[ashen bone]

schools almost done for me i'm hanging by the last braincell

[young umbra]

Hahah I got you

Same for me

Been working on a ridiculous Assignment for weeks now

[ashen bone]

haha

When I see @severe dust I feel like a true procrastinator

[young umbra]

Ehhh

We all got our own strengths and ways of working

[ashen bone]

true dat

[young umbra]

It's definitely not the norm to be able to study for so long every day

Especially nowadays

[ashen bone]

yep

[young umbra]

But it can be trained

Discipline and concentration are muscles just like your real muscles

[ashen bone]

Lo-fi helped me a lot in my studying it helped me focus

😅

[young umbra]

Music is great

For me it's rain sound

[ashen bone]

oh noice

welp you seem like a nice person

[young umbra]

Thanks! 😊

You too!

[young umbra]

for me i cant listen to music while studying, it distracts me and im more concentrated on the music than the actual work

[ashen bone]

do you know whats lofi?

[young umbra]

I have that with music that has lyrics

Lo-fi has no lyrics

[ashen bone]

yeah

[young umbra]

So it's pretty great as background music

[ashen bone]

mhm!

[young umbra]

It's actually shown that music can help improve productivity

[young umbra]

hmm

"Beyond providing background noise, music has been shown to improve both productivity and cognitive performance, especially in adults. Listening to music can help people manage anxiety, become motivated and stay productive."

[ashen bone]

wait here

[loud sierra]

I am DONE for the day🥳

[ashen bone]

Yay!

[loud sierra]

it is also almost midnight so that's probably for the best😅 😅

[ashen bone]

\Congrats!

lol

[young umbra]

I want to share a video I use with music in the background that really helps, but it's uploaded to my own channel (mainly so I'd have it for myself haha) so I don't know if that's legal to share here

[loud sierra]

thank you! 🙂

[young umbra]

Yaaaaaaay

[ashen bone]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQvNJDUhzBQ

[loud sierra]

whoops wrong chat my b

[ashen bone]

Xd

[loud sierra]

brain is all done for the day too😂

[ashen bone]

read my bio bruh

"Tired, sleepy, hanging by the last braincell, and gotta do a lot of homework"

[young umbra]

I don't see a bio

[loud sierra]

now ain't that a mood

[young umbra]

Hahah yeah

[ashen bone]

maybe

which is?

[young umbra]

It means that something is relatable

[ashen bone]

lol

i would say a bit stressed

[young umbra]

You feel stressed?

how long do yall spend studying each day

[loud sierra]

it varies

On a bad day maybe 2 hours, on a good day maybe 8

[young umbra]

wow

For me it depends on the subject

[ashen bone]

same

[young umbra]

If it's something I don't mind spending time on, I can study for about 4 - 7 hours

If I hate it... I can have a difficulty even studying for 3

[ashen bone]

O.O

[young umbra]

i had trouble staying motivated

throughout the whole yr

[ashen bone]

same bruh

[young umbra]

so i didnt study that much

compared to my usual

but i have finals

That sucks, but we've all been there

[loud sierra]

I think that's pretty normal

[young umbra]

so i have to grind

[young umbra]

yea lol

You only fail if you stop trying

happens to everyone at some point

Beast thing is to just keep trying

[young umbra]

tru

[tribal fog]

Exactly, it’s normal

[young umbra]

even if u dont like it

And try out different ways that might make you stick to it more

u just suck it up

and do it

I have tried soooooooooo many productivity methods

[young umbra]

maybe music

like lofi

[loud sierra]

I've also had a bad period where I just did the bare minimum, but now it's exam season so I've got my shit together again

at least a little 😛

[young umbra]

"What is a moment of pain, compared to a lifetime of glory?" One of my favourite quotes

[tribal fog]

❤️

[young umbra]

Another quote I love:

"I smoke in moderation, one cigar at a time" 😛

[loud sierra]

sounds similar to the guy who posted a note on his bed, saying "tomorrow, I will quit smoking"

That way, every time he woke up, he could breathe a sigh of relief that he had one more day to smoke

[young umbra]

Hahahahah

That sounds a bit like me

[hallow vortex]

Does anyone know a good resource(book/website/video) for getting into the habit of waking up at 3:30 AM?

[verbal moth]

PHYSICS DOUBT - a)So i have a charged solid sphere enclosed in a charged conducting shell. If i earthed the shell, then will the total charge on the system remain constant or will it change.. due to change in potential?

b) Now I also earthed the charged sphere. Will the total charge of the system remain constant? What about the potential difference? What will happen to the charge on the charged conducting sphere?

[reef falcon]

there are many youtube videos detailing getting into the habit, and honestly the first few days it's very much about willpower/drive/motivation to force yourself to wake up and stay up during that time and not hit snooze.

[marsh hatch]

does anyone have any suggestions or advice for a prompt like: Describe a time when you encountered a barrier or hurdle to achieve your academic or professional goals, and what you did to overcome that barrier.
(with regards to and application for research internships and health sciences)?

[reef falcon]

ah, scholarship/college apps? most of the time it's a life story for me; personal growth type of thing because it usually correlates to my academic and prof. goals, not sure if you have a similar background

[marsh hatch]

ahh its for a research internship at a nearby hospital : " )
its a tad difficult, as being a freshman in uni during a pandemic--- any issues i am having are either being shared by pretty much all my peers or unresolved lol
as for academic and professional goals, i am pretty keen on a health related pathway- perhaps one involving optometry school? but that is a "can decide much later" type thing

[hoary junco]

the more personal it is to you, the better! i personally love inserting personal anecdotes, like a little story at the beginning. it adds character, in my opinion. also, don't force yourself to write what "sounds good" but write instead what is "genuine". your response to the prompt should have an arc, with a beginning, rising action, climax, and how you resolved it all, just VERY condensed lol. if you need any other help, you can dm me!

