have 3 achievable goals a day: having a laundry list of things to do everyday is super unrealistic, and you just end up feeling bad about yourself because you didn’t accomplish your goals for the day.
leave your sundays open: i love sundays because they’re my day to chill out and catch up on school work that i wasn’t able to finish during the week.
recognize when you’re at your emotional limits: forcing yourself to get work done when you are unable to comprehend your study material does not benefit anyone.
learn how to say no: people will ask you for your time and it will stretch you to the limit, whether it be at your job, in your extracurriculars, or in your personal life. know when to step back and say no.
take care of yourself physically: take breaks, go for walks, shower regularly, get enough sleep, eat healthy, see your friends
celebrate your accomplishments: go out to eat with friends after a big exam, indulge in a night off after a busy week with some netflix and wine
make a study plan beforehand: it can be daunting to see how much work you need to put in to a class or task beforehand, but this allows you to spread your work evenly so you don’t become overwhelmed.
learn how to ask for help: it is very rare that people make it through school, whether it be high school or university or any graduate program, without needing the advice of others or just a kind soul to vent to. find that person.
never forget your hobbies: you will need things that keep you sane. if you love to play music, write, play volleyball, or cook, make you sure you don’t lose these things. they will become your escape when times get tough.
log off from time to time: it is exhausting to be constantly connected to social media and your email. just physically disconnecting from these for a night to take care of yourself can really help you clear your mind.

September 19, 2021
Decluttered my desk, watered my plants, made room for the textbook, and finally got around to do some serious studying for my Russian exam (which is due thursday!). Thinking about doing another 30 days of productivity challenge, just to keep the vibe going and kick off the start of the academic year in the right way - I'll just leave it in the tags for now. Hope you all had a nice day!
A virtual hug because real ones are no-nos right now.
Stay safe and well everyone 💛

20.RANDOM FACT: In Chile people have something called "once", which can be translated as "eleven". It's called "once" because "Agua ardiente" has 11 letters. In the past when miners were working but wanted to sneak off for a sip of agua ardiente liquor they would say "let's go to take"𝐎𝐧𝐜𝐞" so their boss wouldn't know what they were up to, as time goes by it degenerates in a snack that take place something between 6 and 9 pm. Now we eat bread and drink coffee but it started as a code word.
