today's adhd sidequest: spent way too much time making a minecraft experience/hotbar template for study purposes (hey at least i kept it relevant)
the armor/health/hunger doesn't really correspond to anything (i only filled them in because my printer ran out of color ink) so it's mostly just for aesthetics
i didn't know what to do for level number (also purely aesthetic) so i just went with my age, 23
the hotbar has blank spaces for me to draw what i'm using to study that day! so here i have my laptop, my visual timer, my notebook, my pen(s), my snack (goldfish crackers), and a bottle of water
the experience bar has 17 segments so i broke my assigned reading into 17 goals by page number (listed below). as i reach each specified page i'll fill in one segment of the experience bar. when it's full i'll have finished!
right now i'm just using this for my reading assignments since they tend to drag on for a while and get boring. but i'm going to try to use it for other types of assignments too!
i'm not sure if anyone will see this post since this is a pretty new blog and i don't have any followers yet but if anyone would like me to post the blank template or if you have any ideas about improving it please let me know!
Hey phoebe, I have no choice but to keep up with my coursework and I'm having a hard time. Since the Covid lockdown began I've lost motivation, along with my appetite and the will to get out of bed before noon. My brain's in a fog of worry and sadness but I'm not sure how to push past it or stop beating myself up for not being productive.
wow that sounds so tough, my love. I would so recommend reaching out to mental health resources for online counselling such as beyondblue to help with your struggles. It’s not easy being in that place and the best thing you could do for yourself is seek professional guidance.
Other things that help with low moods are setting a routine that involves:
- messaging friends and family (social fulfilment) - exercise (even 10 mins, try and get your heart rate up!) - journaling (get those unhelpful thoughts out of your head and onto paper) - to-do lists of a max of 3 things per day (It can be even as small as making your bed or having a shower) -self comfort (do things for you PURELY because you like it and you find joy in it, eg. watch a show you like, take a bath, these things don't have to be treated as rewards, you deserve to feel good)
You do NOT have to be productive every moment of every day. Start small and build back up. Set an alarm for 11am, make your bed and grab some water. That can be where you start, you are only human, my love. Be gentle with yourself, get one thing done at a time because that is all you can do. Focus on one task at a time till completion and thank yourself for taking time to do that for yourself. Everything you do is in appreciation of you and the opportunity you have been given to do the things you choose. I know what it’s like to be where you are, to have lost all sense of happiness and self. Build yourself up and start small, the first step is talking with loved ones about it. It’s easier to care for yourself once you realise that other people do as well, to remember you are valued, because I promise you, you are. <3 I love you. Please stay safe.
