Every year I find that the mid-semester is when my personal productivity is at an all time low. Motivation plummets as the workload for classes increases and professors are starting to cram in assignments before the end of the semester. It is stressful and can make or break your semester.

Here are some tips to get you through this difficult time!

-Maintain any previous study schedules you have been using this semester. Mid-semester is when these plans start to fall apart; students get lax with their schedules and then suddenly you are two weeks behind on your readings. Fight through the desire to push your rigid schedule aside and power through. IF YOU HAVE ALREADY BEGUN TO IGNORE YOUR STUDY ROUTINE- don’t panic. My best advice is to make a revised schedule before you truly fall behind and recruit a friend to hold you to it. Friends are great at holding you accountable if you think you can’t keep on top of it.

-Go to the library. Seriously, the library is a wonderful place that will make you feel productive if you are feeling lethargic. When everyone around you is working hard it kick-starts your motivation.

-Maximize your work during periods of motivation. Sometimes you just get short bursts of motivation where you can sit and do work for hours- make sure you jump on these whims and accomplish whatever you can. Similar to these motivated moments, there are also times where you can’t get yourself to sit down and work no matter how hard you try. By maximizing your productivity when you’re motivated, you can balance out these periods of inactivity.

-Have an emergency plan in case everything goes down the drain. It’s always best to be prepared for the worst case scenario. If your mental health takes a significant and rapid blow, have a plan of what you will do to keep yourself semi-functional. Maybe you have to alter your work schedule to working for five minutes with a thirty minute coloring break. Maybe you have a brand new set of highlighters to open if you cannot force yourself to read that twenty page articles.It is always important to have an emergency plan because little spurts of work is better than not working at all.

-Get some fresh air. Getting away from your desk is a good way to refresh for a few minutes, and getting outside gets your blood flowing and can help energize you. Sometimes I like to just walk around the block and look at the beautiful sights of nature around me (it sounds cheesy, but it gets me out of my head to appreciate the world for a moment).

-Work Hard/Break Hard. When you are working, do not let yourself lose momentum and and stray over to social media. When you take your scheduled breaks, do not let your mind linger on your schoolwork. You worked hard for that break and need to fully enjoy it. If you continue to think about work, you will not feel as refreshed when your return from your break.

-Stay off Netflix. Please, just trust me.

-Join a network of motivators (i.e. the amazing studyblr community). Sometimes the best motivation comes through the support of others. Everyone here in the studyblr community is/has gone through this mid-semester slump, and they are the best people to talk to if looking for advice (or even just a friend to relate to).

I hope at least one of these can help you get through this difficult point of the semester!!

i actually have a billion things on my to-do list for today :(

[cam-studies-life]

Trying out my newly-acquired Zig brush pen, and I LOVE it. I've been looking for one in this color because lettering just looks more classy in black.

[rivkahstudies]

Can you please give some tips/advice for the following topics: friends, relationships, school, jealousy

Thank you for comingto me with advice, dearie. I’ll try to keep my rambling to aminimum and just hit the key points/my philosophy for each subject!

Friends

Have their back. If the time comes that they don’t have yours, they are not friends. Be able to let go of them.

Do not talk to people that do not treat you kindly. If someone unhealthy tries to get back into your life, shut them down.

You will not always be on good terms, but learn to communicate and forgive. Be honest and straightforward about what’s on your mind and how you are feeling.

Be kind, compliment often, be aware of your friend’s comfort zones and insecurities. If you’re both comfortable with playful insults, that’s cool, but explicitly asking is always best.

You can’t force friendships, but you can actively seek them out. Just have a smile, chat to people in the supermarket or between classes, and don’t be afraid to be welcoming to strangers.

If they belittle you, they’re not friends.

Relationships

A lot of what I said for friends applies to this, you simply have to put it in a romantic context.

A relationship is a partnership, not a time-spender or a service system. Unless, of course, you both verbally consent and agree to a casual relationship or friends-with-benefits situation.

Going off of that, you both should support each other as your own people, and come together to enjoy things. You are a whole person without a partner, and you are loved without a partner. You do not need a partner to complete you. A partner is merely there to amplify the good and lessen the bad, and to experience life with love.

There are many forms of abuse, and both members of the relationship are prone to it. Learn the signs and learn to let the little things go, but be serious with the big things.

If your partner pressures you into anything, whether it be social, recreational, or sexual, you drop them. You drop them so fast and you never look back.

