please stop reblogging sylvia plath poetryÂ
For ppl asking why sheâs an anti black, anti Semite. She has used the n word and compared her depression to the holocaust
Even not counting her poetry her private journals are full of disgusting, overblown antisemitism. She didnât just use Jewish people for her metaphors, she outright hated them irl and yet decided to use their suffering for her own gain
hereâs a source with some quotes
okay, Iâm Jewish and I appreciate this sentiment. and if someone wants to cut out Sylvia Plath, go for it, I get it.
But. by this logic weâd also need to stop reblogging TS Eliot, Oscar Wilde, and Shakespeare quotes. Virginia Woolf wrote anti-semetic things in her private journals, too. If you only want to read classic poets who liked Jews and black people, thatâs fine, but like. good luck? Sylvia Plath isnât an exception.
idk. Tumblrâs attitude of âconsume nothing problematicâ just doesnât work if youâre part of a group that most culture-creators over the last few centuries have hated by default. For people actually in those groups, itâs not like the only two choices are 1) worship authors who hate you or 2) completely cut the majority of literature out of your life. You learn to read critically and acknowledge flaws where you find them.
anyway, as a Jewish woman, I would much rather see a version of this post that said âplease read Sylvia Plath poetry critically because sheâs anti black and antisemeticâ than just âstop reblogging Sylvia Plath poetry.â
IMO, reblog Sylvia Plath all you want, just not unthinkingly.
Iâm reblogging this now because Iâm seeing anti-Virginia Woolf discourse lately due to the antisemitism in her journals and like⌠as a Jewish person who loves Virginia Woolfâs writing and an English teacher who knows that pretty much every writer of the classics is Problematic justâŚchill pls
The point isnât to never consume media that isnât ideologically pure. Thatâs never the point. Were that the goal, we would NEVER be able to consume any media. Nothing is ever ideologically pure, especially as time goes on and our social consciousness expands.
We should be telling people instead, âBe critical as you read this personâs work. They held bigoted views. Understand how that is reflected in their work, and be mindful of it. Be critical, be thoughtfulâ
Compelling others to not engage with something at ALL on ideological grounds is in the same vein as burning books. We should be compelling others to be critical and mindful, not narrow and willfully ignorant.
Concept: the Silmarillion, in the style of Lemony Snicket
âStealing, of course, is a crime, and a very impolite thing to do. But like most impolite things, it is excusable under certain circumstances. Stealing is not excusable if, for instance, you are in a workshop and you decide that the Silmarils would look better in your crown, and you simply grab the Silmarils and take them there. But if you were very, very hungry, and you had no way of obtaining money, it would be excusable to grab the Silmarils, take them to your fortress, and eat them.â
âFinrod was an Arafinwean, a word which here means âlithe blonde twink who, for some reason, everybody in the entire world except for Celegorm seems to underestimate.â
Curufin was smitten, a word which here means ânot Celegorm.ââ
âNow, âin the darkâ is a term meaning that one is not aware of something that is going on, and has very little to do with physical light, or the lack of such a thing. If it is a bright sunny day and you are sitting in a park and you have no idea that buried beneath your picnic spot is a treasure chest then you are in the dark not in the dark, and if it is the dead of night and you are traipsing through the woods and you are entirely aware that you are being followed by a troupe of ballerinas then you are not in the dark in the dark, and if you are sitting at your kitchen table working and you are so intent on your work that you do not even realize night has fallen then you are in the dark about being in the dark in the dark, until you look up and find yourself no longer in the dark about being in the dark in the dark. And immediately after Melkor extinguished the Trees, all of Valinor found itself very comprehensively in the dark.â
âFingolfin was an optimist, a word which here means âattempting to make amends with his half-brother who has just threatened him with a sword.â
Fingolfin was an optimist, a word which here means âwilling to trust his half-brother to bring him across an ocean in the boats they have just stolen together.â
Fingolfin was an optimist, a word which here means âabout to cross an ice bridge, having previously turned back because such a thing was clearly impossible.â
Fingolfin was an optimist, a word which here means âabout to charge an evil god and stab him with a sword.â
Fingolfin was an optimist, a word which here means âdead.ââ
âIf you are allergic to a thing, it is best not to put that thing in your mouth, particularly if the thing is cats, or, in Finrodâs case, werewolves.â
Chinese Kids Are Getting Their Parents, Their Parentsâ Parents, And Their Parentsâ Parentsâ Parents Involved In A Meme
Thereâs a new meme in China, and itâs very wholesome. The challenge, called âfour generations,â includes four generations of family members making an appearance, from youngest to oldest. A son would call his dad, who then calls his dad, who then calls his dad. And a daughter would call her mom, who calls her mom, who calls her mom. The results are super cute.
