The words “pantser” and “planner” get thrown around a lot within the various virtual writing communities, especially those who participate in National Novel Writing Month. November has come and gone, but writers do not let the changing of the seasons stop their craft. If one is a planner, they find planning out their novel in advance to be most productive. Some people plan their stories for months in advance before starting to write. Conversely, if one is a pantser, they prefer to take a more freeform approach to their writing projects. In a way, the stories of a pantser write themselves because the author is not afraid to take a concept and run with it. 

I am a scientist by trade. My entire life revolves around meticulous planning in order to get the accurate and precise results I need. A byproduct of that is that I seem to not be able to do anything without creating a game plan first. If I don’t, writer’s block sets in and nothing gets done, or I get so focused on one certain detail that the rest of the work falls short. So, I’ve put together a master post of resources to help other planners (and people who want to be planners) organize their thoughts for a productive writing project.

As always, the links I find to be especially apt will be in bold.

HOW TO BE PRODUCTIVE ON THE WEEKENDSHi study buddies it is Saturday night and I’m home alone and one

HOW TO BE PRODUCTIVE ON THE WEEKENDS

Hi study buddies it is Saturday night and I’m home alone and one thing I hate about being alone is that I really never get anything done. I’m either cooking or I’m in my bed and I just hate doing that because I’m so unproductive. I know a lot of us just hate studying especially during our “down time” and we also have other priorities we need to do during the daytime. So today I’m going over some tips on how you can make your weekend a little but more productive and studious. 

  • there are 60 hours between the end of Friday after getting out of school and the end of Sunday, substracting let’s say seven hours of sleep every day you have about 39 hours of free time.
  • That is plenty of time to relax, do all the activities you need to do and also be productive to work on assignments. The first thing you need to do is plan out your weekend and make a schedule.
  • if you don’t want to read everything, i made a video explaining the same exact productivity tips on my youtube channel {link}

STUDY EARLY + PLAN A SCHEDULE

Weekends are a time for you to relax, but if you can, try to start working early in the morning because you’re going to be more productive and your brain can actually function properly. 

By 12-1 AM at night is the time where the majority of people including me cannot be productive so just try to avoid working during that time period because it’s just not a good time to be trying to memorize math functions and write a week pieced essay. I know that every time I try to study during 1 AM or 2 AM I always end up being so slow at retaining information, it just becomes counter productive. 

  • Start your assignments on Saturday night or the afternoon and try to finish it during Sunday morning. (recommended)
  • if you have the motivation to start your homework during Friday obviously do your homework during Friday, that is the best thing to do, but for the majority of us I know we would like to relax for a little bit.
  • So just try to plan a routine and schedule that matches your weekend

FIND A STUDY PARTNER

So now that you have created a routine or something or you can follow. I’m going to go over some tips on how you can be more focused and concentrated on doing the stuff that you need to do.

  • find a study buddy or just a friend that you know can keep you company. 
  • go to your local coffee shop or someone’s house and work there because if you have someone nearby, they can keep you accountable for actually doing your work  (obviously find a friend that will not distract you).
  •  If you can’t meet them in person Skype them I know a lot of people go on Skype chats with your friends and do homework. I think that is a really good idea I’ve done it a few times myself and I’ve been pretty productive during them. So try to have someone nearby that can keep you on track so you don’t spiral down into a YouTube and Netflix day.

NO MORE DISTRACTIONS

Another thing you can do is actually download some applications  that can keep you off sites like Netflix, YouTube, and Facebook.

  • I talked about this in my how to be productive after school video and basically just download this app called “self control” {link}
  • what it does is that a blocks you from using sites that you would normally get distracted on.
  • So you can and manually put in sites like Facebook.com and Netflix.com The app will block you from using it for certain amount of time that you put in, so usually when I’m studying I block myself from using YouTube for about 30 minutes to an hour limit.

FIND A STUDY SPACE

Experiment with where you’re studying because I know I cannot concentrate for my life In my bedroom.

  • The majority of the times where I’m the most productive is in my kitchen
  • experiment with where you’re studying and find out if you were the most productive in your bedroom or if you’re the most productive sitting on a couch or on a dining table.

TO-DO LIST

My fourth tip is to have a to-do list of all the things you need to do.

  •  having a written down to do list is really important because sometimes you just forget about tasks and you might end up not doing some of them.
  • having a physical piece of paper saying that you need to do all these things by the end of it this day will help you to keep you on track.

LISTEN TO MUSIC (or not, it depends)

Another thing you can do is actually play some music

  • music helps a lot of people, including me, study more efficiently because it blocks out all the distractions from the outside world and keeps you focused inside your little bubble so you can work on your assignments
  • note that music isn’t always the best thing to listen to while studying especially for classes like history or english but I do really recommend it if you’re doing some math problems because it can be quite relaxing
  • And if you don’t know what to listen to I really recommend checking out my study playlist which is study & chill  {link}
  • study session playlist - instrumental music, piano solos, soundtracks from movies {link}

Now that you have done all these things, You are for sure ready to be productive and focus on finishing all those assignments you need to do. GOOD LUCK!

Before I start, I got the idea to do this masterpost from this

Also, I’d love if you reblogged this or shared it as it would really help :)

Why I think hating on one direction is stupid

1) The main reason everyone hates them is because they’re “gay”.

