The 100 Days of Productivity Challenge with EmmaStudies!

Productivity challenges are a fun way to help boost your motivation to get things done! ‘100 days of productivity’ is one of the most popular challenges when it comes to Tumblr and Instagram. As I am planning to start the challenge, I thought it would be a great opportunity to get more people involved! So, where do we start?

What is ‘100 days of productivity’? To put it simply, the challenge is to do something productive for 100 days. It comes from the idea that each day, we can do at least 1 thing that pushes us forward. The challenge is meant to improve your sense of accomplishment and show that with a bit of motivation, you can get things done!

What classifies as productive? This is entirely up to you and what you feel is worth recognition. Whilst the majority of study blogs do something study related each day that isn’t a set rule. Some examples could be:

studying for an accumulative time of 2 hours a day

decluttering your desk and study space

finishing all your homework

drafting an assessment you’ve been procrastinating on

organising your files

sorting through your emails and implementing a filter system

backing up computer files and phone

organising your monthly plan

going to study or read at the library

finishing a book you’ve been meaning to read

setting up a file organisation structure on your computer

creating a resume and cover letter

applying for jobs, internships, work experience

spring cleaning your bedroom and study space

organising your bookshelf

unsubscribing from spam emails

collecting account emails and passwords

sorting out your expenses and budgets

deactivating unused social media/email/etc accounts

Obviously, this list has just a few options. You can do anything which you find achieves a positive and organised result! Even if you do something small, you can count that :-)

Does it have to be consecutive days? It can be, but there isn’t a rule. Most people attempt to do consecutive days but that isn’t always possible. Doing something productive one day after another is great for building your self-discipline, however, you can skip days if need be. If you do, don’t feel bad! Remember to bounce back and continue the next day.

Who can join? Do I need to have a studyblr/studygram? It is open to anyone! There are no requirements for joining. You don’t need to have a studyblr or studygram! If you’re looking for a fun way to motivate yourself with the backing of other people, this is a great challenge to be a part of. 

When do I start? Absolutely whenever you want. Could be the start of a month, the start of your school term or for the new year. For this which I’m setting up as a collective challenge, I am planning to start on Monday 9th October. For anyone who has seen this post before then, you are more than welcome to start the same day! But if you see this afterwards, you can still join and be a part of it - but you’ll just be a few days behind, but that is not a problem! :-)

How do I track document my productivity? Most people document their journey through Tumblr or Instagram by posting a photo each day (or every few days). I will be doing this! I will be tagging my posts with #emma100dop which you should too. This way I can see your photos and reblog them too!! As a challenge which I am hoping lots of people can get involved in, having a specific hashtag is great for motivation.

Similarly, it is worth tracking your days on paper. I have created a printable set which you can download for documenting each day’s work. *Download link here!*

Do I have to share pictures? If you don’t want to, you don’t have to share. For studyblr and studygram accounts this is a good idea because you’re uploading original content but if you don’t have a study account, you don’t need to upload any. You can still document your progress with photos and make a gallery on your phone if you want. As mentioned above, I have a printable which you can download for free to track your progress. If you don’t want to take pictures, you can just cross off or write down what you did that day! 

I am really excited to start this challenge with you guys! :-) I think doing it as a collective group is a fantastic idea in terms of boosting and maintaining motivation through the whole challenge. With lots of accountability partners, we should all hopefully manage 100 days! Best of luck! Remember to tag me in your pictures on Tumblr and Instagram!! x

Isn’t Montparnasse described as an Abel turned into Cain in the brick?? Angel Montparnasse, corrupted by the vices he experienced on Earth, growing vain, prideful and greedy, seeking an hedonist’s life on earth and painfully losing his wings for it.

On the other hand, Angel Enjolras who rebelled against the order after seeing so much suffering on earth, refusing to accept those “mysterious ways” and asking for accountability a bit too loud, thus losing his wings.

They both have massive wing tattoos on their backs. They still burn sometimes. Montparnasse’s reputation of “Devilish Dandy” keeps amusing him to no end, and Enjolras can’t count the times he’s been compared to an angel. By Grantaire, especially. He doesn’t know how to feel about that.

Enjolras made Montparnasse promise to keep his mouth shut about the whole angel thing. It’s a secret harder to keep than anticipated. Especially when Enjolras’ tattoos starts to burn in the middle of an ABC meeting, and Grantaire ends up applying cream on his back and asking questions.

OH SHIT IT’S STILL MERMAY

Enjolras could lure sailors into the depths without opening his mouth. His beauty is surreal, but he’s also quick. His blonde almost white hair are just a flash in the eye of saloirs, the reflection of sunlight in the water. Enjolras is actually very wary of humans. He won’t ever try to lure one or kill one, but he’s painfully aware that human may not return the favour

Courfeyrac is the kind of merman who just loves lying on rocks and wallowing in the sunlight? It’s such a nice feeling? He also loves to sing but there are always damned ships nearby like no I don’t want to seduce you I just really like to sing, keep your ass on deck, dammit!

Combeferre is so curious about humans? He legit collects random shit humans drop from ships, cutlery, glasses, whatever. He’s fascinated by the fact that they can breath without water. He’s also convinced that humans are inherently good and that one day merfolks and humans will coexist peacefully

Joly was wounded by a harpoon when he was young, so he can’t swim very well, though he gets by. He’s still the cheeriest soul of them all and teaches tricks to octopuses. Like to pretend that if you press a seashell to your ear you can hear the bustling of a human city

Jehan has a little cave where they keep human stuff, just like Combeferre. Except they like shiny things, pretty thing. They have long discussions with Combeferre about humans and what they must be like, what the objects are for etc etc. Once found a harp at the bottom of the sea and learned how to play by themself

Bahorel likes to race with sharks. There’s just something thrilling about it. Sometimes, flowers float on the water, blown away from nearby coasts, and Bahorel loves weavving them into his beard and his hair to be fancy.

But what about the rest of les Amis, you ask? Well, they’re humans. Because.

Grantaire became a sailor because he’s in dire need of money, and kind of wants to escape the mainland for a while. He sings sailing songs from the deck, accompanied by an harmonica, which arouses the interest of many curious merfolk around

Bossuet is a sea sick sailor who grew up on sailing stories, and figured out it was his vocation. If his bad luck resulted in some personal infortunes, he’s considered to be the crew lucky charm. It’s a paradox he can live with. He’s also a great mandolin player

Feuilly wants to see the world. Thirsty for knowledge and discovery, sailing seemed to be the obvious way to chose. He speaks up to 5 languages and brings books wherever he goes. Everything he knows, he taught himself, and gladly teaches others

I got pretty fed up with looking for words to replace said because they weren’t sorted in a way I could easily use/find them for the right time. So I did some myself.

It’s going to be OK
