Dealing With Executive Dysfunction - A Masterpost

Mini Check In August 19, 2023 🎀

So I haven't gotten tested because it's the weekend for me, but based on my current symptoms, there's a good chance I have the vid-19. Which is really not fun, but at least I've been dealing with it a bit. I left work early on Friday and am not able to work today thru Monday, which could potentially cost me my job, but fingers crossed.

I am currently looking to apply for a different job on my university campus, and I already know I'll get the job after I apply (my way of manifesting, lol). It'll be nice to do something a little different than my current job, for sure.

I'm going to try to get back to my regularly scheduled posts and routines as soon as I find myself in better health. I feel bad not posting, but I've also been resting a ton to try and heal faster. But yeah, I currently feel like -12/10 in gems of physical health.

Fingers crossed, I'm better by Tuesday! I have my first cooking class on Tuesday evening, so hopefully I am better and can attend because the professor for that class is amazing!

Also, thank you guys for 150+ followers! Just a few weeks ago, when I started taking my blog seriously, I only had 7 followers so having over 150 now is incredible! I appreciate all of you so much <333

That's all for today! Til next time, lovelies!! 🩷

Day 26: 90 Day Challenge 🎀

Yesterday (Monday) was my 21st birthday and I honestly actually did nothing. I ordered myself food, revieved flowers from my boyfriend, and stayed in bed all day. I didn't do any skincare, I was in sweatpants all day, and I actually cried for an hour in the morning because i typically don't like my birthday and tend to get emotional every year.

Not much to really talk about, so consider this my day 26 update.

I will update on today either tonight or tomorrow.

I feel like that'd be a good idea!

I love receiving DMs from other blogs telling me how motivational and inspiring I am! it makes me happy every day. I am so happy when I read those messages. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, I love the community I've found here on tumblr. You guys are amazing.

90 Day Challenge - Intro

Hello! I've decided that I'm going to start a semi personalized 90-day challenge to help keep myself on track with my productivity! I will have certain goals I want to achieve, and the whole goal of this in general, like my desired outcome, is to build some more positive, healthy, productive habits! I'm going to set in place some rules for myself for this challenge!

🩷 Rules for 90 Day Challenge 🩷

Must post an update to my blog every day as a way to keep myself accountable

2 goals per category per day MINIMUM

4 goals per category per day MAXIMUM

Be honest with yourself and on this blog!

Be mindful and compassionate towards yourself in regards to time and energy

Here are the categories:

🏋‍♀️ Physical Health

🧠 Mental Health

❤️ Emotional Health

📚 Intellectual Health

🥳 Social Health

🥰 Self Love/Care

I will post every evening/night with what I accomplished for that day and what I plan to accomplish tomorrow.

*I will lump some things together. such as "complete 3 assignments" instead of listing every assignment. and there will be some overlap, as some days I might take a walk for physical health but other days do that for mental health, etc.

This is a pretty lofty challenge for me, and there will be some repeat goals (like studying japanese, doing homework, skincare, etc) but this will definitely give me som direction in my days so I'm excited!

I'll upload my first post of the challenge soon after this as I want to start today! I'll start with my goals for today and then upload tonight as mentioned earlier.

I'm excited to share this with you all!

Daily Check-in: Dec 16th 2024 🎀

Made the beginning of a check in for Sunday, saved it to drafts, and now I can't remember a single thing I did on Sunday besides cry from anxiety. Yesterday was good tho, despite honestly not doing much. Being on break is always so difficult for me. I begin to lack energy, motivation, and discipline, and it leaves me feeling very negative about myself. Hopefully I can turn that around soon.

🩷 What I Accomplished

studied Japanese in my Genki I workbook for ~22min

cooked chicken for dinner

took a nap

worked in my 2025 artist of life workbook journal to set up for next year

saved some photos to print for my 2025 vision board + set some goals

zoom called my boyfriend

showered + did my hair oiling/hair care routine

morning journal

💔 What Could've Gone Better

laid in bed for honestly most of the day

over ate a bit

didn't work out

didn't do my skincare at all

didn't journal at night

had to reschedule breakfast with my dad due to anxiety

skipped an online appointment

overall felt really bad about how I spent my day

💕 ToDo Today (Tuesday, 17th)

Japanese + Spanish study tasks from yesterday and today

email therapist about rescheduling Friday's appointment to earlier this week

call physical therapy and cancel Friday's appointment (I'm getting my nails done on Friday and so is one of my roommates so that's why I gotta move stuff around on Friday)

apply for 2 more internships for the summer

morning + night skincare (use a face mask tonight)

morning + night journaling

eat more mindfully

play with my cat a little bit

more work in the artist of life workbook

YouTube pilates workouts

wash makeup brushes

Here's to hoping I follow through with this list today. I'm tired of not keeping promises to myself.

