brbimstudying: i’ve been really productive the past few months, which is actually quite rare for...

Thu, 24 May 2018 03:00:56 -0400

brbimstudying:

i’ve been really productive the past few months, which is actually quite rare for me bc i’m a slave to procrastination i get burnt out v easily. this time was a little different, i managed to keep my productivity levels really high for a whole 2 months all the way until exams ended, studying every single day without fail, around 10 hours a day, when i used to only do an average of 3 or 4. so here’s what worked for me and what didn’t!

what works: schedule your day

what happens when ur a virgo studyblr? u plan. i would write out everything i needed to accomplish for the day, the night before, and be really specific about it. i would then plug in the timings, this works for me, but u can choose to put the time in first and plan what u want to do around the time.

a structured time plan pressures me and i end up getting everything done, especially when i set an alarm on my phone for all the timings!

what does not: cramming a lot of hours into a day

12+ hour work days are ideal, especially when u watch all the ‘study with me: 14 hour work day!’ youtube videos, but they are just tedious and unreasonable.

let’s face it, even if u do complete one or two long study days, ur just gonna get bored and tired and have no mood to continuing this for a week or more. slow and steady wins the race!

what works: tweaking the pomodoro technique

i hate the pomodoro method. at the 25 minute mark, i’m normally on a roll and super focused on the task; and the 5 minute breaks were too short for me to actually take a break.

that’s why i tweaked it to 45-minute study sessions with 10-minute breaks, and after 3 study sessions, a 30-minute break. longer study sessions meant i get a break when i really start to get restless, and longer breaks gave me more time to recharge. i suggest tweaking this to match what works for you.

what does not work; doing too many / too little subjects a day

1. u don’t want to cram all the same topics and subjects into one day. ultimately, it’s a choice of spending 8 hours solely on a subject / topic and not touching it for the next few days / weeks, OR doing just 2 or 3 hours of one subject / topic each day over a few days / week

2. just thinking about doing only one subject for a whole day already tires me out. i have tried it, but normally i get so sick and tired of it that after a few hours, i can’t bring myself to focus on it any longer. on the contrary, if i keep switching between subjects, i get super confused because i have to remember too much of very different info.

what works: leaving the last portion of your day ambiguous

i like to start and end my days early. but in the process, i found a benefit of ending them early: i end up w a chunk of time at the end where there are two scenarios:

i’m super motivated and want to continue studying

i’m rly tired and cannot bring myself to continue bc i need a break !1!!

surprisingly, option 1 does happen a lot. and i think this is a rly good work-life balance. u don’t get burnt out easily, but from time to time, u get a bonus extra few hours of work done!

what does not work: forgoing sleep

sleep is so important omg. 3 hours of studying while sleepy = 1 hour of studying when ur refreshed and ur brain’s working. a tired mind is a slow mind, and an awake mind is a fast mind!

do not worry about that rly hard chapter that u must understand and complete! ur mind continue to works even when ur sleeping, i assume bc it’s rewiring and sorting through new information. after waking up, i find myself being able to better remember and understand information that i struggled on the night before!

what works: finding out ur energy levels and use it to ur advantage

some people work best at 6am and can’t focus after 9pm, some people can’t focus before 11am and work best at midnight. take note of and chart ur energy levels throughout the day for about a week or so, are u particularly refreshed in the morning? do u feel urself always dozing off at 4? are u the most productive at night?

work ur body clock out and work around it! every body functions differently! like in the last point, 3 hours of studying at ur worst energy levels = 1 hour of studying at ur peak energy level! forcing urself to work when ur body refuses to do so will only lead to procrastination.

i sincerely hope these few tips can help u out w being productive! what are some of the things u do to get shit done?

sherlock-study: Sure, it’s fun writing pretty notes and...

Sun, 20 May 2018 22:03:16 -0400

sherlock-study:

Sure, it’s fun writing pretty notes and annotating the margins of your textbook. But as the semester progresses, handwriting becomes sloppy, handouts accumulate, and textbook pages get wrinkled. Hauling books becomes a burden, and it’s nearly impossible to bring everything you need in a standard backpack.

