Productivity & Accountability Thread

[Cirice]

For this week (08/05 - 08/11) I must:

- Play Ring Fit Adventure at least twice (tuesday & saturday would be optimal)
- Write a letter to a friend
- Declutter cardboard boxes that are piling up in my room.
- Try to finish my Magnificent Memories piece.

Managed to write 15 thousand words for the rough draft of my manuscript in less than two weeks! I'll definitely have to go back and add more dialogue and descriptions to the scenes I'm writing later, but so far I'm happy with how it's turning out.

 

[Giddy]

Gonna try and focus on the colouring activity and adding more to my rough arts for canvas crossing
While also trying to get some work search done.
Feeling a lil sick thinking about it all but that may be because I haven't had anything to eat for breakfast

Need to start logging my study hours per day in terms of my lecture videos.

Sept 10 - 7 hours
Sept 11 - 6.5 hours
Sept 12 - 8 hours

Tomorrow I will be pretty busy with Splatfest + irl events, but I'm hoping to get maybe 4-6 hours of lecture video at least depending on how hard Pharma is. Saturday I actually won't be able to study at all, maybe 1-2 hours tops but I doubt. Sunday I'll squeeze in 4 hours at the very least, maybe 6 hours if I'm feeling motivated by the end of the day.

School's getting into full swing, and my grades actually matter this year, so here's what I need to do so far:

• Finish QoL comparison
• Finish identity collage + written piece
• Research Hamilton-Burr duel
• Learn basic drawing skills
• Finish career sheet
• Organize binder
• Do math sheets
• Get school supplies I forgot + new binder (???)
• Study for learner's license (not for the faint of heart, one of my friends failed 3 times before they passed)
• Get lyrics for drama project
• Finish The Sun and the Star so I can get started on my literacy book
• CLEAN MY GOD FORSAKEN ROOM (I genuinely can't remember the last time I cleaned, I should seek help)

You can do it!!!! I know it seems like a lot but later on it'll be so worth it. Also I love the Sun and the Star, I have a signed copy.

Is this where people post their schedules and stuff?

Pretty interesting. I thought this was going to be about discussing productivity habits and how to improve on them. Speaking of which, I popped in to say that I can be pretty terrible at that. ^^;

I am a notorious procrastinator and I often wait until late at night to start my homework. I usually end up finishing before the due date, though. My autism and overstimulation by noise are major factors in making me overwhelmed by the school environment, which contributes to my lousy productivity.

There are moments where I feel productive, though. A while ago, I went to the library after school and finished my math homework before my sister came and picked me up to go home.

Well, I think we're free to post productivity habits and tips as well :] I'm honestly still such a bad procrastinator so I'm not some shining example.

Do you find yourself more productive in certain places, or doing certain stuff? I think it's good to explore what makes you do stuff. I found myself more productive at night so I've become a night owl, but I have the leisure of doing so rn because I don't have much else to do during the day. If you're overstimulated by noises, maybe going to the library or investing in noise-cancelling earphones can help. ^^ Also, it may take some time to actually get into the mood to be productive, so my mindset has always been to just do it, y'know? I have to force myself to start. Eventually I get immersed in what I'm doing. I've also set all my gadgets on Do Not Disturb more, and I have a pomodoro phone on my app just to see how long I've been studying.

Anyway uh for my productivity today, I'm just trying to get back into the groove of things. Pathology is kicking my butt rn so I'm not as fast with the lectures, plus I've been a bit sick the past few days so I'm falling behind. Got in 5 hours of lecture today which is less than I had hoped for, so I'll try to be better the next few days. My goal is around 7-9 hours of lectures every day for the next 3 days, can't afford to slack anymore. I'm planning to do 3 hrs in the morning, 3 hrs in the afternoon, and 3 hrs in the evening.

Loose time sched but I can do 9-11:30 AM, 1:30-4:00 PM, then maybe 7:00-10:00 PM.

Ah well, wasn't able to do much last Sunday ^^; was kinda sick still + went out of the house for a good portion of the night.

Anyway, today was pretty productive! 7.5 hours of lecture. I should be able to finish pathology by Wednesday as long as I keep this up. then just anatomy/histology and whatever I missed in surgery and internal medicine.

This weekend I am going to try and do a few things, may be a bit much but I really need to get things done while it's not the Mon-Fri.

I need to finish that course acitvity, quite simple to do, I dunno why my brain is malfunctioning. And since teams won't let me communicate or add it to the thing, my teacher I can tell is already mad with me since the deadline is gone. I'm not too happy how it just seems going too fast for the first time? When I have never used adobe illstrator before.

Anyways,
I am trying to do these daily prompts for a vanguard thing on tumblr, and I wanna try and do a bit more of my artwork for it, and some short stories I plan to write for it.

I need to look at the list of the publishing companies I found on Linkedin, and plan to see if there's any work or at the very least ask for any work experience or volunteering. Because, I have looked at job sites and there is literally nothing to apply for.

Want to clean my bedroom up a bit, and try and help my mum with chores.

I've not had the energy to prepare lunch/cook dinner after work this week and have lived off of toast & peanut butter, supermarket sandwiches, and pesto pasta as a result. So I'm dedicating this weekend to batch cooking.

Cook:

• paneer & kidney bean masala
• pulled pork
• sausage & vegetable casserole
• tomato & courgette halloumi pasta bake
• root vegetable soup

Should make approx 25 meals. Everything except the pasta bake can be frozen.

 

[moonbyu]

- finish all my module quizzes.

- complete case study
- finish presentation for thursday

This went fairly well! I managed to prepare 4/5 of the recipes I'd planned and also hardboiled 10 eggs for work snacks for the week. I wasn't able to make the pulled pork because I've not been able to get hold of a pork shoulder. I've one coming tomorrow evening though so I'll either leave that in the slow cooker overnight or (more likely) while I'm at work on Tuesday.

So I made 20 meals! I consider this a success.
Well, now 18 - as I had some of the curry for dinner yesterday and I polished off a portion of the halloumi bake as soon as it came out of the oven today.

 

[Giddy]

My course is tomorrow, so I want to try and use adobe since I have free access to it. Wish me luck, I've not been entirely fond of the first lesson, and finding out there's no break for the three hours being there.

Gonna check what UC is going on.

As said before, I didn't get around to checking linkedin for the publishing companies again.

Try and do some writing for the story prompts! Can't wait for work to finish today XD

 

[Kattea]

• Stained a deck
• Set up a face trade for some cute antique night stands
• Somehow managed to bring food to a potluck dinner

Oof, I should've been using this thread a long time ago. I've realized that I have a lot of stuff I need to do, so hopefully this thread should help me.

• Finish my fanfic writing prompts (As of today, I have 1/8 done.)
• Practice guitar for at least 1 hour
• Go for a walk with my dog
