how to stay motivated long-term
trust, me i know that long-term motivation and consistency is hard. long-term motivation might be difficult to maintain, but there are effective techniques to help you stay focused and determined. whether you're seeking personal ambitions, academic achievements, or professional success, here are some strategies to help encourage motivation:
understand the reason behind your goal
☆ does your goal contribute to personal growth or meaningful relationships?
☆ how does your goal impact others?
☆ is your goal meaningful to you?
if your goal lacks meaning, it may be hard to maintain motivation.
positive and negative motivation
motivation can come from different places
☆ positive motivation: the desire to experience pleasure
☆ negative motivation: the desire to avoid something (an outcome)
both types of motivation have their place, so learn to recognise what type fits in where. (post on this coming soon)
set up systems
use your initial motivation to set up structures:
☆ create routines, systems and habits that help you towards your goal even when your motivation fluctuates
☆ when your emotions wane, rely on these systems and disciplines to maintain momentum
break down goals
☆ tackle one goal at a time to avoid feeling overwhelmed
☆ set achievable milestones and celebrate each step forward
☆ keep the momentum going by focusing on manageable tasks
validate good work
☆ give yourself a little reward, or thank yourself, for completing hard tasks
☆ this reinforces motivation and encourages effort
remember--motivation isn't in a constant state, it ebbs and flows. these small tips will help to stay motivated. i'm going to provide more information in upcoming posts, and i will link them here once they are published.
luck on your journey ❤️

Friendly Reminder
that you dont need to study everyday to be "productive" or "studyblr". You are allowed to have entire days for yourself. Not more toxic productivity aka driving yourself to burn-out

any suggestions on how reduce screen time and stop wasting time on social media?
a hard one (who doesnt spend a little bit too much in their phones) but a few ideas to try out
A widget on your phone about how much screen time you had. A lot of phones come with this option, it lets you know how much time you spend entirently on your phone and usually, the top 3 most used apps of the day. There is nothing that makes one feel more guilty than going to watch tiktok and next to the app there is widget that tells you you already spend 2hours and 30 minutes on it that day.
Social media feeds are made to be addictive, that's why you open the app to see a notification and end up spending 3 hours on it. If you think something like "I'm just going to see if my crush posted a story" or "I'll see how my lastest post did and then i'll do the homework" DONT. You'll open the app with the intention of only 5 minutes and we all know it isnt going to be 5 minutes.
Set alarms. Set a "goal" like, only using it for 20 minutes. Set the alarm in your phone and when it sounds, close the app.
Try other activities. We mostly go to our phones because we are bored. Go on a walk, clean you room, cook cookies, read a book, draw, talk to someone irl. Look for alternatives. Some of them will be difficult at start (social media is known for ruining attention span and things like reading requiere that), do it gradually.
Hope this helps!

study tips i made instead of studying
first and foremost, do as i say not as i do (as in don't post study tips on tumblr when you have seven tests to study for)
make it aesthetic, that's always super motivating. put a playlist in the background like the "you're a princess researching about your mother while trying to overthrow your father" or "solving a mystery in your elite boarding school" or "studying in a library with the ghosts" (look them up they're good god knows i'm too lazy to link them) also mcu soundtracks help me so much!!
pretty notes!!
DRINK WATER (go now fr or i'm going to find you)
something i like to do is keep a big cup of water next to me and force myself to sit and study until it's empty
open windows!!! wind helps me focus personally
pretend you're studying in hogwarts or in the dead poets society or something. imagination is very powerful
snacks!!!!!!
more snacks!!!!!!!!!!
get interested in what you're studying. like fr. stuff we learn in school is amazing af like what do you mean we found out the universe is expanding through red-shift??? ok i know this is very nerdy of me but it's cool af. BE NERDY.
take breaks <3 always
pretend you have a rival you need to destroy (if you have one that's even better, personally me and my rival sometimes study in the same room to motivate each other just by glaring at each other from across the room)(side note: this could also be his method of flirting i will never know)
stand up and walk around every once in a while. for all my figure skating besties -- try to do an off-ice axel in your kitchen. it tends to wake me up because i tend to fall when i try to do a double but whatever that's a me problem.
find somewhere comfortable and wear something comfortable
make a to-do list
SEPARATE SECTION ABOUT TO-DO LISTS BECAUSE I HAVE A WHOLE SYSTEM FOR THIS
first of all you're going to brain dump everything you have to do. every little thing. including walking your dog. everything that has to be done in the next 24 hours.
let's take a sample to do list:
- math quiz
-math homework
-physics presentation
-chemistry test
-french oral
next, you're going to give each of them a score. how do we put scores? well
give it an easiness score from 1 -> 10 (10 being you can do it upside down with your eyes closed)
give it a stress score from -1 -> -10 (-10 being it causes crippling anxiety)
give it a priority score from 1 -> 10 (10 being your teacher will hunt you down if it isn't done in the next hour)
finally, give it in a convenience score from -1 -> -4 (-4 being i don't know where my notebook is my pen is in antartica i have no material to do this atm)
for me it would be something like
- math quiz (5E, -1S, 10P, -2C) 12
-math homework (7E, 0S, 8P, -1C) 14
-physics presentation (6E, -2S, 5P, -2C) 7
-chemistry test (2E, -2S, 10P, 0C) 10
-french oral (10E, -3S, 8P, -1C) 14
then sort everything. do the highest scores first and the lowest scores last (so you get the easy stuff done and get motivated to continue) and there! your to-do list is done in the least painful way possible <3

I turn 30 next month so here’s what I learned in my 20s:
—don’t work for startups, they’re always one ‘innovative idea’ away adding ‘sell your kidneys on the black market’ to your job description.
—keeping a collection of basic OTC medicine on you will save your life one day. I recommend Advil, Imodium, and TUMS.
—those little single-use glasses cleaning wipes are 1000% worth the money
—overly self-depreciating jokes just make people uncomfortable, wean yourself off of them
—you can buy dehydrated mini marshmallows in bulk online and they’re a godsend for hot cocoa
—people don’t care if you have fidget toys on your desk they just want to play with them
—try to go to bed BEFORE the existential ennui kicks in

monday, january 29th, 2024 | 14/100 days of productivity
I'm falling slightly behind on studying, but I'm not too worried. I still have a few months until the end of the course and I'll definitely be able to catch up by then. all of this material is completely new to me and there's a lot to learn!
today's productivity & self-care:
took notes on section 2.6
finished work tasks
read a chapter in Real Self-Care by Pooja Lakshmin
made nice, simple meals for myself

30.01.2024 | Tuesday
Not the best day. Was sleep deprived but then again had to pull up another all nighter cuz the professor wanted three experiments (each of 12-15 pages) to be written and submitted tomorrow (31st January) 😭
Had soup after a long time. Loved it so much, gonna have soups more often.
Spent like 2hrs in the library to finish an experiment. Yikes. My wrist did not know relief and was aching the entire day.
Couldn't study at all :(

29.01.2024 | Monday
Monday. The beginning of the week. Quite the hectic day.
Submitted and got my cell biology lab record + observation book corrected.
Bought the 2 pens i was searching for (since i had used my spare pen over the weekend too 😭)
Performed plasmolysis and micrometry experiment successfully (got a few errors but hey, we are all learning)
Studied for like 5 minutes to just revise on what was taught today.
Printed out posters for my crime scene investigation and management lab for tomorrow (30th Jan 2024).
