evening walk

Cut the dopamine supply. Work in short, controlled bursts (20-30 minutes max) — even when you feel like working longer. Leave tasks unfinished. This forces your brain to stay engaged in the background without burning out. Delay gratification. After each session, step away. Don’t check results or keep pushing. Low-dopamine environment. Limit phone use, social media, and even music that triggers a dopamine spike.

Not a lot of studying this week. Ended up submitting an assignment 2 week early, new module doesn't start for another week and prep materials haven't been released yet, and waiting for my supervisor to get back to me before I can start my phd application. Took advantage to have a break and enjoy some crafts.

You're tired but you have goals to reach and places to be!

Lots of work again this week, and I’m currently battling with my urge to play video games all day!

Missing my girlfriend, but hey at least I got a lot of stuff done!

Have a good week friends

first draft of essay

researched phd supervisors

completed assistive tech training

set up zotero

song: john hughes movie by maisie peters

feeling so much better now the first draft is done. it's taken a long time to get the assistive tech i need, but oh my god it's so good. i can't believe i've been working without adhd support this whole time. drafting this essay with the proper support was a breeze after struggling with it and previous essays for weeks. i may even had it in early.

The calm of spring begins these days , I have been reading lapvona, a slightly disturbing but quite interesting and addictive book !

Desk set up and journal spreads 📄💡

2025. 03. 10 | but the light!

I love the independence of doing a PhD! I thrive when I’m interested in what I’m doing (I am), I’m constantly learning (also), and I am not being micromanaged (I’m not!). I love my supervisor and the faith she’s showing me to get my own shit done.

I love my job.

I love my project.

My boss is so great.

I can’t tell how much of all this enthusiasm is coming from the sun and how much is real but I’m riding it.

song: what else can i do? from encanto by diane guerrero, stephanie beatriz

i had little to no motivation to do anything last week, but got a lot of my motivation back this week. constantly reminding myself that - especially with adhd - motivation follows action, not the other way around. also had a lovely couple of cafe study sessions with my sibling and my mum.

I want to be so disgustingly over-educated that I have more degrees than I know what to do with
