Digital Detox and Self-prioritization
You`re endlessly doom-scrolling on your phone. Your thumb glides from Facebook to Twitter to Tik Tok then to Instagram and back to Facebook again, all within an hour. You scroll until you're consumed with feelings of anxiety, envy, and fleeting bursts of joy. You scroll until you`re overpowered by the desire to be someone else, doing something else and YOU CAN BE! This desire is easily achievable when you put your phone down, take a break from social media, and start living in the real world! I should know, I was just like you once.
I was the girl with a daily screen-time of over ten hours. My life was sedentary, and I was always plagued by envy and bitterness towards the people on social media who seemed to have their life together and were out being exciting people who did exciting things.
I remember one evening I was carrying out my normal routine of doom-scrolling when I was bushwhacked by a migraine so crippling that it drew a family member`s attention. After relaying my ache to them, they humorously suggested it was probably because of my phone.
This was my epiphany. Their joke was right- I was spending too much time on my phone and while trying to ignore my pounding head, I recalled all the hours I spent bent over my phone, bleary-eyed and envious of the life of content creators and micro-influencers.
I recalled watching gym content and admiring these creators' progress while not having the faintest idea of the last time I worked out.
I used to dedicate my time to passionately responding to comments in defense of celebs who did not know of my existence. I did not once dedicate this same level of commitment and dedication to my passions.
I posted pictures of myself and religiously compared the likes, views, and comments I garnered to those of my mutuals. I tried to maintain a curated online image that was disingenuous to who I was- heck, I barely knew who I was without the influence of social media.
This enlightenment (and my migraine lol) shook me to my core. I had to do something fast. I deleted my Twitter, Instagram, and Tik Tok. Since going offline, I`ve had a multitude of free time which I`ve dedicated to self-prioritization and improvement.
I`ve since fallen into the habit of :
Creating to-do lists so that my days are productive.
Picking up new hobbies (blogging via Tumblr, painting, and writing)
Reconnecting with old hobbies (Reading; so far, I`ve read two books from @kelseytheballerina ‘Digital Minimalism’ reading list).
Dedicating time and energy towards being more organized and efficient (completing tasks without the temptation to check my phone or the distraction of incoming notifications that require me to update, share, or respond).
Trying new recipes and cooking more
Gardening (I am currently growing Spinach)
Consistently exercising (working out between 30 minutes to 1 hour)
Learning a foreign language (Eu falo portugues!)
Deciding to engage in Bible Study and Quiet Time
Since deleting social media, I`ve experienced so much personal growth. I feel more self-directed. My life was waiting to be lived and enjoyed just beyond the glare of a screen and I`ve since embraced it and reclaimed my time and made myself a priority. I am finally figuring out who I am, AND YOU SHOULD TOO!

productivity+habit building tips i learned today
i watched a few productivity + habit building videos today, and now its time to share.
task stacking: adding two or more tasks together to speed up a process/get more things done. example: listening to a lecture while cooking, or watching a movie while cleaning your room. most often it is a enjoyable task paired with a chore.
location stacking: i recommend this to people who have to travel and commute a lot during the day. let's say you're scheduling a coffee date with your friend. it would be a lot easier and take up much less time if you schedule it closer to your library study session. Because the shop and the library are closer together, it would take less time than if you scheduled it in the morning, having to commute from the coffee shop to your work/class
out of sight, out of mind: put things you need to do/need ot remember at: eye level, a place you can clearly see it, or a place you check often. this will increase your contact with this thing/idea and will make sure you don't forget it. also great with dieting/restricting food. if the food you are trying to limit is on the lower shelf, hidden behind another item, or completely out of sight, you forget it's there and have less craving for this food.
vocalize your intention: say your goal out loud, to yourself, or prefereably another person. this way, you motivate yourself to do it because you already told someone you would do it.
studying with a friend: this is similar to number 4, as when you study with a friend, in-person or through video call, you can limit each other and make sure each other are on task and working. taking breaks would also be more fun because you can chat or play a game together.
the 2 minute strategy: focus on something for only 2 minutes. this is a trick to tell your brain that you are only working for a short amount of time, but in reality, this is helping to achieve the most hardest part of being productive: starting. after these two minutes, you are already in the zone, so you end up doing much more.
having a second space: having a place to go to when your main space is stressing you out is good for your mental health. for me, my second space is the library. i go there to study, but i also go there to chill out and read, color, or do a puzzle. it helps me when i stress and calms me down to continue my work.
hope this helps! have a nice weekend everyone ☁️✨💛

Damn you source.
