[43/100 days of productivity]

Day 06/100 of Productivity

The great thing about having short, wide cup is you can use it as a coffee mug and as an oatmeal bowl. I've been enjoying studying a lot these days, although today was certainly an “off-day” meaning, I felt off. It's probably the climate in my country, everyday the weather app tells me, although the temperature is 40-41°C, thanks to humidity, it'll feel like 46°C (I'm not even exaggerating). We're not supposed to be living like this.

a day in recovery 🤒

~a brief morning~

the day begins with bed rotting, which serendipitously leads to this ted talk, which reminds me it's okay to not be okay, and i get up. i will take a nap this afternoon.

it's almost noon.

breakfast, brush teeth, brain fog, laundry. by the time the clothes are in the washer, my body feels like lead.

let me just write down the due dates for this semester, and then i'll shower, and then sleep.

~afternoon~

a filled calendar and a 2h documentary (for the cancer course 🤓) later, i had a very late lunch and finished the laundry. i forgot how tired i was after writing the due dates...i never know if it's a good thing, the compulsive urge to check off a school-related task. but i've gotten better at choosing tasks that are suitable for my energy levels. the excitement of the documentary woke me up.

now, for the shower. i'm not so sure when i'll have that nap.

~an evening cut short~

made myself eat dinner at a sane time to fix my sleep schedule. and then i went to bed ridiculously early.

51/100

Back in the library! I could not focus or stay awake while trying to study for my developmental psych exam tomorrow. So I called it quits after about an hour and decided I’d go to bed early and wake up early tomorrow. But we’ll see if that actually happens haha.

It’s officially cold. Last week we had highs of 85°F/29°C and now it’s 33°F/0°C and that’s just too drastically different. To the library tonight I wore sweat pants over my leggings as well as a tee shirt, a sweat shirt, and a jacket. If I had a hat I’d put that on too but alas. At least I’ll get to wear a sweater tomorrow!

november 19th, saturday

zoning out and walking into the apartment next to the library instead counter: 2

struggling with biological classification and physics these days. winter brings along the desire to sit at the corner of my room and stare at the ceiling endlessly: no thoughts, head empty.

I think I might start a productivity challenge because the november blues seem unending, just like the number of forthcoming exams.

desk setup!

College approaches and I spent time cleaning up my messy desk ✨
