be busy. busy not checking messages. busy reading those books you never started or finished. busy having a good night of sleep. busy taking care of yourself and your skin. busy moving your body. busy helping your community. busy reflecting on your life and what you can improve. busy doing things aside from the capitalistic viewpoint of “productivity.” busy slowing down.

How to start learning more
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Listen to podcasts
- Podcasts are so good because you can really listen to them whenever such as while cleaning and working out and there’s so many different ones to listen to
- Some Podcasts that I listen to are: Art of History, star talk, the science of everything and leech fest
Watch more documentary
- Watch documentaries on subjects that interest you, there’s so many free ones on youtube and you can find a whole selection on any streaming service
Focus in school
- Start to take an interest in your school subjects, study not for the high grades but because you want to know everything
- School becomes better when you start to engage in your subjects
Read more
- There’s so many benefits to reading, if you want to educated then read more non fiction but even reading fiction will increase your reading level which has benefits in itself and could even help your grades improve
- For people who like History I would recommend black tudors and Nazi wife’s.
Research anything that interests you
- Life’s too short to sit their curious, with the whole internet at our hands we may as well use it to learn
make learning something you enjoy
- This is the most important, if you don’t enjoy learning then you’re not going to benefit from it as much as you could. A good way to combat this is making sure that you research things you actually enjoy instead of things that bore you to death.
You’ll never stop learning so if you start now then you’ll be able to learn more

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 ❤️

How to make studying more enjoyable
Tumblr media Tumblr media
- Listen to classical or lofi music
I use those dark academia playlists on youtube and put them on my tv and it keeps me motivated also lofi girl
- Buy cute stationery
I would recommend fine liner pens because you can get big packs for cheap and have colourful notes
- Colour coordinate your notes/flashcards
It just makes them look so much more nicer to look at
- Have a positive mindset about studying
If you think of studying as nothing but a chore then you’re not going to enjoy it very much, I’d recommend making a pinterest board to motivate yourself
- Try out different study methods
Then you can use the methods that work for you. Personally I do flashcards and exam questions
- Take breaks
If you do too much you’ll burn out and then it defo won’t be enjoyable

Small ways to get out of a slump
Tumblr media Tumblr media
- Brush your hair
It will help you feel more fresh and it only takes a few minutes depending on your hair type
- Do some light makeup
Even if it’s something as simple as applying some lipgloss
- Listen to happy music
Such as pop music, I personally love the songs ‘dimple and I’m fine’ by BTS
- Do some stretching or yoga
It’s relaxing and if you feel stressed then It’ll really help
- Listen to a podcast
It’ll provide a good distraction
- Watch your favourite youtubers/show
It’ll make you feel better. I recommend a comedy show like Friday night dinner

Underneath - writing and dying
Doing some shameless self promotion but I’ve just finished writing this story on A03 called underneath.
The premise is that Archie Walker has just started year 11 and after coughing up flowers he realises that he’s in love with his best friend. It contains hanahaki disease, bulimia and a suicide attempt so please read it with caution.
And I’m currently writing a sort of sequel fic focusing on Marcus’ sister (Archie’s best friend) called Maria. So if you want to check that out then the first part is out on my ao3
