♫ EVERYTHING FROM THE PERFECT RED VELVET
We have to do a project together and it’s like the group projects in school: one is doing the work and the other one’s only sitting around and comments on everything.
We’re sharing a small office and we always fight about the temperature.
There is only one copy room on our floor and we both have to copy something, but someone’s obviously having a good time in there, so we both stand there awkwardly and wait for them to finish.
You took the last bit of coffee and didn’t make a new one. That’s unacceptable.
Since you started working here you never stopped asking me out for lunch and it always seemed like a joke to you, so today I say yes and wait for your reaction.
The company is searching for a new slogan and made a competition out of it for their employees and we both want to win the car that the winner is getting.
I hear you swearing at your computer because it doesn’t open your mail account, move over, I’m going to fix it.
One of the colleagues is retiring and we were supposed to order a cake and forgot about it, the party starts in half an hour, we have to do something!!!

Oooh, I tried this method in first year physics too! It was very effective, since I got fine details from the pre-reading, which was supplemented during the lecture! This method worked fantastic (as long as I kept a routine)! Good luck with it!

✨2/30 days of productivity✨
started taking notes on QM today. i think i figured out how i want to take notes this year (at least in this course); reading and taking a bit of notes pre lecture and then i made a column of space for adding things during the lecture so i don’t have to write everything down during the lecture, only the things i missed in my notes! this way i can focus more on listening and understanding during the lecture, i damn hope it works lol

Use your intrapersonal intelligence. Ask yourself when and why you procrastinate. Use your insights to identify the appropriate strategy to deal with those issues.
Identify a purpose or meaning. Sometimes, it simply isn’t enough to do something for the sake of doing it. Know why you want to do it, it’ll be easier then. List down your goals, and beside it, identify the benefits. So that, when you feel your spirits drooping, you can look at the list be reminded of why you have to do it.
Take charge of the situation. Gather up all the supplies and materials you need to get started. Choose a work environment where you can really really focus on what you are doing. Take responsibility!
Prioritize and stick to the order. When you feel overwhelmed, make a list of tasks that needs to be done. Tackle the high-priority tasks first.
Relax your personal standards. If you’re a serial perfectionist (like me), lower your unrealistically high standards and expectations. You can still continue to produce quality work without it always having to be the BEST.
Face your fear of failure. Focus on your positive traits. I’m hella sure you’ve got plenty of those! Focus on your accomplishments, and the skills you’ve acquired! Go in front of your mirror and tell yourself affirmations and positive pep talks!
Visualize success. Visualize yourself working through the task, feeling positive about your work, and complete the task on time. Believe you can do it and you will!
