For my work: I need to rest very comfortably in order to read; now it’s preferably my own dorm as my self-devised space. （有点像皇帝批阅奏折）
I like to use Pomodoro clock doubled with short intensive exercise.
Work/Life divide:
I make a work-life distinction, which usually starts at 9am and ends after dinner around 5 to 530. I have work obligations during work (now it’s two hours per day for thesis and other time for classes, for instance), and I would keep work-irrelevant things apart, of course (make a list if they come to mind).
I have strict deadline for sleep of 11:30 at the latest, which means 11 is the latest I finish up with everything. I usually get up 7:45, except Sunday.
So Mon-Sat 9-530 are my workday time. I do need to work during Sat.
But after dinner, I don’t work; I don’t do anything which I don’t want to. Now, my thesis is something that I want to do, so I could still do it after dinner; but not other annoying classes, for instance.
They say You are what you eat/read, so I regulate both like anti-drug police. I put my phone off social media so as to avoid scrolling (I do have gmail because it’s sort of useful sometimes), and then I put it into assistive access.
I take supplements, once during the day and once at night for things which might make me tired.
I also intend to take a short nap before lunch.
I wonder whether I could try prison workout, or just short learning sessions, or weight training with dumbbell.
I don’t eat sweets unless I feel sick, and I don’t eat snacks unless I’m tired.
Planning:
I plan all my dued work early.
I use goodnote planner on my ipad to do most of my planning. Then I use a physical listbook to keep my mind.
I choose my dorm as my desirable work location (occasionally I can go to my school office on the third floor like on weekdays etc), so it’s my primary home office. I wonder if I could use more accountability by start broadcasting studying, etc.
On work habits, I mostly don’t keep any physical paper; I intend to throw them away after a while so I always keep record needing things by photographing them, now into notebility mainly as where I keep my course work/or goodnotes alternatively.
I limit email checking unless I want to send one.
At nights I often do self-care stuff as recreation now. I also like watching stories. But recent days I’m working on organizing myself. But I keep it simple when I’m busy.
