Listed, instead, are 15 songs that my memory threw at random-along with a little bit of research. I happened to watch Dear Zindagiin a theatre on the day of my breakup, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to include ‘Just go to hell, O Dil’ from the same-too cheesy, even by my standards. What do you include and what do you leave out? Do you, for instance, look at the timeline of your own history of heartbreaks? It doesn’t always work that way. The problem is when you are making a list.
Naturally, Hindi cinema, with its abundance of songs and love stories, is full of them. Take advantage of that.Heartbreak has a special place in music and breakup songs are a thing. We as students have such an amazing opportunity to get more sleep than we ever have before during the year. Sleep is so important, and it’s the game changer, at least to me. You won’t be able to get anything done well anyway if you’ve got those blocks. Does your back hurt? Are you sad? Stressed? Do you have to pee? Are you hungry? Never put your homework over your health. Working without stopping absolutely destroys my motivation, and let me tell you, when I feel like that, an episode of Avatar and a snack gets me right back on the wagon. Make time for your hobbies, for something fun. I cannot study if I’m cold, I get tired and groggy, so warm socks, a robe, and a hot drink really keep me going. Tea, water, coffee, whatever, but my go to is generally a warm drink. I hate spending money, I’m broke as hell, sono al verde as the Italians say, but a 0.99 cent folder and a 0.25 cent notebook can do wonders for motivating one to fill them up. Have a folder for each class, and a notebook for each class.What I do is spread out all my assignments from Monday to Saturday, and I leave Sunday blank, so anything I didn’t do that week, I finish on Sunday. If you’re professors are like mine, and have the due date for each module as Sunday at midnight. I have a daily to do list I write on that app, and then I have four more to-do lists of what I have to for each specific class. it’s a weekly spread already set up, and if you’re anything like me, its really hard to set up a weekly spread. One is a post it weekly planner deal (3.99 at a local grocery store). To do lists and to do lists and more to do lists. I choose earl grey tea with honey and cream, but black coffee, herbal tea, lemon water, whatever works for you is awesome, as long as itll wake you up and start your day. It can help you get into the zone, being in that space. Have items that signify that workspace too, like your book, planner, laptop, lamp, whatever. Whether it be the kitchen table, a desk, a spot on the floor with a lap desk, have a place that’s dedicated to your work. I’m not talking like, jeans and a business casual outfit, but a clean pair of sweatpants, fresh underwear, and a new shirt can really put you in the mood for a new morning. I go for 8 or 8:30, generally, but that’s just what works for me. I’m not saying get up at 5 (unless that’s you’re thing) but sleeping into noon is a productivity blackhole. Try and wake up early, and go to bed early too.
How to remain productive with online classes: A few tips from a broke neuro-divergent academic
you are SO much more qualified than you think you are. apply for the thing! ask for the raise! enter the competition! get used to failing ALL the time! fail quickly and move on!!! if a cocky but mediocre man would do it, then for the love of god, GO DO THE DAMN THING. men are out there getting positions they’re not even qualified for, while over-qualified but less-confident women are staying where it’s safe bc they’re afraid to rock the boat!!! DO. Girls!!! we gotta fail more often!!! we’re so scared of failure and disappointing people and looking stupid that we don’t even TRY things! men? men brush off failure like it’s nothing! if a man doesn’t get a job he wanted, it’s because they didn’t review his application fairly! it’s because the competition was tough this year! it’s because he just needs to try harder next time! men just DO things!!! and you know what DOING things builds? confidence!!! even if you fail!! the more you fail, the more confident you are that you can fail and survive! women don’t even wanna try unless they are 100% certain that they’re qualified and competent and won’t disappoint anybody! but that is NONSENSE.
