University starts tomorrow.

Am I panicking? Of course I am!

However, I'm quite bored, I did all my prep work and my brother has my laptop for the day because of the Steven Universe Marathon and I did my Lunch Prep for the Week and my clothes are ready so its a pretty cool day today.

Today I went to Youngpoong Bookstore (YP Books /  영풍문고). Like Kyobo, this is a bookstore with a large selection of various stationary! This was actually the first bookstore I visited in Korea and I spent about an hour and a half in the store the first time I went!

sometimes physics is really boring so we doodle. a lot.

“Coffee-coffee-coffee is a saying. Like an exaggeration. It’s a funny, desperate cry for caffeine.” – Lorelai Gilmore

I hereby give you permission to hit the metaphorical reset button.

Take a deep breath, and then let it out slowly, paying attention to how it feels to let it out.

Get a drink of water, drink it mindfully, and then reset and go from there.

how to be a more productive person☀️

review your goals: if you want to be more productive, the first thing is that you have to know what you’re working towards!

if you don’t have them written down, make sure to put them down in a safe space (one that you can come back to and review) such as your planner, bullet journal, phone, or more. and it can be helpful to write them down on sticky notes and place them around places you frequent like your mirror, locker, or door. 

if you’re just coming up with some goals, don’t make too many or else you won’t accomplish anything. focusing on one or two at a time will give you less stress. it might be helpful to make monthly or twelve week goals.

break those goals into actionable steps: even with just one goal, you might feel super intimidated to get things done. so make a list with all of the teeny tiny things you can do that will slowly help you reach your goal. 

prioritize: make time for the things that are important to you and cut out the things that are a waste of time (social media, television, and anything that isn’t getting you where you want to be). 

don’t wait for motivation: it’s so much more important to have discipline than motivation. while motivation doesn’t come up all the time, discipline makes you so that you’re trained to get up regardless of how unmotivated you are. 

just get up and do something so that there are no zero days! sometimes i like to remind myself of the 1 percent rule (by james clear): “making a choice that is 1 percent better or 1 percent worse seems insignificant in the moment,  but over the span of moments that make up a lifetime these choices determine the difference between who you are and who you could be”. 

in your everyday to-do list, be specific: instead of saying “study”, say “study chemistry notes for one hour after i eat dinner”. this gets rid of any indecisions you might have, so you’ll know exactly what you’re doing and when.

take breaks: in between your work, schedule in some breaks for ten to fifteen minutes to avoid burnout. here are some ideas:

read a book

go outside for a walk/run

put on a face mask

clean your room

get a healthy snack

drink some water
