Studying from home+some pieces of advice


One may think that with all the time available in the quarantine, completing all your tasks is less challenging however as I keep on confirming every day, to my own desperation,  procrastination has slowly but surely clung its way into my veins...  This has brought terrible consequences such as sleeping until 4am finishing homework because I used the rest of my day to panic about how difficult my assignments were. I ended up crying and I realized that avoiding suffering didn't spare me from it so I'm determined to change my ways... And for that purpose, I have done some research on the matter, here is some summarized and decorated advice for those who can relate.

    You know? Perhaps you should follow my advice: I believe the best way to help yourself and overcome stress is by speaking to others (not WhatsApp/messenger messages). Maybe you and the other person would be able to reach to an agreement on what to do first and so on as in a, sort of, teamwork dynamic.

    I admit that the more I learn about time self-management, the bigger my eager is for procrastinating when using my lap. I just can't run counter to the fact that more than never before, I am responsible for my academic and professional success or my historical failure for having been a victim of distractions at home.

    I'm a big time procrastinator but i only prcrastinate tasks that i don't like such as writing reports and paperwork for university.... but hey a teacher gotta do what a teacher gotta do! I try to simplify things as much as I can, working only during office hours. It's been hard but I think it is worth the try.

Insights gained from each subject this semester (as phrases)

Image
This photo was taken at the begining of the semester. I had just changed from the morning to the afternoon shift.  That specific day I felt welcomed, extremely happy and comfortable. ENGLISH VIII Self-discipline makes or breaks progress. INTERCULTURALISM Education is still moving and we need to keep pace with it. PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE Teaching is as challenging as rewarding (most times). RESEARCH IN APPLIED LINGUISTICS When in doubt, still working on your assignments or you'll fail the subject. That came out less poetic than expected but it's true. ERROR ANALYSIS  Everyday life is filled with examples we can take advantage of to learn. RESEARCH SEMINAR  A good foundation is the beginning of greater things, so let's rebuild as many times as needed.

So...  the semester is almost over and  I thought it would be a good idea to share my experience with  this whole shift to online lessons. PROS CONS More time ...to sleep A messed up schedule Not needing to transport  Thinking I have more time than what I actually have Doing homework in my bed Falling asleep and not finishing it early Food is ready to prepare and serve The need for constantly visiting the fridge Opportunities to do other activities Getting too distracted Time to think Time to think HOW DO I FIGHT THE CONS? 1) Doing all that's possible in order to have a schedule and respect it  (as it can be clearly seen, I don't always succeed in this aspect) 2) Being more active during the day helps me sleep better at night, also putting  the phone away before going to bed works. 3) Breathing exercises and rest periods in order to reduce eating out of stress.  (It helps setting a...
