❄️DAYS 2+3 OF PRODUCTIVITY❄️

Apologies for the missed post. I haven’t gone anywhere.

Time has flown by. Still working on this lab report it would seem as my numbers are just not adding up.

Looking at it with fresh eyes today so have decided to redo my calculations and fix this. Also didn’t make it into uni so have caught up on any lectures I missed.

Wish me luck 😭.

Hear me out…

the way dark mode looks on word.

❄️DAY 11 OF PRODUCTIVITY❄️

🤍 Math exam taken

🤍 Polymer exam taken

🤍 Lab data analysed and submitted

🤍 Final lab analysis portfolio submitted

It’s been a busy week but I’m so ready for the holiday. Had to pull out an all-nighter to get my portfolio finished once and for all. No matter how well I thought I was doing, it just seemed like the workload was growing for it. I definitely plan to be better prepared next time and want to start doing more regular drafts so it isn’t so rushed.

Pizza and sleep time.

🤍DAY 4 OF PRODUCTIVITY🤍

Finally finished and handed in my report! Praying that it’s all good because I really put my heart and soul into it. Went to 4 house viewings today for next year and about to get some lecture notes done while watching the new season of greys anatomy.

Hope everyone’s staying warm!

❄️DAY 13 OF PRODUCTIVITY❄️

🤍 2 loads of washing down

🤍 Planned my boyfriends birthday celebration

🤍 Submitted the physical chem data sheet I’d finished Friday

🤍 Emptied my kitchen cupboards of empty sauces/boxes etc

My flatmate and I are both still really sick so mostly sleeping and looking after one another ❤️. Tonsillitis haunts me.

From one burnt out student to another

This semester has been an absolute nightmare for me, so welcome to the resulting post where I try to help other people who are in the same boat!

How about we run through a quick list together, okay?

Unclench your jaw, relax your shoulders, relax your face, unclench your fists

Are you sitting in the shape of a C right now? *hitting you with a broom* straighten your back out!!

Maybe get up and stretch while you're at it!

Have you taken your meds today? If not, go get 'em.

Have you eaten enough today? Coffee/energy drinks are not a meal!!

What have you eaten today? Do you need to get something to snack on?

Have you had any water today?

Do you need to rest? There is NO shame in taking a nap or relaxing. If someone does shame you, send them my way

How long has it been since you moved from where you are right now? Maybe move to another room if you can.

How long has it been since you looked away from your screen? Take a little 5-10 minute break to rest your eyes :)

How long has it been since you've showered? (No shame in this one either, it's okay if you can't do it. You're not judged here.)

Do you need to get into some fresh, comfy clothes?

If the weather in your area will allow it, can you open a window or go sit outside?

Affirmations:

My grades do not define me

I am more than a grade/a gpa

I am allowed to make mistakes

I am allowed to rest

Taking breaks is necessary for my well being

This semester/school year will not last forever

It's okay to take time for myself

I do not need to be productive all the time

I am capable

I am smart

I do not need to perform to perfection all the time

My mental/physical/spiritual/emotional health is more important than school

It is okay to ask for help

Asking for help does not make me weak or less capable

Assignments should not be valued over sleep/food/self care

If you have the energy, maybe try some of these:

Reach out to a friend/family member/mutual

Change your sheets

Take your trash out

Pick stuff up off the floor if there is anything

Do your dishes/run the dishwasher

Do a load of laundry/put any clothes away

Journal

Schedule any needed doctor's/dentist's/therapy appointments

Leave your home for a little bit

Go do something you enjoy

Create something

Go for a walk

Cook your favorite meal

You are doing amazing, and I'm so proud of you. You can and will get through this. You're not alone <3

As always, please feel free to reach out or send me an ask if you need someone to talk to!

gentle reminder you can rise up from everything. you can recreate yourself. nothing is permanent. you are not stuck. you have choices. you can think new thoughts. you can learn something new. you can create new habits. all that matters is that you decide today and never look back.

May have slept an entire day after all my deadlines. Really needed the rest I suppose 😂.

Reminder that working through burnout is not possible and you do need that rest.
