11.01.2024—back in my productivity era 🌾🤍🌿🌟

[in---earnest]

The MARINA discography saga continues. Been a bit since I was so fixated on an artist, but her songwriting is a breath of fresh air.

My chemistry midterm is tomorrow, my math midterm (day before yesterday) went. Absolutely terribly. Because our teacher came up with original questions and cancelled stuff. So that's not a fun precedent for the rest of my internals.

I really enjoy chemistry so my concepts are definitely there, now I need to go through fine print.

Thurs,1st feb | Feburay started with thunderstorms for me, and im not complaining. It feels so weird to make a post after more than a year. i have completely forgotten my ways, regardless im more than happy to be back on here!

Day 1 of 30nym: What are your main goals for this challenge?

I struggle with having the discipline i want so i hope this could somehow peer pressure me into pushing a bit more? Also i wanted to make a comeback on here lol

virtual journal, 08/12

commonplace updates + learning again and again that nothing motivates me to focus on studying as taking my time in the morning to slow down and do the things, the superfluous unproductive things, that i find joy in 🌱

Welcome Winter ❄️ This season is full of bitter sweet memories that seem to intensify in the stillness. I'm happy to announce the end of unannounced hiatus that i unexpectedly took. I hope everyone is keeping warm and still trying to become a better version of themselves everyday.

I'd like to think I made it out of survival mode this semester now that I've finally caught up. But once I'm in it, I always find it hard to shake the mindset of it. As soon as I hear of deadlines, even those I actually have enough time to prepare for, I feel my chest tightening and I forget to breathe, bracing myself for... what exactly?

I can't fall behind after reading week because that's the only break we have before finals revision. Yet at the same time, if I don't exit survival mode, I will surely burn out and find it really difficult to carry on, even post-finals.

So this morning I watched this video for some inspo and one of the most important things I got from it (although everything really was a good reminder because i clearly have issues with work-life balance lol) was the different types of rest. The ones I need most right now are creative rest, mental rest, physical rest, and sensory rest (depending on how busy this week will be, how overstimulating my brain and the rest of my life outside of schoolwork will be, and how much my social media use will be).

So here are some things I want to try/restart:

Sensory rest

Wake up before everyone else does for the peace and quiet and to experience the gentle transition to sunlight (rather than have the sun's rays pierce my eyes lol)

Lie on bed, even during day whenever I need sensory rest. Not to sleep if it will throw off my sleep schedule, but just to decompress 🧸

Creative rest

Get out and soak in the nature when I wake up early since that's when the air is best

Soak in the little pleasant sensations of every day (e.g. notice the beauty in food smells and how it combines with the taste and texture, kitchen/study/any other daily life ASMR)

Read fiction first thing in the morning (will also help me wake up by being smth to look forward to...i can even read while I'm out there soaking in the nature)

Mental rest

Meditate (10-20 mins)

Write out all my remaining worries/stray thoughts at the end of the work day (WHICH CAN NOW BE AT LEAST 1 HOUR BEFORE I ACTUALLY GO TO BED)

Physical rest

Exercise to release the stress.

Sleep as much as I want, worry free since I wrote them all down well before bed and sleeping is the first step to prepare myself to tackle them all one by one

Day 2/30 days of productivity

Getting some work done. Started off by tidying my vault (Nested tags, my favorite discovery today) and learning to use Dataview. I got distracted by browsing Storygraph and reading reviews of random books.

Work as usual

Update summary

Read an article

Read a chapter

Review past notes

Q: What is something you want to learn more about? — Languages (yes, any language).

Term 3, week four: Take a walk in the sun.

One more week until submissions; the final push. I’m really tired but I’ve got to get through this. Almost there.

☕️ I brewed myself a cup of coffee and it tastes amazing - smooth, balanced, with a hint of chocolate. I’m annotating this passage from Letters From A Stoic, which I’ll be transferring to my Obsidian! I love how it allows me to link related notes and quotes. It’s quite helpful in looking back at previous notes + helps me get a bigger picture of a topic etc.

Not much tasks for today so I might just read (currently: Enchantment of Ravens), and probably watch Harry Potter. I’m kind of sad that my holiday break is almost over. But I feel like if it goes on, I’ll be bored to death!

🎧: Unsweetened Lemonade, Amélie Farren

My sleep schedule is fucked and so math is beyond my capacity right now. So chemistry flashcards are being made until my iced coffee kicks in (it won't). Here's a look at my inorganic chem notes which I'm rather proud of.

Also the results of yesterday's physics trials. As you may be able to tell I was pretty much screaming at the paper by the end of the day, so I need to find more practise questions now.

virtual journal, 27/10

i’ve been consuming an increasing amount of tea, wearing cardigans and waking up to the sound of rain, which is to say: i’m experiencing autumn in seville and my heart is full 🌾

sometimes the realization of time passing gets overwhelming; usually in the meditation of a long-held yoga pose, when the nostalgia steadily hits and outside the sun is setting and i want to capture it all (the view, the sound of slow breathing, the longing for familiar touch)
