What motivates me to go to the gym everyday when it's 36°C(96.8°F) and 92% humidity is sonny's perfectly shaped arse.

If he works out everyday with the perfect buttocks, thighs and everything, I am hitting the gym everyday working on my hips as sonny said "hips are the most important body part when it comes to football" and lacking on the back parts is a no no as sonny's fan😭

Hi y'all!! I'm currently going insane and I need to get motivated to cvt, idc if my sisters are gonna find out. I don't care anymore, just please drop discord so we can exchange SH pics or maybe just talk.

I'm so sick of everything and of everyone. The one I truly care about right now is my crush, I love them sm. And yes I am scared how they'll look at me when they'll find out but I don't think I'm gonna quit anytime soon.

Even if it means covering myself up for the rest of my life.

Was motiviert mich zu schreiben?

Klingt vielleicht idiotisch, aber an sich mir selbst diese Geschichte zu erzählen. Einen ordentlichen Schub gibt es dann noch, wenn ich positive Kommentare bekomme. Vor allem auf meinen Webnovel-Seiten und ich sehe, wie die Leute ebenfalls mit dem Verlauf der Geschichte mitfiebern. Es gibt kein besseres Öl ins Getriebe für mich als einen begeisterten Leser. Auch wenn es nur ein einziger ist. Solange jemanden die Geschichte gefällt, schreibe ich sie zur Not auch nur für ihn. Das ist für mich kein Problem. Ich will Leute begeistern und da ist es mir egal, wie viele es sind.

Und warum schreibe ich überhaupt?

Tja, die Frage ist direkt fast ein wenig schwieriger zu beantworten. Nachdem ich dies schon tue, seit ich denken kann. Früher habe ich es sogar geliebt Geschichten mündlich zu erzählen. Dies schaffe ich heutzutage irgendwie nicht mehr. Dort ist eine Schambarierre, die ich definitiv noch überwinden muss.

Aber der Antrieb damals war, dass man mit seinen Helden mitgefiebert hat und Teil dieser Abenteuer sein wollte. Auch wenn man sich gedacht hatte, dass es anders besser wäre und die Geschichte umschreiben wollte.

Aber was mir besonders viel Spaß gemacht hat, waren die Schneemausgeschichten meines Großvaters, die wir vor dem Schlafengehen immer gemeinsam mit ihm gestalten durften.

Das Erzählen macht mir unheimlich viel Spaß und die Plotbunnies nehmen kein Ende. Ich will noch so viele Geschichten erzählen, dass ich gar nicht weiß, wann ich das Alles machen soll. Aber jetzt, da ich endlich wieder eine gewisse Routine geschaffen habe, kann es zumindest weitergehen und dann wird nach und nach etwas kommen.

Was motiviert euch zum Schreiben und warum schreibt ihr?

[amongthefallingstar]

I don't think it mattered much to me as to where everyone else was going or doing, I was always in the middle of competing with myself & it's been taking me places no one else could.

coffee + ancient greek ˖˚⊹ ꣑ৎ‎ (or pics from study sessions that i never posted)

[islas-autumn]

I will succeed. Not instantly. But definitely.

[writingasdreaming]

For various reasons, I could not write for two years. I laid awake at night because my head was bubbling with ideas for my WIP.... Since last Friday I have a new laptop and also the possibility to write again. And I sit there and stare at the laptop. Nothing. Nada. What is it? Where did it all go? Is this just the normal "I don't know where to start" feeling again?

I just want to get lost in my stories again 😭

the goal is to be extremely alluring and disgustingly educated.

how to study effectively. ᥫ᭡

sometimes we get caught up in trying to memorize all the material rather than study and learn the material. we also may come to realize that the way we currently “study” isn’t actually studying at all. i’ve fallen into this way of studying, but i’ve learned some really helpful tips and tricks to make sure that i actually learn and understand the material and get it to stick rather than memorize it just to forget everything later.

let’s begin …

୨ৎ — incorporate study methods

there’s a variety of different study methods that have been proven to truly help students learn the material and have productive study sessions.

some study methods:

active recall - retrieving information from your memory

some active recall techniques include…

practice tests/questions

flashcards

summary sheets

teaching others/Feynman Technique (more on this later)

take notes with questions related to the topics

whiteboard recall: write down what it is that you’re learning on a whiteboard while using as little words as possible; summarizing

record yourself explaining the material & listen back to it, be sure to make note of what you missed in your recording

blurting method (more on this later)

eat the frog - completing the most difficult task first

how to eat the frog…

start by identifying your most difficult task. whether it’s a chapter you’re struggling with the most or an assignment that might take you longer to complete.