[rustic crown]

I can't focus on study and I also can't sit for long hours what should I do

[west badge]

the phrase "just do it" seemed stupid at the time when I had same problems. But this is actually is the most purest truth I understood. If you want to to complete something you should be "hungry". Let me explain ------> I know many successful people (in their fields) who made a history or achieved their dreams, and when I looked deeper into their profiles and backgrounds. I figured out that they were very very very very hungry, then this feeling made them to earn for "food". Food refers to their dreams and hunger to their situation at past time. If you still didn't get the point -----> when you are close to deadlines, when you really need money, when you really want to have some break, when you really want to visit your friend who lives thousand km away from you and other related desires. YOU are just doing it. And it's genius indeed, because this phrase can be considered from many different points of view. The conclusion is ----> Just Do It.

hope it'll be helpful. Don't be lazy to read it 👆

[rustic crown]

Thanks a lot😀

[west badge]

try to rethink about it and may be you will have another opinion that can also be helpful for you. Keep going and be a driver of your own life (just personal advice)

[young umbra]

😩 Yo, that's like TED Talk speech. This is an inspiration acritical from you.
Good luck and thanks again 🤍

[dense latch]

hey guys, does anyone know how to apply for an internship abroad?

any tips or manners for the process would be helpful

[young umbra]

I would start asking teachers and see if you can get a contact from a student who has done an internship abroad

[proven lagoon]

Use an agency to arrange an internship abroad. The easiest but most expensive way to find an internship abroad is to use a for-profit company who will organize an international internship for you

[young umbra]

It all depends on what country you live in, but imo the best is to find someone who already did it

They'll know the ins-and-outs

In my country you can apply for an abroad internship through your school

[proven lagoon]

oh wow i didnt know that

[young umbra]

👀

[dense latch]

It makes sense, I think it is rare here in my country but I will look for that student. It would be helpful as you said. Thanks.

[young umbra]

Ask around at school, i'm sure they'll know!

Don't be afraid to ask questions

[dense latch]

I didn't know there were agencies for it, I guess I'll check those. Thanks.

[dense latch]

Absolutely! It was my motto this year.

[proven lagoon]

no problem

[young umbra]

What country do you live in, if I may ask?

[dense latch]

Ofcourse, In Turkia.

[young umbra]

Where would you like to go do your internship?

[dense latch]

to Europe, preferably Sweden

[young umbra]

Scandinavian countries are quite expensive to live in

https://www.gooverseas.com/internships-abroad/sweden Maybe this helps

[dense latch]

Wow, thanks! It surely would help

[young umbra]

My pleasure 😊

[dense latch]

My teacher told me that some countries offer bursaries for internships, haven't checked if it is true or not but I'll check for those too.

[young umbra]

I hope it works out for you!

[dense latch]

I hope so!🙏 Have a nice evening!

[young umbra]

Thank you, you too! 👊

[primal quarry]

hey guys 👋, may I ask for some tips on how to prepare for english exams? I feel that I am prepared but I'm not sure if I missed anything or not. Any tips or advice is greatly appreciated 👍

[harsh lily]

Hi! Just wanted to ask if anyone here knows any alternative study timers aside from Forest?

[nimble gyro]

hey, can someone guide me through emphasis if anyone here uses it? i am super new to it and i have no idea on how to begin

[young umbra]

there are so many.

pomodoro focus timer and be focused are pretty good

[stark skiff]

flipd is actually a good app too, it will make u not to use the phone

[young umbra]

If you're on windows and have to write an essay, ColdTurkeyWriter is great

You can't get out of it until you write your specified amount of words or time

Only other way to get out of it is to hold the power button and lose your progress

[young umbra]

English literature or language?

[young umbra]

heyyy

anyone can help in english pls x)?

))

I have to write an essay like a short essay to be honest about the difference between film and theatre I’m about to finish it I just need some more ideas please

[crude tartan]

english language

[dawn cloak]

honestly just do a lot of timed question practice and bring it to your teacher to mark

[solar fossil]

Whats the context?

[hushed sand]

It is really annoying when someone joins and leaves the study rooms, does anyone know how to disable this?

[solar fossil]

You can deafen yourself, though I'm not sure if that disables the sound of someone joining/leaving

[floral bolt]

I know it really varies by person but I was wondering where you guys find it ideal to study (that is not your own room). I find that studying in my room may not be the best for me and was looking for ideas on where else I could be studying for long hours. (Apart from libraries. I want to hear from you guys cause my brain really only know my room or the library and I’m sure there is a ton of other places I just never thought of)

[viscid venture]

due to covid i had to learn to adapt and currently since we are still in quarantine i use forest or sometimes the discord study groups with my camera turns on in a designated area not my room. in that area i only study and nothing else and it helps. sorry i can’t help otherwise outside lockdown i know most places are no longer quarantining

[sacred nacelle]

go to settings, notifications, scroll down and click on/off

then you won’t be able to hear the sound when someone joins or leaves

[hushed sand]

thanks!

[tribal fog]

I made it a poster lol ✌🏾

[reef falcon]

for me, my room is the best because I can shut my door and get some privacy and more peace and quiet. you can cater your own environment to your own and (most of the time) nobody will bother you unless it's necessary, especially when your door is shut; my room is my office. I usually study with music or white noise (beach, forest sounds, storm, fireplace, etc) to further block out noises (my dad runs a remodeling/construction company so lots of power tools going off), but sometimes I'll just study/work during the late night or early morning when everyone is dead asleep. Something important is to have a corner that you cannot be too comfortable in - try to make it like a library, basically. Install Forest for your computer or phone if either is too distracting (I don't really use social media or my phone at all and I still get around 300 notifications a day, so imagine how much you get if you have twitter, facebook, tiktok, instagram, etc. notifications enabbled).

Switch subjects or projects up will make you not burn out as fast and switch gears a bit so your brain can learn more instead of getting bored.

