so far, i’ve spent this afternoon trying to convince myself that, yes, this conference paper *does* need to be written today; no, i can’t procrastinate any longer. on the other hand, my procrastination techniques today have been both productive and fun: I dog-sat a friend’s pupper last night & this morning & took her on a nice long walk through the woods (pics to follow); then, I cleaned my room and the kitchen, and meal prepped for this week. now, if i could only convince myself to read some affect theory and wuthering heights…
When you are balancing classes, homework, extracurriculars, and a full/part time job, it can be hard to find the necessary time to look after yourself. The important thing is to make good use of the small chances you get during the day! I’ve broken it up into time chunks, to make it easier.
Brush your teeth/hair etc
Wash your face, or splash cold water on it
Drink a glass of water
Stretch! (especially if you've been sitting down for awhile)
Take the stairs!
Jumping jacks/squats (I do them all the time behind the counter at work!)
Take a break and eat a piece of fruit
Walk instead of bussing
Reapply sunscreen if needed
Take a power nap if you need one
Do a short meditation
Find a short yoga routine on youtube
Go for a quick run
Take a longer nap
Write in a journal/ Notebook if that's your thing
Workout
Do a full yoga routine
Run/walk around your block a few times
Take the time to prepare a special, healthy snack for yourself!
Workout weights or cardio
Tidy your room/ office space
Catch up on other duties (to relieve stress)
Prepare a meal and make enough for a lunch the next day
As its summer in half of the world, I’d like to remind my friends in the northern hemisphere that health in the heat means drinking cold liquids to stay hydrated, wearing sunscreen to prevent burns and skin damage, and spending time in the shade throughout the day!
Take Care of Yourselves!
looking to redo my desk, and interested in clear/acrylic storage. i’m also on a budget (as-cheap-as-possible-while-still-quality.)
any suggestions for products/how to organize/thoughts on whether clear storage is a good idea?

day 1/100 january 8th, 2016
and i’m starting over 100 days of productivity again but i figured my first day should actually be productive!
today i went ahead in my functions course with my tutor and learned the new unit for 2 hours. i also presented a chemistry summative/research paper, wrote a german quiz, and wrote a math test so i decided not to do too much after school! also it’s friday c:
Two things I’m working on today: I am the head editor of a special edition of the Goldsmiths literature journal (GLITS), so I’m currently checking over peer review sheets and manuscript feedback from our board of editors.
I am also writing questions for an event I’ve been putting together as part of Alternative Careers Week at Goldsmiths, which is a conversation about the challenges facing prospective academics between myself, Dhanveer Brar, Beth Guilding, Jake Hall, Akanksha Mehta and Roberto Mozzachiodi.
You can find the details of the event here: Is a Career in Academia Worth it?

14.05.18 [18/40 days of productivity] I really love night studies, (it’s not healthy but I can’t resist myself especially in exam weeks) today I had an exam which is not easy as I expected. But it won’t decrease my mood for studying because I have another exam tomorrow! Criminal law is my favorite lecture about second year. Keep going!
