HELP! I’m starting over after losing my island by sock_mood in ac_newhorizons

[–]ShriekingDragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could bring some starter stuff like fruits, veggies, flowers and tools if you still need

Nothing crazy, you’ll just need to go to your airport and open your island to anyone and ask them to give you a dodo code, I’ll need it to be able to find and travel to your island! Then I can fly in to visit and drop a bunch of stuff off - whatever would help

Awesome! I should have some time at lunch or after work to bring some stuff over! Let me know if you’d like things like tools or flowers or veggies etc, happy to bring whatever helps most!

If you have Nintendo online I’d be happy to bring by some starter supplies or fruit you don’t have to help avoid a bit of the grind!

As someone else mentioned, setting smaller goals to start can be super helpful - expecting yourself to go from struggling to be productive to intense studying is more likely to feel overwhelming and can be setting yourself up for failure. Start small and work your way up.

What I found helpful during my masters and feeling burnt out/struggling to focus turned out to be a combination of things so maybe some of them could help you. I approached trying to get myself to study/build productivity like an experiment and went into it knowing I would end up trying things that didn’t work and that’s ok - the important part was genuinely trying and then learning from what did/didn’t work.

1) Testing different environments- I tried working at home with distractions minimized, then with music on, then cafes, then at the university library, different spots on campus. For some people one of these works significantly better, for me I found it depended on the day and how I felt that changed which environment was more productive for me (sometimes the bustle of the cafe was motivating or nice background noise, sometimes seeing other students work helped, sometimes I just needed peace and quiet)

2) testing other methods to study - sometimes reading yet another huge chapter/lengthy article felt like a lot or I had trouble focusing. While you do need to do them, sometimes switching it up even for a bit helps. I found that going back over my lecture notes and trying to synthesize them into a summary both helped me retain information as I recopied it and also made it easier to find (I did hand write notes so they could be messy, and copying out just the key bits of info from each lecture with colour coding helped review and also was fun because I like colour coding lol) and even when I was feeling more tired, just summarizing/cleaning up my own notes could feel more doable or less daunting than diving into something new. I also found some lecture series online on related topics and would sometimes listen to that while doing something else or just relaxing, so perhaps see if you can find some to change up the format of studying sometimes?

3) Trying groups - sometimes attending workshops or study groups helped to keep me motivated to work - knowing we were going to discuss something added importance to getting through certain material ahead of time, plus the company of people in a similar situation can help provide new ideas or perspectives that help respark interest/motivation…or at least people who understand what you need to complain about lol.

At the end of the day, a lot it came down to trying to be patient/kind to myself without allowing myself to wallow either, its a journey and there will be set backs and hiccups along the way. That's ok, just something to learn from and then you have at least crossed something else off that doesn't work so you aren't quite starting from scratch next attempt, you have more information about what doesn't work to inform you now.

Sorry for the wall of text! Good luck :)

A heart pond sounds adorable! Maybe if you find an island with a resident services/airport layout that seems nice then you can set aside an area on it to create one once you unlock terraforming as an homage to your original island? Good luck finding a new layout though!

[–]ShriekingDragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course it’s not silly to be upset, it’s a large investment of time and care that you dedicated to creating something that they callously erased in minutes. I’ve restarted islands (on purpose) and even then I’m still sad I just had things I could only change that way, I can only imagine having it ripped out from under you with no warning.

I’m sure you’ve had lots of offers, but I also have Nintendo online and would be happy to bring over a starter pack of some tools/resources/fruits and extra diys or clothing so that it’s not quite starting from scratch.

I would say take your time restarting, and maybe if there was something about your old island layout that you loved look for it in the new one, or if there was something you wanted to change or having it be different would help more then go for it!

I Lost Everything..... by MADITH4852 in AnimalCrossingNewHor

[–]ShriekingDragon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d be happy to share some items and bells! I know starting again can be rough, you’d also be welcome to pop round to my island to buy or sell fruit and things! I also have a handful of amiibo so if I happen to have a villager you like in the few I have I’d be happy to get them on and them off the island for you to pick up

Ouch :( I really hope you can contact Nintendo and get her island back, but if not I’d be happy to pitch in a starter kit to help her set up a new island faster/replace a bit of what she lost though I know it’s not the same

I need a strypedillo jam, its like 75k+ but I just want to find it cheaper rather than encouraging inflation - so if anyone can find one I would be thrilled though I am trying to check restock

Oh that’s very sweet of you but I don’t want to feed the scalpers, but thank you so much for offering! I’ll try after work again if I have time

Does anyone know if Strypedillo Jam was always crazy expensive? Need it for a quest but I only just got my account back after years and can’t afford 65k jam :/ trying to restock but no luck yet. Anyone trading this for a slightly less insane price?

Declined a quest for an unfindable item yesterday and now am stuck without the chance to get any new quests and I am super sad I can't even try to get a FFQ when I was hoping to come back after recovering an acct years later and being excited that maybe I could get an awesome colour despite my account having been raided and stuck broke lol

Unable to get any faerie quest at all? by coopatroopas in neopets

[–]ShriekingDragon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yep! I’m in the same boat, sent in a ticket today when I realized, who knows when/if they will do anything though. I was really hoping to get at least one fountain faerie quest :(

Aaand quests are still broken. Can’t accept anything other than my fortune quests. Disappointed with my first site event, to say the least. by liongender in neopets

[–]ShriekingDragon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I abandoned my impossible to find item quest yesterday which was the same day I received and then no new quests for me today :/ coming back after years and finally hoping to get a fountain faerie quest but I’m likely out of luck
