Literally do your work as soon as you know it exists. If you get homework, do it during your free or when you get home or on the train if you really want to, on the day you get it. Just got set an assignment? Get the draft done that weekend. It doesn’t have to be amazing and absolutely ready to send in, it just needs to exist. Just got sent an email? Reply when you see it. If you’re not sure how to response to it, write Dear (), leave a gap and then write Regards () and keep that in your drafts. Set a reminder on your computer or write the reminder on a sticky note that you’ve got that sitting in your drafts and you need to send it off in the next 24 hours. Need to clean your room? Don’t spend time thinking or planning how you’re going to clean it or how you’re going to change up the space in the process, just pick stuff up and put it where it should be until everything’s in order. Done. Seriously dude, when a task arises as an issue, tackle it as soon as you realise it exists. Remember, it doesn’t need to be amazing it just needs to be done. So, when the due date of the task creeps closer, you can go back, work with what you have and make it the quality you want it to be.

just read a quote which goes something similar to ‘if michelangelo had been alive today, he wouldnt have been painting ceilings, he’d have been making cgi films or developing 3D printing’ and i just imagined Michelangelo surrounded by hundreds of his incredibly gay statues, only in brightly coloured plastic, 3D printed form.

tbh the women of House of Cards are so goals. I feel like if I’d just be 10% more Claire I could achieve all my academic goals.

16th october 2015 : i’m officially halfway through my first semester ! it’s been a long ride and i’ve gotten in 3/6 of my subject internal assessments for the IB and after the holidays, we still have a couple more to go, as well as my Extended Essay final copy and my first TOK essay draft due in ~ and on top of that, i have revision to do since we have a round of mock exams in 12-13 weeks time. probably one of the things i need to prepare for the most is Biology HL so here i am, familiarising myself with the concepts for dna replication/transcription/translation/gene expression and other key biological process. im going to be doing much more of this over the half-term holidays.