[rare topaz]

Is there anyone who is from South korea? I have to ask some questions about South Korea and it is so important for me now 😦 I hope there is someone. Please dm me:)

[cobalt siren]

lI was wondering if someone could decipher what the fuck this says

[cobalt siren]

The paragraph i didn't know i needed today

[reef falcon]

can you post a picture of the sentence or the line it's on

[cobalt siren]

"{unknown word} perspective if source 4 is critical..."

i think they were having a bit too much fun in the exam and just wrote "ze" instead of "the"

[upper cloak]

looks like "the" to me

[cobalt siren]

how

ther'es no h or t

[upper cloak]

Anyone who uses quizlet know how to remove a set? Help center just says to click the triple dots and delete it but

[reef falcon]

might be "Le", but "ze" is sometimes used if a person's gender is unknown, apperently. Maybe they were using it in that context

Hello

Can someone help me : I have to write an essay about the benefits of science fiction towards society

[cobalt siren]

real quick some ideas you might want to pla ywtih
science fiction pieces can either be a representation of peoples thoughts and ideas and might be a good way to represent them, or they might be a represetnation of the way they want society to be in the future. for the first example is like immersion, a 2012 book where cultural appropiation is prominent and the much racism. it isnt obvious per se but it's very clear. that was a short story about what the americans had done to vietnam.

[fervent yew]

i don't think you're allowed to advertise (ignore this if you're answering someone's question)

sorry i accidentally shared this through my phone, I meant to send it to my computer but it was sent off to discord instead

I'm so out of motivation today, i really don't like the school projects i have to work on this week and these past couple of days i haven't been as productive... any tips or motivation? thank you everyone 🙏
p.s. this server has helped a lot so thank you james for having such an awesome community eheh

[dim flame]

Hiii,, me too,, but I guess we need a break from time to time. Try to relax or meditate, spare atleast 10 minutes to do the things that you really loves to do it can be cooking, art works, listening to music, exercising or even watching funny videos to lighten up your mood. You can even give yourself a reward or treat yourself of all your accomplishments,, buying ice cream, fav food or buying your most wanted item in the market. I'm not an expert but I'm sharing things that works for ne when I lost motivation (aside from praying coz it really works). I hope this helped.

[mental lagoon]

thank you you're probably right i should take a little fun break. I guess since it's finals season i didn't even consider having a little me time 😅

whats the difference between fragile masculinity and toxic masculinity?

[frank cairn]

lmao what class is this for

[mellow turtle]

hey so random but can someone help me with an english essay
pls lol my head is gonna explode

[reef falcon]

I think fragile masculinity is a specific subset of toxic masculinity - like "you can't cry/be seen crying cuz it's not manly", same with using makeup or crossing your legs or whatever is considered "traditionally" feminine (there are different traditions in different cultures), if I'm correct. Toxic masculinity is the umbrella term manly ideals that are harmful or less than beneficial to a person and society as a whole.

[true epoch]

Hey, I´ve got a question on habits as I´m reading "Atomic Habits" right now. How do you guys track habits that cannot be easily defined by time, place or how often you do it per week like "Complete every task that takes less than 2 minutes right away" or stuff like that?

[young umbra]

@true epoch What type of task cannot be defined by time or place?

[young umbra]

lol I'm not able to do my homework

I didn't even start

I was gonna do it but I fell asleep

and then I just fucking didn't do it

[young umbra]

u got this !

[true epoch]

That´s not my point. Somehow every habit is. But how does one keep track of how well these ideas are implemented

[young umbra]

Cause and effect

eg. increased screentime use from 12~4. Sleep at 12 or something like that

everyone does it differently, its good to find what works for you

[final sable]

if im not wrong do u mean to say 'im not sure if this task that i think will take 5 mins will actually take 5 mins or not'?

[true epoch]

For things like reading every day or doing my cardio twice a week I just use a regular habit tracker where I tick off my tasks. I think I´m going to use a frequent reminder on my phone in order to e.g. remember my attitude and stuff like that

[true epoch]

No, I mean that if there is a small task to be done that I know will take less than 2 mins I will just do it right away without procrastinating

I´m just wondering on how to control myself on things like that because it is nothing that occurs 5 times a week for example

[final sable]

Yeah..if it is not a daily occurrence like taking out the trash it is difficult to have it pre-defined in your planner

[covert marten]

@true epoch could you describe what kind of habit you're trying to create? In my own experience of creating a study habit, if you want to make a habit that will stick, you need to have a strong incentive such as material devices such as money, luxuries or non-material devices such as an accountability buddy, family, friends. For me, it was a matter of calling upon my friends and family to admonish me if I wasn't keeping on track with my studying goals and using the Forest app to form bonds with people with similar ambitions to create the necessary incentive.

[novel sage]

ribosome right?

[crisp heart]

Yes

[novel sage]

help please

[final sable]

I think the 3rd option

[novel sage]

yeah same

[somber sierra]

I just came across this video and I thought it was very interesting and might be cool for people here, it is also a good reason to use Forest:

[final holly]

Hey Guys!

I am applying to this summer program. But I need to write an essay about how changes to my current reality have made me more aware of an arising global consciousness and prepared me to become a more informed global citizen.

What are some things I can write about? Kind of stuck.

[rancid parcel]

the internet unifys us

[final holly]

Not really to some extent. That is an interesting point though.

I was thinking of along the lines of my expereince at studying in a UWC.. what do you think? I don't know

The scholorship thingi is supposed to be due 2morrow, and I am procrasinating!

[rancid parcel]

i don't see how your experience studying somewhere relates to how you understand different cultures/ideas throughout the world

it sounds like it just wants you to write about globalization

[final holly]

I was brought up in a multicultural environment, hence learned about different cultures/environments.

[deep scarab]

just when we needed the most...

