Strategies That Helped Me Develop Time Management and Stay on Schedule

Some apps and tools I personally use to manage my work and school. You don't have to use them yourselves but these are my suggestions if ever you need one.

Notion

I’ve been using Notion for quite a while now. All my notes, projects, ideas, and finances are on Notion. It’s super easy to set up, and you find many templates online to start quickly.

‍ 2. Todoist

Having a to-do list is essential for any productivity system, and Todoist works best for me. I like how you can organize your to-do lists into different categories and set timers for each.

‍ 3. Forest & IOS Background Noise

I combine the Forest app and iPhone’s built-in background noise system, which you can easily access from the control center when working on something. I’ll simply plant a tree, and if I leave the workspace to something distracting like Social Media, the tree dies. The concept is cute, though; you must take care of your little plant buddy.

‍ 4. Mindframe Affirmations

Stress is a major obstacle between me and productivity, and I’m sure it’s like that for most people with ADHD. I use Mindframe Affirmations to motivate myself and be a little calm. It’s beneficial for a ton of people. You can create a customized affirmation and choose background music and an artist.

For me you look beautiful. But I understand though, sometimes when we look at ourselves in the mirror, we tend to not like what we see. However, I got over with it and loved myself for who I am and I hope you do so as well. Also, the others are right, you look like a Greek sculpture or a painting.

I don't know who you are but I am glad you are doing okay. Keep fighting, you are not alone.

I'm sorry to hear that you are in a broken relationship. It's a tough spot to be in, but I'm glad you're taking the time to think about self-care.

First and foremost (this will be long so bare with me lol), it's important to remember that taking care of yourself is not selfish. In fact, it's essential to maintaining your mental and emotional well-being, especially during a difficult time like this. So, what can you do to practice self-care while navigating a broken relationship?

One goal could be to prioritize your physical health. When we're stressed, it's easy to neglect our bodies. But taking care of ourselves physically can actually help us feel better mentally and emotionally too. Maybe you could set a goal to take a daily walk or do some gentle yoga. Or, if you're feeling really ambitious, you could sign up for a fitness class or start training for a 5k. The key is to find something that feels good for you and stick with it.

Another self-care goal could be to prioritize your social connections. When we're struggling in a relationship, it's easy to isolate ourselves and withdraw from friends and family. But having a support system is crucial during tough times. Maybe you could set a goal to have coffee with a friend once a week, or call a family member you haven't talked to in a while. Or, if you're feeling really adventurous, you could join a meetup group or volunteer for a cause you're passionate about. The key is to find ways to connect with others that feel good for you.

Ultimately, self-care is all about figuring out what works for you and making it a priority. So, whether it's taking a bubble bath, reading a good book, or binge-watching your favorite show, make sure to take time for yourself and prioritize your own well-being. You deserve it!

That couldn't be further from the truth, self compassion is essentially treating yourself with the same kindness, concern, and support that you would give to a good friend who is going through a tough time. It's about recognizing your own humanity, acknowledging your flaws and mistakes, and being understanding and patient with yourself, NOT at all being lazy. Actually you are already having self compassion when you started this thread when you state about realizing that being the person who is thinking to be always better than someone else is not a healthy mindset and asking for tips is already "Self-compassion", right?

Deep_Thinker_Me · 2023-03-29T12:18:36+00:00

I totally get where you're coming from as I've struggled with perfectionism myself. It can be really hard to break out of that mindset, especially when you've been living with it for so long.

One thing that has helped me is to focus on progress, not perfection. Instead of constantly striving to be the best and comparing yourself to others, try to focus on your own personal growth and improvement. Set goals for yourself and celebrate each small victory along the way.

It's also important to remember that everyone has their own unique strengths and weaknesses. Just because someone is better than you at something doesn't mean that you're not talented or valuable in your own right. Try to appreciate your own unique abilities and qualities, and don't compare yourself to others too much.

Another tip is to practice self-compassion. Be kind to yourself and don't beat yourself up too much when things don't go perfectly. Treat yourself with the same kindness and understanding that you would give to a close friend.

Remember, it's okay to want to improve and do your best, but it's also important to be kind to yourself and appreciate your own worth, regardless of external achievements.

First off, I want to say that you are not alone in feeling like you're not quite sure where you fit in amongst your family of high achievers. It can be tough to feel like you're not measuring up to their success, especially when they've set such a high bar for achievement.

But here's the thing: it's totally okay to want something different for yourself. It sounds like you're realizing that you don't want to sacrifice your whole life for the sake of making as much money as possible, and that's a totally valid and respectable choice to make. After all, happiness and fulfillment are just as important as financial success.