The videos are being shared on video app Douyin, the Chinese version of TikTok, under the challenge name, âFour generations under one roof.â

This is legit the cutest and most wholesome meme omg
They all look so happy and so on board with the meme, I love it <3
I love how many absolutely delighted old people are in this video
Since once in a blue moon I actually discover a decent rule for adulting, and since I know I have followers a few years younger than me who are just entering the workforce, I want to tell you about a very important phrase.Â
âI wonât be available.â
Imagine youâre at work and your boss asks you to come in on Saturday. Saturday is usually your day offâcoming in Saturdays is not an obligation to keep your job. Maybe you were going to watch a movie with a friend, or maybe you were just going to lie in bed and eat ice cream for eight hours, but either way you really, really donât want to give up your day off.
If you consider yourself a millennial youâve probably been raised to believe you need to justify not being constantly at work. And if youâre a gen-Z kid youâre likely getting the same toxic messages that we did. So in a situation like that, you might be inclined to do one of three things:
Tell your boss youâd rather not give up your day off. Cave when they pressure you to come in anyway, since youâre not doing anything important.
Tell your boss youâd rather not give up your day off. Over-apologize and worry that you looked bad/unprofessional.
Lie and say youâve got a doctorâs appointment or some other activity that feels like an adequate justification for not working.
The fact is, it doesnât matter to your boss whether youâre having open heart surgery or watching anime in your underwear on Saturday. The only thing that affects them is the fact that you wonât be at work. So telling them why you wonât be at work only gives them reason to try and pressure you to come in anyway.
If you say âI wonât be available,â giving no further information, youâd be surprised how often thatâs enough. Be polite and sympathetic in your tone, maybe even say âsorry, but I wonât be available.â But donât make an excuse. If your boss is a professional individual, theyâll accept that as a ânoâ and try to find someone else.Â
But bosses arenât always professional. Sometimes theyâre whiny little tyrants. So, what if they pressure you further? The answer isâpolitely and sympathetically give them no further information.
âAre you sure youâre not available?â âSorry, but yes.â
âWhy wonât you be available?â âI have a prior commitment.â (Which you do, even if itâs only to yourself.)
âWhatâs your prior commitment?â âSorry, but thatâs kind of personal.â
âCan you reschedule it?â âIâm afraid not. Maybe someone else can come in?â
If you donât give them anything to work with, they canât pressure you into going beyond your obligations as an employee. And when they realize that, theyâll also realize they have to find someone else to come in and move on.
IMPORTANT!! PLEASE READ!!
Just like with many other parts of life, learn to say ânoâ to people. You are important. Donât kill yourself for another person, esp. if they are your boss.

How to Deal with Study Burnout
As students in this day and age, itâs quite common for us to juggle rigorous academic responsibilities and overwhelming extracurricular activities. As a result, we might feel burnt out. But what exactly is burnout?Â
Burnout is when you feel physically and mentally exhausted as a result of constantly lacking the energy required to fulfill the demands of your studying.
Burnout can be broken down into three parts:
Exhaustion is what causes you to feel tired all the time and unable to concentrate. You could also get sick or have trouble sleeping.
Cynicism or depersonalization is when you feel disconnected from those around you, e.g. your friends and family.
Inefficacy is a decrease in productivity, efficiency, or quality of your work.
How do you know if you have burnout?
Symptoms may vary, but they include:
Being unable to absorb new information
Intellectual exhaustion
Decreasing academic performance and productivity
Feeling like you need to prove yourself
Making yourself work even more, even though youâre exhausted or being unwilling to study further
Neglecting your needs
Long term fatigue
Showing disinterest in things you normally enjoy, e.g. hobbies or friends
Denying that somethingâs wrong with you (may manifest in the form of aggression)
Avoiding social interaction
Feeling empty and depressed
What can I do to fix it?
Here are some short term solutions for dealing with burnout.
