things I do to keep me productive

a whole day of classes is definitely tiring and leaves me not having enough time to study, but when I had the time to study, I find myself feeling tired and unmotivated. these were some things I do or rely on to keep myself going:

1️⃣ using study timer

doesn’t have to be a fancy one, but I’ve been really liking the pomodoro function in the YPT app. for those who don’t know what YPT is, it’s a free minimal study tracker/planner app meant to help you stay focused!

2️⃣ taking power naps in between

honestly, if you find yourself feeling sleepy half way into doing your readings, it’s time to stop. because you couldn’t possibly absorb a thing you read when you could only think about falling asleep, and you’d only waste more time, so close that laptop and take a power nap to recharge!

3️⃣ plan your tasks during the day

I’ve been there, just mindlessly doing whatever comes to my mind, then regretting that I didn’t start on something first. I always make sure to plan out what I’m going to complete for the day in my notion, whether that’s readings, assignments to work on, projects. make sure it’s not too much and manageable for that day only, or you’ll find yourself feeling too guilty of not getting to everything!
