My presence and activity here on Hive reduced significantly these past few weeks, and although I want to focus on building and growing my account, the start of another semester prevent me from doing so.
It’s been two weeks since my classes started, and I’m still trying to adjust my routine and schedule. To be honest, I’m struggling to incorporate my old routine into my current schedule. If during my summer break, I was able to focus on writing, taking a web development course, and improving my physical health. Now, my focus has shifted entirely to academics, leaving me with the challenge of figuring out how to fit in the things I want to do while staying on top of my studies.
My coursework takes up most of my time, and the activities I enjoyed during vacation have been put on hold. Fortunately, I’ve established a consistent routine where I naturally wake up between 5 a.m. and 6 a.m., giving me more time in the day to get things done. However, I feel that this hasn’t been very effective because, after hours of studying, I often find my mind too tired to do non-academic tasks like writing a blog or cycling, leaving them unfinished. As a result, even though I wake up early, I still feel unproductive because many items remain on my to-do list. Just yesterday, I thought it was a calm day and I could finally take some time off from studying, but shortly after, our professors posted several class materials and activities to be accomplished before the day’s end. I had no choice but to set aside other things and submit my tasks before the deadline.
As of writing this post, I am quite thankful that my brain was functioning well enough to process my thoughts into words. Although it was short, I am still proud that I accomplished something that is not related to college.
I remember my college days... ganon din me, lalo na nung wala pa boarding house at uwian la.. nacoconsume sa biyahe extra hours ko, wala na time for non curricular activities...
pasasaan pat makakaadjust ka rin jan hehe
It’s important to do what you can but don’t overdo it. No sense in burning yourself out! For example, perhaps make it a point to work out on some days and then write on hive the days you don’t work out. That way you can do both in the same week but have time to dedicate to either.
Thank you for the advice. This is what I’m trying to do: if I have free time, I try to write a draft and maybe spend an hour on it. Usually, it takes me several hours to finish a blog, so it’s impractical to spend most of my time writing as it would mean neglecting other things I want to do.
Sundays and Mondays are usually my free time. Maybe I’ll impose a strict reminder to myself that these days are for rest. :)).
Thank you for checking this out and have a great day!