[rancid parcel]

my definition of unification was relative lol

yea that would make sense

[small pewter]

"In your opinion, why is ethical spending management important in a family?"

can someone help me with this question

[young umbra]

oooohhhhhh

[cursive sage]

Yup i want to find if any one can help me in my assignment and understand arabic and islamic theology

But ok there’s no one 😂🥲

Maybe try the language or social sciences help if you have questions about the theology? I am suggesting the language theology since it is Arabic and Islamic

[cursive sage]

[vale hamlet]

assuming its the same one from one of his vids 7 months ago (cant be sure because its always covered) but when i saw it in a thumbnail, im pretty sure its the herman miller aeron chair

How long do you want to study? What are your distractions when you try to study now? I needed a week to get used to study everyday but I only do it for 4-5 hours so I don‘t know if I can help you as much as other people here.

Hi, everyone
I have 3 questions :
Were stories more important to you in the past or now?
Will human always enjoy stories?
Do you think humans will find a replacement for water in the future?
can anyone give me answers? Thanks a lot

[valid parcel]

anyone knows the formulae for crude death rate

[deep pawn]

1. Both
2. Yes
3. No

[fading minnow]

Can u give me some clear reasons ❤️

[modest dirge]

@fading minnow yooo check out rule #5 (in #rules ) you cant ask people to do your work for you.

[valid parcel]

this might help
1.stories are important to me as now i can learn various things from another persons perspective and it might help implying in my own life
2.yes humans will certainly enjoy stories as the curiosity in us never ends and would love to see our life from a different perspective
3.no as our body needs water to function even though they might come in different forms we certainly require water

[deep pawn]

1. When I was younger, stories were entertaining. Now, they’re entertaining and I am able to consciously learn things from them.
2. Humans learn through analogy. Stories and tales are meta analogies applicable to our lives. They are how we communicate across time, past generations to future.
3. Water and its constituent components are necessary for our biological function

[modest dirge]

for this kind of assignment, i think its best for you to form your own opinion and use your own experience 🙂

[valid parcel]

do you know the formulae of crude death rate

[deep pawn]

Is it a survey

[modest dirge]

no sorry

[deep pawn]

bro just google it

i didnt get the language

[deep pawn]

[(total # deaths in an area) / (total population of that area)] x 100,000

[valid parcel]

If crude birth rate of a city was 33.1 the number of deaths was 20,836 net migration rate was 6 than what would be the population growth rate of that city?The total population of the city was 23,151,142 in the same year

i got my crude death rate

but it came 900

[coarse charm]

1 they will matter until the day I die
2 yes we will always love stories
3 water is one of the most necessary things in any type of life, so no

@gritty moss I don't know any books for piano learning

I learned by trial and error, always hearing music and trying to translate into piano notes

at first I didn't cared about notes, I just wanted to play, so I kinda wasted sometime doing that

even though it was good on easier musics I was just playing what I have heard, but I did not knew anything about theory, hand placement, etc

which is really good to have those fundamentals

[gritty moss]

I just wanna learn how to read sheets and play them for fun lol

[reef falcon]

probably the same as any other block or slump - go take a nice chill break that's non study/work related like garden, read your favorite book or pick up a new one, watch a movie, etc. your brain probably needs a break to get it's creative juices flowing again. try some chocolate or take a nap as well (drink apple juice before your nap possibly for some vivid dreams)

Will teachers understand students

?

I recently have issues trying to do my math homework ( it's tuition not school ) still , I want to try to complete it but it's the first time. Trying out these questions and I was not able to complete a number of questions and I'm afraid that I would get scolded

It's not that I don't want to do the work it's that I can't keep up . And it's not even part of my school work

[loud sierra]

Depends on the teacher, some teachers understand and some teachers are jackasses 😐 You just gotta hope you have a nice one

It's always better to let them know in advance if you realise you can't keep up, like if you realise you're gonna miss a deadline, let them know before the deadline, you're way more likely to get their sympathy and understanding then

I mostly taught myself, the class is going slow so I learned ahead in the book. it depends on your learning style too

My teacher just went over parts of the book and also the C major scale

[gritty moss]

Learning style ?

[young umbra]

Like if you can learn just with videos and a book or if you prefer a teacher

[gritty moss]

I feel kind of ashamed to take lessons with other people but can’t afford to take private ones lol

You can learn a lot from lessons with other people present

They might ask questions you didn't think of

Never be ashamed of wanting to learn and expand your knowledge

[storm radish]

Same here

[astral fractal]

Help i don't think i get this through ... My exams are in 2 days.... I have 4 subjects, 2 of them rely heavily on memorization... And it's not like I didn't prepare, I studied... But I didn't start early like I should have and maybe I didn't concentrate enough but now I just take ages until I remember something and there are some parts I don't remember at all.... I'M FREAKING OUT here there are so many lessons

[uncut ether]

all i can say is.. you gotta trust what you have learned over the past year.. focus on what you are the weakest on, no point studying things you remember

find a course overview or smt along that line, or even a cheatsheet, and look through it and see what you know --> just do enough practice and ull be fine

[uncut ether]

yeah me too man, i think i tore my tricep muscles or something, and literally can't bend my elbows... i've been having a rough day but im just thinkign if I can get through today, even do a couple small tasks, then I can do anything

[uncut ether]

just start with an hour or so timer- in that hour just make it a goal to put away your phone, avoid yt and other distractions, start slow and then I think you will be able to do more

tbh im having a hella bad day too, but ive learned that u can't rely on motivation always to get shit done

hope i helped you guys a bit, and hope to get some stuff done today

[gray river]

The worst thing you can do at this moment is to panic. Regardless of how you are capable of performing, your potential would be severely lessened by the fact that you’re already in such a panicked state of mind. Take a deep breath and calm yourself down.