You need to consider going paperless.

But it sounds daunting. How the heck do I give up on paper?

First of all, decide if you really need to do it. There is a wide variety of reasons that might make you less suitable to this way of studying.
1. If your school/major relies heavily on actual paper, then don’t.
2. If you can’t afford the equipment, then don’t.
3. If you don’t have enough self-control, then don’t.
Do not force something onto yourself just because it sounds “cool”.

Okay. Now that you’re ready to try this, make a list of ways going paperless will be helpful (and, if necessary, show this to whoever will be financing your decision). Examples include…
1. Less strain on the back
2. Better organization
3. Saves trees and energy

Next, make your gadget decision. Do you want to type, write, or do both? What system are you familiar with? Do you want an iPad? Pro or regular or mini? Or perhaps a Surface? What keyboard/stylus are you going to use? Portability is key.

Cool. Now that you have what you need, it’s time to choose your apps. Personally, I use a 256GB iPad Pro 10.5 inch with Apple Pencil and the Smart Keyboard, so I will be talking about how these apps work in this setting.

For Notes I use both GoodNotes and Notability. I do this because sometimes I need to open and annotate two documents at the same time, and it is only possible with the split-screen function that comes with iOS 11. These are two different apps with different advantages, so if you must choose one, I recommend watching review and videos before deciding. Personally I prefer Notability as it feels more streamlined for me.

Before every lecture, I use Scanner Pro to scan any handouts that I haven’t already downloaded from my university’s student portal. I then copy these to Notability to take notes on like I would with pen and paper.

For homework, I type up essays, reports, and make slideshows with either Google’s suite of apps (Drive, Docs, Slides, and Spreadsheets) or the iWork ones that are included with the iPad (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote). I always use Google’s collaboration function for group projects.

To keep track of my life, I use Google Calendar. I always have an analog planner (from Muji) to write down appointments, obligations and deadlines because I still like writing with pen and paper.

Other apps I use and love include:
1. Files (with iOS 11)
2. Forest (for self-control)
3. Spotify (music)
4. Kindle (books)
5. Canva (making infographics)
6. Procreate (art)
7. Calculator 2 (cool thing that solves written equations)
8. YouVersion Bible (self-explanatory)
9. Quizlet (to quiz thyself)
10. Social media apps that are related to school

I go through my files periodically and name them properly (date, topic, course) to stay organized. This way, I am able to keep all my materials together without actually bringing any stray papers. I do still have a few paper-related things in my backpack though. I always have a clipboard to write stuff on the go, a folder to hold important documents and filler paper, my planner/journal, and a notebook. However, I’ve managed to dramatically cut down on the amount of paper I use, and it’s been great so far!

How to Help the Victims of the Sierra Leone Mudslide.

Mon, 21 Aug 2017 21:03:04 -0400

justsomeantifas:

For those who don’t know:

The death toll from a devastating landslide and flooding that hit Sierra Leone earlier this week has risen to nearly 500, according to hospital officials.

More than 600 people remained missing on Sunday, with rescue officials warning that the chances of finding survivors are decreasing each day. The death toll earlier stood at 450.

One of Africa’s worst flooding-related disasters in years occurred when the side of Mount Sugar Loaf collapsed on Monday after heavy rain, burying parts of Regent town on the outskirts of the capital, Freetown.

Churches across the country held special services on Sunday in memory of those killed.

Authorities this week buried 461 bodies in quickly-dug graves in the nearby Waterloo cemetery.

Six days after the mudslide, at least 10,000 people have already been forced from their homes.

The government has called for the evacuation of another 10,000 people living on an unstable hillside in Freetown, where a large crack has opened.

I’m sure this list will be far from complete but here are some ways that you can help the victims of this disaster:

HELP SIERRA LEONE MUDSLIDE SURVIVORS

Help victims of mudslides and floods in Sierra Leone

Concern Worldwide is helping with the relief efforts, you can read about it and find a link to their donation page here.

Heart Shaped Hands is raising money which you can find here, and Kei Kamara, a Sierra Leone footballer and president of the organization, will match all the donations you make.

