00:00:00.280 --> 00:00:03.839
<v Speaker 1>Hello everyone. You're probably wondering, why did I not just

2
00:00:03.879 --> 00:00:08.359
<v Speaker 1>hear it? Little school bell? Where's Kate, Where's Emma?

3
00:00:08.519 --> 00:00:09.800
<v Speaker 2>Well, sorry to break it to you.

4
00:00:10.560 --> 00:00:13.519
<v Speaker 1>They have graduated college, but we have just started and

5
00:00:13.560 --> 00:00:15.720
<v Speaker 1>we are here to bring you along with us on

6
00:00:15.759 --> 00:00:19.519
<v Speaker 1>our journey, along with all of our dilemmas. I'm Svetlana

7
00:00:19.640 --> 00:00:22.559
<v Speaker 1>and I'm Lana, and we are both freshmen at cal

8
00:00:22.640 --> 00:00:26.640
<v Speaker 1>Poly San Luis Obispo. Yeah, yep, I'm a communications major.

9
00:00:26.800 --> 00:00:29.359
<v Speaker 1>I am from the Bay Area.

10
00:00:28.480 --> 00:00:33.200
<v Speaker 2>And I am from the LA Area, South Bay originally

11
00:00:33.200 --> 00:00:36.119
<v Speaker 2>from Chicago, but ever since I moved to LA I

12
00:00:36.119 --> 00:00:37.799
<v Speaker 2>feel like I've just been immersed with all of the

13
00:00:37.840 --> 00:00:43.280
<v Speaker 2>Hollywood culture, yeah, entertainment, business, and industry, which is kind

14
00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:46.560
<v Speaker 2>of why we decided to take this role as podcast hosts.

15
00:00:46.600 --> 00:00:48.679
<v Speaker 1>We actually met in one of our comms, one oh

16
00:00:48.719 --> 00:00:49.320
<v Speaker 1>one classes.

17
00:00:49.479 --> 00:00:52.560
<v Speaker 2>Yes, we did, far far back in fall quarter.

18
00:00:52.520 --> 00:00:55.479
<v Speaker 1>Far far back, and we we met because we were

19
00:00:55.479 --> 00:00:58.560
<v Speaker 1>working on a podcast together for our final project for

20
00:00:58.600 --> 00:01:04.239
<v Speaker 1>the class. Oh. We are currently at Linea's Beautiful Cafe

21
00:01:04.879 --> 00:01:10.079
<v Speaker 1>in San Luis Obispo downtown Slow. So today's episode we're

22
00:01:10.120 --> 00:01:13.840
<v Speaker 1>going to be discussing the productivity paradox and What I

23
00:01:13.920 --> 00:01:18.519
<v Speaker 1>mean by that is how one is able to stay

24
00:01:18.519 --> 00:01:22.920
<v Speaker 1>productive with their school work. We're talking specifically about college

25
00:01:22.920 --> 00:01:28.439
<v Speaker 1>students university students. What toxic productivity looks like. Yeah, just

26
00:01:28.519 --> 00:01:31.079
<v Speaker 1>kind of all of the struggles involved with productivity.

27
00:01:31.200 --> 00:01:33.719
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and especially since it's spring quarter, I know, we

28
00:01:33.799 --> 00:01:37.159
<v Speaker 2>only have a couple months left of the school year,

29
00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:41.359
<v Speaker 2>but people may be experiencing burnout or the seniors have

30
00:01:41.519 --> 00:01:45.239
<v Speaker 2>their senioritis. But just hold in there. We're only sixty

31
00:01:45.319 --> 00:01:47.799
<v Speaker 2>days away from the end, and we're gonna share some

32
00:01:47.799 --> 00:01:51.239
<v Speaker 2>tips and tricks on how to stay locked in and motivated.

33
00:01:51.400 --> 00:02:02.439
<v Speaker 1>Locked in in, all right, And it's definitely a lot

34
00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:05.920
<v Speaker 1>to just be a full time student, and especially in

35
00:02:05.959 --> 00:02:08.000
<v Speaker 1>the stage of like being a freshman, it's a lot

36
00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:11.639
<v Speaker 1>to kind of like maintain your relationships at home, be

37
00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:15.159
<v Speaker 1>a student, keep up with your academics, maintain a social

38
00:02:15.199 --> 00:02:19.759
<v Speaker 1>life at your school, like, keep in contact with your family. Yeah,

39
00:02:19.840 --> 00:02:22.680
<v Speaker 1>work on like whatever internships you may be working on. Like,

40
00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:25.960
<v Speaker 1>it's just kind of a lot like to comprehend like

41
00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:28.840
<v Speaker 1>the stage of your life. Like I think I am

42
00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:31.639
<v Speaker 1>someone who is a bit of like a chronic overthinker,

43
00:02:32.280 --> 00:02:35.560
<v Speaker 1>So I tend to like overthink, like all of my

44
00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:38.840
<v Speaker 1>responsibilities and me too. Yeah.

