the curse of local theatre is that a show can change you forever and there is no recording of it anywhere at all and after a few years all you have are scattered memories and the knowledge that you were different before.

Headcanon: Sukuna absolutely believes Hello Kitty is some kind of Cursed Spirit, and any time you try to convince him otherwise, he assumes you're just fucking with him. You'd really like to take him to the Sanrio store? But you're also pretty sure that lots of people will die when that happens.

sorry to say but all your recent posts about living in Baltimore keep making me think of Hairspray. That's what your town looks like to me and nothing can change that perception, you like in the hairsprsy musical town and everyone around you has beehives and dances. Now I'm just imagining you drawing zelink art whilst in a dance chorus line and i will never ever not thunk about that when I see you srt now ok that is all goodbye i love your art i cant believe you draw all that awesome stuff whilst dancing and singing in a musical every day

i want to argue with this but i do know every word to every song in hairspray. so

If you feel awful about yourself, because you haven’t been able to get much done, here are some tips:

~start by taking a somewhat aggressively deep breath. Get your lungs as full as you possibly can. Empty them. Realise that yes, you were not as productive as you hoped earlier, but you can be productive for the rest of the day.

~ make a list of all of the tasks you need to get down that will take less than five minutes- do them, and you can cross things off your to-do list while not having to sit still for long periods

~ pick one thing you need to do and break it down really small- then you can do one bit at a time and you’ve started which is half the battle

~have a fancy drink (sparkling water with a swirly stray, fruit juice in a wine glass, hot chocolate, tea, something that excites you)

~make sure to go to bed early/at a reasonable time. Don't punish yourself for mistakes you made earlier

How to avoid distractions while studying.

.

Social Media.

I personally know how hard it is to study when constant social media notifications are popping up so i just turn them off. This is obvious and the easiest way. Keep your phone in another room while you're studying.

Youtube

Here's the thing, YouTube is something we can't avoid, especially when it comes to studying because many times, we want to learn from the videos but end up getting distracted and therefore, i maintain 2 accounts. One, a personal account where I watch all my own channels like vlogs and other content videos and another account only for studying. I don't subscribe to any other channels beside the channels that help me with my studies in this account. I've noticed that I get a lot less distracted because your recommendations would only be study related or the content related!

Write them down

When you're studying and you noticed that you're getting a lot of distractions. Take a paper and write down the distractions with the timings and then continue studying.

Distractions - Time

Phone - 20 min (specify time: 8:20-40)

By this, you can analyse what's distracting you more than the others and you can actually calculate your study hours better and help yourself improve it.

Reduce everything by 5 mins

It's okay to get distracted. Everyone gets distracted and the best way to decrease your distractions is to decrease them by 5 mins for some days and then keep decreasing them gradually. It's the best way to work honestly because it helps you remove the distractions over time as a habit.

Complete your chores before sitting down

You might know that whenever you sit down with a firm motivation to study and then you take your notes, books, materia etc and a voice from the kitchen comes saying"You haven't finished the dishes!" So, now you go to do the dishes and then another chore pops up when you sit to study and another and another. So, here's my advice, either you complete all your chores before you study or you complete them after or you could complete them during breaks. But make sure you're not distracted by them.

Turn daydreaming into a weapon

Personally, this is something i really really struggled with, like whenever I sit down to study, I ended up daydreaming about a certain book or plot. It would definitely not help me study so recently, I started assigning fictional characters to subjects and personally, like, gosh my economics was alittle more interesting when I was "teaching" it to Cardan Greenbriar (tfota). It's kinda childish to have like an imaginary friend or such but it certainly helps with boring subjects. Imagine scenarios or do anything with your imagination as long as you're studying the content. It helps you remember important points even though it may be absurd.

Q and A sessions

From time to time, get in the habit of quizzing yourself, I do it after every topic i complete. I'll ask questions which are not in the book, I'll twist the questions just like in the tests. This means that you have to stay focused if you truly want to answer the questions or even form the questions. You can even do it with a friend/study buddies!

Tennis method

This method is really useful and i kinda made it up. You hold your hands up in the air facing towards each other. Now, after you completed a topic, you "throw" your first point from one hand to another and the other hand should "throw" back the second point and so on until you're completely done with it. If you can't "throw" a point back in less than a minute, you need to revise more. Personally, I love doing this because I'm focused on answering and it's actually kinda fun "throwing" points like balls, even though it may look crazy to any outsiders xD (You can use this for maths for formulae, vocabs etc!)

Hope this helps! :D

The production of newsies on youtube where racetrack is holdng Jack back from running away in the Sieze the Day fight when Snyder walks up, and Jack says "I can't go back," and race says "no, Jack, I know" and lets him go.

And then when Crutchie is getting beaten up, Jack is on the bridge right above him and again race is holding him back, this time from going to get Crutchie, who sees them and says "Jack, Race, you're RIGHT THERE!" but then they both turn and run.

And then Jack starts Santa Fe by saying "no no no no," like he's waking up from a bad dream.

ETA: here's the link.

tips for better focus

break it down with the pomodoro technique -> trains your brain to stay focused in short bursts by breaking your study sessions.

25-minute chunks, followed by a 5-minute break. after 4 pomodoros, take a longer break (15-30 minutes).

create a distraction-free zone -> set up a dedicated study space that’s free from clutter and noise.

put your phone on do not disturb mode or use apps like forest or cold turkey to block distracting websites and apps.

use the two-minute rule -> if you have a task that will take two minutes or less, do it right away! getting these out of the way before studying can clear your mind for better focus.

fuel your brain -> your brain needs energy to stay focused. keep sugary snacks and caffeine to a minimum—they can cause an energy crash later on.

set specific goals ->before you start your session, decide exactly what you want to accomplish.

reviewing one chapter, understanding a specific topic, or completing a set number of practice problems

practice active recall -> involves quizzing yourself on the material, which forces your brain to retrieve information and strengthens your memory.

using flashcards or explaining concepts out loud to yourself are great ways to practice this technique.

switch up your subjects -> studying the same subject for hours can lead to mental fatigue.

reward yourself -> whether it’s a snack or an episode of your favorite show, having something to look forward to can motivate you to stay focused.

get enough sleep -> lack of sleep not only reduces concentration but also makes it harder to retain information. low levels of sleep can change your entire day.
