today’s journal entry prompt: are you satisfied with how you spend your time? how could you manage it better?

What a dayyy. I clocked in close to 8 hours on Forest. Today felt like one of the more productive days of the semester. Week 3, day 1, and I don’t feel behind like I usually do by now. Using Notion has been SO good; it makes everything so much easier! Not just Notion. My time management has also been so much better, and I feel like I’ve more been doing things that *actually* matter to me. My screen time on Instagram AND TikTok in the past week (which, to be fair, has only been 2 days) is about 1/3 of how long I used to spend on them on the average *day*. The exact amount of time was 6 hours. No idea how I had that much time. But last week the whole week I spent 4 hours on TikTok and Instagram each (8 hours on both) so this week I feel like I’m on track to beat that. It gets hard when I’m also trying to do content creation though. If you need an app to get your screentime back on time, I seriously swear by Opal. Unlike Apple Screentime, it doesn’t easily let you unblock your apps. Which obviously is a big help.

Other than that this whole semester has just been so, so good. I have been regularly seeing my horse, putting in hours working and not being behind in class!

One thing this semester that has really helped is my endless to do lists and keeping track of everything… not just the assignments, but the readings as well that some professors assign extra.

That’s all for now; I’m planning on writing more helpful blog posts in the future, and so I hope you stick around for that.
