Currently Have No Motivation For Study :(

Currently have no motivation for study :(

So far i've had a fairly ~productive~ day; ♥ I woke up later than i wanted (~9am) but then got out of bed and showered in lukewarm water (cold for the last minute) for ~10 mins, did my hair and skin routine, made myself some pasta with olive oil (such a good healthy fat btw). Watched a video essay while eating, made myself an iced coffee (with too much sugar but it still tastes great) but now i'm stuck.

Currently fighting my ADHD to try and work on an assignment that's coming up in a couple weeks...

sigh...

I'm just going to try and write something probably really shitty that i can edit later to be better... better something than nothing right?

Then maybe i'll look at a different part of the assignment to see if that feels easier to do.

I wish i had ADHD meds, but this coffee will have to do. ♥

Let's do this!

MAKING YOUR PHONE TO BE INTENTIONAL

MAKE A VISION BOARD WALLPAPER. Create one that aligns with your goals and dream self, so that every time you pick your phone up, you’re reminded of your goals and future vision. Also, great for manifesting! 

KNOW YOUR APP’S PURPOSE. For me, tumblr is a way I share advice and learn, YouTube I also learn from others, pinterest I get inspired, netflix is a way for me to unwind etc. If for any app, you cannot name a proper purpose/intent to use it daily or to help with your goals, delete it. 

DECIDE WHICH TYPES OF APPS YOU WANT. If you have a new phone, or you want to completely reset your phone, write or type, the apps, that you want and those you don’t. 

E.g I want to learn a language, practice mindfulness on the go, get some mental gratification that isn’t addicting, organise my life better and have a way to track my progress. I don’t want apps that support doom-scrolling, make me compare myself and are addictive. 

BE MINDFUL OF WHAT YOU SIGN UP TO. Newsletters, social media, subscribing to YouTubers and so on, just think about your goals and vision and if they align with them, every time you think about signing up/subscribing. 

HAVE NO PHONE TIME/ZONES. For me, my phone is not allowed to be used in bed. If I must use my phone, I have to get out of bed first. My phone is also not allowed during study time, so I put it in a separate room which makes it inconvenient. 

REGULARLY DO A DIGITAL DECLUTTER. Delete any old contacts that you don’t talk to, unsubscribe from newsletters and YouTube channels, organise your socials etc. Removes space and helps us to see our phones with more clarity. 

SET PURPOSEFUL WIDGETS. These can be anything, motivational quotes, your daily to-do list, reminders of your habits and so on. However, make sure you’re looking at them and they're not just taking up space.
