1st March: What are your goals for this month? What's something you're looking forward to?

My goals for this month are to develop a proper and regular schedule, not skip meals or sleep because of assignments in college (which currently isn't a problem right now bc I'm living at home but might become a problem when I live in college), start working out regularly, submit all assignments early. Something I'm looking forward to is finally going to college in person!!!! I've been there once while we were dropping my brother off like 5 or sth years ago but that was a different part of the uni since he was in the aeronautical branch. I would love to see the architecture block and the studios and equipment and all of that! Also one of my best friends is going to be in the medical college at the University campus so I'll get to meet her there!!!!

Gosh its been just one week and we've already got so many assignments send help lmao. But yeah!! Day 1 of the march productivity challenge! I could participate in the February challenge very well because between getting covid, recovering, and then going to my cousin's marriage I legit did not get time to update anything lol. It was really good to see so many people participate in it though!!! I'm glad to see people enjoyed it and I hope everyone will enjoy participating in this month's challenge as well!!

March Productivity Challenge - 2022

Okay, this was an article I didn't expect to read, but it's really good if you're interested in sustainable timber harvesting and FSC certification.

Some highlights:

Romania has heaps of old growth forest and a lot of it is being logged illegally

Ikea is the biggest consumer of wood and Romania's largest private landowner

Ikea sources its wood through contracts - this allows the company to keep its distance from illegal logging (while still benefitting from it).

Contracts typically state that a certain amount of wood must be supplied—so contractors supply it whatever the environmental cost

Also many contractor companies (that have illegal practices) supply wood almost exclusively to Ikea (like >90%)

Ikea relies on FSC certification to market its sustainable practices. But FSC relies on independent auditors to give their stamps of approval - and all logging operations need to do is to shop around for an auditor willing to give them the stamp

Ikea is also a founder of the FSC council

Ikea claims that they don't tolerate unsustainable logging practices, yet it sources heavily from areas in Europe that have high rates of scandal and corruption

23.11.2021 & 24.11.2021 || 14+15/100 day of productivity

Practicals went really well and I am quite happy that I could answer everything correctly and complete the works in time. My Biology practical went especially well. My teacher was very happy with the experimental results and I am so glad that I didn't make any mistakes as I did during the practice. All the stress was worth the relief in the end.

Today my goals were:

23rd November:

Give the Chemistry and Physics Practical Exams

Submit the journals

Prepare for the Biology Practicals

24th November:

Give the Biology Practicals

Relax

Do some physics sample papers

Now onto the Winter Study Challenge❄:

Day Eleven: What element do you feel most connected to and why? (Earth, Air, Fire, Water)

I feel the most connected to fire, because of how it is never steady and how it provides warmth to everyone around. I also relate to how sometimes, it takes a while to light the fire just like it takes me time to adjust to a new situation or begin again.

Day Twelve: Do you ever wish that you could go back in time and change something about your life? If you did, what would be different now?

I wish to change all the times I procrastinated and didn't do anything productive. I think I would have much less stress and worries now if I could change them.

someone needs to screech at me to remind me to take studyblr pics:") im sorry for being so inactive

So, I’ve finally created my own little corner upstairs where I can do my work now! The dining table never really worked because its right next to the living room and my dad’s corner never worked because he has a shit ton of junk on there. I’ve also looked more into energy management, compared to time management and it looks so much better for someone like me who is pants at sticking to constrained schedules

14th July - Would you rather stay in one resort for a month or travel across the country for one month?

do you have a specific goal for this summer?

25 May 2020 // my long-term goals spread before and after the pen

—☀️ i’m so excited about the future rn, and i consider it a miracle considering how depressed i was. i still get bouts of crippling anxiety and helplessness from time to time, because life’s still so unpredictable, but i’m coping so much better. there are things i’m looking forward to now. things that make me happy. it doesn’t seem like it when you’re at your lowest, but it does get better.