(Currently trying to instill better eating and exercise habits into the body one step at a time because it makes me feel more normal. It's nice though. Gives me a sense of purpose I guess? Lmao. I should have my own fitness channel again.)

Best Ways to Keep Your Life Organized and Stress-Free
In today’s fast-paced world, staying organized and stress-free can feel like an impossible task. But with the right strategies, tools, and mindset, you can transform chaos into calm and create a life that feels manageable and fulfilling. Whether you’re juggling work, family, or personal goals, these tips will help you stay on top of your game. Let’s dive into the best ways to keep your life organized and stress-free!
Why Organization Matters
Before we get into the nitty-gritty, let’s talk about why organization is so important. Being organized isn’t just about having a tidy desk or a color-coded planner (although those are great). It’s about creating systems that make your life easier, saving time, reducing stress, and helping you focus on what truly matters.
When you’re organized:
- You’re less likely to forget important deadlines or appointments.
- You can prioritize tasks more effectively.
- You feel more in control of your life.
- You have more time for the things you love.
Now that we’ve established the “why,” let’s move on to the “how.”
1. Start with a Brain Dump
One of the best ways to clear your mind and get organized is to do a brain dump. Grab a notebook or open a blank document and write down everything that’s on your mind—tasks, ideas, worries, appointments, and goals. Don’t worry about organizing it yet; just get it all out.
Once you’ve emptied your brain, you can start categorizing and prioritizing the items on your list. This process not only helps you feel less overwhelmed but also gives you a clear starting point.
2. Use a Planner or Digital Calendar
Whether you prefer a physical planner or a digital calendar, having a system to track your schedule is essential. A good planner can help you:
- Keep track of appointments and deadlines.
- Plan your day, week, or month in advance.
- Set and track goals.
If you’re tech-savvy, apps like Google Calendar, Notion, or Trello can be game-changers. They allow you to set reminders, share schedules with others, and access your plans from anywhere.
3. Declutter Your Space
A cluttered space equals a cluttered mind. Take some time to declutter your home, workspace, or even your digital devices. Start small—maybe tackle one drawer or folder at a time.
Here are some quick decluttering tips:
- The 80/20 Rule: You probably use 20% of your belongings 80% of the time. Focus on keeping the essentials and letting go of the rest.
- One In, One Out: For every new item you bring in, get rid of one.
- Digital Declutter: Organize your files, delete unnecessary emails, and clean up your desktop.
4. Create Routines
Routines are the backbone of organization. They help you establish habits and reduce decision fatigue. Start by creating a morning and evening routine that works for you.
Morning Routine Ideas:
- Make your bed.
- Write a to-do list.
- Spend 5 minutes tidying up.
- Meditate or stretch.
Evening Routine Ideas:
- Review your day and plan for tomorrow.
- Prep meals or outfits for the next day.
- Unplug from screens at least 30 minutes before bed.
5. Prioritize Self-Care
It’s hard to stay organized and stress-free if you’re running on empty. Make self-care a priority by scheduling time for activities that recharge you. This could be anything from reading a book to taking a bubble bath to going for a walk.
Remember, self-care isn’t selfish—it’s necessary. When you take care of yourself, you’re better equipped to handle life’s challenges.
6. Learn to Say No
One of the biggest causes of stress is overcommitting. If you’re constantly saying “yes” to everything, you’ll quickly find yourself overwhelmed. Practice setting boundaries and saying “no” to things that don’t align with your priorities.
7. Automate and Delegate
Why do everything yourself when you don’t have to? Look for ways to automate repetitive tasks or delegate them to others.
Examples of Automation:
- Use apps like Zapier to automate workflows.
- Set up automatic bill payments.
- Use grocery delivery or subscription services.
