Productivity

Heyo Guys!
                   Schools been very stressful this week. Adjusting back to a routine is hard and difficult, epically when you're getting back to exams and so one. However, returning to something (thats compulsory) is okay at time. Like I said, returning to a routine takes time, but its easy to improve it.

Recently, my productivity levels are much higher than before. Since I've started school again, Ive had to change from "auto pilot" to "manual". Nothing's automatic as I've had 6 weeks so Ive managed to change my habits.

The first thing i noticed was that I stopped biting my nails. Now, my anxiety certainly doesn't help when it comes to nail biting, but somehow, I've managed to grow them out. I know this isn't huge but it's something I've never been able to do before now. Furthermore, Ive become a lot neater. My favourite thing to do is to add things to my bedroom, like fairy lights, candles etc. (I actually strip clean my bedroom. 3 hours of cleaning was so worth it!).

When school started I thought I'd become incapable to work and wake up and all that jazz. But I did! Sure, I still hate school with a burning passion but hey, it's almost over right? I think I changed my lifestyle by starting to wake up at 6 (only on weekdays, like i hibernate on weekends), my school starts at 8:25, but I meet Fandom and some of her friends at 7:20 at her house and mop about outside for a bit. It's given me a little bit more time to get ready and it's defiantly let me appreciate sleep waaaaaaayyy more. In addition I've booked my week full of after school clubs. My enrichment timetable goes like this:
- Monday, first hour- art/ any other club I'd like to got to and second hour- drama (I've been doing drama since year 7)
-Tuesday, staff meeting day (normally I don't go, but if meetings are off I go to art)
-Wednesday, music (compulsory, as I have music lessons)
-Thursday, art (also compulsory as it's my option)
-Friday, Spanish (also compulsory, schools a b*tch)

Also, on the topic of school, Ive been way more organised and it is amazing!
Hear me out here. What the number one reason you organise and make a home work plan? you literally have an excuse if you don't completely finish a big piece of homework. Now, I'm not saying 'omg never do homwrk it sooooooo boring lol get bad grade!!!1!!1", like a teacher can't say you didn't put in the effort for a extremely big piece of homework when you've made a plan. Plus, it takes soon much anxiety off your shoulders. If you do the maths right, it becomes so easy to set times and honestly having your life organised is so nice.

Now, to talk about hobbies. I love doing all sorts of activities. I'm very creative when it comes to my interests. My love for instruments has blossomed. I did quit violin about 3/4 month ago, but that's because playing it was like a hour and I didn't find it fun anymore. I had a bad moment where i just hated playing piano because I didn't think I was good. But practice makes perfect! Ive taken 20 minutes out my day to play my favourite pieces and do finger exercises (that sounds dirty >.<). I also do around 30 minutes of ukulele (maybe? i just play most of the time). Leading from this, O really like going out and taking photos. I love photography and hopefully my mum will get me an online course to do. I think is you enjoy photography and writing etc, going to town is amazing! The 70p to get a return on the train is well worth snapping some amazing photos and relaxing in a coffee/book shop.

And finally, healthy eating. This ones a bit on the scales for me (see what I did there? no? Ill let myself out..) I know I'm pretty skinny and have a healthy BMI (i hope) but some places on my body I'm not the happiest about. I'm not saying you're not beautiful how you are, oh god no. It's just I feel more confident to say I ate a salad last night instead of burger. Plus, I can't run up the stairs without getting a stitch so exercise and good food makes me feel so much better about myself and its great for my well being anyway.

I hope this can be an inspiration to you and you'll become more productive as time goes on! But then again, don't change for anyone.

Take care.