45
00:02:39.240 --> 00:02:43.039
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I remember during orientation one of the guys said, like,

46
00:02:43.599 --> 00:02:46.039
<v Speaker 2>don't settle for just one friend, like try to expand

47
00:02:46.039 --> 00:02:48.199
<v Speaker 2>your friend group like throughout the year, like keep meeting

48
00:02:48.240 --> 00:02:51.319
<v Speaker 2>people and such. But you realize it's actually a lot

49
00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:54.280
<v Speaker 2>harder than it looks like once you've solidified, like you

50
00:02:54.439 --> 00:02:57.439
<v Speaker 2>kind of meet more people. M h. I think that's

51
00:02:57.520 --> 00:02:58.199
<v Speaker 2>one struggle.

52
00:02:58.439 --> 00:03:00.719
<v Speaker 1>I think, like in the beginning of the school year,

53
00:03:00.960 --> 00:03:03.599
<v Speaker 1>like I feel like I was really overwhelmed because like

54
00:03:03.639 --> 00:03:06.479
<v Speaker 1>the first week, it already seemed like everyone like there

55
00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:08.919
<v Speaker 1>was literally friend groups already, and I was like, I

56
00:03:09.240 --> 00:03:11.639
<v Speaker 1>don't know anyone. We've been here literally a week, Like

57
00:03:11.800 --> 00:03:13.680
<v Speaker 1>how was how are you do you have a well

58
00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:15.080
<v Speaker 1>established friend group?

59
00:03:15.639 --> 00:03:15.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

60
00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:19.199
<v Speaker 1>Anyways, I think, yeah, overthinking in general has just been

61
00:03:19.240 --> 00:03:22.159
<v Speaker 1>a struggle for me in regards to like procrastination of

62
00:03:22.199 --> 00:03:25.800
<v Speaker 1>my assignments and and you know, doing things just for

63
00:03:25.919 --> 00:03:28.879
<v Speaker 1>myself like going to the gym, my meals, like all

64
00:03:28.919 --> 00:03:30.879
<v Speaker 1>of those things. I feel like I kind of struggle

65
00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:34.439
<v Speaker 1>with keeping a schedule for myself. I think before coming

66
00:03:34.439 --> 00:03:37.919
<v Speaker 1>to college, I honestly had like a weirdly sat schedule,

67
00:03:37.960 --> 00:03:40.120
<v Speaker 1>like with high school because you have, like you're given

68
00:03:40.159 --> 00:03:41.360
<v Speaker 1>a time to eat lunch.

69
00:03:41.280 --> 00:03:43.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and like you have to wake up at eight

70
00:03:43.719 --> 00:03:45.159
<v Speaker 2>am nine am every day.

71
00:03:45.280 --> 00:03:47.199
<v Speaker 1>You're done with school at a certain time every day,

72
00:03:47.240 --> 00:03:49.599
<v Speaker 1>and then you can do whatever you normally do after

73
00:03:49.800 --> 00:03:50.360
<v Speaker 1>your sports.

74
00:03:50.479 --> 00:03:52.319
<v Speaker 2>And now we come to college and we're like on

75
00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:56.000
<v Speaker 2>the brick of adulthood and you make your own Like we're.

76
00:03:55.840 --> 00:03:58.919
<v Speaker 1>Telling you go eat your food. No one's telling you

77
00:03:58.919 --> 00:03:59.919
<v Speaker 1>go to your class.

78
00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:01.319
<v Speaker 2>No, none of that exactly.

79
00:04:01.400 --> 00:04:04.319
<v Speaker 1>And it seems pretty self explanatory and like it would

80
00:04:04.319 --> 00:04:07.199
<v Speaker 1>be kind of easy to navigate because it's so self explanatory.

81
00:04:07.360 --> 00:04:08.759
<v Speaker 1>But then you get there and you're like.

