these are some books that i've bought recently. expecting lispector and camus of me should be common sense by now. and of course, literary theory. 🤍

clarice has been a great company these days. she speaks about god thru lóri's point of view, her believes, and it sounds a lot camus' absurdism! she says 'if i wanna pray, it would be to the cosmic or to Nothing'.

rainy days and depression, love to see it. 🌧🤍

probably will finish in the margins by ferrante today.

i need to choose another but it's hard when you have many clarice books in your shelf and not think about picking one up.

i'm not doing ok since my birthday (feb 16th). it's raining a bit these days, so it makes my days better. thank god nature. 🌧🤍

also, it's time for restart studying: manifesting.

i received these three clarice lispector books today! i'm so happy and ready to read her works. i already had other three.

pretty amazing, isn't it? the covers are crazy. i'm gonna start with the second one, água viva - my friend told me so.

apart from that, the days have been a little bit harder, and i can't wait for traveling. i need to get away.

but back to the books: i think i'm gonna really start a booktube. for that, i need to get over my shyness. i might not do it, i always leave projects halfway or 'noneway'.

hope everyone is having an amazing day. take care. 🤍🌧

read 'infocracia' with wine yesterday night and finished 'the right to sex' tonight which was good but not great. my plans are to read a bit more of 'lolita' or 'crime e castigo' tomorrow and find a better mindset, cause honestly i've not been feeling good lately.

hope everyone is having a good time in life. 🤍🌧

Does anyone else use Notion to take notes and stay organized?

I thought I'd list a few tips of making Notion more fun to use as you study/journal! And perhaps some of it is already SUPER obvious so I'm sorry if this list ends up being useless🥹💗.

I'll be using a mock-garden journal template to point out the tips!

1. Add emojis to your database titles—or to everything!

Add emojis to everything! It can honestly make it more fun to look at, even the calendar above looks cuter (double click to zoom in)!

But if that is a little overwhelming, but you still want to use emojis in a “quaint” way, you can make your database title a series of emojis. Like below!

I clicked the three dots, then clicked “edit database title.” I chose three tulips just to keep it on my garden-theme. So cute! 🌷🌷🌷

......................

2. Utilize the calculate button—in case you didn't know how to!

Maybe you already new this but I struggled to figure this out at some point lol! At the very bottom of a table right after the "+ New page" row, if you hover you'll see the "calculate" row.

When you want to add/average/whatever just click the "More options"! Yay, math!

......................

3. Solid colors as covers (from Unsplash) are very relaxing!

This one is super simple. I find that sometimes a solid cover for gallery pages is really nice to look at.

So I’m prone to typing specific shades I’m looking for into the Unsplash menu:

What I do is, I click a page, go to 'change cover' and choose Unspalsh. Then type in something like “pastel green” or “baby pink”. If the options aren’t enough, you can go directly to unsplash.com and find a free one! Example below of lovely solid colors!

......................

4. Easily change card sizes to adjust your galleries aesthetic

You can easily change card size to a just the aesthetic of your galleries ! Go to the little three dots at the top of your gallery (shown above), click layout, then card size! Now you can choose between S, M, L!

Bonus tip: if you go to ‘card preview,’' still under layout, you can choose what will be displayed on the front of your cards.

In the above example, I chose ‘page content’ 'cuz all the bullet points and todo lists looked so neat! Hehe! But you can choose 'page cover' if you have a fun image/color.

......................

Ands that’s all my loves! Let me know what you think in the comments! <3

If you like the look of these template snapshots and you coincidentally need to organize your garden project or any other project that fits the vibe (hehe), you can get it for free! I'll pop the link to it in the comments!

I hope this is helpful-ish!

HUGS!

The first week’s been pretty cool, the teachers can be intimidating but the experience is fun. I think I accidentally grew into those people who take cool notes with memo pads, annotations, and highlights during class hehe <33

Guess who's back , back again?

This week was super tough! My sister was really sick with a fever, and my mom had a small surgery. I had to take care of everything at home, which was a lot of work. As a result,I got sick too. But we're all slowly feeling better now, and that's a big relief!

Today was a bit productive, I managed to squeeze in some study sessions.

Half Kinematics Chapter done.

Revised Plant Growth And Development chapter.

Given how I'm feeling, I'm surprised I got anything done at all - so that's a small win, right?"

Photos from this week. I've been a bit busy this week, but at least I'm enjoying this semester's courses, especially Mineral Deposits and Ore Mineralogy. The pale pink mineral seen in the second picture is a Bornite! ✨️

Hey all,

I haven't posted in a long time, and I know that's not just a trick of the memory. It's been a long term, it's been a long year, honestly, and I'm not entirely sure when I'll post again. Hopefully soon? I know I said that last time, oops. In the meantime, here's some old pictures of a few Ancient History notes I never ended uploading.