Examples of Delegation:
- Hire a virtual assistant for administrative tasks.
- Ask family members to help with chores.
- Outsource tasks like cleaning or lawn care.
8. Stay Flexible
Life is unpredictable, and no matter how organized you are, things won’t always go according to plan. The key is to stay flexible and adapt when necessary. If something doesn’t work, don’t be afraid to tweak your systems or try something new.
9. Celebrate Your Wins
Finally, don’t forget to celebrate your accomplishments—big and small. Whether it’s completing a major project or simply sticking to your routine for a week, take a moment to acknowledge your hard work.
FAQs
1. How do I stay motivated to stay organized?
Staying motivated starts with setting clear goals and reminding yourself of the benefits of being organized. Break tasks into smaller steps and reward yourself for completing them.
2. What’s the best way to handle procrastination?
Start with the easiest or most enjoyable task to build momentum. Use techniques like the Pomodoro method (working in short bursts) to stay focused.
3. How can I organize my digital life?
Use tools like cloud storage to keep files accessible, create folders for different categories, and regularly delete unnecessary files and apps.
4. What should I do if I feel overwhelmed?
Take a break, do a brain dump, and focus on one task at a time. Remember, it’s okay to ask for help or take things slow.
5. How often should I declutter?
Declutter as often as needed. Some people prefer a weekly tidy-up, while others do a big cleanout every few months.
Final Thoughts
Staying organized and stress-free is a journey, not a destination. It’s about finding what works for you and being consistent. With these tips, you’ll be well on your way to creating a life that feels balanced and fulfilling.

The Adventure Journal - backpacks
The whole thing that started the adventure journal idea (bar my hatered of traditional habit trackers) was a series of rough sketches I made of different fantasy backpacks. Initally I was just looking to turn them into stickers - but after mulching over the idea, the seeds of the adventure journal were sown.
Here are the backpacks (inked in).
I wasn't really just which backpack I should choose for the adventure journal itself. Afterall, it is supposed to be a reader led story in so many ways, whereas these backpacks were designed with D+D in mind (wizard, fighter, druid, and cleric).
I would still like to turn them into stickers at some point, but they were a good starting place for the adventure journal. In this case, I specifically chose the wizard backpack (one with the long wizard staff) and changed it into a walking stick for the adventure journal itself.

soon gym memberships will spike and everyone will try to achieve their goals because its a new year but thats completely arbitrary and means NOTHING
this really helped me because when i would fail at something id always say 'ill start tmr/next week' BUT WHY NOT NOW?? our silly brains try to make up a special time for us to change into someone completely different but thats just it not wanting to change and putting it off, we hate change
small things, small choices that affirm who u want to be will benefit u a lot more than the new year whatdoucallems because u wont even notice the change. start off small and these will compound and soon something that seemed so difficult becomes second nature its such a great feeling realising while youre doing something automatically like- wow, i used to really hate doing this, now im just doing it without thinking abt it??
my entire life is geared towards change because its so interesting, i have nothing to lose except a bit of comfort, and that's all that life is, just a bunch of changes that turn into a story with no plot. just stuff happening. idk how people can stay locked in a certain identity or lifestyle for a while and feel fine, it seems terrifying to me and uninteresting and even self righteous in a way
but yea dont rely on new years resolutions to achieve drastic new goals because youll give up a week in. motivation is useless! it does nothing! habits, small choices, setting up ur environment, and consistency is what dictates ur identity. i see a lot of people blaming their shortcomings on a lack of motivation BUT THAT ISNT THE ISSUE, motivation is stupid and of course if u rely on it u wont achieve much.

8/24/24
Mmk. Progress is a 5k Friday and making it to a Sat morning Cardio & Coffee run at a local park.
Did I need to leave before I like to be awake on a weekday? Yes.
Did I make it? Yes.
Here are a couple recent meals and a workout shot.....
The brownie in the middle of the night was probably unnecessary. But it happened so I had to document it.
The trail run today was actually 2.4 miles, I started the tracker a little late.
I am now at my nephew's football game where I have a home made sf smores coffee, a waterloo water, a beef stick & a turkey stick.