82
00:04:09.719 --> 00:04:11.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I know. That's especially. One of the things I

83
00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:16.360
<v Speaker 2>struggle with is waking up on time. Like I've this quarter,

84
00:04:16.519 --> 00:04:19.920
<v Speaker 2>I've deliberately signed up for classes that don't start until

85
00:04:20.519 --> 00:04:23.319
<v Speaker 2>twelve in the afternoon because I know I can't count

86
00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:26.120
<v Speaker 2>on myself to wake up at eight am or nine am.

87
00:04:26.360 --> 00:04:28.360
<v Speaker 1>I think, like a little life hack for waking up

88
00:04:28.360 --> 00:04:31.839
<v Speaker 1>early is like waking a funny alarm sound, Like for

89
00:04:31.959 --> 00:04:33.879
<v Speaker 1>a whole minute, I had an alarm that was like.

90
00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:43.519
<v Speaker 2>West up because it's time to smoll shit.

91
00:04:43.720 --> 00:04:49.240
<v Speaker 1>So like that was my alarm for like a.

92
00:04:47.639 --> 00:04:51.360
<v Speaker 2>You will not believe what my roommate's alarm is. I've

93
00:04:51.839 --> 00:04:54.040
<v Speaker 2>only seen these in movies or like as a joke,

94
00:04:54.120 --> 00:04:58.680
<v Speaker 2>but it's like death metal, like really hard rock every

95
00:04:58.720 --> 00:05:00.600
<v Speaker 2>morning at six and in the morning. Ago.

96
00:05:00.759 --> 00:05:04.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah no, because at this point, like I can't have

97
00:05:04.279 --> 00:05:07.879
<v Speaker 1>my alarm as like the regular iPhone like ringer, because

98
00:05:07.879 --> 00:05:10.720
<v Speaker 1>that sum literally gives me anxiety, Like it literally does,

99
00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:12.480
<v Speaker 1>like if I'm just chilling, like if I hear like

100
00:05:12.519 --> 00:05:14.959
<v Speaker 1>a phone call, Like I don't know, like at this

101
00:05:15.279 --> 00:05:17.000
<v Speaker 1>I just it's a lot for me he having a

102
00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:19.279
<v Speaker 1>phone call or hearing an alarm. It's quite a bit.

103
00:05:19.600 --> 00:05:22.519
<v Speaker 1>I think. Another thing that is is a big struggle

104
00:05:22.519 --> 00:05:26.600
<v Speaker 1>when you get to college is like not doom scrolling.

105
00:05:26.199 --> 00:05:27.959
<v Speaker 2>Because you're scrolling is dangerous.

106
00:05:28.120 --> 00:05:30.839
<v Speaker 1>I think we were talking about this earlier, Like if

107
00:05:30.839 --> 00:05:33.160
<v Speaker 1>you have a busy day of classes, like if I

108
00:05:33.199 --> 00:05:36.079
<v Speaker 1>have like like classes from eight am in the day

109
00:05:36.120 --> 00:05:38.279
<v Speaker 1>to like six or eight pm in the day, Like

110
00:05:38.399 --> 00:05:41.160
<v Speaker 1>what gets me through that is like looking forward to

111
00:05:41.319 --> 00:05:43.360
<v Speaker 1>just chilling on my bed on my phone.

112
00:05:43.480 --> 00:05:45.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it can be a reward, but it could also

113
00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:50.040
<v Speaker 2>be very detrimental, like you get stuck on there for hours.

114
00:05:50.079 --> 00:05:53.240
<v Speaker 1>It's no and I think that's that's exactly why it's

115
00:05:53.240 --> 00:05:57.439
<v Speaker 1>like one of those really big issues with productivity, because

116
00:05:57.920 --> 00:06:01.040
<v Speaker 1>scrolling on your phone, it's so so easy to lose

117
00:06:01.079 --> 00:06:01.639
<v Speaker 1>track of time.

118
00:06:01.959 --> 00:06:04.199
<v Speaker 2>Yes, all the brain rot my Instagram reels right now

119
00:06:04.279 --> 00:06:08.199
<v Speaker 2>is full of Minecraft brain rot. Yeah, Minecraft movies. Have

120
00:06:08.199 --> 00:06:10.959
<v Speaker 2>you seen the microft Chicken Jockie? I haven't yet. I should,

121
00:06:11.600 --> 00:06:12.680
<v Speaker 2>I'm a big Minecraft fan.

