and miles to go before i sleep

improving your handwriting [click for higher res.] → some advice if you’re looking into changing or neatening your handwriting.—t.k.

here are tips I discovered very recently:

something is better than nothing. 5 minutes of work are better than zero. Just because you missed something on your schedule doesn’t mean you can’t still work on it, even for 5 minutes. Grow and build on this.

second drafts / reviews can be done after.

Don’t think you are going to do your very best work on the first try. Take the weight of perfectionism off your shoulders.

don’t think about doing it. just do it as fast as you can.

build on your productivity, not your failures.

If you come from a past of procrastinating and now feel motivated to change and discipline yourself, do NOT try to do everything at once.

if you have a set of different goals to accomplish, begin with the most important one. Wait until the rotine of working for that one settles in (you feel productive and comfortable-ish), and then begin with the next. Repeat.

this way you’ll be building your way up and not juggling everything at the same time, hoping everything works out.

be patient with yourself, you’ll get there!

set smaller deadlines for your goals

have monthly and weekly-ish deadlines

e.g. if you are doing a project, due 22nd Feb, set personal deadlines, like have Introduction written by 2nd Feb, have Methods written by 10th Feb, have project complete by 18th Feb.

take them as seriously as you possibly can, don’t miss out on yourself.

write realistic daily tasks and don’t stop until you finish them. after them you can do whatever you want

on writing realistic daily tasks, the secret is knowing you can only do so much in one day, but trusting you can accomplish everything in the course of any period of time (a week, or 2 weeks or a month, etc.) because you will combine the work from all these different days.

it’s very tempting to write down all the tasks you need to accomplish in one day to just get over with it, but the real deal is you won’t accomplish half of them. You’ll feel very unproductive then, wich leads to demotivation.

spread daily tasks in the time necessary.

have a consistent sleep schedule.

if your mind isn’t ready everything will fall apart.

have one rest day per week where you plan nothing, do whatever you want except studying. this can be harder than you expect!

→ asked by @insignaeum​ for some advice on starting up a new studyblr so i decided to gather some resources in one post—hope this helps…! ♪ —tia ♬

what is a studyblr?:

study + tumblr = studyblr

instagram: study + instagram = studygram

snapchat: study + snapchat = studysnap

youtube: study + youtube = studytube

starting up your studyblr:

send plenty of asks if you’re confused, interact with studyblrs around you!! you don’t need to only reach out to the most ‘popular’ blogs around you ♪

check out some indexes like this one or this one! you might find some studyblrs that share some common interests with you~!! ☆

post your own content → by far, in my opinion, the best way to reach out to other studyblrs; tag them with #studyblr, #studyspo and you can also check out tags of individual studyblrs for exposure!

follow plenty of studyblrs— i find that i feel more motivated when isee more study content on my dashboard ☆ alternatively, you can also track [follow] individual tags! ex. appblr, medblr, etc.

having extra social media never hurts! → you can make an studygram or studytube to connect with more of your followers + fellow studyblrs~!

#helicion30challenge

My first ever studyblr prompt! I’m trying to get people in the studyblr community to be more engaging with each other, and diversify original contents in this community. For this specific challenge, I have made a separate blog @helicion30challenge. 

How to participate (aka rules):

Must follow @helicion30challenge so you can see other people’s post + updates

Preferable be a studyblr

Self-paced; you do not have the do the challenge consecutively in a month.

Do one a day, in any order. Do not repeat challenge prompts. 

Reblog this post. Get the word out!

Tag #helicion30challenge

Title your post appropriately!! This makes it easier for me to follow your stuff, and tag it properly on the challenge blog. I have given a general title for each prompt that you may use, and these titles are what I am using to tag your content on the challenge blog. For example: post on stuff in your book bag can be titled “what’s in my book bag”, but not “snapshot”. 

Do not repost another person’s stuff and claim as your own (that’s bad!)

Post can be in any format as long as it can be reblogged. 

Please reblog each other’s contents! 

Refrain from using #helicion30challenge if not participating in the challenge.

I find it easier to have a checklist to mark off the ones that I have already done, so I made a checklist for you guys as well! 

Have fun! This isn’t supposed to be serious or anything; it’s to get you guys engaged in the community.

Goals of this challenge:

To encourage studyblrs to engage with each other. 

For baby studyblrs to start out somewhere and grow in the community.

To promote original content publications in the community.

To introduce a diversity of original contents.