finish that hardest task first. focus on it, understand it, complete it, and get it out of the way before reviewing any other chapters/topics.

make sure you have a full grasp on whatever it is that you’re studying before moving onto something easier!

pomodoro method - working for a set amount of take & taking breaks in increments

25 minutes of working/studying , 5 minute break

50 minutes of working/studying , 10 minute break

set timers for both the time you study & the time you take a break!

the two options i provided don’t have to be what you decide to do! choose whatever time limits you want and will work best for you!

feynman technique - teaching others the material

how it works…

start by choosing what material you want to teach to someone else (that ‘someone else’ doesn’t have to be a real person! honestly, if my cats were all sitting somewhere or near me, i’d pretend my cats were my ‘students’!)

without reviewing your notes and going based off your memory, begin your “lecture”

fill in any gaps in your memory by going back to your notes and make note of what you’re struggling to recall/teach so that you can review it again later

remember to keep your “lectures”/explanations simple! as a medical student myself, i try to stay away from using medical terminology so that my “students” can also understand. reteaching the material in layman’s terms will also help you better understand the material!

blurting method - an active recall technique

how it works…

start by reading through your notes, textbook/lecture slides, etc. & try to remember all that you’ve read

once you feel like you’ve got all the information in your head (or as much as you can! don’t feel like you have to memorize it all!) close your notes, textbooks, lecture slides, etc.

on a separate sheet of paper or a whiteboard or anything that you can write on, write down everything you remember from what you just read and reviewed

after, review what you blurted out onto that separate sheet of paper and reopen your notes/textbook/etc. & see what you might have missed and note what it is that you still need to work on

୨ৎ — work in a beneficial environment

they key point here is that where you decide to study needs to be beneficial for you. meaning that your environment needs to be an area where you feel like you can study and work at your full potential. if you need a quiet place, maybe you might want to go to a library. if you need a brighter study environment, maybe you need to open up your curtains & blinds to let sunlight in or you need significant overhead lighting. if you need something more calming in your environment, maybe you might want to have soft and calming background music playing and maybe a nicely scented candle lit with dimmed lights.

figure out what it is that you need to study productively without any distractions and without the feeling of discomfort. your study space should allow you to focus completely!

୨ৎ — study groups

study groups are extremely helpful! i’m usually one who wishes to work independently, but recently i’ve been connecting with my classmates to form study groups and have a session together! i’ve found it to be extremely beneficial and i thank the study groups i’ve been in for my success during the semester!

you don’t have to work in a big group! most times i worked with 1-2 other people, and that was enough for me! study groups allow you to share your own study techniques with others while also learning some new strategies yourself. it also helps to have someone who’s also learning the same material so that you guys can quiz each other or incorporate that teaching method with one another. also, having others there to study with might also give you some more insight on different topics! you might be struggling with one topic, but whoever you’re studying with might be close to mastering it and vice versa! as a group, you can review and share notes and helpful tips & tricks!

୨ৎ — other resources

i want to share a few posts that i, and others, have created that i feel might help with studying effectively!

my posts:

stop procrastinating: school edition

this post is pretty self-explanatory from the title, but i just go over a few things that help to get rid of that procrastination habit!

coming out of academic burn out

i feel like this is an important post to mention because studying can cause a lot of stress and lead to burn out! i highly recommend reading this to help prevent that from happening for you!

my personal study methods

i posted this earlier this month, and while i believe my study methods will be changing for my incoming spring semester, i feel like this would still be helpful to look at! it might give you some insight on how others might study and their successes with their methods!

୨ৎ — final notes

this is one of my lengthier posts, and if you read through it all: 1. thank you so very much for reading! i really appreciate it! and 2. i hope this helps you in your studies! i know we all want to be the best students we can be and receive high grades and achieve great things in our academic careers. it’s important to stay motivated and to have confidence in yourself! you will succeed in your schooling, i just hope you remember to believe that for yourself!

with lots of love, faustina 🌷

If you're struggling to make the change, it's because the old behavior is still meeting a need.

Instead of shaming yourself, identify the deeper need and allow it to exist

Then get curious about a new way to meet it.