122
00:06:12.839 --> 00:06:13.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

123
00:06:13.439 --> 00:06:17.639
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. And then another big thing is distractions and temptations.

124
00:06:18.439 --> 00:06:22.480
<v Speaker 2>I have a really funny story. So you know, you

125
00:06:22.560 --> 00:06:24.920
<v Speaker 2>come into college and of course there's like a very

126
00:06:25.120 --> 00:06:28.160
<v Speaker 2>big party scene, like you can choose that life or not.

127
00:06:28.199 --> 00:06:30.439
<v Speaker 2>But a lot of girls on my floor will all

128
00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:33.800
<v Speaker 2>collectively decide to go and like get ready, and I'll

129
00:06:33.839 --> 00:06:37.199
<v Speaker 2>have an assignment due that night at midnight, and my

130
00:06:37.279 --> 00:06:39.480
<v Speaker 2>friend will be like, no, it's fine, you can. We'll

131
00:06:39.519 --> 00:06:42.920
<v Speaker 2>bring our computers to the frat and you can do it.

132
00:06:43.279 --> 00:06:47.279
<v Speaker 2>You can do your assignment at the frat. And it

133
00:06:47.319 --> 00:06:50.680
<v Speaker 2>has been something. But I've I've been i've felt strong,

134
00:06:50.839 --> 00:06:55.720
<v Speaker 2>I've refused, I've gone our our assignment's done right before

135
00:06:55.759 --> 00:06:58.000
<v Speaker 2>we went out. But the fact that that was even

136
00:06:58.000 --> 00:07:00.959
<v Speaker 2>an option was just Hi, Larry, you an option? Yeah,

137
00:07:01.040 --> 00:07:04.680
<v Speaker 2>working just around like count Polly culture and like party culture,

138
00:07:05.759 --> 00:07:09.560
<v Speaker 2>you really have to like evaluate your values.

139
00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:13.839
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, learn how to prioritize, prioritize yourself. And that's kind

140
00:07:13.879 --> 00:07:16.480
<v Speaker 1>of what we're gonna be talking about next, is kind

141
00:07:16.519 --> 00:07:20.120
<v Speaker 1>of what works for us. Fall quarter, I took four

142
00:07:20.199 --> 00:07:23.319
<v Speaker 1>eight ams and then I had classed until six pm

143
00:07:23.439 --> 00:07:27.560
<v Speaker 1>pretty much every day, and so yeah, over summer though,

144
00:07:27.600 --> 00:07:30.519
<v Speaker 1>I was like, dude, I don't even care what everyone says.

145
00:07:30.519 --> 00:07:33.560
<v Speaker 1>Like I got multiple people, I advice for multiple people

146
00:07:33.600 --> 00:07:36.000
<v Speaker 1>telling me, don't take eight ams. You think you're going

147
00:07:36.079 --> 00:07:37.800
<v Speaker 1>to be able to do it and be capable and

148
00:07:37.920 --> 00:07:39.600
<v Speaker 1>whatever because you did it in high school. But for

149
00:07:39.639 --> 00:07:41.800
<v Speaker 1>some reason in college it's so hard to wake up

150
00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:45.480
<v Speaker 1>before nine am, And I thought that was a myth.

151
00:07:45.519 --> 00:07:49.199
<v Speaker 1>But it's definitely not. For some people though, that's it works,

152
00:07:49.279 --> 00:07:51.639
<v Speaker 1>But for majority, I would say, does not.

153
00:07:52.199 --> 00:07:55.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah no, so yeah, but the alarm alarm clock sound

154
00:07:55.360 --> 00:07:56.839
<v Speaker 2>sounds like a good solution.

155
00:07:56.800 --> 00:07:59.920
<v Speaker 1>To that, Like maybe, but I mean, what are other

156
00:08:00.279 --> 00:08:03.399
<v Speaker 1>I think? Switching my schedule like genuinely worked a lot

157
00:08:03.399 --> 00:08:03.680
<v Speaker 1>for me.

158
00:08:03.800 --> 00:08:06.600
<v Speaker 2>Like me too, I'm way happier this year than I

159
00:08:06.759 --> 00:08:08.920
<v Speaker 2>was waking up at eight am nine am. I had

160
00:08:08.920 --> 00:08:12.720
<v Speaker 2>a public speaking class at eight am, and everyone would

161
00:08:12.720 --> 00:08:15.319
<v Speaker 2>just drove up to the class like a zombie, like

162
00:08:15.360 --> 00:08:18.279
<v Speaker 2>they weren't even awake and they weren't ready to speak

163
00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:21.120
<v Speaker 2>in front of everyone. But now that I changed it,

164
00:08:21.360 --> 00:08:23.360
<v Speaker 2>my life has been a lot more easier, for sure.