neurodivergent-friendly advice on forming habits for creatives (& anyone, really) - with photos
Habits marked with ⭐ are the most important ones, imo.
A good way to build habits that you don't read in books is to make the habit desirable. You can look up the other methods (Atomic Habits and other similar books are great).
But for this one, if you're anything like my neurodivergent mentally ill butt you need things to be desirable in some way to get you to do them.
So what does desirability mean?
It means that it makes you want to do it, with energy and enthusiasm! Or at least not hate the task and yourself and everyone and everything! Something desirable for a habit may include:
Organized
Goblin tools link - https://goblin.tools
The best way to ensure you can perform a habit is to make it EASY. The best way to make it easy is to be organized. Yes this is difficult but you'll get better over time and it'll pay off with dividends of you being very likely to Do The Thing (tm) if you combine this with a few other things on this list (plus the normal habit formation stuff, but honestly loving what you do will make you way more likely to do it than tying it to another habit!).
⭐Put it somewhere easy to access that you can get to EASILY every day, preferably something you already have a habit of going to, e.g. your desk or your lounge room.
⭐Organize your digital files! Here's an example:
^ art (main folder)
^^ (subfolder, 1 folder deep) anatomy
^^^ (subfolder, 2 folders deep) female anatomy
^^^^ (subfolder, 3 folders deep) female torso...
^^^ (subfolder, 2 folders deep) male anatomy
^^^^ (subfolder, 3 folders deep) male torso...
Etc, etc.
Tl;dr (non technical speak): make a folder within a folder for each aspect of your project/task.
📂Every once in a while (can be weekly, monthly, 6 monthly, etc.) sort out your digital files. If you're no longer using that folder, put it in either a "not currently in use" folder to use again later, or if you're done with it, put it in an archive, on either your computer or (preferably) on a hard drive for safe keeping.
📂I have a "quick access" folder with all the folders I'm currently using in it. This is so all I need to do is find the quick access folder and this way I don't have to sort through a sea of dozens of random folders to find the useful ones. This is also good because there are some windows folders you can't relocate and they sit there taking up space and making it visually more cluttered. Note: Be sure to back up your important folders once every week to 3 months.
📂If you want to go super advanced, there are desktop folder kits on Etsy (and perhaps some free ones? though be careful with downloading random things, you may get a virus). They make the folders look aesthetic.
📂Personally, I use either Obsidian or Notion, depending on what I'm doing (usually Obsidian). I recently installed Askify, which can connect to both. Cool thing about it is that you can add notes from any site on the net including YouTube, it takes screenshots for you, and grabs a timestamp as well as being able to summarise the past 15 seconds of the video for you (though it usually just types what the person said, but this can be helpful). It's $3.50 AUD a month, but Obsidian and Notion are free so you can just use those if you can't afford it.
📂⭐Keep the space you're working in as tidy as you can manage. Try to make a habit of every night taking all dishes and empty drinks into the kitchen before you go to sleep.
📂⭐If you have your own space, don't be afraid to rearrange it! I recently rearranged my entire apartment and using my own cleaning advice - if you haven't used it in the past 6 months, consider chucking it out (if it's not expensive), if it doesn't make you happy, earn you money, and isn't useful regularly in some way, chuck it out - and now I'm 100x more physically comfortable, especially because I have an air conditioner next to me now near where I both work and sleep. If you have trouble visualising, try using a website to do so or draw it on paper until it feels right. Pro tip: you don't have to throw away everything, you can also donate it to an op shop/charity/homeless shelter that accepts donations if it's still usable, or you can sell it if it's high-ish quality and worth something.
📂⭐*If you can't do it today, then put it on your to-do list for tomorrow. Keep transferring unfinished tasks to tomorrow until your list is free from tasks.
📂⭐Generally good advice, especially for neurodivergents (but everyone needs to know!): take a dang break every once in a while! If you find yourself getting frustrated with something, take a break, possibly until tomorrow.
... If you have to do it today, do something to break it up, e.g. a nap or a shower. After this, give it a little while to keep cooling off if you still feel bad, then go back to the task.
