19.08.20 // Finally Found A Planner I Like! Already Filling It With To Do Lists And Work Schedules 📝📖

Called out

I’ve started using notion for my productivity/schedules. I really like it :O I also started using it for some of my class readings, even though the semester is almost over. Def gonna use it for my notes and class organization next semester :)

Ahhh I failed on the 2020 quarantine challenge so here’s to hoping I’ll do better at this!

Hi everyone! I’ve so enjoyed doing my 2020 quarantine challenge and getting to know so many of you (and discovering your amazing blogs) that i’ve decided to create this new SUMMER STUDYING CHALLENGE! i did consider continuing my other challenge but my school year has now ended and the way i study in the summer and my priorities is very different compared to during school time - which i’m sure is the same for may of you! I’ve created this challenge to try and keep myself motivated during the summer (because i am ridiculously busy XD) but i also want to use this time to get to know many more of you and stay motivated together  💕 

(also i know that many people struggle for ideas of what to post during the summer so hopefully these will give you some ideas. 

✨ Info ✨

This challenge will run from Monday 13th July 2020 to Sunday 6th September 2020, which is two months.  However, please feel free to join in and start any time if you come across this challenge after the 13th July because i want this challenge to be accessible for everyone! 

I have daily prompts for each of this entire time. You don’t have to post every day (you could, for example, cover all the prompts in one post at the end of the week) and you also don’t have to post for the entirety of the challenge (for example if your summer break ends before the 6th September). But i will be posting every day for the whole time and want to interact with as many of you as possible!!!

I want to see what you are posting so please use the tag #summer studying challenge and I’ll track this tag and reblog as much as possible!

On this note, I will reblog basically everything even if you don’t think it is ‘aesthetic’ cause I love seeing how everyone does their notes and stuff so please get involved 💕

66/100 days of productivity 🥥🍋

Today was good! I feel super tired but I got through my to do list and sent a few emails. I’ve been toning down how much I do every day more recently since it’s now the summer and I want to relax, even if we didn’t have the exams we still worked super hard these past two years and it’s nice to not have to deal with any more of that! Have you guys met up with any of your friends in person yet?

Fri - What is your favourite subject/topic to study at the moment?

Ah right now it’s probably psychology because my EPQ is based on Elizabeth Loftus’s experiments regarding eyewitness testimony. It’s really interesting stuff and I’m so excited to work on it 🥰✨
