Practice what you preach: stop making super long posts about the fact that having super fancy and expensive stationery is unnecessary / useless but meanwhile ALL your oc is ft muji gel pens, leuchtturm bujos and tombow brush pens. SHOW people instead. Post a few non-studyblr-aesthetic pics once in a while.

Motivation < Self Discipline: yes watching successful girls like Elle Woods and Hermione Granger is slightly inspirational but lbr neither of them are going to do your work for you. Hoping for that burst of motivation all the time is useless. It's not always gonna come when you want it to. That's why you need self discipline. Even when you're feeling lazy, your self discipline will get you up and running because you are disciplined enough to know what needs to be done and when.

For the sake of your studyblr: stop rewriting your notes to look like artwork just so you can take a pretty picture of it, if it doesn't help you. Study in a way that suits you. There are tons of masterposts about techniques and strategies for different learning types. There are also tons of quizzes online to help you determine which one you are if you don't know.

What's really important: this amazing community is here to encourage you to keep learning. It's a place to find great resources; meet kind, helpful people; learn new tips and tricks for studying; etc. It is not only about aesthetics. Use your studyblr to the fullest. Ask for help, give advice, make friends!!! At the end of the day this is about your education. No amount of notes on a really cute post will magically give you an A on the history test you didn't really study for.
