"School Timetable" Experiment: Week 21
For More Information Go Here
This week I managed! With some modifications.
See, back in my high school days classes were 53 minutes long, including travelling between them, so we probably actually got like 45minutes of schooling per period.
And I had been doing one hour per "class" and that... built up.
So now I've started going for 50 minutes per "class", and while that's less OVERALL (literally, one hour less because of six hours per day), it's a lot more manageable. And more manageable means I am more likely to actually get it done, rather than burn it out. Though, when it comes to actual WORK I'm keeping it to one hour is equivalent to one "class" because I charge by the hour and I don't want to, like, work 3 hours and then only have 20 minutes of a class. Work is kinda very easy on my brain, so those extra minutes working shouldn't contribute to the mental burnout I've been getting lately.
One thing I didn't mention in my last post was on tumblr, that week, I kept on seeing posts along the lines of "when you are tired, resting is the most productive thing you can do." It seemed like a sign.
Now that I'm very clearly past the point where it's excitement keeping me going, hopefully the reduced time will keep me going. It's already giving me more time to play the games I've been meaning to.
I've also pretty much given up on Duolingo for now. I can focus on what Lingodeer has to teach me. And maybe when I'm done with that I can use another resource.
This week's classes were Art, Writing, Gardening, Lingodeer, Anki. One of the things I did for art was This Fanart of Burke Gonzales as I saw him in a dream..
