is unreal.
alsoâ i would summarize this as: do the things you know u need to do even if it feels tedious or difficult. it will be better and kinder for you in the long run.
