golden hour + thesis writing! unfortunately i haven’t made as much progress as i’d hoped yet, had a rough couple of weeks but i feel like i’m getting back into it now. still very much motivated and still really enjoying it! all in all feeling stressful yet optimistic
Took inspiration from my day and night hustle for this month’s wallpaper set. Aside from your usual desktop and mobile version, I added an option where you can replace your default folder icon with the window for a cleaner look! I’m thinking of doing a set like this every now and then, so let me know what you think!

Study in a brain-friendly way: Tips to enhance growth mindsets
- Read about growth mindsets or watch an interview or film about what happens in your brain when you learn.
- Remember that the aim of learning is to learn. It doesn’t always have to be fun. Being happy or enjoying what you are learning is certainly an advantage, but it’s not a dealbreaker. There is nothing wrong with a little discomfort while you learn. Don’t be put off if you don’t always enjoy learning; it’s really not important.
- Note: making a mistake is a valuable lesson in itself. Most people don’t like making mistakes, but seen as a valuable lesson, mistakes take on a different meaning. You are, after all, learning. And if learning is important to you, mistakes become valuable.
- Try to think of something that you are now better at than you were in the past. What was it that you found difficult, but which has now become easier? How did you achieve this? Thinking about this will put you into a growth mindset.
- When you hear yourself saying ‘I can’t do this!’…….add ‘yet’
100 days of productivity- day 78 (05/10/21)
Today didn’t start off great - I was really tired after a bad night’s sleep - but it got better as the day went on. Booked my flights to see a friend abroad, went on a short walk, did a meditation session and had a mini nap, then I was right back at it, and ended up having a really productive end of afternoon / evening! So a reminder that you can restart your day at any point (also watch the Netflix meditation series by headspace).
