6/100 Days Of Productivity

ppl on here get sooo mad when someone says you should be a little bit grateful for lgbt allies like sorry but i have homophobic overbearing parents & im used to people thinking gays are freaks and “groomers” so the concept of “cishet people who are willing to ally themselves with the lgbt liberation movement” is something i dont think ill ever take for granted. but thats just me i guess idk. yeah its praising the bare minimum but receiving the bare minimum allyship is a blessing when im used to deeply entrenched homophobia. i’d rather shit talk the people who actually want me dead instead of the cishets showing up at pride to day drink with drag queens. what does ridiculing them do except ruin the vibe :|

I feel you... I am a bit younger, but I have lost so many years too, and with that I feel like I've lost myself too. Something that has helped me is to lower my expectations and slow down in life, and to allow myself to grieve those lost times. Also to allow myself to be disappointed, and than forgive yourself. You don't have to be anything right now, you just have to exist and keep pushing forward. And have the belief that the answer will reveal itself to you the more you allow yourself to experience life. At least, that is what I am hoping for.

Also don't forget you are way stronger than you think! 💖

i KNOW that 25 is not old i KNOW that i have more time to be someone but i also feel like i have lost so much youth to my mental illness and grief and that in itself is part of the reason why i cannot bring myself to be anything

i was thinking this morning about how things get old and the new self love habits i'm cultivating will lose their freshness. once that happens, i tend to forget about their importance and the habit gets harder to maintain. but once again this must come down to presence. sure, we want habits to become something we think less about, but we also should probably remember to thank ourselves for the work we do. so i guess what im getting at is maybe next time you do something for yourself you do every single day, like brushing your teeth or making a meal, really try to appreciate yourself for it. and maybe come up with a bunch of examples of little ways you take care of yourself. and then thank yourself for those too.

Today’s Exhibit of the Day? It’s one of the largest amethyst geodes in the world! At about 13 ft (4 m) tall and 9,000 lbs (4,082 kg), this giant weighs about as much as three compact cars. It was born when molten magma poured from the Earth’s crust some 135 million years ago. While its dazzling purple crystals might catch your eye, this geode would have originally been composed of colorless quartz—its distinctive amethyst color deriving from millenia of natural radiation, heat, and trace contaminants. 

You can spot this geode, and other sparkly specimens, in the Museum’s Mignone Halls of Gems and Minerals. We're open daily from 10 am-5:30 pm! Plan your visit.

Step 1: Learning Style Assessment

1.1 Research Learning Styles:

Explore different learning styles, such as visual, auditory, kinesthetic, or read/write. Familiarize yourself with the characteristics of each. (find my post here)

1.2 Reflect on Past Experiences:

Recall situations where you felt most engaged and learned effectively. Note the activities and methods that worked best for you.

1.3 Take Learning Style Assessments:

Utilize online learning style assessments to gain insights into your preferred learning style. Examples include VARK (Visual, Auditory, Reading/Writing, Kinesthetic) or Honey and Mumford's Learning Styles Questionnaire.

Step 2: Peak Productivity Hours Identification

2.1 Self-Reflection:

Reflect on your daily energy levels and focus. Identify times when you feel most alert, focused, and energetic.

2.2 Experiment with Different Times:

Schedule study or work sessions during various times of the day. Observe your productivity levels during these sessions.

2.3 Track Productivity Patterns:

Maintain a journal to log your productivity levels throughout the day. Look for patterns or consistent periods of heightened focus.

Step 3: Preferred Study Environments

3.1 Experiment with Settings:

Study in different environments, such as libraries, cafes, quiet rooms, or outdoor spaces. Note how each setting affects your concentration and comfort.

3.2 Consider Noise Levels:

Assess your tolerance for noise. Determine if you work better in complete silence, with background music, or in moderately noisy environments.

3.3 Evaluate Lighting:

Pay attention to the impact of lighting on your focus. Experiment with natural light, artificial light, and different color temperatures.

3.4 Note Distractions:

Identify potential distractions in each environment. Consider whether you thrive in a completely distraction-free zone or if a mild level of distraction enhances your productivity.