Analyze what can be done at the 11th hour and to your best extent try to revise what you already know. You are very unlikely to remember any new information that requires heavy memorization in such a short span of time. So try if you can to find smaller topics which are important but easier concepts to brush up. At this point of time the best thing you can do with your preparation is to revise what you already know.

The most important thing to take away from this is to trust yourself and your preparation. Have faith in yourself to be able to clear the bar no matter how high you think it is. Try if you can to reset your mind space to accommodate confidence even if you think you have no reason to be confident, so that even in the midst of the exam you can count on yourself to think logically.
Any exam has a great deal to do with what you study, how much you prepare and what you’ve done consistently over the year, but most importantly what your frame of mind is on the day of the exam. You can undo a year’s worth of study for a test, if you tell yourself that you wouldn’t make it.
Breathe, trust yourself and move towards what can be done.
Good Luck

[young umbra]

i mean if you failed or sum.. that’s fine as long as you tried your hardest.. good luck bestie 🤪❤️

Nuclear power plant produces huge amounts of energy from small amounts of uraninite ore as raw fuel. The radioactive substances of nuclear fission reaction are highly dangerous and causes severe health risks. which is the best method of disposal for radioactive waste?

Anyone that can help?

[final holly]

Is it better to take history notes in a sentence format, or in bullet points?

The history exams are 45 minutes writing 2 pages back to back.

[pearl sable]

Bullet points

For me atleast whatever suits you!

[young umbra]

A great way to study is by writing it down in bullet points first, and then write it out in your own words later

That forces you to make the subject matter your own

[olive dagger]

Why is that, that every YouTube-study-mentor says that summarizing notes is an ineffective way of studying?

[young umbra]

Can you elaborate?

[young umbra]

Its an ineffective way if its the only method of study.
Taking notes enables you to order information that you can then refer to.
The notes can then be used for active recall practices(testing yourself out loud, etc), or to confirm the correctness of certain information.
Basically notes can be used to study, not for study.

[loud sierra]

NaCl and Fe(s)

[floral bolt]

For studying yes but not only studying also just reading books not related to school about subjects I enjoy

[young umbra]

What I've found is that for reading to understand what is written, reading comprehension needs to be improved.

For reading for fun, it's OK to not consiously read every word. You can sort of glide past the words and your brain will pick up the full sentence. Also, when reading for fun, try not to use that inner voice that reads every single word

Reading is like any other muscle, practice makes perfect

[gray river]

If you wish to keep a daily journal, I’m not sure whether my answer will be satisfactory. Journaling depends heavily on personal preferences.
Personally, it greatly depends on what transpires in my day. Keeping a daily journal is too tedious in such a sense so I occasionally pen down things that inspire me as creative journaling. A few things that have helped me over the years;

Being self-aware, what habits I want to focus on, where I envision myself to be in life and how I can get there.
Since I’m not much of a daily journalist, I write when I feel like it. But there is no fixed rule even with daily journaling, when it comes to timing. You can write about your day at night and plan for the next morning, as opposed to writing in the morning. Employ techniques and timing according to what works for you.
As a general rule, I keep a small notebook with me at all times if I have a pop of inspiration.(phones lighten the load, but I’ve never been a fan of digital writing)
On the whole, journaling is all about reflection. It can start small, going about what happened throughout your day or your stresses and accomplishments, goals and what not. But as time passes, you’ll know and understand yourself better and the ideas will flow out faster than you could pen them down.
As an example, I’ve recently written about a blog post I’ve read which confused me until I wrote about it and sorted my mind. I’ve written pictures I saw on the internet, about how I long to go to the beach once restrictions in my city are relaxed. Practices I want to get into, the plants I want to grow, books I wish to read. The list is endless.
Keep yourself accountable and try to make it a regular habit, keeping your expectations realistic. But like with any habit initially, you can keep external or internal motivating factors till discipline and routine set in.
The question is what do you wish to get out of journaling? Simply celebrate yourself and your life on this planet.

[covert marten]

wow thank you so much Manatee!! I didn't expect such a well-thought out response and I appreciate it! 💚
In terms of my reason for journaling, I want to simply organize my thoughts on paper or in this case, online. When you said "Keeping a daily journal is too tedious in such a sense so I occasionally pen down things that inspire me as creative journaling" that is pretty much what I intend to do, and the reflection aspect of journaling is what led me to be interested in the hobby in the first place. I want to understand myself better by digging deep into my personal character & experiences.
It will definitely take time to form a journaling habit, but I'm willing to be disciplined. Although, I like the idea of being able to pull out my phone and quickly jot down an idea or feeling, I also understand the allure of sitting down and writing for an extended period of time. I feel that those longer sessions will result in a more comprehensive understanding of myself. And yes I am looking forward to celebrating myself along with my life! Journaling will definitely open my eyes both inside and out.
Thanks again :))

[gray river]

I wish you the best of luck on this journey. It is enlightening and frustrating at times nonetheless it is beautiful. I hope that you find success in all your endeavors.💛

[uncut ether]

yes you definitely have a chance if you show the improvement, but also have to realize you can’t simply blame your friend circle from 9th... it’s best to take it as a learning experience and move past it

Hi

What does pro-french and figurehead emperor mean?

I have highlighted the word in the picture below.

[loud sierra]

Im not sure about figurehead emperor, I think it might mean a ruler thats a ruler in name only, not actually having any power other than symbolic.

Pro-French means pro-France basically. France had control over Vietnam, and the pro-french liked that and wanted it to keep it that way. (As opposed to those who wanted independence)

Hi yall !
Just came here to ask for some advice... I really want (actually I need) to get some work done but i failed everytime i started studying... I always end up doing something else and i'm procrastinating a lot (mostly watching youtube). I'm quite desperate... Do you have any advice ?

