I Know I Was Just Griping About Finals And Asking For Tips For Actually Doing Stuff, But I'm Gonna Share

I know I was just griping about finals and asking for tips for actually doing stuff, but I'm gonna share what I find helpful during this crazy week before finals, and maybe it'll help some other folks out there :3

(this is definitely not me procrastinating nooooooo)

Get yourself some headphones! It can help put yourself into the mindset of "I'm gonna get some work done." Put some background noise on as well. I listen to Genshin music while I'm working on actually writing, and if I'm just copying down notes or doing something that doesn't require me to focus on words, I put on some lets-plays. Neurodivergent brain likes multiple things going on at once lol

If you're like me and you tend to game at your desk instead of work, don't actually sit at the desk. You're gonna be so tempted to stop what you're doing and go play some video games, and that's not entirely conducive to doing work. Go to your local library or another spot that's quiet where you can get some work done. I personally recommend somewhere that's at least a little public so that the space is full and there's stuff you can look at when you just need a little brain break

Okay I know I just said don't play video games when you're trying to get stuff done but. I've found playing Honkai: Star Rail and putting it in auto-battle and doing stuff while that's going on to be pretty helpful. I feel extra productive that way. I do it when I'm at home, especially when I'm cleaning or putting away my laundry, but if you have a game like that where it's easy to just grind, try it out!

Also. Clean your space. This is more a reminder to myself than me actually telling you to do anything, but it's also good if you need a brain break

BREAKS ARE SO IMPORTANT I DON'T THINK I CAN EXAGGERATE HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO TAKE A BREAK FROM STUDYING AND WORKING I'VE SAID "BRAIN BREAK" LIKE FIVE TIMES ALREADY FOR THE LOVE OF GOD TAKE A BREAK

Remember, we're all in this together. Take care of yourself, take care of others, and good luck! I believe in you!

I'm in a very "fuck it we ball" mood regarding finals and I probably shouldn't. But here we are

Witchcraft, Wisdom, Death...

You know, I should've expected to be writing a bunch of stuff for my finals since I'm. You know. An English major. But every semester it always surprises me