Oh, my bad, it’s 2013 I forgot everyone’s a homophobe. Pardon me but what the fuck is so wrong about liking the same gender? Why is it that it’s okay for a man to like a woman but not for a man to like a man? There’s no difference. Plus, who said One Direction are gay. Has anyone officially announced it? Did they say it? I didn’t think so, so sit your ass down. Even if they were what’s the big deal, enlighten me please.

2) They have no talent.

Not like they came third on a show looking for the next big talent, no, who would possiblythink that?

And clearly, people beg to differ. Here are some links that will change your mind (See what I did there)

Link 1,Link 2,Link 3,Link 4

3) They don’t care about their fans.

Please

image

image

image

image

image

image

more

image

4) Fame has changed them.

wow

image

much fame

image

so change

image

 5) “They have no fa-”

image

image

image

image

image

image

Moving onto reasons why you should like them. I’m not forcing you to become a directioner, or even a fan. But I just want you to see, if you dislike them, why you shouldn’t. I want you to see these boys for who they are and not whatever media is exposing.

1) They give back to the community.

They’ve support these charities:

-Alzheimer’s Association

-Comic Relief

-Greenpeace

-Mines Advisory Group

-Sport Relief

And they support these causes:

-AIDS & HIV 

-Animals 

-Cancer 

-Children 

-Conservation 

-Disaster Relief 

-Education

-Environment 

-Fair Trade 

-Health

-Homelessness 

-Human Rights 

-Hunger 

-Literacy

-Poverty 

-Weapons Reduction

You know, the times when “Where’s Zayn” jokes were made? Yeah well he was working on an art project to donate to charity. 

The boys doodled and signed their life-sized cardboard cutouts to auction off and all money was sent to charity. (I have a photo but I can’t find it as it’s lost within my 1000 pics of one direction oops)

Liam and Harry worked with Trestock and had an auction for the highest bidder to spend a day with them, all money sent to charity.

Oh, and that some percentage (20? Idk really.) of their funds for the WWA Tour, their third tour and the world wide stadium tour, is going to be donated.

They teamed up with office depot to go against bullying.

image

imageimage

image

image

imageimage

I’m not exactly the fastest fan, or someone who knows every single detail about the boys so I can’t really list these at the top of my head. I’m definitely missing tons.

2) They’re adorable, period.

3) DON’T EVEN DENY THE FACT THAT THEY’RE BASICALLY EYE SEX.

image

image

image

imageimage

image

image

4) The things they tweet…

image

image

image

image

image

image

image

image

image

image

image

image

image

image

5) The relationship they have with each other, I literally can’t. The bromances.

image

image

image

image

image

image

image

image

image

image

imageimage

6) Their personalities <3

7) Their music. The lyrics.

I’m in love with you, and all your little things. But you’re perfect to me. Let me be the one to lift your heart up and save your life, I don’t think you’d even realize baby you’ll be saving mine. You’ve got that one thing. That’s what makes you beautiful. You know I’ll be your life, your voice, your reason to be. It’s everything about you.

8) No matter how big they get, they’ll always be grateful for each other and the fans.

image

image

image

image

image

image

image

image

image

image

9) Do I even want to know what goes on during their concerts.

image

image

image

image

imageimage

image

image

10) One Direction deserve to be where they are. They worked so hard to get here and they’ve come a long way.

image

I don’t care if this is just some regular boy band to you, but to me they are literally my world.

Google Doodle Mid Autumn Festival Master Post. 

Re Captioning wasn’t entirely necessary but I’ve always wanted to use ‘Master Post” and also OMNIBUS…. I’ll have to wait on the latter. Wish me luck on that one though…

Death Stranding Novel Review Master Post

I wanted to record my thoughts and impressions about the book somewhere (as well anything that I think is noteworthy or interesting). I’ll use this post to chain together and separate by chapter. Posts like these I’ll tag as “// Novelization” so it’s easily blockable if anyone doesn’t want to see them (though I will be putting them under a read more.

Fair warning, I tend to be a bit wordy.

First, some general notes:
- The book was written in Japanese first, then translated to English. I’m keeping this in mind while I read since that could mean anything from awkward sentence structure to strange references (translation isn’t exactly a 1 to 1 correlation and all that).

- I noticed that the print is pretty large and spaced out. I admit that I usually read pretty hearty books, though, so this might be more normal for others. I would be surprised if there were even 400 words on a page. The book is 341 pages for reference, not including the index and all that.

- Interestingly, there is a list of characters and some vocab in the front. It includes non-spoilery descriptions of Die-Hardman, Amelie, Bridget, etc. as well as similarly non-spoiler descriptions of BB’s, The Death Stranding, and Bridges. These things are still talked about at length in the book, so I’m wondering why they were included in the beginning.

-It should go without saying that my review will include game & book spoilers. It’ll also probably be rife with my own opinions and interpretations, obviously.

Lucky (2020) Clips (Master Post)

By request, I’m putting the clips of Yasmine in the movie Lucky here. It’s a thing now. While this is Yasmine in a different role, I still see a little Lucy in her. Same when I watch Tori in different things. I see a little bit of Kate. Usually her goofy side. That celebratory cheer she does…

Anyway, I’ll upload the video in three different posts and link them here. I should mention this is a time loop mystery/horror movie. I’m not posting any of the horror though.
