🥀 Self-discipline 🥀
🥀 Self-discipline 🥀
We all have that time in the year where we have more assignments and deadlines than usual and it can often be overwhelming (certainly this year it has been for me). But instilling a strong self-discipline with solid goals can make this period so much easier. This is something I definitely needed to do this year and from the other side of this stressful time these are the tips I would say help the most:
PRIORITISE: Seriously, if you have a 3000-word essay that goes towards your final grade due in two weeks but you also have to read Great Expectations for that same week save the reading until after you’ve finished. If you don’t get the reading done you can always find synopsis, reviews and essays around the text that you can look at in the meantime. It doesn’t mean the reading won’t get done but the assignment is more important for sure.
Just do the work: If you’ve been waiting for a spark of motivation for days and deadlines are moving ever closer sometimes you just need to sit down and get on with it. Do what takes up the most time first and then the actual doing of the work becomes easier as you go along.
To-do lists: Depending on the way you work you may need to make a to-do list for everyday or for the week it’s up to you but at the very least making a list of what you need to do will help. This way you then you have everything written down that you need to get done and there’s no better feeling than crossing each job off once it’s done!
Take yourself away from distractions: Even though that last episode of the series of your favourite show may be tempting instead of seeing it as something you’re being dragged away from, see it as a reward for when you’ve done the work you need to finish. Leave your phone in another room or if that’s too much (which it sometimes is for me) create a study playlist to run for a set amount of time and work until the playlist ends… then you can get back to that TV show.
I hope these help some of you guys!

“Surrealist” Films & TV Alignment Chart
I want to see women...
I don't want female characters in a movie to be just the love interest. I want to see them fight. I want to see them hold things that are "too brutal for them" and "only for men". I want to see their eyes reflect that passion, that longing for their freedom, for their own rights. I want to see their "delicate muscles" to strain, their "small, little noses" to get flared up by intense scorn for unjustice, their "lithe fingers" pointing a gun at a person who looked down on them and called them "just a girl". I want to see women fight.
Quarantine tips for students
🎒 Treat it like you’re actually going to classes.
Take a shower. Get dressed. Don’t just roll out of bed into Zoom. It’ll put you in the correct mindset to get some work done.
☀️ Use this time as a chance to operate based on your natural energy cycles.
Work when you’re most productive. Rest when you aren’t. (Unless you have non-recorded, scheduled classes/meetings.)
⏰ Create a routine.
You’ll get used to doing the things you do and you won’t need as much motivation to get them done each time.
🎯 Set daily goals
You’ll have an idea of where you’re headed and how much you have to do for the day.
🏡 Establish boundaries by creating a separate space for doing work.
Keep coming to this space when you have to do work and don’t allow any distractions there - this will train your brain to focus.
☎️ Stay in touch with people.
Avoid feeling isolated by calling your friends, spending time with your family, roommates, etc. Social support can help reduce stress.
🎨 Keep your spirits up by spending time on your hobbies, exercising, doing something creative etc.
Coloring, doing yoga, and playing music/singing/listening to music have been shown to improve mental health.
📚 Exercise your brain
by learning a new skill you’ve always wanted to learn, reading a book on your TBR, listening to podcasts, etc.
🌿 Spend some time every day in nature,
whether it’s going out into your backyard or balcony or just opening a window.
😷 Take care of yourself by getting enough sleep, eating properly, etc.
This will make you better equipped to fight diseases, and you’ll feel better in general.
neither lasts
