100 Days Of Intentional Things - Day Fifty Three

You’re never too old to learn something new. Never stop studying. 

34/100 days of productivity

a bad anxiety day today, with my final manuscript deadline tonight. i managed to get it in early so i can spend lots of time relaxing tonight 

lately ive been feeling under the clouds. don’t feel motivated to do anything nor have the drive to move forward. however, just journaling and tearing random pages from my fav books makes me feel a bit productive. what do u think about this spread? I personally fell in love with it, especially the watercolor background.

22/4/2020 | 32/60 Days of Productivity

So much data, so many hypotheses to keep track of

// 4.24.20 // I recently moved my desk in front of my window and it was the best decision I’ve made in a while. The bright natural light makes me want to sit here for hours and hours, which I have been now. I used to not really enjoy sitting at my desk, and I noticed I would do my homework and studying at almost every other surface in my home haha. Now I have this beautiful view, my plants are pretty and keeping me company, and it’s just so bright I can’t describe what the natural light does but it really does increase my motivation and productivity.

24/30 days of self care

Today I finished working on the first set of documents I photographed at the archives. With this I am more or less done with the reports of the interrogation of one of the three women accused of witchcraft I am working on. Since the majority of my work at the moment has been research based, I have this constant feeling pf not doing enough, because at the end of the day I mostly read stuff. So I decided to do a list of all the thesis related things I accomplished since exactly a month ago when I went to my first in person meeting with the professor who is helping me in my work. This process was so beneficial for my mental state at the moment, I realized how much I actually got done in a month, and I recommend this to anyone who is doing a similar work. I also practiced Irish on duolingo during my lunch break, and I took the afternoon off to catch up with a friend to get gelato together. Self care things I did:

Read first thing in the morning

Did some drawing and creative work in my new bullet journal

Created the productivity list of my last month of thesis work

Took the afternoon off

Day Twenty-Eight:  What time do you usually go to bed? Do you have a bedtime or night routine? If so, share it with us! If not, what helps you get to sleep faster?

I don't really have a bedtime routine, I just brush my teeth, wash my face and try to read for more or less half an hour. I go to sleep quite early, I like to wake up early in the morning so by 22 I am in bed reading,more often than not even a bit earlier than that. To sleep faster, other than avoiding watching at screens for at least half an hour as I was mentioning, I normally get melatonin gummies. They have been very helpful in these past months. The thing is, although my sleep schedule is very regular, as soon as I am a bit more stressed and anxious than usual, sleep is the first thing that has consequences. I struggle falling asleep, I wake up multiple times, I have long periods of continuous nightmares. So I do everything in my power to help with sleep. Especially since as soon as I am slightly sleep deprived I become another person, I am much more easily annoyed and I just feel more tense and generally angry which I do not like at all.

name moodboard: annalise 

Sometimes I dream a sentence and write it down. It’s usually nonsense, but sometimes it seems a key to another world.

I do an internal little happy dance whenever I find a new study spot