The Red Cross has been aiding Sierra Leone this past week, you can read about what they’ve done here and there is a donation link at the bottom of the page and here is the Sierra Leone Red Cross Society.

Sierra Leone Mudslide Relief Fund

Freetown Flood Disaster Emergency Appeal

Schools for Salone is also taking donations for the mudslide victims, if you donate here make sure to specify you want to money to go to the flood victims in the comment box.

Since the “all lives matter” bunch is busy marching chanting “Jews will not replace us”, “white lives matter”, “blood and soil” and other racist and xenophobic atrocities, I wanna take a moment to commemorate this brave woman. Heather Heyer was 32 years old. She was murdered while counter-protesting in Charlottesville.

Thank you for taking a stand, for fighting against racism and homophobia. You will not be forgotten.

Sorry for my inactivity, I’ve been busy with college orientations and activities! Anyways, here’s a detailed infographic about my study habits, as requested by an anon. Please take note that these habits are effective for me, but may not be effective for you. Do not feel pressured to adapt these because there is no single “right” way to study! I encourage you to find out the best study habits for YOU.

According to the CDC, in 10 percent of those drownings, the adult will actually watch the child do it, having no idea it is happening. Drowning does not look like drowning—Dr. Pia, in an article in the Coast Guard’s On Scene magazine, described the Instinctive Drowning Response like this:

“Except in rare circumstances, drowning people are physiologically unable to call out for help. The respiratory system was designed for breathing. Speech is the secondary or overlaid function. Breathing must be fulfilled before speech occurs.

Drowning people’s mouths alternately sink below and reappear above the surface of the water. The mouths of drowning people are not above the surface of the water long enough for them to exhale, inhale, and call out for help. When the drowning people’s mouths are above the surface, they exhale and inhale quickly as their mouths start to sink below the surface of the water.

Drowning people cannot wave for help. Nature instinctively forces them to extend their arms laterally and press down on the water’s surface. Pressing down on the surface of the water permits drowning people to leverage their bodies so they can lift their mouths out of the water to breathe.

Throughout the Instinctive Drowning Response, drowning people cannot voluntarily control their arm movements. Physiologically, drowning people who are struggling on the surface of the water cannot stop drowning and perform voluntary movements such as waving for help, moving toward a rescuer, or reaching out for a piece of rescue equipment.

From beginning to end of the Instinctive Drowning Response people’s bodies remain upright in the water, with no evidence of a supporting kick. Unless rescued by a trained lifeguard, these drowning people can only struggle on the surface of the water from 20 to 60 seconds before submersion occurs.”

This doesn’t mean that a person that is yelling for help and thrashing isn’t in real trouble—they are experiencing aquatic distress. Not always present before the Instinctive Drowning Response, aquatic distress doesn’t last long—but unlike true drowning, these victims can still assist in their own rescue. They can grab lifelines, throw rings, etc.

Look for these other signs of drowning when persons are in the water:

Head low in the water, mouth at water level

Head tilted back with mouth open

Eyes glassy and empty, unable to focus

Eyes closed

Hair over forehead or eyes

Not using legs—vertical

Hyperventilating or gasping

Trying to swim in a particular direction but not making headway

Trying to roll over on the back

Appear to be climbing an invisible ladder

So if a crew member falls overboard and everything looks OK—don’t be too sure. Sometimes the most common indication that someone is drowning is that they don’t look like they’re drowning. They may just look like they are treading water and looking up at the deck. One way to be sure? Ask them, “Are you all right?” If they can answer at all—they probably are. If they return a blank stare, you may have less than 30 seconds to get to them. And parents—children playing in the water make noise. When they get quiet, you get to them and find out why.

