awful no good horrible terrible stupid day. its only been two days since this started. it is what it is

highlights:

I woke up at 8:30am 😔. I did get ready in less than ten minutes though and actually arrived in time for my first class so that was a win.

but then again all I did today was attend my classes. that's all I had in me to do lmao. 8 hours of uni today 👍

my brain didn't let me get out of bed so I just slept at 7pm and woke up at 2am lol

statistics:

prompt of the day: habits or routines that helped me get through this year...

I am genuinely too mentally ill to be consistent with any habits or routines so my answer for this is like. all of them. all of them in some form or way has helped me get through the year lol

unfortunately I still need to figure it out, because this past year has been alot of working myself to burnout and then survive burnout and then rinse and repeat because life doesn't wait for you to recover.

day 2

today was a rollercoaster omg

highlights:

woke up at 5:30am again wooo!! I was really groggy but I worked on a very easy assignment for an hour which woke me up properly

I was apparently the only one to do the assignment in my class so my professor was proud of me :D

I baked oatmeal today for breakfast! it was meh? I mean it is meant to be eaten with toppings and I didn't have any except for peanut butter so that's on me

only 4 hours of uni today thank goddd

I live in bum-ass nowhere town so I had to go to a very specific grocery store to get imported things such as lettuce. there was no lettuce. I have been craving a chicken sandwich with lettuce for weeks. pain

that was the beginning of all the disasters that followed lmao

so I got into a very stupid accident that dented and ripped out the bumper of my car (its a lot less dramatic than it sounds) and dealing with it was stressing me out

while I was dealing with it though, my housekeeper dropped my CPU. like it went splat on the floor really hard. it didn't switch on and started beeping. my computer guy was on vacation and said he wouldn't be back in 3 days. i may have had a mental breakdown anyways-

I handled it though!! I looked like a deer in headlights most of the time but I dealt with it!! all alone!!

and then fixed the CPU with my dad on call!! I didn't do much, just poked around on the inside but it worked so that's a win in my book!!!

all of that tired me out though so even though I had like an hour left in the day to study I was just chilling instead so I didn't reach my study goals 😔

statistics:

similar hours as yesterday but not enough time spent studying 💀

prompt of the day: my life improved this past year thanks to...

a major change to my life this year was that I began living alone, with my family a country away.

yes it was incredibly daunting and lonely at first but it genuinely gets so much better

it was kind of a dream-come true because the independence I got from it was something I've been craving since my teen years and I knew it would make my life alot easier and happier which it did!

day 1

we're locking in this month. no excuses. gonna get the ball rolling in December and hoping it keeps rolling the next year too!

highlights:

woke up at 5:30am today to study for a Java lab exam I had today and finished the programs in 3 hours. a white monster helped me along the way. the obsession stays strong.

Mondays mean 6 hours of uni. 😔

since my professor evaluated the lab in front of me, I achieved 46/50 (got marks cut because apparently my handwriting is bad or something💀)

one of my year-end goals is to take the stairs instead of the elevator just to get the bare minimum of movement in, and I took it today morning out of habit but I did go up and down some uni staircases to make up for it!

participated in society as an official adult today. too many numbers and an unnecessary amount of calculations were involved.

this December is a very hectic exam-filled month for me so I have planned and begun studying. today I attempted operating systems for 1 hour and 15 minutes. it went extremely well though I shall admit I was procrastinating so I got it done a little later than I meant to be done. I still got it done though!!

statistics:

prompt of the day: something I am excited for....

I have implemented a strategy that I've wanted to try for a while, which is basically plan out the entire week on sunday and then make edits as the day progresses.

yes, this is a very simple and common strategy but I only recently got the motivation to try it out, and thought it best to do with a productivity challenge!

today was essentially a trial run of it and my brain is genuinely thriving and fulfilled, a smidge overwhelmed but that's to be expected with a lifestyle change.

I've also never felt this ready to tackle things and be this present in the moment. it's a very scary yet relieving feeling!

it is pretty early to make any sort of conclusions about this, though I am excited to commit to this strategy in the coming days no matter what!

Collab Challenge with @a-fox-studies @winryrockbellwannabe @nanthegirl @larstudy 30 Days of Productivity! here are almost all of the rest of the days put together in a mega post just to finish off this challenge because its bothering me that its left unfinished because I have a mental illness. which is ironic because I couldn't update due to my mental illness lol all the stats here are combined!! as in I pulled out a calculator and calculated it after like months 💛 axy’s study time: 40 hours 16 minutes 💚 aj’s study time: 32 hours 30 minutes 💜 nan’s study time: 13 hours 32 minutes ❤ lar’s study time: 48 hours 38 minutes 💙 iris’s study time: 42 hours

DAY 14: (5 fics) alot of assignments and lab record work completed

DAY 15: (7 fics) I don't remember LMAO, my calendar is just empty for this day, so I probably just read in bed

DAY 16: (8 fics) I spent the whole day shopping with family for my brother's wedding.

