180601: Stopped by the nearest Starbucks Reserve after lunch and tried out their pour over coffee and it was really good!! I usually like my coffee black and if the coffee is really good, I no longer add sugar. Just my kind of cup of coffee. I’m going to be visiting Starbucks Reserve more often now because aside from their coffee being really good and reasonably well priced drinks from their special menu, the place would be really conducive for studying!!

studyblr faux pas to leave in 2017

Practice what you preach: stop making super long posts about the fact that having super fancy and expensive stationery is unnecessary / useless but meanwhile ALL your oc is ft muji gel pens, leuchtturm bujos and tombow brush pens. SHOW people instead. Post a few non-studyblr-aesthetic pics once in a while.

Motivation < Self Discipline: yes watching successful girls like Elle Woods and Hermione Granger is slightly inspirational but lbr neither of them are going to do your work for you. Hoping for that burst of motivation all the time is useless. It's not always gonna come when you want it to. That's why you need self discipline. Even when you're feeling lazy, your self discipline will get you up and running because you are disciplined enough to know what needs to be done and when.

For the sake of your studyblr: stop rewriting your notes to look like artwork just so you can take a pretty picture of it, if it doesn't help you. Study in a way that suits you. There are tons of masterposts about techniques and strategies for different learning types. There are also tons of quizzes online to help you determine which one you are if you don't know.

What's really important: this amazing community is here to encourage you to keep learning. It's a place to find great resources; meet kind, helpful people; learn new tips and tricks for studying; etc. It is not only about aesthetics. Use your studyblr to the fullest. Ask for help, give advice, make friends!!! At the end of the day this is about your education. No amount of notes on a really cute post will magically give you an A on the history test you didn't really study for.

How much is enough: we all know how tumblr is 5 minutes actually equals about 2 hrs. some people can afford to be on tumblr 24/7 and that's great buuuuuut if you know that it's gonna distract you from your work put it aside. Enable two step verification and log out so even if you are tempted to slack off when you should be working you'll have to face that before getting back into mindlessly scrolling thru your dash nobody likes two step verification but it serves a purpose