[covert marten]

have you tried getting an accountability buddy? that helped a lot for me when I was in a similar situation

[crystal notch]

Set yourself a goal, why and for what you study.
Then try to find your time when you are most productive, for me it's around 9 to 11 pm, then download the music directly to your PC or Phone, that has helped me a lot.

[main breach]

That's the problem, i am working in order to enter an engineering school but it's mostly because i don't know what else to do... And it require a lot of work ...

[main breach]

don't think anyone in my class would have the time to do that

[left spade]

Maybe you should try to study effectively for some time and reward yourself after it. Like say if you study effectively/do ur work for an hour, you are allowed to watch youtube for 20 mins.

[covert marten]

could be someone online too, I recently completed a dopamine detox challenge with a random person on the internet and it worked out well. You could also attempt to reach out to family or close friends who are willing to check in with you from time to time regarding your productivity. Also, I agree with what Piluugen and Karen.x recommended. In fact, you could combine those two ideas: forming a habit and providing incentive. Forming a study habit takes time, so provide yourself with fun, relaxing breaks periodically while studying. Eventually, when your mind is accustomed to this routine, a habit will form. Good luck!

[young umbra]

Does any one have any help for panic attacks?

[long spruce]

I was taking magnesium ampoules but if you can not you can take if you triuve in pharmacy food supplements which destress her will be able to help you and good news for me the crises left by themselves I have not had any for two years now so its going to leave soon for you too and think about breathing well and doing breathing exercises meditation

you can have chamomile or verbena herbal teas every evening

[gray river]

I used to take Ashwagandha supplements daily. It really helped with general mental wellness when my panic attacks were beyond my control. After practice, I can control it with breathing and regular meditation. And as so_fi said, it really helps.
If you can consult a specialist or ayurvedist, please do so. For some people, the side effects of Ashwagandha are prominent.

[humble lance]

It's js I had a really really bad one today been wasting 3 hrs now recovering, my mom really poked me today (altho k don't like blaming her) but it really shifted my mindset and I'm not able to do anything I js keep getting anxious tho I think its gwtti g better rn

It was the first time this bad so ill see if it' return and is there need of therapist

[worthy zenith]

always remember to remind yourself to control your breathing. also, self talk and you reassuring yourself is really important. thats 2 things that always helped me go through my panic attacks

sometimes its not easy to get proper help so all you got to do is help yourself even though sometimes its the hardest thing to do

[humble lance]

Well i think that advise is pretty good considering I don't anyone to worry, I'm not going to get weak no matter what happen thnx for the help I feeling good now

How many Sessions have you guys done so fat?

far?

[rustic crown]

I am tensed

[acoustic gull]

I am a really lazy person 😅, so this was what worked for me

When i am trying to build a new habit, i would set a time for it and put a lot of alarms in my phone and in any electronic device, so when the time arrives, i know that i should do that

Then i hate to lie

Soooo

[young umbra]

Serious inquiries only.
I’m from Paris and I want to improve my English via zoom meeting. I can teach French in return.
I search someone serious to talk minimum 5 day a week.
Warm regards.

[acoustic gull]

I tell evreyone ( close people) that i am doing something, so later, i push myself to do it

Im not sure if it will help u 😅

[echo lichen]

u got decent english already

but *I'm looking for someone (instead of i search someone) makes a little more sense lol

[echo lichen]

idk meditate tons

[covert marten]

I relate to this sm^ 😅

[young umbra]

Yes but it’s for improve my accent

[river estuary]

theres a lot of grounding strategies and methods if you look online

the majority of them arent bullshit, but be careful

[sterile sail]

great tip

i'll try it out ahaha

thank you 🙂

[idle sedge]

Hey guys some tips for me because I never really studied and I am currently in the 10th grade in Romania but next year I will go to France for an exchange and I am a bit worried because I never really studied but still got great grades which may not be the case there! Thanks:)

[brittle plume]

aslong as you're working hard and you put effort in you don't need to be worried just make sure you're putting enough effort and you won't regret it

[final holly]

Hey everyone! I am really struggling to find motivation in purpose in life. How do you guys keep moving on in life with a sense of purpose? How do you find this thing drives you to do the work? How do you know what you want to do?

I don't know what I want to do in life, and I don't how to find one.

[main breach]

i have the same problem...

[final holly]

I guess any answer to this question will be helpful to us both.

I feel like exposing yourself to the world will open more doors. But, how can I expose myself when I am restricted from going out (parents mostly + covid-19)?

[main breach]

I'm not sure we have the same problem (different causes same consequences)... I just started an engineering cursus of 5 years and it is quite difficult mostly because i don't know what i want to do afterward so i right now i've lost all my motivation.

not sure if i made myself clear sorry 😅

[final holly]

Ahh, I am sorry to hear that.

I am just staying home all day in lockdown. I moved to a new country/school and it is different... in a bad way, racism.. discriminations etc. Those problems don't bother me though. The only thing that bothers me at this point in life is that I don't know what I want to do. I don't know what I want.

[main breach]

i'm sorry to hear that ...

difficult time for both of us it seems ...

[final holly]

Nah, it is okay. C'est la vie.

[long spruce]

u have to discover stuff and do different things to know what u want ( try sports cooking art languages ... ) u will find urself

[acoustic gull]

I think, first of all, you need to change your way of thinking. Not knowing what to do is fine, we are humans, not machines with everything programmed. There will be times when you don't know what to do and my advice is to let yourself go. It is not a bad thing and you do not have to stress looking for a "solution"

[acoustic gull]

This is a good tip

[long spruce]

hope it will help u ❤️

[acoustic gull]

Dont be afraid of experiencing new things

[acoustic gull]

And secondly, I hope that the discrimination you are receiving stops, it must be very difficult to get to a new place and not have almost anyone by your side. I send you a lot of encouragement and strength, you will see that everything will improve, just do not give up, you will find your way without realizing it 😊😊

FIGHTING !!