You choose your own sexuality and gender identity. No one has the grounds to question or mock that.

School

Drama is useless and only adds unnecessary stress. Avoid it, and avoid peers/friends that try to involve you. Never say anything unless it is kind and true.

Focus on your studies. Friends are a necessary part of life, but learn to say no to both them and extra work that you cannot handle.

Never stay out late on a school night. All-nighters at home are necessary, but never go more than 36-40 hours without sleep. More than 48 is dangerous.

Do your best, but don’t let your grades distract you from what matters. An A- can be a slap in the face if you didn’t try your best, but if you gave it your all, be proud of your C+.

Extracurriculars are great, but your first duty is to your coursework. Join what you enjoy and what you can properly commit to.

Befriend your teachers. They’re people too, and they’re also dedicated to your success.

If you have a bad teacher, don’t get confrontational. Find other ways to learn the work or to mediate with them. If it gets really bad, go to somebody.

Drugs and alcohol have no place in your life. Say no to offers of them.

Jealousy

Whether it be art, work, or belongings, don’t compare. Take time to appreciate what you do have, and recognize that everyone is a different individual. 

It’s a normal sensation, but don’t let it stay. And please, if it lingers, do not voice it, and do not let it compel you to act maliciously.

There will always be someone with more of something than you. Money, opportunities, friends, family, stationery, books, whatever it may be. But there will always be someone with less, as well. So, do your best to thank yourself and those around you for what you do have, and share what you can when you can.

Experiences are much more precious than things.

You don’t have to spend money to have fun.

I have many more to say on all of these subjects, but here are some highlights. If you have specific issues you want advice on, just message me.

[mango-studies]

What is the biggest change that has happened in your life? How did it change you? Also I love your content!! I followed!!

ahhh sorry for the very late response (just finished up APs)! and tysm 💕💕 

hmm, that’s hard to say… I feel like all major changes were all like internal mental shifts?  like in grade 9 I remember being such a slacker for like the first half of the year, but seeing my overachiever friends do so well propelled me into working really hard in academics. so maybe that was the biggest change in my life? now that i think about it, my life has been pretty uneventful thoughhh

7/100 Days of Productivity~ 10/19/17 I learned how to make this watercolor effect for my notes and bullet journal! It’s been one of those ‘meh’ days. I made an effort to get my oil changed and found out that the nearest jiffy lube that has the oil filter I need is an hour and a half away. I consider it productive because I got out and made the effort, despite failing.

introduction !!

oh dear lord i have to do it again but its okay because this is now my primary account yey

hello hello ೭੧(❛▿❛✿)੭೨ !! i’m syb ( but like sib yaknow ), i’m new to the studyblrcommunity so i thought this would just introduce a bit more about myself to everyone (/^▽^)/

sumthins about me: - 13 years old ( turning 14 this sep ) - year 9 ( but summer is like three weeks away *HOLLERING) - i live in hong kong - trash bts stan as you can probably tell ; a taehyung bias - im trilingual ( this is not a word is it? anyways cantonese, mandarin and english thought if you try speaking to me in anything that isn’t english i will stutter my tongue out - being an architect is somewhat of a goal to me ig °˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖° - enfp ( basically hyper lil shit ) - making new friends is basically what makes me super hype so feel free to message me any time im just a bub (≡^∇^≡)

why i made my studyblr: i give credits to my friend for introducing me to studyblrs or else i wouldn’t be here “oh your notes are so pretty they’re like studyblr stuff” “study what?” “studyBLR” “are you cold? study burr?” “oh. my. god.” tbh the studyblr and studygram community is just so fun? everyone is just so nice and it’s somewhat of a safe place where people don’t judge the effort i put into my notes and such ≧(´▽｀)≦

some of my fav studyblrs and inspiration: @tbhstudying @studytherin (hi i love you, you’re too nice to me) @emmastudies @studylustre @rhubarbstudies @stawbeestudy @studyquill @equaticns @eintsein @architstudy @snowystudiess @hobifulstudies (we just talked but you’re already so niceee) @focusign @jiyeonstudies

sib (❁´▽`❁)*✲ﾟ*

[iliminoal]

What are the kind of people you tend to make friends with? Is there a characteristic you look for when making friends?

Funny, honest, smart-ish(please just don’t play dumb, if you’re not), just someone that i can talk with at any time, of anything, just have a random conversation, and people that tolerate my sarcasm and my rude playfulness lol
