I don’t really have anything to blog about so I’m just gonna talk about how I have been doing lately, spoiler alert, not good. With many deadlines fast approaching and my motivation getting increasingly lower I am not sure I can keep up. Our literary portfolios are due this week and I’m still not finished and I am struggling for motivation. I’m struggling to just have the energy to get out of the bed and do something.
I’m trying to combat this with things I enjoy. The other day I watched shows with my friend over discord. It was a nice time to just relax and take my mind off of things. Sometimes you just need to take a break, and that is fine.
Working yourself to death won’t do anything but make your work look rushed. Taking breaks is essential to keeping yourself productive; and also to your mental health.
Balance is a key element that helps keep yourself in order. A mix of pleasure and work is typically the best course of action to get your work done and not become too overworked.
Try taking a minute to do something you enjoy. It will help in the long run. Talk to your friends, play your favorite video game, maybe just take a snack break, it really doesn’t matter as long as you can take breaks.
Remember your health is more important than a school assignment, no matter what the school system tries to tell you.

I like this ! I feel like it is uber important to find the balance of work and like entertainment. I’m glad that you are reminding people of that aspect because it is too easy to get caught up in the fluff
Thank you for sharing this, Lillian! The quotes you included are very sweet reminders, and they’ll stick me with for a while. “Remember your health is more important than a school assignment, no matter what the school system tries to tell you.” — Yes, yes, yes!
Lillian, thank you for providing motivation for other when you’re stuggling to find it for yourself. I hope you have a great week despite the deadlines and I’m glad you’re enjoying yourself still.