Thanks for reading, and I hope you're productive this week!

Another not so productive day. I couldn't really concentrate on studies mainly because my class teacher sent the scorecard of the highest scorer in my class and she literally got a 99 Outta 100. I am really not the type to compare myself with people but this time I really didn't give even my 50% so I actually really regret that now. That stress made me binge watch the two eps of King the land and NGL it's really good. I have a day off tomorrow so I hope I can do some of the important stuff. I really hope to have the highest score in the July mock test 🥲

Literally the most productive day I have had in a while. I spent the whole day at my institute after class, and it was def so productive. After I came back at around 6 PM, I lazed around for a while and then completed some of my chem notes. It felt so good to be productive. Hoping to spend more days like this.

Pretty ironic how I did the most study today than I did the whole week. I did a whole lot of math and physics and did some of my missing chem notes. I am trying to avoid making the notes aesthetic because they take a bit too much time and at the moment I have more important stuff to cover than colouring my notes, no matter how much I love it, sometimes we gotta prioritise. Hoping to keep up the productivity tomorrow as well. Btw I finished Dr. Romantic 2 and I am desperately in need of its new season. There is a lot right now on my watchlist but I don't think I'll get to finish it before I finish my backlogs. Keep me in your prayers.

It was my cousin's 1st birthday, so I went to his house, a Lil while after I came back from classes, to help with the decor and all. It was pretty fun and pretty boring, I really enjoyed the food though and the cake was delicious. Nothing much really happened and yeah I def didn't study again. At this point I am not even procrastinating anymore, life is getting more and more stuff to do instead of studying. Hoping to prioritise my study.

Just another boring day.

I am trying to increase my speed in solving math problems but I think I need to keep at it for quite some time. I finally completed a chemistry chapter, which was something I must have done cuz my teacher started another chapter, so it's easy going along with the teacher. I am also not able to keep up with reading since, I get really sleepy when I am done with studies. I still have a heck of a work to cover so I think I urgently need to learn to sit and study for long hours. An easy way to do so is to stay back in my institute after classes, which I have been wanting to do for a week, but unable to do so for one reason or another. I really hope I do sit back there for at least a couple hours after class since it'll help me cover a lot of work in a little time. Fingers crossed 🤞

PS: Since it's mango season, I am having a lot of those lately, as I love mangoes. So, today I made some Mango milkshakes too.

Daily blog #1 [Sunday,11-6-23] Had a pretty busy day, even though it was a Sunday today. I guess Sundays will be busier since I have to complete a week's worth backlog. NGL the Pinterest's beauty with brain study motivation is helping a lot. I finally started a book after a long time and my love for classics is only increasing with this. I am refraining from reading more than a chapters to keep my hard fixed sleep schedule alright(it is still not ideal but I am trying). Trying my best to hold out this time. I really wish I get a good score this time. Signing off! User_liztical

Entry #1 : 18-10-24

week one of school is almost over, learnt new concepts. Excited to learn more the next week. Considering we have more class tests next week.

Mood: optimistic

I'm going to forget about yesterday. From now on, I'll give you my all, dear my future.

02.08.23

I studied for 6 hours today. It feels so good to study. I wish for academia to take over my life and consume me. I want to be a workaholic.

02.05.23

So, I've been pretty productive today. Did groceries and attended the lectures. Need to do a chap rn. I need to study and do well. I'll study till 9pm and then, sleep. Slept a good 10 hours yesterday. Sleep is the most important thing ever.

02.03.23

So, today, I got done with a lecture that I've been putting off since December. Feel much more productive. I have a long day tomorrow. I have 2 more lectures to go through and a 5 chap test of physics tomorrow.

The night sky see's it all~

Okay, so I need to start studying like crazy. Today I visited an academy which helps you prep for exams in the evening. I'll be joining it from tomorrow. I realised that I'm not just paying for learning, but for time allocation as well. I'm paying them to take my time so that I can get my life together. I hate how my self-accountability in terms of studying went downhill. I'll be waking up at 4 am from tomorrow.

Slacking off in the name of self care is not okay. Sometimes, the best thing that you can do for yourself is push yourself a bit more to secure the future that you've always dreamed of. 🌱 Productivity is self care 🌱

♡ studying when you don't feel like it ♡

Today, I honestly didn't feel like studying. I felt disappointed in myself because the test results got announced and I feel like I failed myself.

However I'm choosing not to dwell on that feeling. I studied quite a bit today and I didn't let my emotions hold me back. I'm pms-ing hard af too. >_<
