Today was a great day! First study group for math and a great investigating science lesson. I love my teacher! She’s great!

[12/100 Days of Productivity/ Day Three of #wilstudiesfeb Challenge]: February 3rd, 2018

Today it was a time to relax and enjoy a day off as I’m assuming that many weekends to come will not be the same. However, productivity-wise, I cleaned my room, rehearsed and did interval training for music!

Day Three: Watch or listen to a Ted Talk

Day 9 of #wilstudiesfeb is to host a studyblr sleepover!

Basically, from TODAY (8:30pm AEST (9/2/18)) to TOMORROW (10pm AEST (10/2/18)), drop in and send an ask about anything (doesn’t have to be studyblr/ study related!)

[13/100 Days of Productivity]: February 4th, 2018

Today I finished my math homework and watched supernatural as a treat of getting all work for the week done

Day Four: Do Something You’ve Been Putting Off 

as part of #wilstudiesfeb, Day 5′s challenge is “what would you tell your 14 year old self. 

Dear 14 year old tee, 

Things aren’t the best right now. You’re stuck in a school, in one of the worst years of your life, surrounded by not too many kind people. You’re streaks ahead of them all, empathetically and intellectually. It’s time to get help with your anxiety, as it’s only going to get worse. It would really help you out if you weren’t so anxious about basic adult tasks like ordering food and calling someone. You’re struggling a lot, so much. You don’t fit in, no one seems to like you, it seems like no one understands. soon enough you’ll learn about why you have some of the problems you do. It’ll make things a little easier, but you’ll still just have to cope with these few years at this school…

But here I am 2018, future you. You’ve survived and dealt with Kinder to the second week of Year 11. It’s the best environment. I know you think that things aren’t going to get better, but they are. They finally are. You’ve got some friends who always make you happy and they always make you smile. Maybe in the future you’ll drift apart, but enjoy the moments you have now. School is finally great, and it’s perfect for you. 

Love 16 (approaching 17) year old Tee

February Studyblr Challenge Day Two: Make a mood board for you studyblr’s aesthetic

I find that when the biggest thing is to listen to your body. If you’re starting to get tired, or your mind is starting to go off topic- go and do something else! It’s great to be productive, but there are times that we don’t feel up to it. 

We learnt at a study workshop the other day, that you should focus on tasks rather than time. Meaning that you might sit down and complete one page of questions, and make a summary for one topic, then have a break.

It causes you to be more productive, without wasting time saying something like “I’m going to sit down and do an hour of math” and then find after 20 minutes- you’ve done your work and now you’re wasting time forcing yourself to be productive. 

In saying that, I like to set a time that I will not do any more work. This may sound a little confusing with the next part but….

I find the best way to keep a balance of work and relaxing, is to have a ‘reward’ for each task. Three hard task might mean two episodes of a TV show or a movie. But don’t do the rewards during studying. Every time you complete a task, write down the reward on a sheet of paper, and throughout the week- at different times of the day, complete these tasks. 

It sounds a little confusing, but it means that you get to do fun things that aren’t work. And by setting a time to stop for each day (make sure to change it up each day too. So it might be 6pm one day and 3pm the next!) it helps you stop burnout!

Hopefully this helps a bit xx
