~✧°+* 5/100 days of doing better*+°✧~

02.08.2023

And, just like this, we are back in the groove.

After a slow start to the day i managed to get some important tasks done. No progress on essays I need to write, but I've made plans to meet up with a friend at the library tomorrow, so I hope I'll make some progress then.

I edited an essay for my professor and nearly went crazy over it. I enjoy editing a lot and I am very grateful I get to take part in a project, even if it's just in a really small way. But got damn, that one was not pleasant to work through. It used a citation style I am not very familiar with and then didn't even use that one consistently. I had to ask the other student assistant for help. He's been doing the job for a while and he's being very patient and nice, but it was quite anxiety inducing. I am very grateful for his help, tho, and I hope I'm not causing him too much of a hassle.

Besides that today was just more of the usual. Watched Peaky Blinders and am currently getting some reading in before bed.

Positive things I did today:

kept the duolingo spanish streak going

cooked a meal

got some admin work done

did edeting

watched Peaky Blinders with a friend

continued reading All Quiet on the Western Front

Hours slept: ~9hrs Screentime: 7hrs Steps taken: ~100 (very rainy, no walk for me :(( )

Two energy drinks weren’t enough for the medieval latin texts.

This day was a bit all over the place.

I didn't get as much done as I wanted to, but I'd say it was a succesful day none the less. I got to spend some quality time with a friend and that's worth a lot to me.

For all that it's worth, I'm actually really excited for studying tomorrow. I'm making progress on the witch hunt revision and it's starting to be fun. Hopefully I'll finish my summary of the slides tomorrow.

Positive things I did today:

cooked a balanced meal

continued history of witch hunts revision

kept the duolingo Spanish streak going (very last minute tho)

handed some books in at the library

spent time with a friend

watched a movie (Schatten in meinen Augen / The Bombardment on Netflix; very sad)

Hours slept: ~7hrs 10mins Screentime: 5hrs 30mins Steps taken: ~7.600

~✧°+* 100 days of doing better *+°✧~

I have seen various versions of these 100-day-challenges floating around and decided I wanted to try it out as well!

Instead of just doing "100 days of productivity" or "100 days of studying", however, I decided on coming up with a version of this challenge that better fits my life and caters towards my personal goals more effectively.

100 days of doing better combines efforts to improve academically (through studying and working on assignments), to improve my daily life (through keeping on top of chores and managing my living spaces), my social life (through taking breaks and spending time with friends) as well as efforts ot improve my mental health (through doing things I like, indulging in hobbies and taking a step back if I need it).

Some specific goals I would like to achieve/do in these 100 days:

start studying Spanish more seriously

read at least 2-5 books for fun

cut down on social media/phone time

start the first draft for a story I have been meaning to write

try new recipes and cook a meal once a day

start research on possible BA thesis topics

get out of the house once a day

find an internship for the next semester break

meet up with friends from school at least once

declutter my closet

If you like this version of the challange feel free to join me!

Either way, I hope we'll spend the coming 100 days making the best of out lives <3
