34/100 days of productivity

a bad anxiety day today, with my final manuscript deadline tonight. i managed to get it in early so i can spend lots of time relaxing tonight 

getting ready to take some more notes! kittens are snoozing on my bed behind me and i’ve got some classical music playing. this is the perfect afternoon!

02052020 | phonetics and … logic?

still hammering away at ipa (and trying to practice those ‘handwritten As’). meanwhile, i was finally able to work out more difficult truth tables….i couldn’t even understand them in undergrad!

I cannot speak well enough to be unintelligible.

🦉my day off in a nutshell | posting more on my instagram account lately, do you have a studygram? tell me in the comments and i will check it out. mine is: thomreads

coffee break || i learned how to make gifs from video in photoshop, so here’s my first go at it!

When you are balancing classes, homework, extracurriculars, and a full/part time job, it can be hard to find the necessary time to look after yourself. The important thing is to make good use of the small chances you get during the day! I’ve broken it up into time chunks, to make it easier.

Two Minutes

Brush your teeth/hair etc

Wash your face, or splash cold water on it

Drink a glass of water

Stretch! (especially if you've been sitting down for awhile)

Five Minutes

Take the stairs!

Jumping jacks/squats (I do them all the time behind the counter at work!)

Take a break and eat a piece of fruit

Ten Minutes

Walk instead of bussing

Reapply sunscreen if needed

Take a power nap if you need one

Do a short meditation

Twenty Minutes

Find a short yoga routine on youtube

Go for a quick run

Take a longer nap

Write in a journal/ Notebook if that's your thing

Thirty Minutes

Workout

Do a full yoga routine

Run/walk around your block a few times

Take the time to prepare a special, healthy snack for yourself!

One Hour or More

Workout weights or cardio

Tidy your room/ office space

Catch up on other duties (to relieve stress)

Prepare a meal and make enough for a lunch the next day

As its summer in half of the world, I’d like to remind my friends in the northern hemisphere that health in the heat means drinking cold liquids to stay hydrated, wearing sunscreen to prevent burns and skin damage, and spending time in the shade throughout the day! 

Take Care of Yourselves!
