A Collaborative Research Team Led By Bo Zhen Of The University Of Pennsylvania Has Unveiled A New Approach

a quick “why is my life so bad” checklist

how’s your sleep schedule

have you eaten or drank anything besides sugar and caffeine

how long have you been sitting in one spot

have you gone out in public recently

have you taken a shower/brushed your teeth/groomed yourself properly

have you spent time doing an activity that doesn’t involve a screen

etc

i was thinking this morning about how things get old and the new self love habits i'm cultivating will lose their freshness. once that happens, i tend to forget about their importance and the habit gets harder to maintain. but once again this must come down to presence. sure, we want habits to become something we think less about, but we also should probably remember to thank ourselves for the work we do. so i guess what im getting at is maybe next time you do something for yourself you do every single day, like brushing your teeth or making a meal, really try to appreciate yourself for it. and maybe come up with a bunch of examples of little ways you take care of yourself. and then thank yourself for those too.

For some reason, the rooms in studytogether won't load for me... Is there some sort of issue with the platform? Back to Discord I go haha 😅🤣

Study tipps that work for me as an autistic ADHDer

(who massively struggled with any school related studying for years)

Finding out when I can focus best. I can't think by daylight. I need it to be dark outside to study. Therefore I study at night. If you can study at the time of the day you can focus best, do that. It doesn't matter if everyone else gets up at 5 am to do their ✨perfect productive morning routine✨. There's no one right time to be productive.

Stimming or moving while studying if I feel like it I can't focus (especially when I have to listen to recorded lectures for hours) when I don't move. I need to sit in my rocking chair and rock back and forth to take in any information at all. Pay attention to if you feel like moving when studying. If you're used to suppressing your stims, try to relearn stimming in a safe space if possible. The better regulated you are, the easier it will be to focus.

Nice distractions. Ali Abdaal once mentioned that he always studied with his door open so friends who passed by would come in for a little chat. You need to take breaks anyway, so think about somethings like that to make them more enjoyable. If you study at home or live alone, text your friends before you start studying, so replies will drift in while you're studying. TL;DR: 1. Study when you can focus best, you don't need to be productive in the morning if you're not a morning person. 2. Listen to your body and move if you need to move to focus. 3. Make your breaks nice, I like chatting with friends in between studying. Feel free to add what works for you : )

Long time no see! I will make an update post soon, but life has been crazy 😅
