I’ve decided to take part in the most popular challenge of studyblr/langblr community. It’s my last week of summer holidays and after my unproductive summer time, I just want to get back on track with learning languages daily.
100 days scares me, I’m really afraid to fail but well… Let’s give it a try.
Yep, I’m back again. I am home during these times to be with my family and actually have some company. And also, I’ve started writing my masters thesis officially now. Still waiting on some results from the past semester. So far, I haven’t gotten the greatest marks, but I’ve passed all of my exams..
I’m still trying to figure out new routines during my time at home and I feel like I’m not always best at motivating myself to do some work. However, I’m moving forward and searching my way through the jungle that is online literature (Since all libraries are closed which may be a problem over time…) But for now, this will have to be enough, and I have lots of material which i can work with, so I guess I’ll be fine!
Hardcover or paberback / rent or buy/read in silence or read with music / standalone or series / annotations or pristine pages / e book or physical copy/dogearred or bookmarks / mismatched series or complete set /cover matters or you don’t judge / lend books or keep them to yourself / enjoys lit classes or despises them / browses shops or orders online /reads reviews or goes in blind /unreturned books or clean library record / rereads or once is enough / fanfic enthusiast or stickler for canon / deep reader or easily distracted / must read book before the movie or order doesn’t matter / has neat bookshelves or messy bookshelves / skips ahead or resists temptation/read aloud or in your head / guesses plot twists or never sees them coming
Hello again!!! I was tagged by the wonderful @caffeinatedstudies for this playlist challenge!
Rule: put any of your playlists on shuffle and listen to the first five songs!
I’ve chosen my ultimate playlist on Spotify, Awesome Mix Biffi Style. I don’t have specific playlists for certain moods, as I love a lot of songs and I know that would take SO MUCH time for me. Here we go!
Please Mr Postman by the Carpenters-a classic! A very cutesy song to listen to if you’re feeling down too
Nights by Frank Ocean-I don’t listen to any other Frank Ocean songs really, but I really should! This came up on a friend’s playlist at a party once and I loved it
Death of a Bachelor by Panic! At the Disco- I love the vibes of this song! Very old school jazz feel
Falling by Harry Styles- this is a really emotional song, and I only listen to it sometimes just because of the sheer power it holds
Gold Dust Woman by Fleetwood Mac-one of my favourite bands ever!!! Who could ever go wrong with these guys??
4th January: What is the most important things that’s going to happen to you this year? - I would have to say graduating with a Masters Degree!
5th January: Would you rather live in a world where it’s always winter or always summer? - Both could be equally eerie! I think I would prefer always summer because I miss reading and doing yoga outside, but I love the chill in the air sometimes. Autumn is my favourite season.
2nd January: have you made any new years’ resolutions?
Sort of! I’m starting Spanish lessons next week. With an eating disorder my resolutions have always been to lose weight and this year I have struggled not to repeat that, so I would rather not make any resolutions really.
I’ve submitted one essay and have two and a presentation for a grad scheme to go! I also had to do a numeracy test which was so anxiety inducing, so my therapy was digging up these jerusalem artichokes! They’re my favourite! X Emily

Next month my classes start and hopping on this challenge seems like a nice way of starting the new semester (人*´∀｀)｡*ﾟ+
The past few weeks have been hectic! I finished up my final Uni assessment tasks this week (submitted one Communication essay on Sunday, another Communications essay on Tuesday, and my Law essay and Journalism video project last night), and now I’m free for seven weeks. I have never been more excited to do absolutely nothing.
I’ve got one month left of University and am ready to smash out this final leg! I’m currently working on the final touches of a journalism video project - so excited to see this come together!
If you have been following my studyblr, you will know that my first ever 100 Days of Productivity has come to an end. Throughout the course of my participation in this challenge, I have gotten quite a few questions about what this challenge actually is. As I am starting a new 100 Days of Productivity on January 31st, I thought I’d write up an ‘About The 100 Days of Productivity Challenge’ post that covers what the challenge is,why it is awesome, and how to participate in the challenge.
WHAT IT IS
The 100 Days of Productivity Challenge is one of the most popular online productivity tags that motivates people to get things done! The challenge itself, put simply, is to try and accomplish at least one productive thing a day for 100 days. What is considered ‘productive’ is completely up to you. It can range from cleaning your desk to writing a 20-page research paper. Really, whatever you consider being productive can be classified as so. The challenge is super flexible, and I think that is why so many people love to participate in it!
WHY IT IS AWESOME
It establishes productive habits - 100 days is a pretty long time. Getting into the routine of doing one productive thing a day for this period of time really helps to develop productive habits that will improve your efficiency and organisation.
It is a great way to monitor the work you accomplish - The challenge offers a great way to keep track of what you achieve, whether you choose to document it online or on paper.
It motivates you to actually get things done - The expectation of completing one productive thing a day really does motivate you to actually do that one productive thing, and in the end, you achieve more than expected.
It provides you with motivation and support - This has to be one of my favourite aspects of the challenge. There are so many people who are apart of the online study community that participate in the 100dop challenge. We all encourage each other to achieve our best and support each other when we aren’t coping so well. This genuine support and encouragement makes being productive so much more enjoyable.
HOW TO PARTICIPATE
It’s quite simple, really. You do one productive thing a day for 100 days, and you document it however you like. A lot of people, like myself, choose to post a 100 Days of Productivity Challenge Update each day on their online accounts with a photo and summary of what they achieved. I will be using #raf100dop to track my next 100 days, which I recommend you do as well! I’ll be sure to regularly look through the tag and support your posts!
If you would rather not post your documentation of productivity for this challenge online, you can keep tabs on what you achieve on paper instead! I would recommend either keeping a study journal where you write down what you get done each day or use online printables (I really like @emmastudiesprintable) to document your productivity.
TO REMEMBER
You can start taking part in this challenge whenever you like! There is no start and end date. I will be starting on January 31st, the start of my new school year. You are more than welcome to do the same!
You don’t have to be a dedicated study blog or account to partake in this challenge. Everyone is encouraged to get involved!
This challenge is meant to motivate you to be productive, and to make being productive fun! Don’t feel too pressured to post every single day. If you can’t cope with consecutive posting, you don’t have to! Just do what you are comfortable with.

