Hi lovelies! I hope you are all doing well and keeping up to date with your studies. January was a bit of a wild month here so I am hoping February is a bit kinder to us! I thought I would kick things back off with a quick little lazy day in my life. What have you been up to? Let me know in the comments. I would also love to know what day is preferable to upload. Do you have a particular day you would prefer? Let me know.
See you all soon! xx

Yay! I look forward to these.. I just started a law degree with the OU. May I ask where you bought your laptop stand? I've bought three so far and don't like any of them. Also... I noticed you were taking notes on your tablet. Which note taking app do you use? If you don't mind sharing that is.

[@stacysspace]

Oh, I am so glad you like them! The stand I am using is from Amazon called the 'LORYERGO Laptop stand'. I can't link it in the comments unfortunately but I will try to link in the description of my next video just in case you can't find it. I don't mind sharing what app I use-it's Goodnotes. I have really got into taking notes on my iPad since getting a paper-like screen protector-it makes so much difference to me! I might actually do a video on it. Let me know if I can help with anything else! 😊

[@jasonpaul6297]

Thank you!! Goodnotes was on my list so I'll check it out. I'll check out the screen protector too. Sounds like a winner! @@stacysspace

How did you find the transition from level 1 to level 2 modules? Ive seen a big warning on my level 2 modules to say there is much less support and direction at level 2. (My current level 1 tutor has never spojen to or emailed me and only prerecords tutorials so i cant imagine what 'less support' looks like!!)

[@stacysspace]

I actually have a video about this coming up, but in a nutshell, I feel like I have been eased into it. The OU do that really well in my opinion/experience, but I would say I feel as supported as I always have been, which to be fair, unless I need an extension, I barely have contact with my tutor which suits me. For me, the biggest difference is the emphasis on referencing etc and the amount of resources used that are not written by the OU. Does that help? Let me know if you want any other info 😊

Hi Stacy How do you cope with procrastination? Thank you

[@stacysspace]

Hi, if I am really honest, I sometimes just go with the flow of procrastination and end up with a sparkling clean house right before a TMA is due 🤣 That said, the best way I have found to overcome it is to make sure my study space is distraction-free and then give myself 20-30 mins to get into it. If I am still struggling after that, I will let myself get up and complete a procrastination task and then try again. Another good way to prevent it is to book myself time to study. That way, if I have planned it into my week properly, I have fewer excuses. I don’t think anything is foolproof but these are good ways for me. Also, if I suddenly find myself in the mood to study but I am supposed to be doing something else, as long as that something else isn’t super-important, I go with the feeling because it doesn’t happen that often! I hope that helps x
