✨📖My Daily Study Routine - University Version📖✨
Now I am at my third semester at the university, so I‘ve had a lot of time to find the optimal study routine for me. Every day in my week is different, wich is why I basically start to doing my tasks at different times (so this routine only refers to the days off that I can use for studying). Maybe you will have read or heard some tips of mine, but you can still include them individually into you‘re own routine (if you want). I hope my routine motivates you as much as it does to me! And a short information for y‘all, excuse my mistakes in english grammar, english is not the language i usally speak.
1. Get up between 6:00 am 7:00 am⏰
If I have the morning off, I try to start the day relaxed. Things that helping me to do this:
a cup with my favourite tea
drinkin‘ lot‘s of water (but I don‘t mange it it everday)
wearing my favorite cardigan (This might sound ridiculous, but I learn best when I'm wearing my favorite cardigan.)
listen to my favourite Spotify- playlists or watching Gilmore Girls 🎧 (Below I have linked the playllists i am using)
2. Create a good workspace✨
After strating good in the day, I collect all of the thing I need. These are the things I am using:
iPad + keyboard & mouse
Applepen
Airpods
notebook & pens
books (when I need them)
water or tea
I don‘t need many things because I have everything important on my iPad.
3. Get an owerview👀
To-do lists always help me a lot to get an owerview. I‘m using some Apps for this step: (but you can write it down on paper)
Actions
Structured
4. Set priorities✍🏻
For me there are 3 THINGS I have to decide between. These are:
STUDYING
First, I set myself a time limit (i can work better with this). I can learn very well with the following apps:
Forest (you won't believe me how much i love to plant these little trees)
Quizlet (this app helps me a lot when I'm studying for my final exams.)
COMPLETE MY NOTES
If you‘re a student at the university too, than you will know this. Most of the time you will get a „ugly“ PowerPoint for the lecture or seminar. For this reason I make my own study notes (with them I can lern better). When i am writing my notes i am using this App:
Goodnotes (Most of you probably know this app. I can no longer imagine my life without Goodnotes.)
DOING MY HOMEWOKS
For my homeworks I am also setting a timer with the Forest- App. During the semester I probably sit the longest on my homeworks. Since I'm studying Latin, I have to translate a lot of lectures, almost every day.
5. Check you‘re To-do lists again🗒️
When I think I have everything done, I look at my lists again & check them.
6. Tidy up you‘re workspace🧹
I always tidy up after a long study session. Believe me, it's worth it. Then next time you won't have such difficulties sitting down at your desk.
7. Go for a walk🚶🏻♀️
After hours of studying, it‘s beneficial to get some fresh air. (But I have to be honest, I can hardly manage it). But i‘m including this step because it should actually be done (in my opinion).

CRITICAL THINKING B
Week 1 : Creative Practice and Critical Thinking
Illustrator Ofelia Botella uses creative practice in her work consistently. She has a design service called Designed in a Day where she creates wedding stationery between 9am-5pm on the same day.
She has a 30-minute meeting with clients before their design day as well as questionnaires for clients to fill up about details and inspirations. For it to work smoothly client and designer communication has to be efficient in speedy replies or quick calls.
Then a mood board and draft would be sent to the client to review before 1pm. After the chosen direction, designs will be polished and shared for two feedback rounds and finalizing.
Ten different templates would be created that clients can use across all stationery items and a shared guide on how to edit the text using canva and some printing tips. Since the final process takes some time, the step would be finished after the design day.
This design service really intrigued me because it's quite rare and I have worked on a wedding invitation project before and it took more than a day. So it was awe-inspiring how she illustrated in a few hours to complete cards by 5pm. I really love her unique watercolor art style as well as it is hand-painted with a sense of personal touch. The system of the service Ofelia created is really efficient because projects get done faster.
Here's the critical thinking side of things. My short story and the article linked were noteworthy as it has good highlights on why the prices are so high now, how it affected the system, and what can be changed.

something that exists in the city I'm moving to:
I am obsessed with this park that combines all midcentury dangerous playground elements into one awful whole. witness this steep metal slide descending from the top of a jungle gym into a concrete pit
if you fall off the jungle gym, you too will be doomed to the pit
there's very little opportunity to get out, too. the only handholds are the ones on the left. Sendai gets a lot of rain, almost as much as Vancouver, so imagine being mangled from sliding into concrete and having to climb a sheer, slippery slope to freedom. I think I would just make a home down there and give up on life
I'm sure it does.

Daily Routine: Mundane or Sure
Credits: Unsplash
We all have daily routines. They’ve become so mundane we do them on autopilot such that if we skip any, we’re lost. What’s your daily routine?
Here’s mine
1. I wake up sometimes at the same hour days consecutively and other times much later depending on my previous night’s activities or sleep pattern.
Some days I try to roll back to sleep (just being honest), other times…