165
00:08:23.399 --> 00:08:27.399
<v Speaker 2>But do you have any other solutions to being productive?

166
00:08:27.560 --> 00:08:33.240
<v Speaker 1>So what has also genuinely really helped me is like romanticizing,

167
00:08:33.960 --> 00:08:37.519
<v Speaker 1>romanticizing all of the things I do. Like, this cafe

168
00:08:38.000 --> 00:08:42.279
<v Speaker 1>is absolutely beautiful, and I see people here who probably

169
00:08:42.279 --> 00:08:44.440
<v Speaker 1>go to Cap Holli or one of the local community

170
00:08:44.440 --> 00:08:48.840
<v Speaker 1>colleges studying with their cute outfits on with their little

171
00:08:48.919 --> 00:08:54.519
<v Speaker 1>macha or their little iced latte and their little carrot cakes.

172
00:08:54.960 --> 00:08:57.679
<v Speaker 1>And honestly, that is exactly the way to do it.

173
00:08:57.720 --> 00:09:00.679
<v Speaker 1>Because if you're sitting in your dorm like the place

174
00:09:00.720 --> 00:09:02.919
<v Speaker 1>you sleep and like just chill, like you want that

175
00:09:03.039 --> 00:09:05.639
<v Speaker 1>environment to be your chill safe space, and then you're like, yes,

176
00:09:05.679 --> 00:09:08.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna work on this five page essay and get

177
00:09:08.480 --> 00:09:11.440
<v Speaker 1>it done in my same dorm that I chill and

178
00:09:11.480 --> 00:09:16.440
<v Speaker 1>doom scroll in. It's I mean again, sometimes that can

179
00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:18.759
<v Speaker 1>work for some people, but like, if you really want

180
00:09:18.759 --> 00:09:22.440
<v Speaker 1>to find ways to get yourself motivated, like explore your

181
00:09:22.519 --> 00:09:24.159
<v Speaker 1>local community, change your.

182
00:09:24.200 --> 00:09:28.320
<v Speaker 2>Environment, shop, change your environment environment for sure. Definitely just

183
00:09:28.440 --> 00:09:31.440
<v Speaker 2>romanticize your life a little thing you can if you

184
00:09:32.200 --> 00:09:34.919
<v Speaker 2>can motivate yourself enough to simply, like when you start

185
00:09:34.960 --> 00:09:37.759
<v Speaker 2>your day, put a cute outfit on, get ready, maybe

186
00:09:37.759 --> 00:09:38.639
<v Speaker 2>do a little.

187
00:09:38.440 --> 00:09:42.679
<v Speaker 1>Something something little care to coffee, Yes, bro, get a

188
00:09:42.720 --> 00:09:43.960
<v Speaker 1>little macha.

189
00:09:44.960 --> 00:09:47.000
<v Speaker 2>Will brighten up your day and make you just a

190
00:09:47.759 --> 00:09:50.519
<v Speaker 2>bit happier. I think another thing for me, especially because

191
00:09:50.519 --> 00:09:55.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm a musician, is just music, like setting the mood

192
00:09:55.320 --> 00:09:57.679
<v Speaker 2>and waking up and listening to your favorite kind of music.

193
00:09:58.360 --> 00:10:01.360
<v Speaker 2>I can really just change the way you see things.

194
00:10:01.759 --> 00:10:03.600
<v Speaker 2>I think something that works for me if you get

195
00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:07.399
<v Speaker 2>distracted by like songs with lyrics or like pop songs

196
00:10:07.440 --> 00:10:10.080
<v Speaker 2>a lot, I listen to like low fi beats or

197
00:10:10.159 --> 00:10:14.120
<v Speaker 2>like classical music. It like doesn't like distract you from

198
00:10:14.120 --> 00:10:16.679
<v Speaker 2>what you're reading, like especially if you're doing reading, but

199
00:10:16.919 --> 00:10:17.919
<v Speaker 2>it like puts you in the.

200
00:10:17.960 --> 00:10:21.159
<v Speaker 1>Zone and it like yeah, in all honesty, I do

201
00:10:21.279 --> 00:10:22.879
<v Speaker 1>listen to classical music at the gym.

