Self Discipline Tips

self discipline tips

here are tips I discovered very recently:

something is better than nothing. 5 minutes of work are better than zero. Just because you missed something on your schedule doesn’t mean you can’t still work on it, even for 5 minutes. Grow and build on this.

second drafts / reviews can be done after.

Don’t think you are going to do your very best work on the first try. Take the weight of perfectionism off your shoulders.

don’t think about doing it. just do it as fast as you can.

build on your productivity, not your failures.

If you come from a past of procrastinating and now feel motivated to change and discipline yourself, do NOT try to do everything at once.

if you have a set of different goals to accomplish, begin with the most important one. Wait until the rotine of working for that one settles in (you feel productive and comfortable-ish), and then begin with the next. Repeat.

this way you’ll be building your way up and not juggling everything at the same time, hoping everything works out.

be patient with yourself, you’ll get there!

set smaller deadlines for your goals

have monthly and weekly-ish deadlines

e.g. if you are doing a project, due 22nd Feb, set personal deadlines, like have Introduction written by 2nd Feb, have Methods written by 10th Feb, have project complete by 18th Feb.

take them as seriously as you possibly can, don’t miss out on yourself.

write realistic daily tasks and don’t stop until you finish them. after them you can do whatever you want

on writing realistic daily tasks, the secret is knowing you can only do so much in one day, but trusting you can accomplish everything in the course of any period of time (a week, or 2 weeks or a month, etc.) because you will combine the work from all these different days.

it’s very tempting to write down all the tasks you need to accomplish in one day to just get over with it, but the real deal is you won’t accomplish half of them. You’ll feel very unproductive then, wich leads to demotivation.

spread daily tasks in the time necessary.

have a consistent sleep schedule.

if your mind isn’t ready everything will fall apart.

have one rest day per week where you plan nothing, do whatever you want except studying. this can be harder than you expect!

(don’t forget these are effective only if you actually put them into practice! good luck babes!!)

How I Changed My Feelings About Mornings

Or, a less anxiety-inducing Morning Routine guide from the worst morning person in the world.

If you’re anything like me, mornings are pretty much the worst part of your school day. In fact, mornings used to be the most anxious part of my day. I’d stay in bed past my alarm, rush to get ready, eat “breakfast” in 5 mins, and drive to school with what I call, “Morning Traffic Anxiety” (you know the feeling). But a few years ago, I came to the conclusion that although my anxiety would never truly go away, I did have the power to make my mornings feel a little more like “me time”. Here are my tips on how to start off your day in the best way possible.

I don’t care how confident you think you are; You need alarms. That’s right- alarmS- plural. This isn’t just to wake you the hell up; I’ve learned that setting several alarms is the best way for you to keep track of how much time you’ve spent doing something. And, if you’re anything like me and know you like to stay in bed past your alarm, set your first alarm even earlier. For example, my first alarm for “waking up” is 5:30, the alarm for actually physically getting up from bed is 6:00, out of the bathroom by 6:30, downstairs by 6:45… you get the picture. Not only are alarms for waking up, but they’re also for timing yourself. My alarms are set in 15-30 min. increments away from each other, but do whatever floats your boat.

Commit to your sleeping/waking up schedule. I love sleeping-in on weekends as much as the next girl; but please don’t torture yourself by over-sleeping. You’ll just regret it by the time it’s monday morning. Stay (somewhat) consistent and your body will thank you for it.

Listen to music while you get ready. This is one of the best and mose effective tips I’ve ever come up for myself, self-care wise. If I’m feeling particularly anxious, I’ll put on a peaceful, calming playlist to get ready to. If I want to wake up more energetic and am getting ready for a busier day, I’ll play more fun and upbeat songs. Whatever music you choose, I promise it’ll change your mood. (If you need some morning music recs, you can find my playlists here!)

Plan out your Tomorrow Outfit. I know, I sound like your mom. But trust me, it really does help and it saves you so much time! If you don’t want to physically put out your outfits, at least have an idea in your head for the next morning.

Please. For the love of God. Eat breakfast. Even just a little bit. I never understood how some of my friends and classmates could, dare I say, SKIP breakfast and survive class. This concept leaves me in awe. I personally feel like I’m going to collapse if I don’t eat breakfast. Please eat; even if it’s just a little bit! Find the time to actually make a good breakfast, or even pre-make a good breakfast the night before. Bagels, toast, and oatmeal are great quick and wholesome-enough breakfast choices. Also, remember that your morning is YOU time- take this time to enjoy your favorite coffee/tea without rushing! It feels good, trust me.

As you can see, a lot of working on bettering your mornings is about time. Speaking from experience, I can confidently say that rushing is not fun. I hate being late, and being in a hurry just makes my anxious mornings even worse. The best tip I could ever give is to find a morning routine that works for you, practice it, and stick with it. Just like any other struggle, making your mornings more enjoyable just takes commitment; but it’s 100% do-able!

How to learn a language fast

1. Learn a sizable vocabulary, there is a good list of 625 words you should know in your target language. Spend time building this up and be sure to practice your pronunciation that is vital. To learn vocabulary there are many methods: flashcards, lists, apps, mindmaps etc. I personally use the app Quizlet as it has many learning tools and flashcards so you can practice on the go.

2. Learn basic grammar, for this you can use a book or there are plenty of websites online that will have resources. You just need to have master a section at a time so you have the basic learnt.

3. Listen to the spoken language, if you are in the country awesome but chances you are not so some ways to this are: listening to audio files, using apps (I know Duolingo has a aspect that reads stories), watch YouTube videos in that language, watch films and listen to the radio (there are lots of streams online).

4. Practice speaking, pronunciation is vital plus saying things over and over again can help move it to the long term memory. It will make you feel much more confident in your abilities. To practice speaking it would be ideal to find someone who is fluent in your target language but if not there are speaking exercises online, you could try read a book out loud or even learn a song.

5. Stick to it, this is probably the most important part if you don’t keep practicing regularly you will forget it all. Even if it is just something small it is better than nothing and will be worth it when you can speak a whole new language.

Duolingo

Dictionaries

Quizlet
