randomising tasks helps SO MUCH im so serious - in my last era of Holy Shit I Have So Many Things To Do i completely ignored the pressure of any logical order or strategy and just put them all on a wheel spinner website and the reduction in effort was INSANE 😭😭😭
"barely studied" is a FUCKING lie because either
a.) they have great fundamentals by studying similar concepts when they were younger
b.) they're studying secretly cuz it's "cringe" to show effort
c.) their definition of "barely studying" may be "studying" for you
d.) all 3
My hot take as a (STEM) instructor is that you should have read the textbook chapter ahead of it actually being covered in class to effectively get the most out of lectures. Lecture should not be the first time you’re encountering concepts. That’s the point of the textbook.
if you're bad at buying people gifts and haven't already learned this, get people accessories for their hobby instead of something for their hobby
i.e. if someone collects watches, don't get them a watch, get them a fancy display case
1 READ OFTEN. i dont just mean fic. read books, poetry, articles. find beauty in syntax and then break every rule you can as you develop your voice and prose
2 WRITE OFTEN. the more you practice the better you get
3 TALK TO WRITERS. get feedback from other creatives, it helps!!
If you’re in college right now, GET THOSE INTERNSHIPS / APPRENTICESHIPS, GO TO THOSE JOB FAIRS, HAVE A LEADERSHIP ROLE AT YOUR SCHOOL, BUILD RELATIONSHIPS WITH PROFESSORS AND ALUMNI….cause this job market is NUTS and simply having a degree isn’t going to cut it anymore 😭
