Get yourself a planner, stick in all your to-do lists, make a vision board cover, write in everything you need to remember, want to think about or must complete. Or, get a Notion, make it aesthetic and build the habit of opening it every day. Use lots of light, blush pinks and pastel greens, make a colour-code and treat yourself to highlighters in your favourite colour combos. The better of an overview you have of your life, the less anxiety and stress the unknown brings you. Protect your peace.

Make some matcha, reapply lip gloss, tidy your desk, let your hair down. Do some stretching or sit in the sun for some vitamin D. Put on classical music and write in your diary, decorate with pink highlighter and gold gel-pen stars. Make your timetable on Canva in your favourite aesthetic. Jog or jump rope to get your heart rate up, feel energised and refreshed.

Light that vanilla-scented candle, get yourself a warm drink and some almonds, or grapes, or cookies. Put on some pink noise or soft instrumentals. Let the sunlight in. Put on a study with me, or a cute pomodoro timer on Youtube. Lay out your work and pens neatly.

Listen in class, make pretty notes. Sit up straight, ask and answer questions. Girl, just do your assignments the day they are assigned. Keep a spotless homework record. Use pink flashcards, do your past papers, write practice essays about things and stories you love. Keep your head up high, even if your grades don't match your standards. Keep improving and growing.

Study because you like expensive things. Study because you have a dream. Study because you yearn for knowledge. Do it because you love yourself and won't settle for anything but the best future. Do it for your family, so one day you can take your parents to Rome or Paris. Give your best so that your teachers can feel proud of themselves. Learn because you want to, not because you have to.

tips on how to get out of a reading slump?
Tips on how to get out of a reading slump π
Start small. Look for a short stories book that fits your preferred genres, or for a really short novel (under 200 pages). Something that you'd be able to read in one sitting, if you really get into it, or two days of leisurely reading. Short stories are better for this, in my opinion, because you'll get more punch for your buck. Poetry is also a good option for this, if poetry is your thing.
Switch it up completely. Maybe your slump means that you're tired of reading the same genres with similar plotlines. Try reading something that is completely new, completely different from what you usually read. Different genres, or something by an author from a very foreign country to you, or a different demographic... Just run to the opposite direction.
Get off the mainstream. If you get your book recs from social media, it's very likely that you'll end up reading pretty much the same book over and over, because book bloggers and vloggers usually talk about what will get more engagement, and these are mainstream reads. Try getting out of these environments and look for books that are "off the scene", books that aren't necessarily the most popular ones but that look interesting.
Don't read the book before you read the book. There's a big trend nowadays of people who read books seeking particular tropes, pairings and plotlines, which means they have to know what the book is about before even starting it. If you also do that, try stopping it and instead just pick up books with as little previous knowledge as possible. You can even judge a book by its cover! Let the book surprise you instead of trying to like it before you read it. On that note...
If it's not fun, drop it. It's completely fine to drop a book if you're not enjoying it, and you don't have to force yourself to finish everything you started! It doesn't matter if everyone else on your feed loved that book and is talking about it non-stop: if it doesn't captivate you, let it go and grab another one. Trying to force yourself to finish uninteresting books is a sure recipe for slumping.
Stop the bookblring for a while. If you're active on social media writing reviews and blogging about literature, you may want to give that a pause if you're in a slump. You may be looking at reading more as a chore or a job than an enjoyable activity of leisure and fun, trying to read what you think your followers will enjoy or what will get the most views and clicks instead of what you will enjoy reading. Try reading more for yourself, privately, if you think this may be the case.
Read a classic. If you're the type who reads more contemporary books, try going back in time towards the literature that set the foundation for what gets written nowadays. This may help rekindle your interest because you'll feel connected to something so much larger than life; people who have been dead for centuries felt like you felt, enjoyed what you enjoyed, laughed and cried along with you through the streams of time and space.
Try writing. If you don't write already, give it a shot. Perhaps what you're really looking for is a story that is within you rather than in the pages available to you. Don't do it with the intent of publishing it or even showing it to anyone else: write for yourself, write something you'd enjoy reading, and do read it!
That's all I have for now, but feel free to add more tips on the replies, as well as book recommendations if you have any. I hope these are helpful to you β₯οΈ
