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!
It's...um... 1.40am right now so I'm not studying, but just wanted to say this is such a good thread! I should use it tomorrow, I'm a bit behind in my uni study
Okayy gonna do some more translation and then continue to work on my essay until hm 10:30pm or 11pm
I'm listening to viking music to keep me going 😛
Here's a link for anyone who wants to listen 🙂
This is gonna be me cause I'm not even finished my essay and I'm 1000 words over the limit. Help me
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!
Here's some encouragement from both sides of the spectrum -
Gordon Ramsay.
And Bob Ross
Thanks @Hannah-RO and I agree viking music is such a mood 😛
Okay I'm going to work on my essay for an hour startingggg.... now
not sure where this gif comes from but I feel this
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.. 🤣
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!!
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!!
Okay @Lost_Space_Explorer5 when is todays study session starting?! I'm in DESPERATE need of a kick up the ass today.. literally only just got out of bed!
I'm starting my study sesh now, feel free to join @MB95 and anyone else
I would like to get my essay plan done
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'll pretend to know what going through case studies means just like you pretend to know what the latin stuff means HAHA. I just had dinner so now back to the essay planning
Haha 🤣 Goodluck! I'm finished for the night and starting again early tomorrow! YOU CAN DO IT 💪
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! 💪
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
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
That's awesome @Saltwaterdreamtime !! It's always nice to upskill in things 😊 What are you doing for work?
Annnd... welcome to the library!
Yeees this is awesome! I got my comfy pyjamas and tea and water bottle ready! I'm gonna do some research for a meeting and hopefully finish an assignment today. Promise I'll keep my typing as quiet as possible so I don't disturb anyone
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
I love that gif so much @Saltwaterdreamtime
I also love this thread, there has definitely been a peaceful, scholarly vibe created here and I am delighted by it.
