and set small, but very very specific goals for yourself to complete! I like working at a coffee shop or the library for accountability because I know I can't just be on my phone all the time while people see that I have my laptop out (gotta look busy!) And the small, but specific goals make it easy for my brain to hyperfocus on the task at hand, since I know exactly what I need to do without any room to be distracted. good luck!!

I'm finishing up my undergrad thesis currently, and had to get it together earlier this semester, so I get it !! What I've learned is: sometimes, it's a mindset thing -- if I'm putting off homework, I remind myself that learning is fun, and it's a privilege that I get to do this. Sometimes, it's about deleting social media apps and throwing my phone across the room so it can't distract me. Sometimes I need an environment change, so I go to the library or a coffee shop or rearrange my room or just open the window. But, also, you need to make realistic goals -- it's ok if you don't accomplish everything in one day! Setting small goals/breaking thesis tasks down into smaller parts makes it seem more doable, too. Good luck on your thesis journey!! You got this :)

This one is mostly to myself. I really struggle with focus and getting things that feel hard done and on track. I have ADHD (diagnosed by a clinical doctor and not TikTok) and so I know that in order to do work, I have to trick myself. So what Iβm doing right now is trying to create a space for myself in which I can get the task done. First thing I did was finish another, small task I had on my mind. Next Iβm going to take care of my base level needs. Get food, get a fun snack and drink and then already sign into squarespace and Dropbox and create a situation where all I have to do is sit down. I have to remember to tell msyelf it doesnβt all have to get done tonight. Iβm just re-familiarizing myself with the project, doing an hour of work so that tomorrow, I can tackle it in a more meaningful and focused way. I hope it works lol?

Its cliched but it's true. I've got a bad case of scatter brain at all times. But I've found peace and progress in dedicating small, increasing increments of time to the things I am interested in. Take it one day at a time and don't beat yourself up if you miss a day or two. But try to be consistent. 10 minutes of this, 15 minutes of that. Before you know it you develop a habit that is actually good for you. It also helps me to put my phone on airplane mode and disconnect while I do these things. Just me and the interest. It's not a science and it won't happen overnight. But before you know it you'll just be sucked into rhythms of the things you want to do rather than the things that rot your brain.

soo fluffy soft and lightly sweet! It's decently easy too, but still has some interesting techniques involved :) There's tons of recipes out there, but I used this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tc3coiL36Cg

but I'll always recommend to mystery lovers.
I couldn't put this book down, and would only take breaks to eat, drink water, and sleep. But let's just say that the ending made me hard switch to romance, anime, and k-dramas only for months...
warning: contains dark, graphic themes and violence.

it's like attack on titan + haikyu + demon slayer
anime is by the same studio as haikyu :)