Adapt to this

LET ME JUST POINT OUT THE VARIOUS FLAWS OF LOGIC HERE. FIRST OF ALL DARWINS POWER IS TO LITERALLY ADAPT TO ANYTHING IN THE EFFING UNIVERSE. HIS POWERS DEEMED IT TOO DANGEROUS TO FIGHT THE HULK AND TELEPORTED HIM TO ANOTHER COUNTRY. HE ONCE BECAME PURE COSMIC EFFING ENERGY AND SHORTLY AFTER REMATERIALIZED AS A HUMAN BEING TO PREVENT HIS DEATH. DARWIN IS LITERALLY INEFFINGVINCIBLE. AND YOU MEAN TO TELL ME THAT A PATHETIC BALL OF KINETIC ENERGY FROM SEBASTIAN SHAW MERKS HIM?!?!?! THEY OBVIOUSLY ARE OUT TO KILL THE BLACK MAN IN THE PLOT AND LITERALLY WROTE THIS SCENE WITH NO REGARDS TO DARWINS POWERS WHATSOEVER AND ITS FRUSTRATING THAT THEY WOULD GO OUT OF THEIR WAY TO KILL HIM OFF LIKE THAT

I’m saying. Even in sci fi we ain’t safe

in my headcanon darwin literally became a being of energy and ascended to another plain of existence so he doesn’t have to deal with anymore of this white nonsense

i was SO tight about this bullshit

Years later and I STILL get so mad about this

they killed the one fucking x-man whose power is literally SURVIVAL. That’s his power. He can DO ANYTHING IT TAKES TO SURVIVE! Shaw says “adapt to this??” HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO.

In addition to the above mentioned things he’s survived, when shot with a gun made to kill ANYTHING WITH A NERVOUS SYSTEM, he turned into a SPONGE, and then back again.

Once, he touched a goddess of death. And to survive that, HE BECAME A DAMN DEATH GOD HIMSELF. AND YOU’RE TELLING ME HE CAN’T SURVIVE SOME FUCKING KINETIC ENERGY?? BULLSHIT I SAY. BULL FUCKING SHIT.

This^

This pissed me off so much like fuck this.

You know the worst fucking part!?

In the next film, Days of Future Past, they make a big deal about the Sentinels killing all the mutants. They Sentinels are dangerous because they have the ability to adapt to any mutants power and counter it. They got this ability because their inventor, Boliver Trask used mutant DNA that specialized in adapting to it’s environment.

Now the logical part of your brain would say ‘Oh, he would have gotten that DNA from Darwin, right?’ Nope. FUCKING MYSTIQUE (played by safe white lady #45713 Jennifer Lawrence)!!! Because y’know, changing your outward appearance is the same thing as FUCKING ADAPTING TO SHIT THAT CAN KILL YOU ON THE FLY APPARENTLY!?

I’m still mad about this.

And people asked me why I don’t fuck with the whole rebooted X-men movies. Between this, the fact that days of future past killed off all the X-men of color gruesomely in the bad future and none of them showed up in the “fixed” future. And how they fucked over Storm, Psylocke, and Apocalypse and made them all pathetically weak in that last movie these 3 were extremely racist and just used mutants of color to appear diverse.

Bishop dies because he absorbs too much Energy from those sentinels, when the niggas mutant power is literally energy absorption. Blink somehow got stabbed through the portals she can create, and didn’t sunspot like get frozen to death or some shit?

And don’t even get me started on how they keep fucking up Storm. who can literally wipe out the majority of life on Earth if she ever lost control. And they never let her use her powers to even a 10th of the extent she can. In fact her and psylocke didn’t even get true power boosts in Apocalypse. Compare what they got to Magneto and tell me they got to be “upgraded”. And the bullshit way they killed Apocalypse involving they fake ass “Phoenix” just popping up cause Jean “released her power” instead of it being a bad ass cosmic entity. Apocalypse the oldest mutant in record human history, A mutant with powers on top of powers and he gets taken out by a teenage Jean Grey that like 4 hours before said she couldn’t hid 3 people from a bunch of guards.

Fuck these movies man

Can Jubilee be in a movie for more than five minutes…please?

Can we get an X-Men movie that actually features the varied and unique ensemble cast of bad asses that make up that TEAM instead of say…nearly 3 hours of script writers going “Oh how I love Wolverine, let me count the ways…”

Pretty pretty please???!!!

All of this! ALL OF IT!

Once their rights are relinquished back to marvel maybe we can get some progress but until then…

YES TO ALL OF THIS