1. Take a power nap Power naps are life changing. They help you recharge your energy and get you ready to start working again. They also improve learning, memory, creativity, alertness, and mood. I would recommend napping for 30 minutes at most, because anything more will lead to a longer sleep session.
Optional: drink coffee before your nap - something that takes a short while to consume like a shot of espresso - so that youâll feel alert and revitalized afterwards!
2. Take a shower A cold one will wake you up, but a warm one will calm you down. I suggest starting with warm water, then ending with cold water.
3. Exercise Whether itâs playing soccer or doing yoga, the important thing is to get moving! Exercise releases endorphins or happy hormones that help you combat stress.
4. Run a quick errand This will help take your mind off things while also getting something done! Youâll also end up walking, which is technically a form of exercise.
5. Call or visit a friend Sometimes what weâre lacking is social interaction, and hanging out with a friend definitely helps. Whether itâs providing you with a distraction or giving emotional support, your friends are always there to help you. Plus, science has shown that being with friends reduces your cortisol (stress hormone) levels.
6. Eat a snack Preferably a healthy one. Eat something with proteins, vitamins, and fibers to boost your mood. Hereâs a list of mood boosting foods.
7. Surf the web This requires A TON of discipline, but itâs definitely a game changer. Surfing the web is one of the most relaxing things you could do. I personally look for a good laugh during my study breaks, so Iâd watch a comedy or scroll through memes to get those happy hormones up and running.
8. Do an activity you find interesting, e.g. a hobby We all need happiness in our lives, and our hobbies are perhaps the best way to find that joy. You could sit down with a page turning adventure, or go outside and shoot hoops, or listen to a podcast, or even bullet journal, as long as youâre having a good time.
9. Listen to music Music is one of the ways we gain energy, so I always make time for it during the day. However, you should choose the right music, because not all the music you love is going to make you feel energized. For me, itâs pop punk with hard hitting beats, thundering guitars, and really upbeat, enthusiastic vocals. Some of you might be energized by mellow music with dreamy vocals that make you feel like youâre floating in the clouds. If you choose the wrong music, you might just end up feeling sluggish and drained.
10. Get some fresh air Your brain needs 20% of the oxygen in your body. Fresh air brings more oxygen to your brain so that you can think more clearly, feel less tired, and concentrate more easily.
How do I make sure I donât get it in the future?
Avoiding study burnout in the long term has a lot to do with our study habits - as well as our daily habits. We need to make sure that our bodies and minds receive the things they need, and that we arenât overworking them.
1. Study a little at a time Break up your notes into smaller, more easily digestible pieces and learn a little at a time. This way, youâre not overwhelming your brain, and you have time to let that new knowledge settle in.
2. Time management Having a good study schedule is crucial in preventing burnout. You donât want to force yourself to work at your slow hours. Aside from that, you definitely shouldnât leave things until the last minute, and sticking to a schdule will help you pace yourself. Hereâs a post I wrote on How to Make an Efficient Revision Schedule and How to Beat Procrastination.
3. Get enough rest I cannot stress enough that sleep is so important for you. It improves your cognitive functioning and also enhances your mood, making it less likely that youâll get burnt out. Make sure to take power naps, too, if you feel like you need them.Â
You also really shouldnât pull all-nighters. Sleep is also involved in cementing memories in your brain, so if you study a little before you sleep, youâre bound to remember more than if you studied a chapter during an all nighter.
Having trouble sleeping? Hereâs a post I made about my night routine and how to get better sleep.
4. Cycle your study environments Your body and mind are bound to get tired from being in the same location for prolonged periods of time. The best way to fix that is to study in different places: at your desk, your backyard, the dining table, a cafe, a friendâs house, the library, etc.You should find a frequency that works for you. I like to switch it up every 2-3 days; some people change locations every week.
5. Eat well As Iâve mentioned before, healthy foods with protein, vitamins, and fiber greatly improve your mood and your physical health. Proper nutrition will give your brain the power it needs to push through. Also make sure not to skip meals; honestly youâll just end up feeling terrible afterwards.
6. Take frequent breaks Letâs face it, weâre human, weâre bound to get tired from studying for a long time. Taking breaks enables our brains to digest the information we just learned in a pace that works for it. Breaks also help us focus on something other than studying, so that when we do get back to it, weâll be ready to digest even more information.