That’s really good 😍

[wary roost]

i really need participants for my survey, only 10 has answered it as of now

[final holly]

Ohh.. can I see the 10 responses. I think you should post the questions on reddit as you may get more responses their.

[wary roost]

wait but i'll blur the names for privacy reasons

[final holly]

Yes, that is important.

[young umbra]

Send me your survey, I'll fill it for ya!

Hopefully more people will follow

Hi guys I need help with this paragraph, its for my International political economy class btw. I don't understand what the last questions mean 😦

[young umbra]

Done! It's only a minute of work

[fresh fog]

should I post it on the social sciences chat?

[wary roost]

it actually increased from 10 to 12

[young umbra]

You're getting there!

[wary roost]

does anyone know where i can post this survey to get more participants?

[young umbra]

How many do you need?

[final holly]

Reddit

[young umbra]

Maybe share with them the subreddit for that?

[wary roost]

at least 100 participants

[final holly]

Maybe post it under the curriculum you study/study groups. For example, since I study the IB curriculum, I would post it in under r/IBO.

[wary roost]

i'll try thanks

[final holly]

Here is an example of how it would look. You may need to change the format of your questions.. though

[wary roost]

can't i just post the link?

[final holly]

Yeah, that is a better idea! I am so stupid.

[wary roost]

nono, your idea was great 'cause people nowadays don't trust links that redirects the user to another website

[final holly]

A lot of people in the r/IBO page have redirected links and a lot of people do submit responses..

[unkempt egret]

James coming today?

[young umbra]

They could just do both

[wary roost]

look at this subreddit r/SampleSize its specially made for surveys someone might need so I'll leave it here

[slate elbow]

hi guys, i'm making a powerpoint on a specific painting and the painter used lots of indirect ''messages'' or ''symbols'' i don't really know what to call them and i want to write something about that in the title. For example: ''Usage of implicit messages'' or ''symbols'', but i feel like that sounds wrong. Any suggestions?

[young umbra]

"The Hidden Meaning of Words"

[slate elbow]

but it's not really words, it's statues and drawings

like cupid statues and stuff

[young umbra]

Hmmm

"Symbolised Meaning"

[slate elbow]

watpatat are u dutch

[young umbra]

Wait, I can do better. Gimme a bit to think and let my brain figure this out

[flint river]

just write symbolism

[young umbra]

Misschien

[flint river]

😐

[slate elbow]

jaaa

ik heb nederlands nodig

[slate elbow]

symbolism is a type of art so it might cause confusion unless explained. that's why i didn't want to use that

[young umbra]

Cool, let's DM then. This is an English only server afaik

[flint river]

just make it plural

actually that might only work in my language, my bad

[dawn smelt]

i think it does in english too

@slate elbow symbolisms zou idd ook werken denk ik

[slate elbow]

''gebruik van symbolismes''?

of symbolen?

[flint river]

yeah symbolismes

[dawn smelt]

oh i thought you had to do it in english

[dawn smelt]

ooooof symbolismen?

[tender yoke]

Hi! I did it too.

Thanks for creating this.

It's super important.

[dawn smelt]

@slate elbow depending on the context (which i don't know) 'referenties' might be the word you're looking for.

[slate elbow]

zoiets

[lucid drift]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6SfPf-_OavY

for everyone that goes through difficult times. One of my favorite out there

[dawn smelt]

To me it sounds like symbolism are implicitly already indirect. Maybe if you give an example of one of the points you'd like to make it becomes more clear.

[slate elbow]

''Gebruik van symbolisering''? or ''Gebruik van iconografie''?

[dawn smelt]

I'd go for the first one.

[flint river]

[young umbra]

Why do you want to do that?

how do I block someone

[young umbra]

On discord?

[lucid drift]

right click on his/her name

[young umbra]

in chatt, discord, every and any way

Right click their name and click block

sick thanks

You are welcome

Please don't block me 😛

[flint river]

good posture? i have poor proprioception

[young umbra]

Makes sense

[lucid drift]

do you feel comfortable with your table?

[young umbra]

I would say try to put as much stuff at eye level as you can

And put your shoulders up, roll 'em back and then relax them

need help

That will improve posture significantly

[young umbra]

wassup?

okay ups wrong text that sounded urgent

lmao

if I block someone

They wont be able to send you anything

will they see my texts/ be able to interact with me in big groupcahts

And their messages will be like spoilers, you can choose to see them in a public chat

gotcha

They will still see your messages

Block me for a second and you'll see

it's fine thank you I got it

i appreciate it thanks

My pleasure

[worthy zenith]

oooh

[median belfry]

[worthy zenith]

thank u!!

[earnest yoke]

notion

[median belfry]

ohh ur notion thing

[worthy zenith]

notion

[median belfry]

yea even i hv one wait il send

[earnest yoke]

here's how i take notes to recall

[median belfry]

my school year didnt start yet so no notes written till now

[earnest yoke]

i take handwritten notes on goodnotes though

notion is useful longterm but i also need to write down stuff and do problems lol

[median belfry]

@worthy zenith You have to make a dashboard for all your tasks if ur using notion... il show u a video

[worthy zenith]

ooh

[median belfry]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6hUkChpwWQ&t=0s

oh i used keep productive too
nice stuff ngl

[worthy zenith]

aight, def gonna check that out

[median belfry]

i wish i had an ipad

[worthy zenith]

same

[median belfry]

but i use books for like school notes which i submit

my personal notes go on notion.. but still an ipad pro would be convenient

[worthy zenith]

an ipad is too expensive for me

[earnest yoke]

get the normal ipad lol

it's cheaper than budget laptops
unless you need to use excel and stuff which i doubt you do in school anyway

normal ipad plus pencil, and a logitech keyboard wireless (literally any keyboard) will work

keyboard if you need to

[worthy zenith]

which one?

