y’all im so sorry for the lack of posts, the chronic illness is seriously chronic illnessing and genuinely everything hurts (even typing this) 😞

#cosmo chat

anyways. here's how i'll be starting my spring:

productively (and prettily): i definitely wanna work on my goal setting and being more productive in my work time. pomodoro timers have been super fun to help me stay on task. i have a post coming up about goal setting as well ^__^

abundantly: going to go into spring with an abundance of knowledge and hopefully exit with a wealth of new things! i have a bunch of new hobbies i've been starting and i hope to maintain them all.

cleanly: a big goal! wanna get into cleaning more often, because it's a dreaded task. trying to start a daily/weekly/monthly cleaning routine.

openly: want to begin this month with an open mind and heart. going to try to read more, and see more from the other side :)

welcoming april with loving and open arms!

we're all stepping into this new month at the top of a new week. it's a new beginning! if you gummed up this month, don't beat yourself up over it- just know that this is a new start.

hal borland said "No winter lasts forever; no spring skips its turn. April is a promise that May is bound to keep, and we know it.” so even if this cold season has seemed long, it's coming to an end soon. let go of the grievances you're carrying through the snow, and come out like a new flower bud. :)

paper notes ❤️

sorry notion girlies… i’m a biased paper note taker. i actually have a notion, but i never use it lol 😭 doing stuff physically works sm better for me

i just wanna talk about some benefits of physical/digital notes, and how i keep mine cute :)

THE BENEFITS

taking notes physically has been shown to help improve memorization (01). another thing i’ve noticed for myself is that i tend to just copy when i take digital notes since there’s more space, but with physical notes i rephrase and consider the notes as i take them.

this venn diagram (taken from 02) shows some basic information about different ways of taking notes. paper is slower but generative; laptop is faster but nongenerative.

for me, i’m willing to make that sacrifice because long term retention is my goal, not quick memorization. but if it isn’t a class you’ll need for a long time (eg. my drama class) i think digital can work.

one last thing- when i’m studying, i have trouble going over my notes again bc i find it boring. with physical notes, this is usually when i highlight and make them cute, so it forces me to look over them again. speaking of which:

THE AESTHETICS

so fun fact: you don’t need fancy supplies for cute notes. i use a three ring binder from staples, some cheapy plastic dividers, office depot pencils and some pastel bics.

if you like pens, then def get some in cute colors! pentel are my holy grain, but they are sort of expensive. i had every color but most of them have run out of ink by now.

thin mechanical pencils >>> i don’t have any at the moment but i’m definitely getting more soon. love them. perfect for details.

good highlighters!! these are so important to me. i have pastel bics but i wanna get mildliners sometime soon.

cute bullet point shapes. i do hearts, stars, flowers, etc…

stickers sticker stickers! i put stickers on everything they are so amazing, they make everything cuter

if you wanna get fancy, try washi tape

also little cutouts are great!

sticky notes for trivia q’s and corrections and such since you can flip them up :) i have see through ones and they’re great

today i worked on: math project (one graph, no characteristics; cover), biology project, drama script

grateful for: my biology partner putting up with my bullshit!! when i'm studying i like to reward myself with coloring breaks, and usually it's stuff for projects. so i tend to have really elaborate poster boards. she's bringing me a bunch of scrapbooking supplies to put on it ehehe

sotd: tchaikovsky's child's song from the soundtrack of preludes

had a solid 2 hours of work time today :) have more math to work on, but that's alright, i have a week for the project and i'm making decent progress

the motivator

if you're having trouble getting motivated these r all tricks i swap between to get to work. no big intro. fatigue has been fatiguing lately, so sorry about the sporadic post schedule- it's hard to keep up with this and school lol, especially seeing as there's only a few weeks to exams

reminder, by the way; there's a difference between "unmotivated" and "tired"!! if your body is telling you "hey lets not" then maybe listen to that <3 i keep learning that the hard way, haha

the action

set a timer for 10-15 minutes; enough time to get started, and tell yourself you'll only work that long. usually by the time the timer goes off i'm already in a flow.

similarly; do the same thing but with a tangible amount of work (eg "5 math problems" "1 paragraph of my essay" "one chapter of my book")

set out a treat for yourself (like a candy you like or something you'd like to do) for after you're done

this is more preemptive but set screentime limits! my password is one i use on literally nothing else and i always forget it, it's a hassle to look for it in my notes so i use my phone less and it makes me do other stuff

or, hide distractors from yourself. you fidget too much? remove that. on your phone? put it in a drawer. out of sight, out of mind

pomodoro timers never worked for me, but i get why they might :)

the words

remember the last time you put off this kind of work and how you felt afterwards. stressed, nervous, unpreprepared...

