Let's study together! The ReachOut 'Library'?

Hey everyone! So one of our very own forum members (thanks @MB95 :D) brought up this as an idea and I think it would be a waste not to at least give it a try!

 

A lot of us are stuck at home studying because of covid and some people find it helpful to *virtually* study together. Why not give this a try on ReachOut? 😛 You gotta use your imagination a bit..

WELCOME TO THE REACHOUT LIBRARY 🙂

*shh* people are studying!

Why not tell us what task you're working on at the moment and for how long?

 

If you need a break, why not join the study break thread?

 

Once you've finished your study session, tell us what you got done and we'll *silently* cheer for you 😛

 

If you like the idea of the 'pomodoro' technique, why not try following it with a youtube video, like this one!

Wow @Lost_Space_Explorer5 this Viking music is such a MOOOOOOD such ominous vibes. I am playing dungeons and dragons tomorrow and I am going to suggest this playlist for setting the scene.

 

That Kevin scene in the office is so silly and good. Hope your essay is going well! We believe in you! Heart 

Here's some encouragement from both sides of the spectrum -

I LOVE THAT YOU MADE THIS INTO A THREAD! 😍

 

Hopefully it will help some of us keep on track and hold eachother accountable to stay motivated in a supportive way! 

 

Welldone @Lost_Space_Explorer5 for getting the research done, you should be VERY proud of yourself as I know it hasn't been an easy time for you so I hope you're treating yourself during break times! I also think it's amazing you've recognized what your attention span is like atm and are going with it to make it work as best as you can! Seriously. YOU GO GIRL!!! 

 

How's the essay plan coming along? 

 

I am having a break tonight but tomorrow I'll be studying for my final exam! 

 

Also love the youtube link you attached, how awesome?! It legit stops playing music when you should get up and stretch your legs! WOW! 

 

.. okay.. no more shouting, I just forgot I was in the library, sorry guys.. 🤣

Lost_Space_Explorer5Posted 14-11-2020 10:38 PM

Shhh, it's a library @MB95! There's a break room over there and a games room over there

 

Yes, I thrive on accountability! What about you? Thank you 🙂 Yup, I can work with 10 mins 😛 No shouting in the library!

 

I've written my own thoughts on the question and have my research now I gotta merge them into a plan. Yeah it is a neat video!

 

Maybe we can do a 'group study session' tomorrow!

 

yes shhh it's a library!!

MB95Posted 14-11-2020 11:07 PM

I'm the same with accountability @Lost_Space_Explorer5! I work so much harder in group assignments then individual ones! To the point where I give everyone the impression that I'm someone who has my shit together and is always on top of assessments which couldn't be further from the truth! �

 

10min is good! Do ya reckon you could make it a challenge to try and up it a bit tomorrow? No pressure at all, but I know you can do it. 

 

I reckon you should try get a good sleep in and start the plan with a fresh mind tomorrow? 

 

I'm keen for a study sesh!! LETS DO IT!!

How's the study plan coming along @Lost_Space_Explorer5 ? 

 

I managed to get myself into uni with two friends from my course and we worked through some case studies together which was cool! Not sure it would have been a productive day otherwise 😂

I too have finished for the night haha.. I've got quizzes due tomorrow for stats lecture content I haven't even watched but I'll do them tomorrow. I've basically finished an essay plan, although it's not perfect but tomorrow I'll start writing. Let's hope special cons goes through or I'm gonna get like 5 days late penalty by the time I finish lol..

Haha I LOVE the pic @Janine-RO! I've defs been hanging out a bit in Napland and Online Shopping Cove lately 😂

 

That's amazing that you got the plan done @Lost_Space_Explorer5 - awesome work!! How did the quizzes go? 

 

I just have my exam to complete tomorrow and I'm all done! 💪

 
 
 
 
 
Lost_Space_Explorer5
Lost_Space_Explorer5Posted 16-11-2020 08:55 PM
I just finished the quizzes (had to watch the lectures at 2x speed before getting them in 😞 ) I need to at least get SOME of my essay done tonight, what's an achievable goal? 500 words? The whole thing is 2000 😞

I've been hanging out in the coffee lake break a lot today- I've had three coffees.... ..haha @Janine-RO

Ooh! GOOD LUCK @MB95! What are you gonna be doing tonight to calm those nerves
 
 
 
 
 
MB95
MB95Posted 16-11-2020 09:46 PM

At least you got them in, that's the main thing! I hope you're allowing yourself to take a rest break for a bit before starting the essay! 

 

Hmm.. 500 could be good but it also depends how you're going atm and how tired you are from the quizzes! Sometimes I struggle to even get 200 words on a page when I'm exhausted! So maybe aim for 500 but don't expect it and allow yourself to still feel happy if you only make 200? You don't wanna be over doing it when you're doing so well!!

 

Also.. this is a library remember so no off study chit chat.. I'll meet you in the break room when you have your next study break @Lost_Space_Explorer5 and we can have a coffee together 😂

This thread is awesome!! 

Well, I’m not studying, but I am currently doing a short course to upskill myself with work and requires some reading and some of those pesky online activities. So I’m going to do some of that now. 

what a great idea

Thanks @Lost_Space_Explorer5  I like learning I’m just not very good at it haha. Short courses are much more up my alley. My partner has completed her Masters and that hurts my brain to think about. This is me whenever anyone asks me if I would go back to study...

. I did a 4 year apprenticeship and went to TAFE once a week and that was like ripping my eye balls out. Anyone on ReachOut during that time would probably know all about it 😂

 

 

I will wear my headphones in the library so other people don’t get annoyed haha
