my goal for today was to start studying
for my final I am lucky unlucky in that
most of my work was due during reading
period three of my courses finished
during reading period which was last
week this is finals period and my only
final exam is on this Friday and so for
the past few days I have literally done
no studying which has been good it's
been a good mental break but I needed to
get into studying I need to kind of
force my brain back into study mode
because it had kind of gone on vacation
for me the most important thing is an
organized atmosphere okay
if I'm in an organized room my mind is
organized and I study and I think a lot
better and so I'd like to clean my desk
I like to clean my room
and then I also like to do these other
little sensory things that remind my
body that I'm studying so for example I
play classical music and I put essential
oils in a diffuser these are things that
I haven't really done a lot in the past
but I started doing them recently and
have been working really well to put my
brain in the right mode I have been an
avid tea drinker for a couple of years
now and I love drinking tea when I study
I think that it's just a good comforting
thing and it's a fun thing to sip on
while you're working on a problem so it
may
[Music]
so the other thing that I do that I
think is probably the most effective
method of studying that I've found at
least doing the Pomodoro method which a
Pomodoro is 25 minutes of work and five
minutes of rest if I am just trying to
sit down for three hours
distraction-free that is difficult that
is a lot more difficult sometimes the
best thing to do for the five-minute
break I found is just walk it aside for
a bit in my video yesterday you guys
would have seen all the snow and today
it rained all day I kind of regret that
I'm wearing slippers they're not
waterproof at all hey wow I wonder Oh
whose room could that be Jaime
here Luke his windows are closed but
oh boy Luke
really
check your email not for sure sent hey
would you get Luke oh yeah dude hey did
you watch the video I know you were the
ones yeah you're the one sitting on the
stairs right I was that was me it's like
I had like a significantly longer clip
but my friend walked up the stairs to
try and get into the library which was
closed and so I had to throw away I've
been doing this thing where I journal
not everyday but I'm going to try to
start doing it everyday because I want
to share that journal with you guys as
part of an audience holding me
accountable so what I do is this is kind
of the entry this is for the the day
tomorrow just kind of like a basic
breakdown of how I want to spend my time
tomorrow and then I've set a few goals
and this is what I'm going to review
tomorrow morning and then hopefully we
will be able to check them off at the
end of the day so the goals for tomorrow
I want to finish my review sheet which
is what I was working on tonight and I
want to take at least one practice exam
that's for my calculus 21a is
multivariable calculus I also want to
read at least 20 pages because I have
not read in a few days and the other
thing I want to do is I want to go to
bed at 10 p.m. sharp because well it's
currently 1054 and I've been trying to
go to bed early
so to recap the day fairly productive I
started my youtube channel up again in
the more
and in the evening I had a really good
study session I mean I actually
shouldn't say really good it was fairly
good not the greatest but my mind is
back into gear again it is no longer in
rest mode which is awesome so yeah goal
for today accomplished we grew we did
something to grow tomorrow we know what
our goals are let's do it