... If it's something you have more time to do, stop doing it when it stops being fun/enjoyable. If you don't get fun/enjoyment out of it to begin with, stop when it's no longer interesting. Stop BEFORE you get to the point where you're pushing yourself. That is how you make yourself hate whatever you're doing and get a massive block from doing the task. Trust me, I didn't write a story for over 3 years after writing every single day because I pushed myself to the point it was frustrating to do and forced myself to keep going. Not worth it, wish I hadn't.
Sight
⭐Especially good for creative and visual types, like people who like art, design, front-end web devs, game devs, animators, writers etc.⭐
🎨Aesthetically pleasing - e.g. plugins that can change the aesthetic of programs. A good example is the extremely extensive library of plugins and themes available for Obsidian, all free to install. You can also get aesthetic Notion templates, too, but they often cost money (though you can find free ones on the official Notion template website!).
🎨Some aesthetic program add-ons include: the extensive free plugin/theme library for Obsidian (you can even connect it to back up to GitHub for free, though it's very technical) and aesthetic Notion templates - here's a link to where you can find free ones (there are other categories, too, not just for productivity) - https://www.notion.so/templates/category/personal-productivity?paid=free -------- If you want a link to my Etsy store to buy a nice looking aesthetic Notion template for university students (or a different special one just for design students!) for cheap that has better features than the free ones, go here: https://www.etsy.com/au/shop/PointyBirdDesigns?ref=seller-platform-mcnav§ion_id=47390214
🎨Nice colours that you like.
🎨Nice shapes - e.g. your office has a circular painting that you love the shape of (and it makes you happy to look at it).
🎨Nice visual texture - e.g. you're writing a book - consider doing it in a program that has unlimited pages and has a paper texture in the background with no ads or distractions (and can go full screen).
Smell
👃If you're not sensitive to perfumes, spraying a nice scent whenever you do the habit could make you feel happier. You may even start to associate the task with that nice smell.
👃Make sure the area you're working in smells nice. Bad smells can be major subconscious distractions.
Sound
🙉The object associated with your habit makes a satisfying sound, e.g. for writing you might want a certain type of keyboard, like a mechanical keyboard that makes a satisfying "thunk" with each key press and makes you feel like a professional writer. Some browsers like Opera GX (not sponsored) also allow you to add typing sounds directly to the browser, so if you can't afford a nice keyboard but still want a satisfying sound you might want to try that if you're doing a lot in your browser. Otherwise, iirc, there are also writing programs that might do something similar (you'll have to look for them yourself, I can't remember sorry).
🙉⭐You can use things for background noise while you're doing the task if you either have it down really low or you don't need to hear your recordings for it. E.g. for editing a video you can play very soft instrumental music (I don't recommend anything with words, it'll confuse you when they mix with your audio), or if you're doing something like sorting through paperwork you can put on whatever type of music you like or even a twitch or youtube vod/stream on while you're doing it. It sacrifices a tiny bit of optimal brainpower, but you'll likely be less bored and be able to do the task for longer so it'll likely even out, and if you're concerned, you can often do polishing touches at the end to make sure your work is good.
🙉Headphones can go a long way for focus in busy places. Noise cancelling ones can help a lot if you have the cash.
Tactile
🤗*Generally you want to be physically comfortable when performing your habit. If you can afford it/can save up and it's causing you discomfort, try to replace it. A good place to find quality furniture for cheap is your local tender centre. Sometimes op shops are good options, but they're usually more expensive. I found an amazing ergonomic chair for $100 that was worth about $500 - $600. Good things come along sometimes, just keep looking.
🤗If it's something that requires you to go outside and you can afford it, try investing in a few nice outfits to make yourself feel more confident for days when you're feeling less motivated.
🤗⭐If you're neurodivergent or sensitive to textures, make sure before you buy something that you can run your hand along it many times and not feel awful. Honestly, everyone should do this. We all have preferences.
🤗⭐Don't ignore things that make you feel uncomfortable! Why? Because in my experience it's a bit like in video games - these things stack up like debuffs. What I'm saying is, it may not be a big thing to have bright lights hurting your eyes, but if you have bright lights, an uncomfortable chair, and your environment isn't clean, this can be sensory hell, especially for neurodivergents. Write down the things that make you uncomfortable and fix as many as possible, one by one. Don't end up like your neglected sims who are very talented but are completely and utterly miserable because you don't fix the things that are bothering them and don't fulfil their basic needs!
