12.09.23 ⭐︎ 36/100 Days Of Productivity

📖07.09.23📖

Another busy study day in SK. Got in another five study chapters and took the scenic route to a new favourite café! Also almost finished another physical read but got horrendously distracted by my criminal minds rewatch...

📖 = Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan

🎧 = To You by Seventeen

These are the books I’ve ordered few weeks ago, I’m already excited! I also joined an online book club and our first read of the month is a classic by Ovid, the myth of Icarus and Daedalus from the metamorphoses (book viii). I knew this poem already because I’m a Greek-Roman mythology enthusiastic but I’ve never read it before now and I admit it was such a good reading! I’m gonna buy the physical book soon because I can’t wait to read more of Ovid’s poems.

Set Up a Study Space Your bed should not be your study space! Find a place with:

Little distractions ie no tv, no loud noises, etc.

Everything you need: all your supplies and stationery

The right temperature, too cold & you’ll lose focus, too hot & you’ll feel sleepy

Snacks, so you won’t have to keep going away from your desk

Water: stay hydrated !!

Exercise Before studying. It will boost your energy levels and help keep you focused.  You don’t have to do a full workout or anything, try going for a quick walk!!

Know your Goal And how you’re going to achieve it! If you know your goal it will be so much easier to stay on task. Perhaps have a reminder of what you aspire to do or the grades you want on the wall in front of you so it’s what you see when you look up!

Try Some Background Noise It will help block out other noises and help you stay focused!

May was exhausting tbh. The constant change of temperature and a lot of travelling/ commuting did get to me and unfortunately this probably won't change in June. But I got a new plant friend for my desk! 🌿 And I also read the best book I've read this year, so far! 📖
