Climbing Up The Academic Ladder - my GYG blog

Willbe following ur journey! Such a bookworm myself and ohh crochet what hv u made recently
What year are u in? Wishing u the best with ur journey

I've always been a decent student. With 60-100s but mostly in the 75s-80s but lately I've been aiming high because I'm always in the top five or ten but never the top three. And I'm sure that there are plenty of people like this too. So I promised myself when I saw my ghastly half-term paper that I need to do better. And I've set out an intricate plan to grow my grades, so join me on my journey and let's all see if this works out.

When I'm not thinking about my academic pursuit, I enjoy attempting to crochet before giving up, making bracelets, self-care, running and spending time with friends.

Oh, and this is not the first time I'm going to mention this but,
I am an extrovert with a zero social life. 😥
I'm not one of those people who do swimming lessons and go out shopping with friends. I stay at home, read books, make crafts and go online to look enviously at what others are doing.

So that's about it.

That is so relatable, I'd say I'm more of an ambivert (seriously I can hang out with friends like twice a week max because my social battery dies out) but I love reading too! Excited to see you GYG! I have one myself if you want to check it out called Creating the future of our dreams, fancy name lol but I like yours better.

Was wondering - what gcses are you studing? I'm in y12 so happy to give advice if you want any

And tags of a bunch of people I can think of their usernames on top of my head

Hey guys it's the WEEKEND. And guess who's decide to procrastinate and wait to do homework and copy notes till now? I have a LOT to do and I'm still here, reading other people's GYGs and posting in threads. 😪🤗😅

My To-Do List rn:

This is obviously a lot so I split it into two categories

Homework:

Study/Revision:

I am going to imply ✨TIME-BLOCKING✨ to finish this.

Time blocking is a way you can manage your time where you plan how you'll spend each day, one 'block' at a time. You choose a task, plan how long it will take then add it to your calendar. When you add it to your calendar, you know you need to do at a specific time not in a to-do list where you want to do it but may never do. Don't to add every item on your to-do as a thing in your calendar, though. You don't want your calendar to feel overwhelming or so scheduled that a slight change in plan causes the entire thing to fall to pieces.

My time-blocking calendar. I am studying till 1:00PM (GMT)

One of my favourite calendar is Tweek Calendar — Minimal To Do list and Weekly Task Planner App but it doesn't feature time that well so I made it from stratch.

I have already wasted 1hr 30 so I have 30mins left. I will study again in the evening so it can be managed.

12:30 - 12:45 - History Homework
12:45 - 1:00 : Geography Homework
Any extra time: Research on breakout of COVID




Now with the alarms set and study in 5 mins, I am ready. Some of the best things to do when avoiding procastination is to be brutally honest. I wasted 1hr 30 having a light snack and browsing on social media and The Student Room. With this, you can make plans and solve the problem.

That's me signing out - I will post again in the evening with my second study session about the results of this one and how i will solve this. See you later,
