3 months!!! and we’re nearly at 700 followers<3
so, go check it out(PLEASE I BEG YOU, THAT STUDYGRAM NEEDS SOME LOVE), “don’t be a prick”, and be nice:)))
“i don’t like writing about my day, but i want to keep a journal”:
quotes and copywork. when reading, if you find something you enjoy, just copy it into the notebook. you can copy a whole chapter if you wish, highlighting what caught your attention the most.
definitions.look up on a dictionary and copy it. you could write your own dictionary as well, making up definitions for words.
lists.a classic, write movies to watch, books to read, the playlist of the month or just the groceries you have to buy.
maps.when going somewhere, you could draw the route you took or just a map of the place itself. just look up the place on google maps and copy it. you can draw a little map of all the places you have lived or the schools you have attended as well.
photos
take “notes” as you watch movies / documentaries. write down phrases that caught your attention or doodle.
illustrations and clippings. if you see an image or piece of art that you liked, put it in your journal. if it’s from a book or from a magazine I would recommend scanning it, tho’. it will serve as a record of what kind of art you enjoy through the years.
newspaper clippings from the day.
tickets and pamphlets. from movies, museums, transportation.
postcards
records.you could record for a month what the temperature was when you woke up and when you went to sleep. if you do that for a year, it gives you a better notion of the passing of seasons. you could record rainfall and other seasonal changes as well. you could choose something (an animal, a plant, an item or object) and write down every time you see it.
rubbingsof leaves, coins, landmarks.
count.there’s a scene in the movie Coraline (2009) where Coraline’s dad tells her to go count the windows. you could do the same type of counting game if you are bored and write down.
mindmaps/sketchnotes + timelines of books, movies, music albums.
collages
pressed leafs and flowers
your collections. if you collect anything you could write down an inventory or maybe try to draw the items.
recipes.write down recipes and give it a score every time you try it. you could do the same for drinks you try out.
stickers
comic strips. you can find a bunch of it online, glue your favorites in your notebook.
Being a studyblr doesn’t mean you need all the fancy stationery.
Being a studyblr doesn’t mean you need to be a “perfect” student.
Being a studyblr doesn’t mean you need to know what you want to study if you plan on going to college.
Being a studyblr means that you find an interest in school and want to continue working hard. You don’t need to prove anything to anyone. You’re doing this for yourself.

february felt like it flew by at the speed of light but I managed to read 6 books, here’s a look at the finished spreads and my setup process for the new month
If you have been following my studyblr, you will know that my first ever 100 Days of Productivity has come to an end. Throughout the course of my participation in this challenge, I have gotten quite a few questions about what this challenge actually is. As I am starting a new 100 Days of Productivity on January 31st, I thought I’d write up an ‘About The 100 Days of Productivity Challenge’ post that covers what the challenge is,why it is awesome, and how to participate in the challenge.
WHAT IT IS
The 100 Days of Productivity Challenge is one of the most popular online productivity tags that motivates people to get things done! The challenge itself, put simply, is to try and accomplish at least one productive thing a day for 100 days. What is considered ‘productive’ is completely up to you. It can range from cleaning your desk to writing a 20-page research paper. Really, whatever you consider being productive can be classified as so. The challenge is super flexible, and I think that is why so many people love to participate in it!
WHY IT IS AWESOME
It establishes productive habits - 100 days is a pretty long time. Getting into the routine of doing one productive thing a day for this period of time really helps to develop productive habits that will improve your efficiency and organisation.
It is a great way to monitor the work you accomplish - The challenge offers a great way to keep track of what you achieve, whether you choose to document it online or on paper.
It motivates you to actually get things done - The expectation of completing one productive thing a day really does motivate you to actually do that one productive thing, and in the end, you achieve more than expected.
It provides you with motivation and support - This has to be one of my favourite aspects of the challenge. There are so many people who are apart of the online study community that participate in the 100dop challenge. We all encourage each other to achieve our best and support each other when we aren’t coping so well. This genuine support and encouragement makes being productive so much more enjoyable.
HOW TO PARTICIPATE
It’s quite simple, really. You do one productive thing a day for 100 days, and you document it however you like. A lot of people, like myself, choose to post a 100 Days of Productivity Challenge Update each day on their online accounts with a photo and summary of what they achieved. I will be using #raf100dop to track my next 100 days, which I recommend you do as well! I’ll be sure to regularly look through the tag and support your posts!
If you would rather not post your documentation of productivity for this challenge online, you can keep tabs on what you achieve on paper instead! I would recommend either keeping a study journal where you write down what you get done each day or use online printables (I really like @emmastudiesprintable) to document your productivity.
TO REMEMBER
You can start taking part in this challenge whenever you like! There is no start and end date. I will be starting on January 31st, the start of my new school year. You are more than welcome to do the same!
You don’t have to be a dedicated study blog or account to partake in this challenge. Everyone is encouraged to get involved!
This challenge is meant to motivate you to be productive, and to make being productive fun! Don’t feel too pressured to post every single day. If you can’t cope with consecutive posting, you don’t have to! Just do what you are comfortable with.

That’s all for now, I hope this post has been helpful! If you are confused or have any questions, please feel free to ask! And if you do decide to participate in the 100dop, make sure to tag #raf100dop so I can check out your posts!

Bringing back this old summary of one of my favourite Studyblr challenges … I may or may not need the 100dop motivation myself :)
Day something (I’ve really lost track now), 12th June
I’ve picked up more shifts at work during these last few weeks of university holidays, which has given me more time to read! (I’ve found a really cute, sunny spot nearby work to walk to with my coffee and book during my lunch break - tis quite picturesque if you ask me).
Currently reading: The Ten Thousand Doors of January by Alix E Harrow and The Hate You Give by Angie Thomas | Watch my July Book Hauland Mid Year Book Tagvideos!
My sister and I made a batch of brownies last night (lockdown baking is the only thing getting us through), and I’ve nearly demolished the entire thing already. I’m calling it necessary fuel to get through my to do list of the day.
