hey everyone! with the start of the new school year right around the corner, i thought i’d make my first ~studyblr masterpost~ in an attempt to consolidate some tips & goals that i’ve found helpful or that i plan to use for online classes. honestly, these might be useful even for in-person classes!

1. DEVELOP YOUR STUDY SYSTEM

it’s very easy for me to download files into multiple different folders, take notes in whatever notebook’s closest to me, or jot down dates on the back of envelopes. then, when i need to study or double check a syllabus or instructions, i have no idea where to look.  

instead: choose one or two methods of storing information. you can go all-online (notion, google drive, microsoft word, etc), all physical (notebooks, printing out worksheets and assignment info, etc), or a blend (storing readings online, but handwriting notes, for example). consider making a list of your classes and noting where to find your work for each class, so if you store your work for architecture class online but your history class in 2 separate notebooks, you don’t waste time looking in the wrong place. 

2. PLAN YOUR SCHEDULE

no, you don’t have to make a timetable for every minute of every day. but creating a general study schedule will allow you to mentally prepare for busy days and quickly see when you’re free. 

use an online calendar or planner to block off class and study time. then, add other categories, such as: sleep, mealtimes, pet care, exercise, naps, writing, reading, clubs, or other regular obligations. i’m guilty of making mine too detailed and usually up completely blowing off my minute-by-minute schedule, so making a vague timetable and then adding categories as time goes on is probably your best bet. life happens, and you can’t account for everything. i also like to use post-its on my door or mirror to remind me what i absolutely need to get done at certain times!

3. DON’T IGNORE ‘OPTIONAL’ WORK

your professor records weekly lectures and assigns reading to go along with it. you’re tempted to do just one or the other - maybe you’re tempted to watch the lecture and skip the reading or take notes from the reading and skip the lecture. don’t do it!!! make it a goal to do both!!!

find ways to make undesirable work more bearable. can you listen to lectures while making dinner or going for a walk? how about taking notes while listening to your favorite movie soundtrack? for me, even getting cozy with some blankets, comfy clothes, and tea helps. anything that makes you dread schoolwork is a win!!

4. GET OFF THE INTERNET

i am SO guilty of spending most my time on either tumblr, instagram, or tiktok (endless fyp? no clock? yeahhh my screen time isn’t great). going on instagram when i wake up somehow turns into an hour of…doing what? i have no idea. 

set reminders to do something without your phone. by this i mean: do not bring your phone with you. leave it at home when you go for a walk, don’t multitask watching a movie and answering emails, don’t browse social media while you eat. pick one or more ways to practice completely disconnecting for a while every day!. whether all of your classes are online or just a few (or none!), your brain really does need a break from screens. at the very least, try to avoid blue light before bed (yeah, i know you’ve heard this one before). for me, the tide app is a lifesaver, and i know a lot of you love forest. otherwise, set reminders using a calendar app or your alarm clock!

5. MONITOR AND CARE FOR YOUR MENTAL HEALTH

obviously miss rona has thrown a wrench in many of our plans for school, work, and life in general. if not, there’s no way it hasn’t impacted you in some way or another. pay attention to your thoughts, energy levels, and how you’re coping with recent changes. now’s a really good time to reach out for help if you’re able to; if not, there are various online resources and communities that might help you until you can. mental health support is for everyone. 

some masterposts and resources that may be helpful:

6. STAY CONNECTED ONLINE IF YOU CAN’T IN PERSON

the first month of my freshman year of college will be online, the rest of the semester will likely be online (though i will be on-campus), and i’m not allowed to see most of my friends. i’m guessing i’m not the only one! regardless of your personal situation, it can be really hard but so helpful to stay in touch with friends, family, and faculty. the first few months were full of zoom calls and virtual hangouts, but they might be dying down by now. 

send letters, set up virtual calls with far-away friends, go to office hours, or video call family members. this might be the hardest one on this list, seeing as most of us are suffering from zoom burnout already. to avoid the potential stress of spontaneous socializing, try scheduling a call once a week at a regular time, asking your friends to facetime later, creating a weekly study group for your classes, watching netflix with someone using an extension like netflix party, texting acquaintances to check in, sending letters/emails to older family members, getting involved in an online community (this is studyblr promo :D) or making a goal to go to office hours once a week/twice a month, etc. 

hopefully these gave you a few ideas on how you might get organized and tackle online classes this year!

2019 Goals/Resolutions

I carefully thought through my goals for the upcoming year. None of these is actually something that could be done in a week. They’ll take time and energy and I can’t wait! At the bottom you can read about how I want you to join me on my path to dream life! 

I divided my goals into five cathegories: Mind (includes school and work goals), soul, body, social and financial.

Mind:

Read at least one book every month

Learn to drive

Study ahead for graduation 

Learn to cook

Soul:

Create something every week (drawing/writing)

Learn more about tarot and other spiritual things

Get more plants and learn how to take care of them properly

Learn how to use make-up and create my own fashion style

Get more habits into my life (meditation, streatching etc.)

Work on my confidence

Reduce waste i leave behind

Body:

Start doing yoga

Go for a walk/go jogging twice a week

Get physically strong (start strenght training)

Get my goal weight (Let me just say that my goal weight is the most healthy weight I can be at. it’s the weight recommended by my doctor and the weight I feel best with)

Social:

Spend time with family at least once a week

Spend more time with my little brother

Find at least one new friend

Hang out with people more

Financial:

Save up to 20 000 Kč (around 880 dollars)

Now the fun part! I want you to join me! Every week I’ll work on something out of this list. It can be incorporating a habit into my life or just trying out something new. This is how I want it to work:

Before the week starts I’ll post about what we’re doing and the rules. if you want to join you can reblog or just message me.

Week goes by and we’ll work on it by ourselves. I might post a little notes about it but nothing too big.

At the end I share results. If you joined you can reblog with your own results or again just message me how it went! I’d love to do it with you all!

I wish you all love and happiness in 2019. Please let me know if you’ll want to join!