What's The Best Way To Split Up Language Learning When Learning 2+ Languages At The Same Time?

For example, I'm currently studying Spanish and Korean and will be re adding Japanese in a few months. I currently try to do specific days for specific languages but find myself doing a little of both a day.

My Current Goals and Habits I wish to Achieve

Workout for 30+ min daily

Drink 100+ oz of water daily

Read 30+ min OR 10+ pages of a self help book daily

Skincare routine both morning and night

Guided journal both morning and night

Daily journaling once a day

Meditate for 5+ min daily

Make my bed every morning

Stretch for 5-10 min daily

Sleep at least 7+ hours a night

I currently am working full time this summer until university resumes classes in August, and I am worn out by the time I get home, but that is not going to stop me from achieving these things! I plan on utilizing my mornings before work the most since I know I'll be incredibly tired afterward.

The collage image shown is not my own work! It was taken from pinterest!! Will be using my own images here soon!!

Daily Check-in: October 12th, 2023 🎀

Today has been a lazy yet somewhat decent day? There's not much to complain about. Besides the fact that I didn't do a single homework assignment, I'm exhausted, so that's alright. I did do a decent amount of Japanese studying today though I didn't open up my Genki Textbook like I had wanted to but oh well, there's always tomorrow!

🩷 What I Ate Today -

Brunch - Spaghetti with ground Turkey and meat sauce

Dinner - Taco bowl with ground beef, black beans, shredded cheese, shredded lettuce, sour cream, a small dollop of avocado, and red salsa with 1.5 low carb tortillas

Snack - bunny tracks ice cream, 16oz bottle of Dr pepper

Extra - 4? cups of coffee (or 5, I can't remember)

I was not very productive today in terms of academic progress, but I still feel like I did what I could given my energy levels. (and caffiene intake). Did not eat the healthiest, but I listened to my body, and honestly, not every day will be perfect, and that's okay!

🩷 Personal Achievements, Oct 12th -

cooked ground beef (leftovers woooo!!)

washed dirty laundry

put away all clean clothes

did my therapy phone call

video called my boyfriend

morning + night skincare

completed 2 duolingo lessons

completed 1 busuu lesson

completed 3 kanji lessons

typed up one draft for upcoming blog post

I had heard about an app called Kanji that teaches you kanji based on JLPT Levels, and I actually really like it, so I bought access to all levels for 11$ USD!! feel like that's a fair price for over 2000 kanji, and I'm excited to start expanding my Japanese knowledge. Also, I am trying out the LingQ app. It's pretty interesting and seems useful for reading practice! I don't know why I got such a kick to study japanese but I am not complaining!!

No Academic Achievements for Today

🩷 Personal ToDo, Oct 13th -

Review previous 3 kanji lessons

Complete 1 duolingo lesson

Complete 1 busuu lesson

Continue Genki I Lesson one (?)

Giving myself a lot of school work to complete tomorrow but that's okay because I have the day off from work so I know I'll be able to get a lot of it done, if not all of it! I'm hoping I sleep decently tonight so I can wake up ready to rule the world tomorrow. My goal is to wake up early, workout, shower, do some makeup and get ready, and be on campus early to get back into the school mindset because I know I've been slacking these last two days. I work a double shift on Saturday, so tomorrow is really the ideal time to finish everything as much as possible.

🩷 Song of the Day: Fearless, Jp Version - Le Sserafim

This has been my anthem lately. It's catchy, and I kind of prefer this to the original version in Korean, but that's a bit biased on my end as I am studying Japanese at the moment.

🩷 Tomorrow Morning Workout - Pilates

Even if I only finish the first video, I will be proud of myself. It's the effort that counts, and it's definitely gonna be a start! I will be posting an updated current workout schedule with routines soon!!

That's all for now! I will update tomorrow night!

Til next time, lovelies 🩷
