Weekly Study Reflections (June 9-15) 🌿🧠🤍
🎯- Weekly goal: be prepared for the Economics exam by at least 80%
-> asses through a practice test/explaining everything I’ve learned while making mindmaps
💌 - I think I get the hang of it now. Treating burnout is not enough, you need to prevent it.
- - - 🌿- - -
I didn’t use duration-based goals anymore
I focused on the depth of the focus instead
I stopped when I had learned/done enough (at the end of a topic/after completing some quizzes, etc.) or was tired
I rewarded myself with less brain-stimulating activities (journaling, walking, stretching, listening to soft music)
I still aimed to revise 4 chapters a day, but it’s alright if I can’t
I set a large window of time and started when I was ready. I made sure I was physically and mentally ready by taking care of my nutrition and physical movements, and applying cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to myself

On burnout:
I figured that studying endlessly without being sure my effort is sufficient to achieve my goals leads to burnout. Only relying on motivation also leads to burnout
Changing the study system helped me unchain motivations with studying, so I can keep studying without having to rely on it
My root of excessive (and unstrategic) studying is the fear of failure and not having enough time to be fully prepared for it
I changed my mindset that I should be grateful for the time I have to prepare for my exams and do the best I can (in a healthy manner)
If I use the best of my time, it should be enough to help me pass the exams
If I don’t get the best result, that’s okay. The world doesn’t end. At least I learned something from it and could improve next time. (I shouldn’t let myself loose too much, though!)
- - - 🤍 - - -
I still struggled to sleep before 12, but I woke up earlier these days.
My next goal is to go to sleep earlier, no matter what

thinking about the guy i saw at the grocery store stocking shelves that looked like unmasked simon riley. he was tall with broad shoulders, looked to be in his 30s, had a similar face, short strawberry blonde hair that was thinning at the crown,,, and all i could think about was how that was probably a job ghost would like, or at least one he'd be hired for more easily than others. just a job where he can use his height and strength, probably will get a question or two from patrons but maybe not with how intimidating he looks so he'll probably have relative peace and quiet - apart from whatever songs they play in the store to keep shopper's minds busy while looking at the prices. idk it just felt like i really saw him how he'd be in real life for a second. also he checked me out WHEW

i had a fun day 2 day ૮˶• ﻌ •˶ა everyone has been so nicey 2 me all day from the minute i left my house earlier ૮ ᴖﻌᴖა ♡
i went to a Retreat for the first time for work earlier 0: and I did SO good for being up since 2am it didn't even feel like it 💀
it was so chill i drove like an hour away but Away from the city so there wasn't rly traffic and the mountains r so pretty 2 drive thru (❁´◡`❁) got some rain n v low clouds and since it's autumn there's all these pretty colors. i took an edible on the way n was just jammin out n enjoying the scenery among the many safe opportunities 2 look
and then at the thing we got 2 do different ice breakers n go on decently long breaks; i got 2 hang in different groups n actually Talk w a bunch of ppl which i never have time for omg. it's nice working at a legal nonprofit, i would NOT want to do this with corporate mfs !! 😹
went around n said hii to the enbies and i ran up a hill that looked a lot smaller than it was, i made it like 80% of the way before my legs were immediately like no girl we're done !! but my brain was like but it's Right There, and i struggled 2 finish the climb but I Did !! ૮ ᴖﻌᴖა and i was so so tired i do not remember ever being that winded before 💀 getting down was so much slower n worse bc my legs were Done and when i finally made it to the bottom i laid flat on my back for like 15m, and when when i made it back to sit n chill i still need like 10 more minutes akskska. i do not b exercising !! i just wanted 2 play it looked fun and i got excited (。ノω\。)
in between things i was working on my sister's choker n kept winding up w a group of ppl around me 2 talk to about it and just talk 2 in general n the company was rly nice (❁´◡`❁) ♡ had a lot of different kinda talks 2day!! everyone is a sweetie!! some ppl r so funny n chill and i rly hope 2 get 2 talk more casually w people perhaps As Friends when i go in 👉👈
there's one girl in particular who is rly cute n sweet and i want 2 see her again ૮˶• ﻌ •˶ა when I got home finally i had 2 hop on my work laptop real quick 2 look up her name again 2 make sure i didn't forget ☝️😌 we do not work at the same office but hii i am visiting next week 🐇
yippee!!!! ૮ ᴖﻌᴖა !!!