🤗⭐If it bothers you, fix it as soon as you can. It's easy to let little annoyances pass, but just like when a sim does something they dislike, your tolerance for it will be grated until you feel absolutely awful and/or snap. This goes for things as little as your room being too cold (get a blanket or if you can afford it and have one, put the heater on!) or too hot. Do NOT screw around with things you can fix in under 2-30 minutes. If you can fix it in under 2 minutes, do it right now. If you can fix it in under 10 minutes, write it down and do it today. For the rest, add it to either a weekly, monthly, or some day to-do list. Scheduling it for a certain period of time makes it more likely to get done, though. If you're like me and can't do something when you force yourself to or are told you have to, just schedule it to be done within a certain week or month. No pressure.
Feeling
💜⭐A good rule of thumb is that you've achieved desirability when you feel excited to do the habit. If this excitement ever wears off, try mixing and matching other ways of building desirability or changing something about the habit, e.g. the prompt (see habit building books or summaries for more info). Keep it fresh! Whenever you get bored, change things around.
💜⭐Listen to your emotions. Emotions are the body's way of communicating things with you, whether it be about your environment or about your body or mental state. Sure, some are irrational, but every emotion has a story to tell. Try listening. Don't push your emotions down, learn to process them. If you don't know how, a therapist can help.
Bonus note:
Don't spend beyond your means! If you can't afford it, don't buy it! I am not telling you to go out and spend as much as you can on these things. Mid-range is usually the best bang for your buck, and can often be found for cheap in op shops and tender centres, as I said.
Good luck! If you have any bonus tips feel free to reblog this post or comment and add them!

𝓃𝑒𝓌 𝓎𝑒𝒶𝓇, 𝓃𝑒𝓌 𝓂𝑒 ‧̍̊˙· 𓆝.° 。˚𓆛˚。 °.𓆞 ·˙‧̍̊
starting new year i embarked on a 90 day long journey to improve myself.
it's spiritual in nature but i see how this could easily become a way of life for someone (me), who wasn't used to structure growing up and is more familiar with chaos, which i got used to, but living like that can be extremely tiring.
"how we spend our day is how we spend our life." - annie dillard
after first week what inspired me the most, was how easy it was to wake up. the so called "heroic minute" demands you wake up within the minute your alarm goes off. as someone who used to be a big snoozer and set up multple alarms in the morning "just in case", this made a big difference. to have one alarm and have a guarantee you will wake up, you also need a proper amount of sleep. 7 sounds like a good number, which i find rests me well enough.
after i wake up i find meditating 20 - 30 minutes refreshes me and gives me a sense of calm throughout the day. it grounds me and gives me a sense of presence. for that reason i decided to not use my phone during the lectures and give my full attention to my professor, which is basic respect as everyone likes to be heard. i find the material mostly interesting and the fact that our class never surpasses more than 25 people, makes it easier for me.
this first week after new year was quite successful, i hope i can keep it up for another so many days, but even hold these new habits after the time quota will be surpassed.

I don't know if this is anything. But it feels like something.
Left is the before Duolingo released a phone widget to help give you an immediate visual reminder of whether or not you had done it that day. Pictured right is after. You can see the exact moment I installed that widget.
I don't know if they wanna just give me my ADHD diagnosis now or....

10-Week Summer Habit Challenge Update #7
This Week: Hygiene Routine
Honestly, this week did not go as well as I'd hoped. Lots of socialization Thursday and Friday kept me busy for those two days, and I was completely wiped Saturday. Like, "do a couple hours of work at my desk, start dozing at 4pm, then pass out and sleep until 11am the next morning" kind of wiped.
So yeah, that was going great.
Here's hoping I can rebound and come back from this easily enough.
Next Week: Meal Planning
I kind of dabbled in this already, having a handful of specific things in mind when I got groceries on Thursday.
Unfortunately, with two weeks between grocery trips, I picked the wrong week to really try and do anything with this.