[median belfry]

i say get the macbook air for now... it is worth it , the performance is pretty good and it just came out and is as expensive as the ipad pro

[worthy zenith]

i just bought a new laptop so maybe when im in university or something

[median belfry]

oh ur in highschool

sry i thought u were in university

mah bad

[worthy zenith]

[earnest yoke]

29900

In india

Got mine for 23k back in 2018

Still works like it’s new
A laptop costing that much would conk have horrible battery be heavy and mostly useless lmao

[young umbra]

ohh

[young umbra]

but i need a laptop more than ipad

[earnest yoke]

Then save up for a laptop

[young umbra]

ill buy a laptop freelance in it and buy a ipad fro my own mney

[earnest yoke]

I use both so i can tell you an ipad is NOT a laptop replacement

You don’t need an ipad unless you use it like i do
For notes and netflix 😂

[young umbra]

nah

notes can do in a notebook

dont wanna waste my time on netflix

[earnest yoke]

I don’t waste my time on there lol

Doesn’t mean you can’t use it

😂

Then you don’t need an ipad tbh

[young umbra]

i need a laptop badl

[final holly]

If you had a math and chemistry examination tomorrow, what subject would you prioritize?

[young umbra]

anyone familiar with management accounting? my mum has her exam in that but I am cluelesss so I can't help for shit

[young umbra]

subject with more weghtage

[final holly]

They both weigh the same. This school doesn't change it.

[young umbra]

so most probably chemistry

[final holly]

Okay.

Why chemistry?

[young umbra]

coz i think math is already okayish

like u have studied a bit before

[young umbra]

the one you can't retake? depends on what you are aiming for. if it's a decent average grade go for the subject you are least prepared in.

or instead ill just burn the paper and kill myself

if I were you I would concentrate super hard on the easiest one and skip the other so I can have more time to prepare. but if they are official ones u can't do it another day

[final holly]

I am unprepared for both subjects. I recently changed subjects from Bio to chem, and needed to learn the whole book in like one week. There is no way I can cover the entire syllabus in barely a week for the end-of-year exam. The exam is tomorrow, and I don't know much for Chemistry. Lastly, I took advanced mathematics, and in my previous school we learned a different topic and here they learned something different, and learning another whole topic takes ages....

[young umbra]

are these a levels by any chnace

[final holly]

No

I study in the IB syllabus.

Well not exactly..

[young umbra]

dont read the whole book

just read notes

[young umbra]

luvky

hm well try do your best and I am sure your teachers can somehow understand your situation. honestly the only thing you can do is do your best if you wanna play the game fair and squere

[final holly]

This school does more of GSCE but then calls them "IB" I hate where I am at now. this school is the worst school in history!!!

[final holly]

The teachers 😞 , are the worst of any kind.

[young umbra]

yeah find concise notes online or ask someone for them. search onlike the best way for cramming or something

[final holly]

How is it lucky?? I hate this shitty school!!!!!

[young umbra]

ahhh I can relate

[final holly]

Paper 1 is multiple choice just facts. Paper 2 is the "why" does it happen. I am screwed for Paper 2.

[young umbra]

oooo I heard about IB. I am doing a levels. well just finsihed them

[young umbra]

be grateful

[karmic cave]

maybe subject you like more or will pursue in further studies.

[young umbra]

it's okay. first things first calm down cause panick is messing u up

studying in IB is much better than cbse

[final holly]

Racism on another level. The exam I had now was so biased ever. Miss truly loves to pick on people.

[gray night]

how to print return statement in java

[final holly]

Apparently the exam question was out. And this group of people had already written about it.

[young umbra]

ah man that si shit SHIT. amybe in the future you can change teachers or talk to somenoe about the teachers if it's that bad

[young umbra]

that happened in my a levels... it's frustrating

[final holly]

Nah, man. They will probably kick me out. They are nationalistic people. Only support their own kind.

I have gotten in much trouble already.

[young umbra]

well this is hella illegal then...sue the school

[young umbra]

okay how about this... forget about everyone lese and about your past cause you can't change any of those. do your best until tomorrow and move forward. life always finds a way

[final holly]

Thank you so much!!! I should probably forget about it and move on. Thanks for teaching me the lesson I needed.

[young umbra]

which country

[final holly]

Maybe ask the programming server.

[final holly]

Where I am now, or where I was before?

[young umbra]

both

both

[worthy zenith]

[mental wren]

Anyone has any tips on waking up early?? I use alarmy but somehow i ignore it too.. really hard work

[rich jasper]

i need help w that too

[young umbra]

@mental wren What is your sleep schedule like?

The easiest way to change is to have a set time for waking up, and never deviating more than 1 hour from that time. So not more than an hour earlier and not more than an hour later

If you're used to waking up late, wake up about 15 earlier every day until you reach your set time for waking up

Other than that, work on your sleep hygiene (aka improving the quality of your sleep and how easily you fall asleep)

A lot of people forget that the bedroom is basically made for only two thing, sleep and "cuddling"

If you just want to wake up early, set a shit ton of alarms or put your phone on the other side of your room so you have to get out of bed to shut it off

[mental wren]

That makes sense. Thanks!!

[young umbra]

The easiest way to wake up early is to get enough sleep, and this you get from building good sleep habits

[karmic cave]

few more tips would be avoiding caffeine after lunch (if it is difficult to fall asleep early in night) , eating less in the dinner.

[young umbra]

The dinner thing is half right, it depends more on what you eat. If you eat a lot of salt for example, it's more likely you will have to pee at night

Caffeine has a half life of about 5 hours (this means that after 5 hours, half of the caffeine is still in your system and another 5 hours later it will be half of that half etc.), so no caffeine after lunch is great advice.

[small crag]

is anything here applying to the UK?

I just wanna ask if you get accepted to your firm choice uni do you have to go there

eat less carbs and more protein during the day (any source, plant based or animal), and a lot of carbs at night as it will make you more sleepy
