it may not be the easy thing to do, it may not be the fun thing to do, hell, it may not even be the right thing to do, but— wait why am I doing this

You, an idiot: carefully curates your Tumblr experience, follows good blogs, rarely sees a bad post

Me, an intellectual: follows every blog on Tumblr, dash scrolls across my consciousness like a chainsaw, has never seen a good post in my life

You know how study tips are always like “set a timer!”, well… knowing I only have a certain amount of time freaks out Professor Jiggly, the cat who drives my brain. So I have never been able to do that

But keeping track of time is useful

So here’s my solution: instead of setting a timer to count down, set a stopwatch to count up. You can have an approximate target amount to work before taking a break, but the timer won’t interrupt you if you’re focused and you won’t be distracted by the thought that you only have 20 mins or whatever

You just look at the clock when you feel like taking a break and it will maybe say “that was five minutes” at which point you can go argh! I will force myself to keep working! Or it will maybe say “that was 25 minutes” and you can be like “I am a powerhouse”

Also if you have the stopwatch on your phone, it discourages using your phone

I have NEVER BEEN ABLE TO USE TIMERS but I discovered this trick recently and it helps …… a lot