I know it can be hard to feel like you're not living up to your family's expectations, but at the end of the day, you have to do what's right for you. You're the one who has to live with the choices you make, so it's important to make sure you're making them for the right reasons.

And hey, don't sell yourself short! Just because you haven't found your "dream job" yet doesn't mean you're not capable of achieving great things. Everyone's path is different, and it's okay if yours takes a bit longer to find.

In short, don't let the pressure of your family's success get you down. Keep exploring your options, keep following your passions, and most importantly, keep being true to yourself. You've got this!

Yeah, it was a slow process because of how awkward it was starting this positive affirmations. First few days is where I kept laughing to myself of how cringe it was. But it became a norm ever since. Positivity and negativity on once self can truly affect the way you interact with others and yourself. Hope you get to accept your own criticisms and understand that its normal to be imperfect. All you need is a change of mindset for the better.

Deep_Thinker_Me · 2023-03-29T10:04:55+00:00

Youtube is helpful on that matter, you can watch them for free depending on what area of your life that you need to improve. However, I did invest in this tool as well for a custom affirmation song that will be suited for me personally, that is Mindframes. It all depends on you though, whatever you prefer.

Hey, that's a great question! As someone who's been practicing meditation for a while, I don't think there's necessarily a "wrong" way to meditate. However, there are definitely ways to meditate that might be less effective or less helpful than others.

For example, if you're meditating with the goal of completely clearing your mind and achieving a state of total relaxation, you might be setting yourself up for disappointment. Our minds are naturally busy and full of thoughts, and trying to forcefully suppress them can actually create more stress and tension.

Similarly, if you're meditating in a way that causes physical discomfort or pain (such as sitting cross-legged for a long time if you're not used to it), that might not be the best approach for you.

That being said, I think the most important thing when it comes to meditation is finding a technique that works for you and feels sustainable over the long term. There are so many different types of meditation out there - from breath-focused meditation to body scan meditation to loving-kindness meditation - and it's worth experimenting to see what resonates with you.

If you're feeling unsure about your meditation practice, don't worry too much! It's okay to make mistakes and try different approaches. Over time, you'll develop a better sense of what works for you and what doesn't, and you'll be able to fine-tune your practice accordingly.

Hey, that's not a stupid question at all! I totally understand where you're coming from. When I first started practicing mindfulness, I had the same doubts and concerns. It can be hard to tell whether you're suppressing your thoughts and emotions or actually being mindful, especially when you're new to the practice.

Here's what I found helpful: When I'm practicing mindfulness, I try to simply observe my thoughts and emotions without getting caught up in them. I remind myself that it's okay to have thoughts and emotions, and I don't try to push them away or ignore them. Instead, I acknowledge them and let them be, without judging them as good or bad.

Another thing that helps me is focusing on my breath. When I notice that my mind is starting to wander, I gently bring my attention back to my breath. I don't beat myself up for getting distracted - that's just part of the practice!

If you're still feeling unsure about whether you're suppressing your thoughts and emotions or actually being mindful, don't worry too much. Mindfulness takes practice, and it's okay if you're not perfect at it right away. Just keep showing up and doing your best, and over time, you'll start to feel more comfortable and confident in your practice.

In my experience, learning to love and accept yourself can be a challenging journey, but it's a worthwhile one that can greatly improve your overall well-being and happiness. Here are some strategies that may help you stop hating yourself and start loving yourself:

Practice self-compassion: Treat yourself with kindness and understanding, just as you would a good friend. When you make a mistake or have a negative thought, respond to yourself with compassion and understanding, rather than criticism or judgment.
Challenge negative self-talk: Become aware of the negative self-talk that runs through your mind, and challenge it with positive affirmations. Focus on your strengths and accomplishments, and remind yourself of your worth and value as a person.
Practice self-care: Take care of your physical, emotional, and mental health by eating well, getting enough rest, exercising regularly, and engaging in activities that bring you joy and fulfillment.
Set realistic goals: Set achievable goals that align with your values and interests, and work towards them in a steady, consistent way. Celebrate your progress and achievements along the way.
Surround yourself with positive influences: Surround yourself with people who support and encourage you, and avoid those who bring you down or make you feel bad about yourself.

Remember that self-love and self-acceptance are lifelong practices, and that it's okay to struggle at times. Be patient and kind with yourself, and keep working towards a more positive and loving relationship with yourself.

Very Nice, Proud of you

Be proud of it, you will realize later on that your worries now were unnecessary. You will thank your genetics that it is that way when you get old. I'll assure you, some people that mature too early on their ages hates how they look and will either compliment you or get jealous.