7. Set realistic study goals Youâre gonna memorize all 500 pages of your biology textbook in one day? Good luck with that. Some of you might be compulsive studiers, but this kind of habit isnât very good for your brain or your physical health. Studies have shown that excess studying can lead to lower productivity, fatigue, and - you guessed it - burnout. In the end, this will result in lower academic performance, perhaps even in the long run. So instead of trying to study so much in one sitting or one day, break up your material into chunks.
8. Maintain your social life Wherever you lie on the introvert-extrovert spectrum, everyone needs social interaction once in a while. It keeps you sane and healthy. Go out with your friends, have a sleepover, or maybe even a study date.
9. Start the day right What we do in the morning can significantly affect our mood for the rest of the day. Sometimes we donât even feel like getting up in the morning, or doing anything that day. One thing you should do is create a morning routine you enjoy to jumpstart your day. Here are 8 Morning Habits for Productivity.
10. Think positive When weâre feeling burnt out, itâs hard to not think negatively about everything. In reality, that just makes our condition worse. So think positively! Start small, like congratulating yourself for getting out of bed today, and then work your way up to bigger accomplishments, like finishing 2 chapters of your textbook.
11. Keep a stress diary This is kind of a new concept for me, but itâs really great. How it works is that each day, you would write down all the things that made you stressed and how they made you stressed. This will help you identify the things youâre doing thatâs causing your burnout, e.g.
Too long study hours? take regular breaks
Too much time in the same place? cycle your study environment
Not eating properly? set aside time to eat healthy meals at least 2 times a day
Not doing the things you love? schedule in time for that, e.g. during your long breaks
Not getting enough human interaction? make a study group
Too much negative thinking? adopt a positive mindset (you can always start small)
Not getting enough sleep? fix your sleep schedule
And thatâs all I have for you guys this time. Hope these tips will help you manage your stress and study burnout whenever you have them. And if you have any questions, donât hesitate to drop an ask!

My medieval professor is a true mystic. He did his masters in Finland but ended up studying and teaching at Oxford, is apparently teaching us despite the people who fund his research project not allowing him to, has made multiple (presumable) jokes about being born in the 19th century despite looking like a 30-year-old, is a complete savage towards all the historical figures he speaks about, casually mentioned adapting some medieval texts into some kind of a play that the national opera performed (multiple times?) and he just generally looks like he just magically appeared on earth a few hundred years ago and is still trying to adapt to having a physical form thus looking constantly baffled
for visual aid he is awkwardly tall, only wears plaid or amazingly ugly sweaters (occasionally both) and has the most chaotic hair I have ever seen on a man
Everything Is Awful and Iâm Not Okay: questions to ask before giving up
Are you hydrated? Â If not, have a glass of water.
Have you eaten in the past three hours? Â If not, get some food â something with protein, not just simple carbs. Â Perhaps some nuts or hummus?
Have you showered in the past day? Â If not, take a shower right now.
If daytime: are you dressed? Â If not, put on clean clothes that arenât pajamas. Â Give yourself permission to wear something special, whether itâs a funny t-shirt or a pretty dress.
If nighttime: are you sleepy and fatigued but resisting going to sleep? Â Put on pajamas, make yourself cozy in bed with a teddy bear and the sound of falling rain, and close your eyes for fifteen minutes â no electronic screens allowed. Â If youâre still awake after that, you can get up again; no pressure.
Have you stretched your legs in the past day? Â If not, do so right now. Â If you donât have the spoons for a run or trip to the gym, just walk around the block, then keep walking as long as you please. Â If the weatherâs crap, drive to a big box store (e.g. Target) and go on a brisk walk through the aisles you normally skip.
Have you said something nice to someone in the past day? Â Do so, whether online or in person. Â Make it genuine; wait until you see something really wonderful about someone, and tell them about it.
Have you moved your body to music in the past day? Â If not, do so â jog for the length of an EDM song at your favorite BPM, or just dance around the room for the length of an upbeat song.
Have you cuddled a living being in the past two days? Â If not, do so. Â Donât be afraid to ask for hugs from friends or friendsâ pets. Â Most of them will enjoy the cuddles too; youâre not imposing on them.
Do you feel ineffective? Â Pause right now and get something small completed, whether itâs responding to an e-mail, loading up the dishwasher, or packing your gym bag for your next trip. Â Good job!
Do you feel unattractive? Â Take a goddamn selfie. Â Your friends will remind you how great you look, and youâll fight societyâs restrictions on what beauty can look like.
