random things I do to fool my brain into staying interested during online study
changing myย chrome cursor into something cute like a strawberry
changing my chrome theme to a wacky colour
adding stickers onto my laptop
listening to new music in a language I donโt know
or hyped video game music for energy
buying a fidget toy. like deadass I had my doubts but theyโre so good
using the web paint extension while in meetings or lectures
changing the appearance of whatever note taking app you use
for epic gamers with light-up keyboards, changing the lightโs colour settings
having a very hot or very cold drinkย
putting said drink directly under my face when working and using a straw, so I donโt forget itโs there and donโt have to move my head much to sip
hav u eaten or drank anything today hey hello itโs already midday
sparkling water perchance?? itโs water but itโs fun and interesting
ambient fireplace 10 hours loop
alternatively, death metal hardcore bass boosted.mp3
putting on a ridiculous outfit and pretending youโre a wizard doing important work. I have given up on beingย โput togetherโ at this stage
getting up and having scheduled dance breaks to move around
donโt like your chair? are u gay and canโt sit normal? try arranging pillows and boxes to make a diy cross-legged chair or sit on the floor
u kno when you get a million ideas during studying but u donโt want to break focus: hey siri okay google alexaย remind me in a sec about this very specific thing that just couldnโt wait 10 more minutes to force itself into brain
giving up. lmao sometimes you genuinely need a break and nothing you do will make your brain focus so donโt feel guilty for needing rest! itโs technically more productive to spend the time resting and recharging than forcing yourself to half assedly focus and get nothing done
tl;dr-ย changing appearances of devices often for Spice, having small snacks and various drinks, hype music for energy, any and all fidget toys, knowing when to give up
