so something that i used to do is i would not really check my email or notifications from
professors very often and i came to learn the hard way that that was a huge mistake
so for instance way back when when i was taking anthropology i didn't realize that
there were practice exams that i could go over before the exams until the end of the semester
but they had been in the original email that the professor had sent out and i just hadn't
read through the entire email and recently i've been getting a lot of notifications from my
classes about different resources and different updates so it's always really important to just
keep constantly really reading through and checking emails and notifications
from professors since you never know what important information might be in there
so
so two mistakes when it comes to organization is one not having a specific place for each class
so it can be a drawer it could be a cubby it could be a basket as long as all the files are
together in one place and then also something that i recently realized is super important
is having on a piece of paper because i'm a little paranoid and don't want it
somewhere in a digital device i have just one page with all of my passwords for everything
nobody knows my passwords except for me and my tiny little piece of paper
which i have locked in a chest and dumped in the bottom of the lake for the water spirits to
keep so yeah just to double check and make sure that nobody is getting my passwords
so something else that i found really important is constantly
trying to get up and move around during breaks just for a couple minutes
just to jump around a little bit there's actually this really interesting article about metabolism
and how just exercising for even tiny little super short bursts can be really helpful for your health
i recently got a jump rope which has been really great and just yeah moving around a lot helps keep
the energy up and also really helps your legs from getting super tired and falling asleep
and last but not least this is how i battle my perfectionism which in turn is procrastination is
by this thing that i just call five minutes better which is basically where anything that you've been
procrastinating on and feel like you have to be in the perfect mindset for to start you just tell
yourself five minutes better if there's a giant pile of dishes just make it five minutes better
or if you have a ton of work to do for school just make your assignments or make progress into
your textbook just make it five minutes better i don't know if that makes any sense at all but that
way it doesn't give me the excuse of having the perfect moment to start or the perfect life plan
and i can just start on my work and just try to make it five minutes better and it kind of helps
me get over the overwhelming procrastination and sheer dread that i feel doing something