Do you feel paralyzed by indecision? Â Give yourself ten minutes to sit back and figure out a game plan for the day. Â If a particular decision or problem is still being a roadblock, simply set it aside for now, and pick something else that seems doable. Â Right now, the important part is to break through that stasis, even if it means doing something trivial.
Have you seen a therapist in the past few days? Â If not, hang on until your next therapy visit and talk through things then.
Have you been over-exerting yourself lately â physically, emotionally, socially, or intellectually? Â That can take a toll that lingers for days. Give yourself a break in that area, whether itâs physical rest, taking time alone, or relaxing with some silly entertainment.
Have you changed any of your medications in the past couple of weeks, including skipped doses or a change in generic prescription brand? Â That may be screwing with your head. Â Give things a few days, then talk to your doctor if it doesnât settle down.
Have you waited a week? Â Sometimes our perception of life is skewed, and we canât even tell that weâre not thinking clearly, and thereâs no obvious external cause. Â It happens. Â Keep yourself going for a full week, whatever it takes, and see if you still feel the same way then.
Youâve made it this far, and you will make it through. Â You are stronger than you think.
thank you so much

FORBIDDEN CAT ALCHEMY
People adding Nazi apologist shit onto my posts like âbut nazis invented cell phones and space rockets so without them weâd be less technologically advanced VuVâ like buddy, if you think for one second we wouldnât have eventually made it to the moon or made instant communication devices without mass genocide then I dunno what to tell you except to get the fuck away from me.
Your kind arenât welcome here.
Also would I âtradeâ my cell phone for a world with no Nazis?
Are. You. Fucking. Kidding. Me?!?!
Iâd trade my own life for a world without nazis. Fuck my phone. Fuck going to the moon. Human life should not be the cost of societal and technological progress.
What the fuck is wrong with you.
??? Weâd have probably had cellphones sooner given the amount of inventors, theorists and artists the nazis killed. Weâd have been to the moon sooner if we didnât have segregation. God only knows where weâd be if women were given the opportunity to invent sooner. Disabled people come up with cool stuff too. Itâs a whole new world of creation if you value human life equally!
*the sound of a thousand nuclear physicists laughing* Buckle up kids, today weâre talking about why the Nazis never invented the atom bomb. Weâre gonna do this
to white supremacist minds. Ok. So the Nazis were all about physics ⌠as long as it was with things you could see & touch. Rockets, improved motors, even radio tech (which gives tangible audio and/or visual results) were awesome and very good careers for good German boys. Theoretical physics, on the other hand, was viewed as made-up Jewish bullshit. The German scientific old guard did NOT like little punks like Einstein. Who did they think they were, running around with their âtime is relativeâ and âthe interstellar ether doesnât existâ and who the shit even cares whatâs INSIDE an atom, Albert, itâs not like the INSIDE does anything. JESUS. The Nazis saw modern physics as being the same thing as Freudâs psychology, Klimtâs modern art, and Kafkaâs stories: a decadent waste of time, way too Jewish, and definitely not cool or manly. So to combat uncool Jewish science, pro-Nazi German scientists founded an actual movementâ âDeutsche Physik/Aryan Physicsââ all about real stuff like engines and bombs and it was gonna serve the SHIT out of the fatherland. No Jews allowed.
âUgh, GROSS.â -Nazis Jewish nerds who wanted to study physics & engineering had to settle for theoretical physics. And boy did they ever. Niels Bohr, Hermann Minkowski, Wolfgang Pauli, Paul Epstein, James Franck, Rudolf Kompfner, Otto Stern, Leo Szilard, Edward Teller, Victor Weisskopf , Eugene Wigner, Frank and J. Robert Oppenheimer, and some dude named Albert Einstein among others were all turning their lemons into sweet, sticky theoretical physics lemonade in 1920s Germany. Every single one of them, and more, emigrated to the US in the 1930s. Jewish colleagues from Axis Italy, like Emilio Segrè and Enrico Fermiâ aka the guy who built the worldâs first nuclear reactor, and married to a Jewish womanâ joined the brain drain as Europe hemorrhaged nuclear physicists right into Americaâs warm, heaving, bloodthirsty bosom.Â
*artistâs renditionÂ
Albert Einsteinâs application to become a US citizen. Dated Jan 18th, 1936. The few Gentile nuclear physicists Germany had managed to produceâ Max Planck, Werner Heisenberg, and Arnold Sommerfeldâ were persecuted just for being into Jewish stuff. Like, âwere called out in the official SS newspaper for being âWhite Jewsââ and âHeisenbergâs mom called Himmlerâs mom and told her to tell Himmler to make the Nazis stop being mean to her boyâ-level persecuted. Thatâs right, these badass Reich science dudes couldnât even do their job without their moms running interference. THATâs how fucking great the Nazis were at science. Meanwhile the bright lights over in Deutsche Physik were talking about how thereâs actually been a bunch of moons and when of the last ones fell down it buried Atlantis and also the sunâs gravity suddenly stops at 3x the orbital radius of Neptune. Like⌠thank God for those Nazi scientific advances, amirite?