That’s all for now, I hope this post has been helpful! If you are confused or have any questions, please feel free to ask! And if you do decide to participate in the 100dop, make sure to tag #raf100dop so I can check out your posts!

Bringing back this old summary of one of my favourite Studyblr challenges … I may or may not need the 100dop motivation myself :)
I’ve got one month left of University and am ready to smash out this final leg! I’m currently working on the final touches of a journalism video project - so excited to see this come together!
Yo yo! It has been a hectic few months since I last posted a 100 Days of Productivity update. I’m now halfway through my second semester of university, and am loving my subjects. I get to do really cool independently driven multimedia projects in journalism, and read widely about ethics and justice in law! I’ve also been working and spending time with friends a lot more, so its been busy and I love it!
Have just completed a few admin tasks for a journalism News Video Editor team I am a part of, and am moving on to start ticking off my massive to do list. Lets goooo!
Day something (I’ve given up on keeping track), 4th August
These last two weeks I’ve started work in the city and gone back to university (online) for my second semester of the year! (I’ve realised that working in the city is a tad dangerous – I end up spending a significant chunk of any money I make on coffee and food and the occasional book or funky jumper… and I don’t regret any of it mwahaha). I’m taking some really interesting subjects surrounding ethics and digital storytelling this semester for my law and journalism degrees, and I can’t wait to get into it!
Day something (I’ve really lost track now), 12th June
I’ve picked up more shifts at work during these last few weeks of university holidays, which has given me more time to read! (I’ve found a really cute, sunny spot nearby work to walk to with my coffee and book during my lunch break - tis quite picturesque if you ask me).
Currently reading: The Ten Thousand Doors of January by Alix E Harrow and The Hate You Give by Angie Thomas | Watch my July Book Hauland Mid Year Book Tagvideos!
The past few weeks have been hectic! I finished up my final Uni assessment tasks this week (submitted one Communication essay on Sunday, another Communications essay on Tuesday, and my Law essay and Journalism video project last night), and now I’m free for seven weeks. I have never been more excited to do absolutely nothing.
20 Days of Productivity Challenge | Day 1/20,Tuesday, 2 Nov 2021
My last week of full time work is upon me, and two weeks of exams are creeping up. So, I’m back, challenging myself to 20 days of productivity. The first task: complete writing up an article for work. Other thingies I need to do: finish a video edit, write up notes for my next video project, follow up on another article for work, start writing up law exam notes, and clean my room!!!!
My sister and I made a batch of brownies last night (lockdown baking is the only thing getting us through), and I’ve nearly demolished the entire thing already. I’m calling it necessary fuel to get through my to do list of the day.
The university semester, a new full time job and some freelance deadlines are all coming up in the next week - am very excited to get into them with a fresh new to do list.
It has almost been an entire month of lockdown - and we’ve just learnt that lockdown has been extended by another month. I have been working from home, freelancing, reading lots, eating lots, walking lots, playing Zelda lots, and spending way too much time on my phone. The days are beginning to blur together into one big indefinite amount of house-bound time.
I have received some really exciting work news during lockdown, so I’ve spent the last week getting organised! I cleared out the family office to make space for my very own workstation (which I am so excited about - I cannot wait to put together a proper desk setup). I’ve also fallen into the Notion / online planner bandwagon. I’ve created way too many calendars and to-do lists and project trackers. I am obsessed.
Currently sitting my final law exam (at home, from behind a laptop screen and the comfort of my bed). A few more hours until this is submitted, and then I’ll be free!
So we are already four months into 2021?! (My brain is unable to comprehend).
I’ve just finished up at a full time internship (which was just incredible), and am back at university! The last week has been a miscellaneous mess of late night essay writing, podcast editing, bookshelf reorganisation procrastination, and drinking an unhealthy amount of coffee.
Just one more essay to go, and then I’ll be free for the next few weeks!
Almost a week into the new year, and I’m excited to be back at work tomorrow! I spent today organising a list of books I’m hoping to get to this year, and started reading A Man Called Ove. Also, in procrastinating my work, I picked up this old book of essays on Jane Austen’s Emma, which led me to a quote I found so interesting!
Horace Walpole on Austen: ‘This world is a comedy to those that think, a tragedy to those that feel. Jane Austen’s novels are comedies, and can have little appeal to those who … believe thought inferior to feeling.’
My first thought when reading that quote was this: there’s two types of people in this world … thinkers (Austen lovers), and feelers (Bronte lovers). I like to think I’m a bit of both (though I’m definitely more of a feeler). I enjoyed studying Austen for her witty narration that turned the entire book of Emmainto a work of comedic irony exposing the triviality of gossip and parochialism. However, I found it so hard to get through, and not an enjoyable read. Jane Eyre, on the other hand, I simply loved. I was captivated and emotionally moved by it, and would consider it one of my favourite classics.
Sorry for the nerdy side-track. Would love to hear your thoughts!