202
00:10:23.039 --> 00:10:27.399
<v Speaker 2>At the gym interesting, I try it out. And then

203
00:10:27.399 --> 00:10:30.360
<v Speaker 2>another thing is to do lists and calendars. Those are

204
00:10:30.759 --> 00:10:34.039
<v Speaker 2>crucial to do lists in college. I think one that

205
00:10:34.080 --> 00:10:37.840
<v Speaker 2>really works for me is the app notion. It's kind

206
00:10:37.879 --> 00:10:40.519
<v Speaker 2>of like customizable to your own aesthetic, and you can

207
00:10:40.559 --> 00:10:43.159
<v Speaker 2>put all of your assignments just like a calendar, but

208
00:10:43.519 --> 00:10:48.080
<v Speaker 2>just check them off every time you finish. It's just

209
00:10:48.159 --> 00:10:50.840
<v Speaker 2>it's very acazing to see I think you cross it off.

210
00:10:50.919 --> 00:10:55.519
<v Speaker 1>There's like, definitely I think there's a a range of

211
00:10:56.000 --> 00:10:57.879
<v Speaker 1>tasks you can add on your to do list because

212
00:10:57.919 --> 00:11:00.840
<v Speaker 1>I've like seen some girls in college or just like

213
00:11:00.840 --> 00:11:03.440
<v Speaker 1>people in college, you have like they'll like wake up,

214
00:11:03.759 --> 00:11:07.120
<v Speaker 1>drink one cup of water, go brush my teeth, shower,

215
00:11:07.240 --> 00:11:09.240
<v Speaker 1>like and that's there. That's the to do list that

216
00:11:09.279 --> 00:11:12.080
<v Speaker 1>works for them is like every single kind of their day,

217
00:11:12.120 --> 00:11:17.120
<v Speaker 1>every hour is planned, and that's that's an effective motivational,

218
00:11:17.519 --> 00:11:19.799
<v Speaker 1>like I don't know process for them. But then there's

219
00:11:19.840 --> 00:11:22.039
<v Speaker 1>also like you definitely don't have to be that like

220
00:11:22.879 --> 00:11:25.559
<v Speaker 1>that that nitpicky about like all of your tasks. You

221
00:11:25.559 --> 00:11:27.840
<v Speaker 1>can totally just add maybe your assignments for the day.

222
00:11:27.919 --> 00:11:29.559
<v Speaker 1>This is like personally what I do. I add all

223
00:11:29.559 --> 00:11:31.399
<v Speaker 1>my assignments for the day, and then like things that

224
00:11:31.480 --> 00:11:33.519
<v Speaker 1>I generally know I want to get done, Like I'll

225
00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:36.799
<v Speaker 1>add gym, I'll add like read, I'll add I don't

226
00:11:36.799 --> 00:11:38.519
<v Speaker 1>know if I'm like, if I have an event like

227
00:11:38.600 --> 00:11:40.960
<v Speaker 1>a little I don't know, a little function a little

228
00:11:41.919 --> 00:11:43.759
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's it's so like something you can you

229
00:11:43.799 --> 00:11:45.360
<v Speaker 1>know you're doing that day, like something you can put

230
00:11:45.360 --> 00:11:47.320
<v Speaker 1>on your to do list and then whenever you do

231
00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:50.279
<v Speaker 1>the Like, I think it's a good thing to have

232
00:11:50.320 --> 00:11:52.600
<v Speaker 1>a realistic to do list set so that you can

233
00:11:52.679 --> 00:11:55.159
<v Speaker 1>check every box off of the day that you have

234
00:11:55.200 --> 00:11:58.519
<v Speaker 1>that to do list, because like, if you have unchecked

235
00:11:58.519 --> 00:11:59.879
<v Speaker 1>boxes at the end of the day, that kind of

236
00:12:00.159 --> 00:12:02.440
<v Speaker 1>will leave you with the feeling of unproductive.

237
00:12:02.440 --> 00:12:04.879
<v Speaker 2>You'll get that guilt. Yeah, like, oh I could have

238
00:12:05.000 --> 00:12:08.879
<v Speaker 2>done it earlier, but now I have to take other

239
00:12:08.960 --> 00:12:10.960
<v Speaker 2>things out of my day to this.

