I did this by taking a class at alejandra.tv

I watched a few of her YouTube videos and was hooked. The class really helped me, I learned a lot of things I didn’t know before!

I recently did an online organizing class alejandra.tv and it really helped me improve my time management skills…which were basically non-existant before. Now I have a notebook for writing down important things, phone calls, and ideas, a planner that I designed for myself and had spiral bound, and I use iCal. Now I’ve for all the tools, just need to continue to stay disciplined about using them.

Here we go again, going to be getting up at 4 for the next month for neurosurg. Wish me luck.

Ok I got a camera! It’s not great but it should work. Now just need to find things to take pictures of…

I bought the Clarisonic Mia awhile ago and I LOVE it. Gets my face super super clean.

Lexapro (escitalopram) has helped immensely. And a little therapy too.

Still need a camera. Need money.

So….I’ve now been taken to the ER by ambulance for dehydration. That was embarrassing. And most likely expensive. I really need to start drinking more water. I just don’t like it! I lose water bottles. The only promising thing recently is I discovered I like drinking hot water with a lemon in it in the morning, so maybe I’ll get some down that way.

I’m in the end of my 3rd year now. I’d safely say I feel comfortable talking to patients. Even if I do forget something, it’s no big deal, I can just pop back in and ask them.

I’ve made a few things. I need a heavier grade wire bc my flimsy one is too bendy for some things.

Being on OB has forced me into a regular pattern despite my best intentions. I went to bed between 8 and 9 and got up at 5 for 2 months. At night I sometimes drank valerian tea and took a melatonin and in the morning I’d turn on my full spectrum “happy light.” I think it helped. If it works for me, it will probably work for anyone.

I got a fancy iPhone speaker dock for Christmas, now my alarm is music that gradually turns on. It’s wayyy better than an annoying alarm sound and I don’t have to turn it off, I can just listen and let it wake me up over 10 minutes

Now that I have a Mac and its easier to store and organize pictures, I want to take more. But my old digcam broke. I really want to get the SLR lens for iPhone!!! First I’m gonna need some money…

I like neutrogena’s pore refining toner. Doesn’t sting and smells really good.

I’ve started turning my studying into an art project. Now I have a super colorful notebook where I put notes and write stuff from doing practice questions. It’s actually pretty fun, I can focus for a few hours straight now. I wanna get some new colored pencils… And I need to locate a mechanical sharpener bc using my roommate’s eyeliner sharpener is getting old.

Yoga and massage are helping with this! Also getting my belly button pierced is a good reminder bc I feel it when I’m not sitting up straight.

I do this every day.

This was easier than I thought. Counseling + Lexapro.
