feeling extra exhausted today that i needed a second cup of coffee

Study tips that actually helped me

1. study LESS but study BETTER- probably heard this 1000 times but I kid you not I used to feel guilty for not studying 25 hours a day like my classmates but turns out I was studying more effectively

2. Flame meditation- just stare at a candle flame for 5 mins and watch your focus going sky high

3. Handwrite your notes and make them pretty

4. Binaural/adhd beats help if you struggle with concentration

5. Study to prove to your enemies that you are better than them - this might be controversial but it works for me, please don't attack me

6. BINDER- this shit legit changed my life like you can bind every single thing in this. I personally don't like keeping 1000 different notebooks, I just write everything on a piece of paper and bind them all together

7. Getting rid of that toxic friend that lies to you "I haven't studied anything" get's 95

Tuesday 11/16/21

Another productive day! Spent my 9-5 doing lab work. I felt focused and got through my list of things I had to do:

Mouse colony management: wean and sack cages and grab DNA samples for genotyping

Sectioned 3 brains

Started IHC staining for 5 brains

I was listening to a video on how this former PhD student structured his day and have been implementing it. Basically, the moment you get into lab, immediate . But TLDR, he structured his day like this:

Get into lab and do the most dreaded task first (think Eat the Frog)

1.5-2 hours of focused, flow-type work

0.5-1 hour of low-focus tasks (checking emails, planning experiments, etc)

Lunch

1.5-2 hours of focused work

0.5-1 hour of low-focus tasks

Done

After dinner, I worked on my abstracting for Twist for 2 hours. I feel quite good about my progress. Today, I synthesized the information I've been reading and summarizing into short paragraphs describing where Twist is expressed in embryonic mouse and in adult human, how Twist is linked to craniosynostosis, and how Twist-induced craniosynostosis is relevant to the study of corticogenesis when Twist is not expressed in the brain and craniosynostosis is a skull malformation. Tomorrow, I will finish my reading of Twist1-induced craniosynostosis and neurodevelopmental delays, and I can eventually move on to more careful readings of papers on Twist1 functions in skull and meninges development later this week.

hi everyone, it’s been a while ツ 

a little life update: i recently just started my second year of college in leapmed and aaaah it’s so tiring (saturday classes suck), but i love what we’re learning so it’s all worth it. also, the med school admission test is just a few months away and i don’t know if i have enough time to study for it. oh and lastly, i redecorated my room! what do you think? :)

thanks for following me on here guys, it’s always lovely to meet new friends ♡︎

07.10.2020 // we’re well into autumn at this point, but here are some of my 2020 summer faves! i wore these earrings nearly every day and boy brow’s sneaked it’s way into my makeup bag - as far as i’m concerned, it’s worth the hype

day 7 - What is your goal for your studyblr for the next few months?

i don’t really have a solid goal, as i’m just focused on surviving the semester and spreading motivation as best as i can - so i guess you could say the goal is to just keep the blog running and continue meeting lovely people :)

07.18.21. i've realized that i'm most productive in the morning, but i have to be at work at 9am sharp. solution: waking up early, dragging my limp, uncaffeinated body to the library, and trying to work on postbacc apps for an hour before work. being an adult... wouldn't recommend.

I can’t believe it‘s already 2020. I feel like 2019 passed so quickly. But as you know, new year new me. I am ready to live my best life and stop procrastinating but instead be the most productive I have ever been.

Yesterday I didn’t do anything, on New Year’s Eve I was at a party and celebrated and I let myself relax and Wednesday. That’s why I tried to wake up early today and studied a bit. These is a revision spread of my lecture summary.

I hope you have a productive day!

I am entirely consumed by my dissertation. After months and months of stagnation and brain fog, to work so hard at something and actually see progress is bliss.
