Wits William Cullen Library | 2 Hour Study With Me | Ambient Music

Happy New Week!

Today's session is 2 hours long and the sound is ambient music.

Weekend Update:

The whirlwind happend - "When urgency and importance clash, urgency will win everytime. The challenge is executing your most important goals in the midst of the urgent." ~ 4DX

My R exam ran from 2:30 pm to 5:30pm on Friday and I was too exhausted to work that evening, so that commitment fell through (check out the description box in my previous video). I worked for 2 hours on Saturday morning and around 10:30am, I had to move out of my room to another one, which took the whole day.

Sunday morning came with the only notification that matters - money, and as you might imagine, Rosebank Way became the order of the day. I managed to work for about 4 hours for the rest of the day yesterday, and I'd give my productivity(with academics) this weekend a solid 2.3/5.

A big tip for the week (and the entire semester):

If you set a daily or weekly time-specific goal for yourself(any achievable goal should have a time frame really - "X to Y by when"), eliminate anything and everything outside of what you NEED to achieve that goal. If my phone was not on, I wouldn't have seen the money notification that reminded me of all the very important things I needed to buy yesterday.

What would happen if you were to receive a phonecall about the death of a loved one 1 hour within your 10 hour study day? You would stop working instantly. This analogy is a little insensitive but here's my point - there will ALWAYS be something more important to do when you have to study, especially for long hours. Eliminate all the sources that make you aware of these important things for the duration of the exceution of your goal and you will 100% be able to complete that 4 or 6 hour study session in a flow state.

Long story short - Switch off that phone!!. Regardless of how important that text or thing is that you want to attend to, it is still procrastination if it is not part of what you set out to do for that scheduled duration.

I hope you have a lovely week and you hit all your academic goals over the next 5 days.

Most people started school today and for those dealing with failing a module or a year, check out my beautiful friend's channel where she shares her experience with this. She aims to navigate the process of dealing with the setback with you, and I think we all appreciate corners of the internet where people are vulnerable about experiences most of us go through.

Happy Studying!

I cannot believe I'm only discovering this channel now. Absolutely love the transparency and vulnerability in the description box - might just be my favourite part of your channel too ( 😂💕).
