finished another semester of physical therapy school which means I finally get a break from reading textbooks and research articles

study time ! 🦋

it’s been difficult getting the motivation to study, but motivation isn’t what i need - what i need is to sit down, set a timer, and just do what i can. because that’s what studying should be - doing what you can with the time you have, not being a god ! that’s why i’ve been using pomodoro timers to help me get going, even when it’s tough.

Self-doubt is one of factors that prevents your from chasing your passion. When you overthink about setbacks of your idea, you immediate decrease your chance of success. Don’t let self-doubt takes over your goals and instead, love yourself. 

%%% hello everyone! i finally posted again after a. while. took me around a year to get back but i’ve learnt lots through that time. i’m finally getting back on track. 🎐

In this post, I list 7 of my all-time favorite apps / chrome extensions that I use daily.  I hope I can help out some fellow uni students who are struggling.  This might help make studying less painful and a tiny tiny bit more enjoyable.
