Productivity - Blog Posts

Hey 🌸˚˖⋆, so lately I've been thinking of ways to romanticize my college experience and decluttering and re-organizing my digital space with Notion has been helping with this.
What is your favorite kind of aesthetic for Notion.
So, today was a really productive day. I studied for more than 4 hours in a row, without considering the lectures that I had in the morning, there's my forest at the end of the post, it helps me to feel productive when I see the trees, someone else feels the same way?. Also, I started a future learn course about dementia today and I'm super excited about it. A miracle happened today, I had a psychoanalysis group test in which for the first time this semester my group help me to answer instead of being mute on the breakroom. In the other hand I didn't sleep too much last night but who cares, I'm proud of myself.
I hope every one of you is safe and have a nice day💫
Good news! You CAN rewire your brain. Through the same mechanism as forming habits, you can change your automatic thought patterns. When you catch yourself with unhealthy thoughts, STOP, and make a conscious effort to replace that thought pattern with a more beneficial/healthy thought pattern. Keep doing that whenever those thoughts occur. Slowly but surely your mind’s default voice will match what you’re teaching it.

The Best Strategies for Achieving Work-Life Balance in a Fast-Paced World
In today's fast-paced environment, balancing work and life can feel like an impossible juggling act. But, with the right strategies, it is achievable—and essential for long-term success and well-being. Here are some tried-and-true strategies to help you maintain balance: 1. Prioritize & Delegate: Focus on high-impact tasks. Let go of perfectionism and delegate where possible—whether in the office or at home. 2. Set boundaries: Protect your time. Communicate clearly about your work hours and learn to say no when necessary. 3. Time Management: To increase productivity, use time-blocking or the Pomodoro technique. Structure your day with a balance of work and relaxation. 4. Unplug & recharge: Regular breaks are essential. Take time away from screens to reset, refocus, and maintain energy. 5. Self-Care: Physical and mental well-being are vital. Whether exercise, mindfulness, or hobbies, make time for activities that recharge you. 6. Embrace Flexibility: Remote work and flexible hours are powerful tools. Use them to create a workflow that suits your lifestyle and responsibilities. Work-life balance isn't about perfection—it’s about creating harmony. Leaders, managers, and professionals who prioritize it build more resilient, innovative teams. It’s not just good for business—it’s good for life. 🌟 What strategies have worked best for you? Share your thoughts below!

“I always get to where I am going by walking away from where I have been” - A. A. Milne
If I’m honest, I’m really struggling to find motivation. I don’t know why, I’m just not doing well. I’ve been feeling so distant and tired (if anyone maybe has an idea why please say). Today, I’m going to try to change that.
The quote above is really useful when I need motivation, as it reminds me starting and making any progress is still getting me to my goals.
Here is a list of things I would like to get done:
A-level Physics Specimen Paper 2
A-level Physics 2017 Paper 2
A-level Physics 2018 Paper 2
A-level Biology 2017 Paper 1
A-level Biology 2018 Paper 1
Obviously, this is quite a lot, but as long as I get ~3 done I’ll be happy.
I’m going to go get some breakfast, and I’ll update later on how I’m getting on. Wish me luck!

I'm working by the fire because it is so cold today
59/100 days of productivity: I am not doing interesting things recently. I try to prepare my entrance examination (I don't know how to explain : the exam for engineering school admittance) This is my French revision because it is a bit aesthetic next to what I do recently. Through I am feeling really nervous, there are so much thing to know (and only a little I actually know). It's exactly in a week and I can't sleep well : I spend my days working and I suppose that's not even sufficient. I have an oral exam for a school in May : I'm happy about it, I mean my report (I don't know if it is the right words) might interest them if they want to see me, though I also don't know at all what they will ask : it's 3hours long ! I already can't wait the end of it. Also we go in holiday with my class after the exam which will be really cool I guess.
53/100 days of productivity: I don't have a lot of things to post. I revise all days long and that is not really photogenic. But today my mother bring me flower, so I needed to take a picture I will also wear new glasses because my view changed due to working a lot. So take care of your eyes !
That is actually 2 years of flashcards. It look enormous. I'm so proud of it, it help me revise quickly ! Also I made notes for technical drawings, I don't have flashcards anymore but a piece of paper do the job. Also it's ??/100 days of productivity but miss the count.
44/100 days of productivity: So in the beginning of this school year I made those notes in many chapters. Now I found their usefulness. Also I have stomach ache but this won't stop me to work even if I'm better in my bed.
42/100 days of productivity: Today I started my revisions weeks. I revised 17 chapters. I can tell you that I'm now totally exhausted ! However I took numerous break, I even went for a walk because I couldn't stay concentrate. Anyway I am really proud ! Also I have that new mug which is so cool (even if it's with male pronoun) and I guess I will take weight during those 2 weeks because I drink and eat so much ! (I bought could snacks to stay motivated)
41/100 days of productivity: Tomorrow I will start my revisions weeks. So to motivate me I go to bed early, put cream and read few chapters. I should finish this game of thrones book a long time ago but I never have time to read anymore with all my homeworks. I haven't read a book since my French class books I guess. But I did bought books anyway.
39/100 days of productivity: Planning my revision weeks. I use code colouring to know which chapters are important and which one are less important or already known. It last me a lot of time to list every one of it.
38/100 days of productivity: My teacher are all trying to finish in time. It's like my third maths lesson of the week.
36/100 days of productivity: I do eat out of lunch time, let's pretend it's because studying makes me hungry. However these are only fruits after all.
35/100 days of productivity: Working outside feel good ! I've planned my revision weeks. I already feel stressed, there is so much things to revise/learn in such a short period !
33/100 days of productivity: Learning physics for my exam tomorrow. It's my last one (I hope ! 5/2 is not for me)
32/100 days of productivity: My schedule changed a lot this week and this is even worse next week. I feel completely out of my routine. There is so much things to know in this course that I decided to use a 4A paper than my usual A5 Bristol paper.
30/100 days of productivity: Bullet journal pages about engineering schools entrance examination
25/100 days of productivity: Revising 2 years of computer science right now. There were things I've already forgotten.
22/100 days of productivity: Today was so stressful: I had 2 kholles. A kholle is a specific oral exam in french school system particularly in preparatory class. A kind of equivalent seems to be tutorial. I'm not totally sure about it though. Anyway, I was so exhausted after it that I came for a walk and come back an hour later for my last class of the day where I was not productive at all. Back home, I had an assignment which involved watching videos about fluid studies. That was funny. PS: I am totally left handed. I mean, I can't use my right hand like other left handed do. I always use my left hand to use a mouse which seems to be usual for a lot of people.
23/100 days of productivity: I have so much to do this week. I will try to do as much as I can, but honestly I must make choice on what is optional.
21/100 days of productivity: Time run so fast, I'm totally nervous about school. I spend my whole Sunday working on various assignments. Tomorrow is the deadline to register engineer' school. I am so nervous even if I finished yesterday.
18/100 days of productivity: Fiches d'informatique parce que "spoiler y a de l'informatique aux concours" et maths.
17/100 days of productivity: Bake some cakes for my class today. Bought new black pens because this is the time again when all my pen are dying. Spent hours on my oral presentation's power point, made physics notes and exercices.
15/100 days of productivity: Learning learning learning While finishing my DM I made a chai tea latte : my favorite brevage by far right now.
14/100 days of productivity: Worked all day long. I did 2 DM ( long and more difficult exercice than usual ) today. My boyfriend helped me for the second and we are quite a nice team together.
Day 8: Learning my French lessons, using my new highlighters . It's cool sometime to do something else than science.
