It is that time of the year again, my dudes. Since I did this type of thing with MoD last year, this November I am doing the same with Between Us. All of the raw episodes will be uploaded on google drive for anyone who would like to have no logo, no hard subs and good quality. Each episode will be updated on this post every Sunday when the show airs. The folder is also open for anyone with the link, if that would be easier to bookmark or whatever.

As a final note, just like last year - if you find any issues with the videos, please, tell me so I can fix whatever the fuck the issue may be.

Peace and have fun making stuff 🖤

edit: added the poster for my visual searchers. i know some of y'all don't read, but rather use visual stuff for navigation, so here. also @daikunart is really blind so this is for her mostly xd

edit#2: quick update on something, as @starminesister mentioned in their tags

there should indeed be subs in the video file, tho if i have to be honest, i don't know (don't use them sooo). if there are subs as it should, you would have to look for the subtitle stream and choose your language. as far as i know the subs should be in indonesian, simplified chinese, traditional chinese, english, malaysian, vietnamese and spanish. i am pretty sure that the subs thing depends on what player you are using tho.

edit#3: added a video for the subs. they are all under the same name so you will have to find the right one. also it seems some don't acutally work or are the embeded version of "no subs" not sure. but anyway, there are subs nonetheless xd

How to Handle Having TOO MUCH To Do

So let’s say you’re in the same boat I am (this is a running theme, have you noticed?) and you’ve just got, like, SO MUCH STUFF that HAS to get done YESTERDAY or you will DIE (or fail/get fired/mope). Everything needs to be done yesterday, you’re sick, and for whatever reason you are focusing on the least important stuff first. What to do!

Take a deep breath, because this is a boot camp in prioritization.

Make a 3 by 4 grid. Make it pretty big. The line above your top row goes like this: Due YESTERDAY - due TOMORROW - due LATER. Along the side, write: Takes 5 min - Takes 30 min - Takes hours - Takes DAYS.

Divide ALL your tasks into one of these squares, based on how much work you still have to do. A thank you note for a present you received two weeks ago? That takes 5 minutes and was due YESTERDAY. Put it in that square. A five page paper that’s due tomorrow? That takes an hour/hours, place it appropriately. Tomorrow’s speech you just need to rehearse? Half an hour, due TOMORROW. Do the same for ALL of your tasks

Your priority goes like this:

5 minutes due YESTERDAY

5 minutes due TOMORROW

Half-hour due YESTERDAY

Half-hour due TOMORROW

Hours due YESTERDAY

Hours due TOMORROW

5 minutes due LATER

Half-hour due LATER

Hours due LATER

DAYS due YESTERDAY

DAYS due TOMORROW

DAYS due LATER

At this point you just go down the list in each section. If something feels especially urgent, for whatever reason - a certain professor is hounding you, you’re especially worried about that speech, whatever - you can bump that up to the top of the entire list. However, going through the list like this is what I find most efficient.

Some people do like to save the 5 minute tasks for kind of a break between longer-running tasks. If that’s what you want to try, go for it! You’re the one studying here.

So that’s how to prioritize. Now, how to actually do shit? That’s where the 20/10 method comes in. It’s simple: do stuff like a stuff-doing FIEND for 20 minutes, then take a ten minute break and do whatever you want. Repeat ad infinitum. It’s how I’ve gotten through my to do list, concussed and everything.

You’ve got this. Get a drink and start - we can do our stuff together!
