Study Break!

painted nails and added stickers

experimented (largely unsuccessfully) with DIY beauty products

rewatched What's New Scooby Doo for the nostalgia

finally finished my hmc crochet blanket

played a lot of Hello Kitty Island Adventure

73 days until finals (okay typing that actually made my stomach do a nervous flip)

Just a chill day of looking over notes and making new ones. I’m moving into contract this week which is BY FAR my weakest subject, since I studied it 3 years ago at this point (what?!)

Wish me luck ⭐️

"reprogram your brain for consistency, not intensity"

Log: 17th March

regular housekeeping tasks

research work 2P

read journal papers

evening walk

Cut the dopamine supply. Work in short, controlled bursts (20-30 minutes max) — even when you feel like working longer. Leave tasks unfinished. This forces your brain to stay engaged in the background without burning out. Delay gratification. After each session, step away. Don’t check results or keep pushing. Low-dopamine environment. Limit phone use, social media, and even music that triggers a dopamine spike.

Also, using citation software that completely mangles the imported information so you have to do it manually anyway

i had little to no motivation to do anything last week, but got a lot of my motivation back this week. constantly reminding myself that - especially with adhd - motivation follows action, not the other way around. also had a lovely couple of cafe study sessions with my sibling and my mum.
