Failing but never giving up. Going over failed test. Black coffee squad. Going to study hall faithfully. Reading your textbooks during work breaks. Reciting notes to yourself as you clean. Getting your friends to quiz you. Comparing your notes to your classmates. Asking your teacher for extra help. Vision boards decorate your room. Long nights studying. Coming to class a little late with bedhead. Nights in bed visualizing about your dreams. 

Top tips to survive studying while quarantined:

Clean up your space: With all that is currently going on, it is very easy to get overwhelmed and anxious. Keeping that in mind, seeing a cluttered workspace (or livingspace) will only add to that overwhelming feeling. When it feels like all things are out of control it is crucial to focus on things that you CAN control. By keeping your workspace clean you are more likely to feel more productive and motivated to get down to business.

Take more breaks: Like we talked about above, with stress and anxiety running at an all time high lately, it is important to remember to be kind to ourselves. No matter the length of our to-do list, if we are unable to bring ourselves to be in a more relaxed and calm state, there is no way that any studying can get done. With that in mind, it’s important to allow yourself to take more breaks than you normally would. This gives your mind a chance to relax and regroup before trying to start absorbing information again. This is also extremely important if you are in the same boat as I am meaning you’re back at home living with four other people and the noise levels make it impossible to remain focused for long periods of time. 

Try to set up a study spot: This DOES NOT mean study in bed. I repeat: do NOT try and study in bed!!! In all seriousness, this pandemic has uprooted all of our lives and routines as we know it. This is why it is crucial to find and designate a specific space in your house or room where you commit to study each and every day. Like I said before, it is important to focus on the small things that we CAN control in our lives in order to feel a sense of normalcy.  

Reward yourself: treat. yo’. self. It’s important! Even if you don’t get through all the things you were hoping you would, reward yourself for reaching those small milestones. Life right now is stressful enough as it is therefore we need to be kinder to ourselves and be more supportive of our small wins!

Set realistic goals and be flexible: Working and studying from home has brought along many many challenges. The biggest challenge for me personally has been all the distractions I face at home. I live with four other people at the moment and therefore there is never a dull (or quiet) moment. While I used to go to Starbucks to sit for a couple hours and study or get work done, that option is no longer available. When I really needed silence (AKA exam weekends) I would go to my university’s library where it would be absolutely silent and I could sit for hours in a calm clean space with little to no distractions. For now, things are much different than we all would hope. That is why it is important to set realistic goals on what you want to achieve for the day. It is okay to feel like you can only cover one lecture today when normally you might be able to go over three (under different circumstances). It also helps to be more flexible with when you study. If you find that it’s more quiet at your home at night or very early in the morning while everyone is asleep then make those adjustments. Think of this flexibility as a huge advantage to being at home!

Know that it is OK not to feel as productive as you usually are and be KIND to yourself 💕

Day 35/100 days of productivity

Quarantine isn’t great :/ still, I have less work and that gives me more time to read my books! ✨💫

Oooh I’ll probably give this a go! I’ve been meaning to get back into regular posting ☺️✨

Here is my brand new challenge! I hope that you will all enjoy taking part in this challenge <3

✨✨✨

Info

This challenge will begin on the 1st October 2020 and will run for the entire month

HOWEVER! My plan for this challenge is also that it can be done at any time (like the 100 days of productivity challenge for example), so although it will be officially starting then (and that is when I will be doing it) you can start it at any time

There are 31 prompts - one for each day of the month

If you do the challenge, use the tag #studyblr community challenge so i can track the posts and see what you are all posting (and so others can see as well!)

Days 1 -14 are essentially a way to introduce yourself to the community and to find out about the person behind the blog!

Days 15 -28 are what really excite me about this challenge! Essentially, my initial idea was to do an ‘appreciation challenge’ and so these days are essentially this idea within the larger challenge. It is an opportunity to tag studyblrs that you love and let them know that you appreciate them 

The final three days of the challenge are about reflection and looking at yourself positively.  

✨✨✨

Aims

As the name suggests, I want this challenge to be about community 

Studyblr has personally helped me so much and I’ve met some incredible people and I thought this challenge would be a good way to bring the community closer 

When I was creating this challenge, I tried to keep in mind new studyblrs. I think that it is a good way of introducing yourself and getting involved in the community, as well as having things to post, if you have just started! It could also be a good way for people to find your blog!

That said, if you have been in studyblr for a while (for example, like me!), this challenge is definitely still for you! I think it will be a good way for your followers to find out more about you and to discover some new blogs!

Overall, I hope that this challenge will promote positivity, appreciation and productivity

✨✨✨

Rules

If you want to do this challenge, please reblog this post

There are daily prompts for 31 days but challenges should never be a burden so you can post as frequently as you like/are able to 

When tagging, please do not spam people. Tag someone different for each day so we can share the love. 

I would suggest only tagging 1 person for each of the days but I understand that it could be a hard choice for some days. Therefore, I would say that a maximum of 3 people can be tagged for each of the days. 

Please be respectful. Some of the prompts are asking about personal opinions and you might disagree, but make sure to remember that everyone has had different experiences and the questions are designed to promote the sharing of ideas.
