2020 December 3rd

When you are balancing classes, homework, extracurriculars, and a full/part time job, it can be hard to find the necessary time to look after yourself. The important thing is to make good use of the small chances you get during the day! I’ve broken it up into time chunks, to make it easier.

Two Minutes

Brush your teeth/hair etc

Wash your face, or splash cold water on it

Drink a glass of water

Stretch! (especially if you've been sitting down for awhile)

Five Minutes

Take the stairs!

Jumping jacks/squats (I do them all the time behind the counter at work!)

Take a break and eat a piece of fruit

Ten Minutes

Walk instead of bussing

Reapply sunscreen if needed

Take a power nap if you need one

Do a short meditation

Twenty Minutes

Find a short yoga routine on youtube

Go for a quick run

Take a longer nap

Write in a journal/ Notebook if that's your thing

Thirty Minutes

Workout

Do a full yoga routine

Run/walk around your block a few times

Take the time to prepare a special, healthy snack for yourself!

One Hour or More

Workout weights or cardio

Tidy your room/ office space

Catch up on other duties (to relieve stress)

Prepare a meal and make enough for a lunch the next day

As its summer in half of the world, I’d like to remind my friends in the northern hemisphere that health in the heat means drinking cold liquids to stay hydrated, wearing sunscreen to prevent burns and skin damage, and spending time in the shade throughout the day! 

Take Care of Yourselves!

100 Days of Productivity - Day 75/100 April 17, 2018

Today I wrote up IPT notes, completed an ancient history research table, finished reading The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, and drank a lot of tea. The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society is such a beautiful book, I can feel it creeping to the top of my ‘favourite reads’ list!

JULY 12 / 23

first pages of the new journal, I always feel like it takes me a bit of time to get into a new book, or maybe I’m just being lazy for a bit 🤪 rest up!

It’s funny how life works. It’s funny how what first seems like a failure can actually turn out to be an opportunity for a new adventure. It’s funny how anger from one blocked road can be turned into excitement when another opens. It’s funny how your efforts can be rewarded in ways you never thought were possible. You may not always take the road you thought you would, and the path can be windy at times, but life has a way to lead you right where you’re meant to be. From my studygram

— before and after

ig: herdrafts Since I’ve got a pen pal and I need to save paper, I transfer my Chinese and Japanese notes on these two notebooks. The pattern is still the same: dialogues, vocabulary and grammar. This morning I had a very sweet breakfast, I watched a subbed anime and I reviewed some past lessons I had forgotten I had forgotten.
