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!!

πI'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 :)

πThis 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?

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...

βJust do it right now.
No more saving it for later to re-read/re-watch it with "fresh eyes." I know it can be scary... especially for perfectionists like me... but just put it into the world and trust that the universe will have your back x5000