240
00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:16.519
<v Speaker 1>So I think setting like realistic goals and building realistic

241
00:12:16.559 --> 00:12:20.679
<v Speaker 1>habits for yourself overload yourself with things. I think it's

242
00:12:20.720 --> 00:12:24.159
<v Speaker 1>totally important to show yourself a lot of grace in

243
00:12:24.200 --> 00:12:28.759
<v Speaker 1>this period of your life, just because it's like, honestly

244
00:12:28.759 --> 00:12:32.480
<v Speaker 1>one of the biggest transitional stages of your life probably

245
00:12:32.720 --> 00:12:37.679
<v Speaker 1>and definitely Yeah, you're you're learning habits that you will

246
00:12:37.720 --> 00:12:39.919
<v Speaker 1>hopefully be able to carry with you for the rest

247
00:12:39.960 --> 00:12:42.279
<v Speaker 1>of your life, and habits that don't work for you,

248
00:12:42.360 --> 00:12:48.000
<v Speaker 1>like eight am toxic productivity. So do you feel guilts

249
00:12:48.039 --> 00:12:51.600
<v Speaker 1>around not doing enough? And how do you handle this guilt?

250
00:12:52.320 --> 00:12:55.399
<v Speaker 2>Definitely? I mean every time the weekend comes around, I'll

251
00:12:55.919 --> 00:12:59.879
<v Speaker 2>take like the time just to watch movies and relax,

252
00:13:00.120 --> 00:13:02.360
<v Speaker 2>and I have things in the back of my mind

253
00:13:02.399 --> 00:13:04.799
<v Speaker 2>that I need to do. When I do procrastinate and

254
00:13:04.840 --> 00:13:07.559
<v Speaker 2>I don't do my reading, I feel just very guilty,

255
00:13:07.639 --> 00:13:09.279
<v Speaker 2>like what if I had done that.

256
00:13:09.720 --> 00:13:13.600
<v Speaker 1>College. It's one of those times where you are like

257
00:13:13.759 --> 00:13:17.960
<v Speaker 1>able to find yourself so much and like I don't know,

258
00:13:18.080 --> 00:13:20.720
<v Speaker 1>just like learn what really really works for you.

259
00:13:21.200 --> 00:13:23.919
<v Speaker 2>We're still very young. We have like our whole lives

260
00:13:23.919 --> 00:13:27.399
<v Speaker 2>ahead of us, especially since we're sitting here like as freshmen.

261
00:13:27.559 --> 00:13:32.360
<v Speaker 2>Like we're not saying we know everything, but we are

262
00:13:32.840 --> 00:13:36.759
<v Speaker 2>trying our best just to navigate navigate life.

263
00:13:36.840 --> 00:13:40.879
<v Speaker 1>I honestly felt a great deal of imposter syndrome coming here.

264
00:13:41.399 --> 00:13:44.799
<v Speaker 2>I was waitlisted and I got in like the last round,

265
00:13:45.159 --> 00:13:47.840
<v Speaker 2>and so they put me in like a random housing situation,

266
00:13:48.399 --> 00:13:52.759
<v Speaker 2>and all of my building are like singe like engineers,

267
00:13:53.039 --> 00:13:57.559
<v Speaker 2>and yeah, they're all engineering students, and so I kind

268
00:13:57.600 --> 00:14:00.279
<v Speaker 2>of felt like the imposter, Like no one else here

269
00:14:00.360 --> 00:14:01.519
<v Speaker 2>is liberal arts major.

270
00:14:01.840 --> 00:14:06.200
<v Speaker 1>And I think it's really easy to like because when

271
00:14:06.240 --> 00:14:08.720
<v Speaker 1>you're in high school as like as a freshman, you know,

272
00:14:08.759 --> 00:14:12.000
<v Speaker 1>when you're in high school, like getting accepted into a university,

273
00:14:12.039 --> 00:14:15.000
<v Speaker 1>like this kind of gives you like some confidence because

274
00:14:15.039 --> 00:14:16.879
<v Speaker 1>you're like, yeah, like I did do good in high school.

