Everything is possible!

Hey, I'm in my second year of IB as well, and trust me so far, it's been hell on earth! What have you finished from your IA's, EE and TOK essay? My IB coordinator keeps telling me that I'm late as hell, and that I need to speed it up with all the IB requirements. I don't know if I'm on the right track with the time and all that. I can't live with IB stress anymore! Officials are in like 3 months and I'm starting to stress out!

Hey, I believe it is hard, I am going through hell as well and I completely understand your frustration. Imust say that my school has pretty strict internal deadlines for all the IAs, EE, WAs, TOK...
I have already finished my EE, TOK essay, Math IA and all the Written Assigments.
I still have to do my Psychology and Physics IA.

I think you still have time to finish all of those but I guess you have to be disciplined. Try to do everything as soon as possible. Not because you wouldn't have enough time, but more because it is just an unnecessary burden weighing you down. Believe me when you finish something, it's like heaven on earth .

Always remeber that the teachers are there to help you, so if you are having problems, don't hesitate to ask for advice, because frustrating will just take you more time.

I have realized that I have spent more time worrying and crying hysterically about my EE, than I have spent writing it. Frustrating is just a waste of time and energy. Just say to yourself that you can do it and you will.

And also try to remember that school is not everything. Even if you don't pass the IB in flying colours, there will be so many opportunities in life for you, that your TOK essay mark will never really matter. I keep telling myself this when I am stressed out.

I wish you good luck

SATURDAY

I am having problems with uploading the photo of my timetable, so I'll just write it down.

TO DO:

Not a lot to do but the tasks are quite time consuming. Especially Physics, where I don't have the slightest idea how I am supposed to the IA.
Oh, well, we'll see.

IOP?

I am also a second year IB student.

I have 3 IAs due on Monday... :/ dying rn

That's cruel! Good luck! I hope you manage to finish them.

Thank you! Good luck to you too!

Have you finished your Maths IA yet?

Yes, I have. We had to hand it in on January 13th.

#Update


So today I wasn't very productive. I haven't started working for school untill after noon and even then I was having troubles concentrating.
I wish I had done more.
In the photo you can see my timetable for today (Saturday). Unfortunately, I only managed to study for Slovene and organise half of my papers (it took me more time than I thought it would).

Tomorrow, I plan to stick to my timetable and I hope I will manage to do everything I have set myself for Sunday.

I got the idea of timetables by @Hannah-Brown on her thread and I am really grateful for that! It actually find the timetable really motivating. But I only found her thread in the late afernoon so I hope I will use it better tomorrow.
I plan to publish my timetable for every week and every weekend.
Creating a timetable has actually helped me to realize that I have more time than I have imagined I do, and I finally see that I am constantly wasting it for stupid reasons. Now that I know this, I will try to use my time more efficiently.

In the photo, there is also a little owl. It is a kitchen clock and I use it when I am studying. I set it usually from 30 to 45 minutes and after it runs out I have a 5-10 minute break. It helps me when I feel really demotivated.

So that's it for today. I hope you had a productive day.

P.S Totally random - I have just found Adele's song Remedy and I looovee it!

Oh my goodness, I love that timetable/ photo - it looks so pretty! That's a good idea with the timer, I am definitely going to try it, thanks Haha, I love that song too!

SUNDAY

Yesterday I was running a really high fever so I spent the whole day in bed. So I had to transfer my Saturday's timetable to today.
Let's see what I got done today:



Well, half is done. Not as good as I would want it to be, but it's ok.

I will try to get as much done during the week as possible. But I find it very hard to be productive during the week. After school, I just can't put myself to work. It's terrible. Does anyone have any tips on how to be productive on weekdays after school? Any advice would be very much appreciated.

I hope your weekend went well and I wish you a successful week

Oh no, I hope you are feeling better!
I'm terrible at working after school as well, cause I just keep telling myself that I've done enough work at school which really isn't the mindset I should have! But I do find that writing down a checklist helps as I fell bad if I haven't ticked them off.
