Bring on the noise ๐ช no, but seriously, I get horrible headaches after/when being in loud pubs or at events, so these earplugs are great because...
1. They look cute
2. They block out enough noise for me not to feel overwhelmed, and yet I'm still able to hear what people are saying โ๏ธ
These are "loop engage plus" from @loopearplugs ๐ซถ

๐คทโโ๏ธ Feeling unmotivated?
Give yourself a productivity boost:
โ๏ธ Break your work into ultra-small, more manageable tasks. This can help you create a sense of progress and momentum as you work through each of them.
โ๏ธ Take a break and get some fresh air to feel more refreshed and energised
โฐ Set a 5-minute timer and work on the task you are procrastinating on doing. Only focus on it for 5 minutes.
Promise yourself youโll take a break after (and do take a break, don't extend the session!). Give yourself a lil' reward after - maybe another cup of coffee or a Skype session with a friend? After this initial starting point, returning and finishing the task will be much easier. Getting started is always the hardest part.
What do you do when you feel unmotivated to do that one task? ๐๐ซฃ

๐๐ป These earplugs from @loopearplugs are truly lifesavers! I initially purchased the "quiet" type that blocks out more noise and is perfect for studying, but after enduring a loud pub and struggling to converse with friends, I decided to order the "engage" ones too. The constant loud background noise was driving me insane at the pub. With the "engage" earplugs, I can still hear people, but the background noises are much quieter.
๐๐ป I opted for the "engage plus" package, which includes "mutes" - silicone circles that you can add to your earplugs for additional noise cancellation.
๐ซถ๐ป I love โem! If you have any questions, let me know. I wear the "S" size ear tips.

COMEON, let's keep it real - studying abroad is not all sunshine and rainbows ๐ฆ
With all the work and studying, it can be tough to maintain even an โokโ work-life balance. You might feel overwhelmed, anxious, or homesick ๐ And thatโs totally normalโฆ
Itโs still totally worth it in the end, though. Personal growth, new perspectives, and lasting friendships youโll make ๐ So take a deep breath, stay focused on your goals, it will all be a-okay ๐
You do you boo and make the most of it ๐ซถ

The productivity tip you need to try: Calendar Blocking ๐
|| Why?
I've been using calendar blocking for about six years now. It all started back when I was doing my Bachelors, and this simple action has wholly transformed my productivity ever since. Especially this year, doing my Masters and working part-time, calendar blocking has become a dear friend that keeps me sane.
I never realised how much time I was wasting until I started blocking off specific time slots for each task โฐ
Of course, Iโm only human, and there are still many occasions when I procrastinate, but calendar blocking always helps me to hop back on the productivity wagon and get up to speed with my responsibilities ๐ซถ
Here are more reasons for calendar blocking:
๐ Helps you use your time more effectively and efficiently
๐คท Helps you say "no" more often to non-important and non-urgent tasks
๐ฏ Helps you focus on one task at a time and avoid multitasking
๐งโโ๏ธ Helps reduce stress, as you are forced to allocate clear time slots to get tasks done, and every task has a clear deadline.
Combine calendar blocking with other tactics like the Pomodoro technique, breaking down each task into smaller sub-tasks + following the Eisenhower matrix (do important + urgent tasks first), and I guarantee you'll become unstoppable ๐ฅ
What I learned from the past years is that unless a task/meeting/event is on my calendar, it is not going to happen.
As simple as that.