275
00:14:16.879 --> 00:14:19.080
<v Speaker 1>I got like whatever would it four point zero four

276
00:14:19.120 --> 00:14:21.879
<v Speaker 1>point whatever I did. I took all these aps, I

277
00:14:21.919 --> 00:14:24.639
<v Speaker 1>was in extracurriculars, I was a good student. And then

278
00:14:24.720 --> 00:14:27.679
<v Speaker 1>you get here and you're like, okay, that was everyone here,

279
00:14:27.840 --> 00:14:31.039
<v Speaker 1>everyone here did that. Yeah, and then some it's just

280
00:14:31.080 --> 00:14:35.080
<v Speaker 1>really hard to like not compare yourself exactly. It's very

281
00:14:35.120 --> 00:14:37.360
<v Speaker 1>hard people who are that I don't know, so similar

282
00:14:37.440 --> 00:14:40.039
<v Speaker 1>to you and have done more than you. And there's

283
00:14:40.039 --> 00:14:45.440
<v Speaker 1>also like that kind of lesson teaches you about self

284
00:14:45.480 --> 00:14:53.000
<v Speaker 1>confidence in general and how your academic achievements and all

285
00:14:53.000 --> 00:14:55.080
<v Speaker 1>of that. Well, first of all, you're you're at the school,

286
00:14:55.159 --> 00:14:57.960
<v Speaker 1>like we're here. We made it so weird you're here.

287
00:14:58.360 --> 00:15:00.399
<v Speaker 2>It was literally a miracle that I made here.

288
00:15:00.480 --> 00:15:04.000
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, but you're here because you deserve to be here.

289
00:15:04.120 --> 00:15:09.519
<v Speaker 1>And and also like academic achievements are are literally just

290
00:15:09.600 --> 00:15:13.360
<v Speaker 1>that academic achievements. They are not indicative of your worth

291
00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:16.600
<v Speaker 1>as a person and should not be indicative of your

292
00:15:16.600 --> 00:15:21.279
<v Speaker 1>confidence as a person. Like I think here in college

293
00:15:21.279 --> 00:15:25.039
<v Speaker 1>it's really important to like be literally just be a

294
00:15:25.080 --> 00:15:27.679
<v Speaker 1>good person, and like that's where you can find your

295
00:15:27.840 --> 00:15:30.320
<v Speaker 1>self confidence and self worth and not tie it to

296
00:15:30.360 --> 00:15:32.360
<v Speaker 1>your academic achievements because.

297
00:15:32.440 --> 00:15:35.440
<v Speaker 2>Like, yeah, definitely, it's.

298
00:15:34.679 --> 00:15:36.919
<v Speaker 1>Like there's no way you're not gonna fail a class.

299
00:15:36.960 --> 00:15:39.039
<v Speaker 1>There's no way you're not gonna forget you have a quiz,

300
00:15:39.080 --> 00:15:42.639
<v Speaker 1>there's no way you're not gonna do bad on an

301
00:15:42.679 --> 00:15:45.039
<v Speaker 1>assignment or whatever it is. So if you tie your

302
00:15:45.080 --> 00:15:49.279
<v Speaker 1>self worth to your academic achievement and like ability to

303
00:15:49.279 --> 00:15:52.519
<v Speaker 1>be productive and all of that, like you're gonna you're

304
00:15:52.519 --> 00:15:56.799
<v Speaker 1>gonna lose sight of of what really makes your makes

305
00:15:56.879 --> 00:15:58.200
<v Speaker 1>you worthy as a person here.

306
00:15:58.159 --> 00:16:00.440
<v Speaker 2>Exactly, And those are like the experience and the memories

307
00:16:00.480 --> 00:16:03.559
<v Speaker 2>you make along the way. Yeah, like your academics count.

308
00:16:03.679 --> 00:16:07.600
<v Speaker 2>Definitely those are some of your memories. But mostly like

309
00:16:07.960 --> 00:16:10.799
<v Speaker 2>for me, I'm big on like doing those side quests

310
00:16:10.840 --> 00:16:12.840
<v Speaker 2>and stuff, and sometimes I get sidetracked.

311
00:16:13.399 --> 00:16:16.639
<v Speaker 1>I think, at the end of the day, being productive

312
00:16:17.200 --> 00:16:21.279
<v Speaker 1>it varies between like per person, yeah whatever exactly subjective

313
00:16:21.399 --> 00:16:23.840
<v Speaker 1>like me being productive in a day is gonna look

314
00:16:23.840 --> 00:16:27.120
<v Speaker 1>different than you being productive in a day, and I

315
00:16:27.159 --> 00:16:29.519
<v Speaker 1>think now is the time to find exactly what that

316
00:16:29.559 --> 00:16:30.200
<v Speaker 1>looks like for you.

317
00:16:30.960 --> 00:16:33.159

319
00:16:36.200 --> 00:16:37.720