Nationalist German scientists cheerfully joined the persecution of their Jewish colleagues, because Nazi scientists just really wanted Jewish physicistsâ jobs. But the bummer was, the Nazi scientists couldnât handle the mathematics that made relativity work. They were too dumb to do that science. Lookâ weâve all been there. But the nationalist German scientistsâ approach wasâ instead of leveling up their game, just discredit everything their rivals did. Declare it dumb, and made-up, and all the good parts of this stuff we just said was dumb and made-up were already invented by Aryans anyway, so why keep Jewish scientists around? Just forget about this atomic physics crap and keep giving us money to talk shit about Neptune, itâll be great.
âHahaha wut?â -Nazis Eventually the Third Reich figured out that atom bombs were a thing and they should probably make one. They put Heisenbergâ who, if youâll recall, just had to have his mom call in an anti-bullying PSA to the Fuhrerâs secretary three short paragraphs agoâ in charge. With every single other person who knew about nuclear fission having left Germany years ago, Heisenberg was pretty much on his own. The Nazi bomb project went nowhere. A Nazi Germany with nuclear weapons would been able to do whatever the fuck they wanted. The only thing that stood in their way? Their own. goddamn. antisemitism.
Director of Los Alamos weapons lab and Jewish American, J. Robert Oppenheimer, seen in profile as he oversees final assembly of the Trinity test bomb. Trinity was the first test detonation in the US nuclear weapons program. (x) Is this a post in support of atom bombs? No. This is a post about how being so high on your own inferiority complex that youâre down to murder people smarter than you, will fuck you in assholes you didnât even know you had.Â
Thank you, Science Tumblr, for that deconstruction of Nazi bullshit.
This is excellent as is, but, I need to point out that the USA political situation is in many ways falling into this same hole now. We are becoming xenophobic and anti science at our top political level. The GOP is practically anti reality at this point. We need to fix this.
Holy shit, this is the best addition to any of my posts.Â

Optional: drink coffee before your nap - something that takes a short while to consume like a shot of espresso - so that youâll feel alert and revitalized afterwards!
2. Take a shower A cold one will wake you up, but a warm one will calm you down. I suggest starting with warm water, then ending with cold water.
3. Exercise Whether itâs playing soccer or doing yoga, the important thing is to get moving! Exercise releases endorphins or happy hormones that help you combat stress.
4. Run a quick errand This will help take your mind off things while also getting something done! Youâll also end up walking, which is technically a form of exercise.
5. Call or visit a friend Sometimes what weâre lacking is social interaction, and hanging out with a friend definitely helps. Whether itâs providing you with a distraction or giving emotional support, your friends are always there to help you. Plus, science has shown that being with friends reduces your cortisol (stress hormone) levels.
6. Eat a snack Preferably a healthy one. Eat something with proteins, vitamins, and fibers to boost your mood. Hereâs a list of mood boosting foods.
7. Surf the web This requires A TON of discipline, but itâs definitely a game changer. Surfing the web is one of the most relaxing things you could do. I personally look for a good laugh during my study breaks, so Iâd watch a comedy or scroll through memes to get those happy hormones up and running.
8. Do an activity you find interesting, e.g. a hobby We all need happiness in our lives, and our hobbies are perhaps the best way to find that joy. You could sit down with a page turning adventure, or go outside and shoot hoops, or listen to a podcast, or even bullet journal, as long as youâre having a good time.
