achievements:

I finally got some work done today

I added an upcoming events page to my kpop notion tracker templates (saw someone add MV and dance practices as a database. It looked so cool. Might do it too)

I also finished editing the skincare page for the life planner template

I caught up with Bible study (missed a few days)

practised Spanish and Korean

"Leave Your Room!" Challenge - Day 2: The same coffee table (and past midnight study sesh again *sigh)

🤍- I couldn't sleep last night, so I continued doing some statistics again. I'm starting to love it! I'm addicted to Statistics now (maybe until I don't anymore, lol). And it was raining all day, so I couldn't go to the library (I ended up having a pretty long nap). That's why you see the laptop on a lil table in a dark, dimly lit room pic again (it's not the same as yesterday, I promise). Oh, and I just tamed my first Mount on Habitica today! It's a white tiger! (I love white!!)

What I did today:

Practiced Statistics

Studied 4 chapters (different subjects)

Updated June's content brief for the Growth Mindset campaign

I learned that:

Setting a time window to do an activity (e.g., work/study) rather than scheduling specific tasks works better for me. I like it more when I can think intuitively about what I should do in this session based on my mood or how fresh my mind is. Surprisingly, I did more when I did it like that than when I planned what I should do in detail.

I still don't know when I'm most productive, so I think I need to map my energy. Someone suggested doing hourly journaling. 

Setting down expectations makes me less stressed and more productive.

< TOMORROW >

Morning Routine

• Alarm off -> sit up -> drink water -> wash face • Make the bed • Stretching 10 mins

Focus goals

• Study 4 ch. • Have a clear goal for my other projects for the next two weeks.

Focus tasks 🌼

✅ To the library ✅ Study (8 AM - 12 PM) ✅ Work (2 PM - 5 PM) • Assess progress; figure out the next step • Intuitively choose something to work on on the spot.

"Leave Your Room!" Challenge - Day 3: Local Library

🤍 - Nothing fancy, but leaving your comfy bedroom is a game changer for a remote worker and online student like me. It goes to my achievement record :) + Look at that silly cat snoozing on the road without a care in the world >,<

Today I:

Did morning stretching, 10 mins

Studied 4 chapters

Modified the brand guide for the mediation house

< TOMORROW >

My plan is to keep studying every day, morning to noon, until exams (31 days left)

Write/draft 3 articles for the mediation house's blog (2 PM - 5 PM)

-

🌙 - I hate the unnecessary negative self-talk that I always did to myself. But I can't deny that I don't like my life right now. I don't blame anyone; I don't blame fate or whatever you call it that is not in my control. I just hate me for not being able to control myself.

Have you ever envied someone's hard work? Have you ever been jealous when you see people tired after accomplishing things or going through a packed day? For some people, leisure time and slow living are a luxury. I think they are, too, when you have them with a meaningful life. But I don't. My slow living is a product of my constant overthinks and escapism. 

Why can't I do it without any worries? Why can't I fall and stand up? Why can't I fail and grow stronger? Give me that failure after a whole hardship! I don't mind it! I just want to know how working hard feels without being repressed by my own mind.

🌲 End-of-month reflections 🌲

"Easy wins" vs "Eat your frog" ⚡🐸

I see this pattern of me falling into a prolonged slump (3-4 months) after maintaining pretty consistent and productive days for a month, and then I need quite a long time to get back on track again. I realized this some time ago, and I thought I shouldn’t push myself too much or beat myself up if I couldn’t achieve my ideal day. I acknowledge that my productivity could ebb and flow.

But the thing is, once I loosened my grip, even a little, I fell into this dark hole again. 

Sometimes, I’d wake up in the morning and do not feel like doing too much, so I let myself rest. However, I got carried away, which continued for days or longer. Sometimes, I’d start my day with good energy, but I spent too much time on smaller tasks, so I didn’t have enough time to do the crucial tasks. 

So, to keep my days going in any situation, I think I need to switch between the “easy win” and “eat your frog” strategies based on how I feel in the morning and how important the tasks that I have to complete that day are.

If I feel energized and motivated and have a “big task” to finish as soon as possible, I’ll eat my frog first, when my brain is still fresh and I have a lot of energy. But if I don’t feel it when I wake up (or if I wake up late), I need to accomplish my easy wins first, so I feel motivated to tackle bigger tasks.

For the best results, I need to make nightly planning (or listing whatever I need to do the next day) a habit so that I have an idea of how the day should go. 

On learning languages 🧠

I didn’t identify myself as a language learner, but I think I need to dedicate some time to studying my own language and English. 

I feel like I’m losing my ability to use my mother tongue because I’m exposed to English media too much and rarely interact with real people in person. I used to live in a boarding house full of workers who came home late (and I work remotely), so I only talked to them when we met in the kitchen or the living room. I have moved back in with my dad, who also comes home late, so we only have the chance to talk around dinnertime. It feels awkward when I try to write in my language because I barely use it these days, but when I write in English, I still can’t express myself freely the way I intend to 😅

I’m literally relying on my language and communication skills for a living when in reality, I suck at it!!! I must survive :(

I want to work on my spiritual wellness, finding peace and meaning in life 🤍

I think one of the reasons I struggle these days is that I don’t have a good sense of purpose. I don’t know exactly what I’m chasing or what I'm working for. I think I need to connect with my inner self to figure out that purpose so I can navigate through challenges with greater resilience. I want to have a balanced and fulfilling life. I want to experience a deeper sense of satisfaction and contentment mentally, emotionally, and physically.

How was May? 🌼

May wasn’t the most productive month, but it was way better than April. In April, I was almost like a living corpse, never leaving my room—or bed, even—to the point that my body was stiff, and I had thigh pains. In May, I started to feel alive again. I started finding my routine again and caught up on some responsibilities. Everyone has their own challenges, and this is the tiny win of the challenge for me. But that doesn’t mean I can ease up. I need to put in more effort to be better.
