I have just finished the final draft of that book, as you can see in this video. I did self-publish a book about bullying when I was seventeen which is available on Amazon (amzn.to/3mdJKLm), but I'm slightly embarrassed by it now!
🎃 Do you have merch? I don't have merch in the traditional sense (I can't imagine selling something with my face or name on haha!), but I do have a stationery company where I sell planners for students. These are all designed with students in mind and follow models which I've used when planning my studying. Our products are printed in pastel colours on recycled paper: bit.ly/3wgsR85
🍵 What's your favourite tea? That's a REALLY hard one, but I think I'd have to say the B&B Chocolate Digestive Tea: bird-and-blend-tea-co.sjv.io/youwilllovethisone (affiliate link)

Something I like to do before the academic year starts is plan out my "ideal week". So I'll put down all the moments where I have lectures/seminars and other appointments and then I plan around those: When am I going to do my reading or assignments? When do I want to go and workout? When will I hang with friends? When do I have time to clean/reset? It's not to say that I have to adhere to this "ideal week" every single week, nor is that absolutely possible, but it's really nice to sit down and be able to think what you'd want to do with your time. I think it's a nice way to see what your priorities, goals and intentions are for the next semester and it creates a tool to hold on to once the academic year starts :)

@chrysvandork08 10 месяцев назад

My second most given advice is setting a standard time that you use to unwind- something to look forward to. My partner and I call it anti-adulting night in post college life, but it is the same as a college student. Pick a time every week where you dedicate to not doing anything responsible or for self-care. Sometimes it’s just an hour on Sunday morning at the coffee shop reading a fun book, or it’s a few hours Wednesday evening to watch TV or a movie. This does a lot to reset your brain.

@LunabirdBookclub 10 месяцев назад

I love this! Sunday afternoon is the designated unwind time in our house. Helps us to feel refreshed for Monday

@tarastudies 10 месяцев назад

A lot of students struggle with their expenses, I think it'll be nice to be ahead of yourself and just write a list of expenses you might have and do a quick math on it to see what's up, things like transportation fees, lunch fees, books you need to buy for your lectures, university fees and so on.

That time during August when I tend to spend slightly too much time watching your videos because I know school is going to start soon and autumn is going to start soon and I want to start my cozy season before than because I’m impatient is so otherworldly. As embarrassingly nerdy as it sounds, I am admittedly so excited to begin school and studying again and watching your videos makes me feel so much more pleasant about it because I don’t feel weird for enjoying studying. I like watching pieces of myself through other people, it is so comforting. And I love the little community of viewers to because you all seem so wonderful!! :D

I would also schedule my (bi-) annual health checkups (dentist, gp, gynaecologist etc ) before the academic year starts. Also get your bike fixed, cleaned and checked. Another thing I would suggest is buying a bunch of birthday cards and stamps ahead of time and already make a list for Christmas/birthday gift ideas. These small things like going to the Post Office or finding gifts can cause a lot of stress when you don't have time.

@jasoncromwell4206 10 месяцев назад

The only thing I see you missed Ruby was the importance of daily exercise. I wish I had known how much it would improve my life in my late teens/early 20s. We spend so much time in desks/ behind laptop screens/ TV screens/ tablets/ playing video games/ driving that we can forget to include it as part of our daily life. Good luck and the best of everything for those heading back this semester.

@citrinedreaming 10 месяцев назад

She does a lot of exercise! She didn’t show it in the video but she walks and runs and does gymnastic movements or yoga and things like that. It’s possible she took it for granted because it’s so ingrained in her life

@jasoncromwell4206 10 месяцев назад

@@citrinedreaming I wasn't talking about Ruby I know she always shows herself going for walks and jogs. I just thought it made a fun edition to the list. One of those things I wish someone had told me post Secondary School, because it does get harder the older you get to fit exercise in.

Definitely take a few hours to be totally offline and give yourself the space to think through all your priorities. Especially when it comes to non-academic things, what do you want to focus on in your life in terms of hobbies, skills, relationships, socializing, or spirituality? How do you plan to work that into your life on a daily/weekly basis?

@poezjawszkole1491 10 месяцев назад

Working as a Polish teacher, being head teacher, im normally spending much time with my students at school. This encourage me to plan my weekend reading, i have approx.35 Saturdays to spend on reading, and to plan going outs on Sunday, like filharmony, theatres, cinema, some events which I can expect. Also some of my plans change due to some obvious every year seasonal school year duties, but we teachers should balance our growth and our students growth;)

On your reset checklist you might want to arrange it in order od what to do. For example, first tide, then dust (top to bottom) and then vacuum/hoover. If you dust everything onto the ground when you've already vacuumed you'll have to vacuum again.

One thing that I would recommend adding to the "Sunday Reset Routine" would be the creation of an offline backup of important folders/files on the computer, especially the ones concerning uni. I have been doing this with my main folders for quite a while now and found it to be a reasonable compromise between being "up-to-date" and "not-too-annoying".

@faeriehearthwitch6185 10 месяцев назад

For setting up into a new school or just the season, I always like to make a list of books I would like to read. I don't necessarily have to finish them all (I do this every January, too) but just have a TBR list ready so in down time, I know what I want to pick from, rather than waste time staring at my bookshelves and getting overwhelmed in trying to pick something out. Same with making a personal to-do list; places I want to go, things I want to get done, even movies or shows I want to watch. Again, just to have ideas handy so I don't spend time dwelling on the decision and just get on with it, if that makes sense!

For a lot of people the paradox of choice and having so many options can be overwhelming and stressful. I love the strategy because you still do have some choice about what you want to read and flexibility but you still can be more intentional, rather than just quickly making an impulsive decision and wasting your time and then getting upset because it is stressing and overwhelming you.