DAY 17: (4 fics) I went to college. and survived. that's all

DAY 18: (1 fic) another dead day in my calendar lmao I think this is when I read a 120k word fic

DAY 19: (1 fic) once again writing assignments and lab record work for hours [this is probably where all my study hours are lmao]

DAY 20: (1 fic) I read another really long fic 💀

DAY 21: (4 fics) dead day, read in bed

DAY 22: (8 fics) all the errands in the whole world were done on this day, I visited the pharmacy, the grocery store, the eye doctor, the tailor and the flour mill on this day 😭

DAY 23: (2 fics) more errands because I was about to travel to another city for the marriage

DAY 24: (3 fics) packing. I just packed.

the rest of the days are in the void of traveling and family events lmao. according to this, I've realized that consistency is the monster under my bed. all of my hours span across two or three days instead of the whole ten days 😭

Now, after a few months, and HUGE life events - namely I live alone now and I swear I'm more responsible than what the above displays. no matter how hot of a mess I end up being I eventually clean it up. eventually T_T - I've gotten better at consistency.

this post ended up being a reflection of the progress I made since this challenge lol, which I guess is the point of having a studyblr in the first place! looking forward to future challenges with everyone above, and figuring out a different way to update it so I can reach a compromise with consistency!!

took today to recover from yesterday's horrible day and honestly the whole week lol

I did end up cutting my nails - I broke a nail like three days ago and it's the most annoying thing - before wasting away in bed so that's a very tiny win

Day 12 [4th April, Friday]

Collab Challenge with @a-fox-studies @winryrockbellwannabe @nanthegirl @larstudy 30 Days of Productivity! 💛 axy’s study time: 4 hours 24 minutes ✨ 💚 aj’s study time: 3 hours 💜 nan’s study time: 0 hours ❤ lar’s study time: 0 hours 💙 iris’s study time: 0 hours

I was criminally early at uni today because I woke up too late to go to sleep again or study but too early for my lectures to begin so I really should’ve known today was gonna be an awful day

my first two hours was just eng. drawing which was really fun, followed by an hour of electrical where I just solved some numerical questions and talked to my friends because my professor was really chill

I had another lecture after this but that professor didn’t show up at all thirty minutes in AGAIN (same prof. as yesterday lmao), so we walked out to get pani puri. I enjoyed it too much to take pictures lol

on the drive home however I got yelled at for being an awful driver by some random man on a bike because he almost hit me when I had to stop before another bike hit me on the side, and then got home to get yelled at again for things I had no control over so the day ended awfully to the point that I just went to bed lol

it is what it is T_T

Day 11 [3rd April, Thursday]

Collab Challenge with @a-fox-studies @winryrockbellwannabe @nanthegirl @larstudy 30 Days of Productivity! 💛 axy’s study time: 7 hours 22 minutes ✨ 💚 aj’s study time: 3 hours 💜 nan’s study time: 3 hours ❤ lar’s study time: 3 hours 29 minutes 💙 iris’s study time: 3 hours

I woke up at 3am fucking finally, and the studying I got done was GLORIOUS [I usually sleep really early, almost right after I get home from uni to be able to wake up at 3am and while I haven't been consistent with it I know once I do I will be unstoppable]

watched some valorant valkyrae vods in the background while studying math and writing some record work for chemistry. also basked in the joy of being awake at an ungodly hour on my own terms and having time to myself before the chaos of uni

speaking of, spent my first two hours of uni in my chemistry lab - we did an experiment to calculate viscosities of three liquids and it was my turn to pipette stuff in my group so my mouth tasted like acetone for a long while today

this was followed by a math lecture and I'm having alot of fun with the content of it this semester, I don't know if its the change in professor or I just locked in or something yes I've been posting my math notes three days straight because math is the only subject I have consistently good notes in T_T

had a one credit subject lecture after that but the professor didn't show up so I just left class to go home and take my mom to the grocery store!! we took an auto for this one, but now that I know the way, I get to take her in the car next time :D

Day 10 [2nd April, Wednesday]

woke up super early to drive to uni, park in a spot in an alleyway that I’d negotiated with the pani puri stand aunty that usually feeds me and my friends when class is over, and walk so far to my classes curse you uni

we finished the first module [the whole syllabus is five modules] in both english and math today back to back, and this means I need to make my cheat sheets and notes in both those subjects soon. I need to also study in advance because I’m gonna be absent for a whole week of classes because of my brother’s wedding so I really need to lock in one of these days T_T

we have lectures till lunch only this week and next week’s monday because of a function in college that I usually don’t attend because it’s honestly too hot and too much of a hassle to just stay there till 5, but today I attended it and it was fun even though traffic at 5pm was stressful
