April Days of Productivity - 1/30

Thank you for your kind words! 💘 Here are some things I love to do and where I find the time for them, maybe they can bring some whimsy in your life too:

Train/bus commute hobbies:

Small knitting projects, like a fish pouch (a row counter ring is super useful here!)

E-readerpreloaded with short reads

Nintendo DS with nostalgic games

Sunday morning hobbies:

Colouring book! If you get some high quality pencils blending is very satisfying

Waking up early to make a cup of tea and watch a movie in bed. Morning movie watching is underrated tbh

Sudoku puzzle on a park bench (or crosswords if that’s more your thing!)

Tired from studying in the library:

Make a Pinterest picture collage on Canva and print it out for future scrapbooking

Do the daily cemantle 🇬🇧 / cémantix 🇫🇷

Find a Tedx talk or video about an unknown topic and just listen to it

When you have a small bag and 5 free minutes

Carry a tiny notebook to write or doodle in! When I’ve left the house without one I’ve always regretted it

Find a list of journaling prompts and answer some on your notes app. (Thepostofficegirl on insta has an archive of some that I quite enjoy!)

My semester has concluded, yet there remains so many things that, without the illusion of expectation and structure motivating me to put in the work, would probably go untouched (unread books, pdfs wasting away in the Downloads folder, hobbies neglected in favour of daydreaming…). Whether you feel the same, need a push to get through the last month of your own semester, or just feel up to the challenge, I invite you to tag along.

The idea is simple:

Compile your June goals into one post, then mark each item as desired upon completion. This is mine.

Tag all your posts #june days of productivity, that way we can find each other. Daily, weekly, and sporadic updates are all acceptable.

Starting 1st June, do one thing every day to bring you closer to achieving your goals, however minor it might be. Rest is productive! So is connecting with nature, one's friends, family and pets.

Enjoy the journey! You can't fail as long as you are having fun.

On 30th June, we can congratulate ourselves for our dedication.

Additionally, I encourage everyone who participates to reflect on their month as it progresses. Pay attention to your habits and choices, what works and what might not, whether you are pushing yourself farther than you ought to or can stand to push yourself more, and so forth.