9. Listen to music Music is one of the ways we gain energy, so I always make time for it during the day. However, you should choose the right music, because not all the music you love is going to make you feel energized. For me, itâs pop punk with hard hitting beats, thundering guitars, and really upbeat, enthusiastic vocals. Some of you might be energized by mellow music with dreamy vocals that make you feel like youâre floating in the clouds. If you choose the wrong music, you might just end up feeling sluggish and drained.
10. Get some fresh air Your brain needs 20% of the oxygen in your body. Fresh air brings more oxygen to your brain so that you can think more clearly, feel less tired, and concentrate more easily.
How do I make sure I donât get it in the future?
Avoiding study burnout in the long term has a lot to do with our study habits - as well as our daily habits. We need to make sure that our bodies and minds receive the things they need, and that we arenât overworking them.
1. Study a little at a time Break up your notes into smaller, more easily digestible pieces and learn a little at a time. This way, youâre not overwhelming your brain, and you have time to let that new knowledge settle in.
2. Time management Having a good study schedule is crucial in preventing burnout. You donât want to force yourself to work at your slow hours. Aside from that, you definitely shouldnât leave things until the last minute, and sticking to a schdule will help you pace yourself. Hereâs a post I wrote on How to Make an Efficient Revision Schedule and How to Beat Procrastination.
3. Get enough rest I cannot stress enough that sleep is so important for you. It improves your cognitive functioning and also enhances your mood, making it less likely that youâll get burnt out. Make sure to take power naps, too, if you feel like you need them.Â
You also really shouldnât pull all-nighters. Sleep is also involved in cementing memories in your brain, so if you study a little before you sleep, youâre bound to remember more than if you studied a chapter during an all nighter.
Having trouble sleeping? Hereâs a post I made about my night routine and how to get better sleep.
4. Cycle your study environments Your body and mind are bound to get tired from being in the same location for prolonged periods of time. The best way to fix that is to study in different places: at your desk, your backyard, the dining table, a cafe, a friendâs house, the library, etc.You should find a frequency that works for you. I like to switch it up every 2-3 days; some people change locations every week.
5. Eat well As Iâve mentioned before, healthy foods with protein, vitamins, and fiber greatly improve your mood and your physical health. Proper nutrition will give your brain the power it needs to push through. Also make sure not to skip meals; honestly youâll just end up feeling terrible afterwards.
6. Take frequent breaks Letâs face it, weâre human, weâre bound to get tired from studying for a long time. Taking breaks enables our brains to digest the information we just learned in a pace that works for it. Breaks also help us focus on something other than studying, so that when we do get back to it, weâll be ready to digest even more information.
7. Set realistic study goals Youâre gonna memorize all 500 pages of your biology textbook in one day? Good luck with that. Some of you might be compulsive studiers, but this kind of habit isnât very good for your brain or your physical health. Studies have shown that excess studying can lead to lower productivity, fatigue, and - you guessed it - burnout. In the end, this will result in lower academic performance, perhaps even in the long run. So instead of trying to study so much in one sitting or one day, break up your material into chunks.
8. Maintain your social life Wherever you lie on the introvert-extrovert spectrum, everyone needs social interaction once in a while. It keeps you sane and healthy. Go out with your friends, have a sleepover, or maybe even a study date.
9. Start the day right What we do in the morning can significantly affect our mood for the rest of the day. Sometimes we donât even feel like getting up in the morning, or doing anything that day. One thing you should do is create a morning routine you enjoy to jumpstart your day. Here are 8 Morning Habits for Productivity.
10. Think positive When weâre feeling burnt out, itâs hard to not think negatively about everything. In reality, that just makes our condition worse. So think positively! Start small, like congratulating yourself for getting out of bed today, and then work your way up to bigger accomplishments, like finishing 2 chapters of your textbook.
11. Keep a stress diary This is kind of a new concept for me, but itâs really great. How it works is that each day, you would write down all the things that made you stressed and how they made you stressed. This will help you identify the things youâre doing thatâs causing your burnout, e.g.
Too long study hours? take regular breaks
Too much time in the same place? cycle your study environment
Not eating properly? set aside time to eat healthy meals at least 2 times a day
Not doing the things you love? schedule in time for that, e.g. during your long breaks
Not getting enough human interaction? make a study group
Too much negative thinking? adopt a positive mindset (you can always start small)
Not getting enough sleep? fix your sleep schedule
And thatâs all I have for you guys this time. Hope these tips will help you manage your stress and study burnout whenever you have them. And if you have any questions, donât hesitate to drop an ask!