or, remember how you felt last time you finished a hard assignment. relieved, proud...

even if you mess up now, it's a failsafe. this is practice for the real deal. and if you don't practice now, then you can't get to the actual part.

practice how you play! if you treat school like this, then other things will be harder. self motivation is such a crucial skill.

if you're stressing over it now, why not just get it done with? that way you can stop being so worried about it

whatever you want right now (tiktok, video games, tv shows) will be there in the exact same quantity and value when you're done. but, if you put off work for long enough, the value diminishes- late penalties if it's accepted at all! always pick the urgent.

plus, imagine how nice school will be when you can relax with nothing extra to work on... (honestly? it's kind of boring, i do it)

anyways your reminder to instill your spirit into everything. create love and positive energy through everything you do.

yesterday i decided to clean my closet. i haven’t seen the closet floor since 2019- it always just scared me too much. but i cracked out a duster and a stepladder and got it done with.

it took 2 hours and i was exhausted by the end. but i found all these little memories- dolls, bags, notes and jewelry, all that i had forgotten. and now i hang the things i love in there and inject my joy into the space. as i do with my room, and my school bag, and my purse, and my bottle… all full of my love.

don’t be afraid to ruin or break it, make your energy known in your space. you’ll feel the love you’ve shown it reflected soon enough.

i also have a hematite and a mixed quartz bracelet that i wear but i’ve never felt those ones as intensely???

crystal girlies help… what does black obsidian do?

i got a necklace from my mom and it’s fully obsidian (obsidian beads and pendant), since i started wearing it i feel like i’ve been resistant to negative energy.

like, i have some friends i’ve been pissed with- usually by now i would’ve given in and chatted them up, but literally i feel no inclination to be near them rn. like i am only feeling my energy.

kinda crazy but i love it

ignorance is bliss ❤️

look, i’m all about protecting your peace here. and sometimes, you see something and your first thought is to jump and react.

but hun… sometimes it really isn’t that deep. you gotta just stop and think, “do i actually care enough to step out of myself and disrupt someone else’s peace, let alone mine?” these questions help that consideration.

Why am I offended? What does that say about me?

• this is the most difficult one and i’d like to open with it. this whole journey is about ourselves, right? so why did that hurt your feelings? what about it made you want to react, and what is that saying about YOU?

• if someone made an ironic tiktok about a type of person they don’t like, and your instant reaction was offense, you probably see yourself in that video. instead of becoming instantly upset, see an opportunity for growth. this is helping you become your better self.

2. If my best friend said it, would I care this much?

• be fully honest. if the original comment was a joke, then don’t say it was “fully serious”. if this was someone close to you, would you still feel inclined to bring it up? if the answer is no, then you shouldn’t here either.

3. How long into the future will this affect me?

• not “how long will your correction affect them”. we are talking about you. if it’s less than a month, you do not need to care.

• also consider how it might affect you. is causing a potential argument over this going to risk something- a disciplinary reaction, loss of a friend, etc? weigh those odds.

4. Think about the person. Will they change with your correction?

• some people never change. and i’m not saying to be upset with them for that too, but be aware. if they’re set in their place, you don’t need to waste time trying to change their opinion.

• online, check the comment section. is everyone else saying the same thing you want to? you don’t need to beat a dead horse. move on.

5. After deeply considering all of these points, do you even care that much?

• sometimes all it takes is a moment of consideration to realise “wow. this isn’t actually something i care about. huh.”

• and, hey. if you DO still care? go for it! because this is something that will actually matter to you without hurting you.

3.6.24

i actually had sm less to get done today than i thought i did. we started a new unit in algebra today and i really thought i would be fighting tooth and nail to get a hold of it, but after a little bit of review it doesn't seem that bad. but that's just rn haha

i'm getting to the point in the year where i need to start building out my schedule for next year. i'm already slated for two ap classes (precal & world his) and i'm thinking about adding ap es to that list and skipping out on chem. i really don't like chem, but a bunch of my friends who already took ap es said the teacher is a lil kookoo. i can't decide ;_;

grateful for: my counselor, for letting me visit tomorrow and blab her ear off about science classes

mood: headachey

sotd: quise quererte, joaquina
