good morning!!! happy wednesday 🌸 we had our adcon this morning. our lectures were asynch so I had my car cleaned and now I’m staying at my fave café studying before my afternoon lecture. 2 days left before clerkship ends!!!!! 🎀

hi, sorry if this is a random ask, but do you have any advice for wasting less time between studying sessions? i'm a big fan of pomodoro so I know I am getting 5 hours of work done, but it seems to take me eight or nine hours to do it

so sorry i got to this late, i didn't see it in my inbox !! oh gosh, this is such a good question because i always feel like i'm wasting time in between studying sessions. for me, i force myself to do a few things, which i feel like have helped me these past few years:

go to a slightly uncomfortable place with a few goals to achieve, usually a café or casual restaurant. this is why i'm always at cafés instead of the library or my room—if i study at a place that's too comfortable, i find myself wasting more time. if i'm at a café, i feel pressured to stay no more than 2 hours (a little more if i get another drink!) so i end up trying to finish my tasks as soon as possible because i don't want to spend more money than i have to. i usually go to the library at night when cafés are closed

dress up (makeup, cute outfit + heeled boots, the whole nine yards). i find myself more productive when i'm feeling pretty and good about myself. there's been scientific studies about it! if i'm too chill in pjs or sweats, i find that i'm too relaxed and spend more time scrolling on my phone during breaks. this sounds silly but i'm extremely dressed up when i take exams—someone asked me why i was wearing red lipstick for our financial accounting exam lolol. but i felt confident and it translates! i actually don't even own any sweats anymore haha

if you're not feeling productive at night, just call it a night and start again early in the morning. i'm admittedly a night owl but if it's like 2 a.m. and i just find myself scrolling on twitter and feeling shitty about not being productive, i just call it a night and start again the next morning :))

hope this helps !!

Growth takes time 🪴 remember that when you’re feeling discouraged about your progress or where you are at now, and it applies to all areas of your life!

Hey, long time no see!

I try to post more regularly, but it’s really stressful lately. I’m still working on my bachelors thesis, the experiments do not seem to come to an end. I really struggle with my adhd atm and just try to hold every together :’)

Let’s see what the next weeks bring!
