The less i cared about stuDYING, the easier it got

Bad study sessions make me feel guilty. If I couldn’t concentrate, I’d assume I was being lazy and stupid. If I didn’t understand something immediately, I’d start thinking I wasn’t good at it. Then I realized I could just… study. Not understanding a chapter doesn’t mean I’m ass. Nor getting a low score doesn’t require a whole new identity or existential crisis.
I started treating studying more like brushing my teeth. Sometimes I do it properly, sometimes I rush it, but either way, I just do the thing and move on with my day.
Since I stopped making every study session a referendum on whether I was a productive person, I got much better at doing it. It’s ok to eat while studying or watch while studying.
I think it’s just that we are being so hard on ourselves we forget we are people with a life, too..

You can literally get paid to attend someone's wedding

I originally came across it while looking for weird side hustles online. I searched for services that hire wedding guests, found an agency that was recruiting, and signed up.
The first time was honestly so weird. They gave me basic information about the couple and told me who I was supposed to know. My job was basically to dress appropriately, show up on time, smile, clap, eat, and make small talk.

I got paid around ¥10,000 for the wedding, plus the food, and honestly... I started wondering why I hadn't discovered this sooner.
It’s probably the strangest side hustle I’ve ever tried.
