Board Thread:Looking for a Group (LFG)/@comment-24421812-20140114133512

[Seeing as the old forum went down a few days ago, let's try this again.]

I'm really enjoying HabitRPG so far and I want to get the most out of it by forming a friendly, close-knit group of students who will keep each other motivated as we cultivate better study habits and work towards getting a great degree!

So, I started a party. But we need more people!

What we're looking for: If you meet all those requirements, we would love to have you in the party!
 * Undergraduate university students. (Preferably those that are currently studying in Europe because of similar timezones, but not necessary.)
 * Those who are (at least partly) using HabitRPG for academically related motivation and productivity.
 * Active users who will use the party chat and try to get to know other members. (People can get very busy, myself included. But if you can find time to tick off your dailies, you can find time to say hi in the party chat every few days.)
 * Super encouraging people who will hold their other party members to account and help them find motivation when needed (whether it's sharing tips and advice, or just cheering them on).

I currently have a Trapper Santa quest scroll, but I want to wait a while and let us all to get to know each other first before we take it on. I am interested in questing eventually though!

If you're interested in joining and meet the requirements, fill out this form so we can all get to know each other better!

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-right:10px;margin-bottom:1.2em;color:rgb(74,74,74);font-family:Georgia,TimesNewRoman,Times,serif;line-height:21px;">Your degree: BA Philosophy (3 years)

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-right:10px;margin-bottom:1.2em;color:rgb(74,74,74);font-family:Georgia,TimesNewRoman,Times,serif;line-height:21px;">Current year: 2nd year

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-right:10px;margin-bottom:1.2em;color:rgb(74,74,74);font-family:Georgia,TimesNewRoman,Times,serif;line-height:21px;">Worst study habits: I tend to procrastinate on my assignments and leave things to build up before I tackle them. I often obsess with getting everything perfect both before and during writing, instead of just focusing on writing all that I can and editing it after. This leads to a huge loss of time and productivity and often means that I'm staring at blank page for hours. I also find it difficult to strike a healthy balance between study and social life - I either find myself socialising so much that I ignore my work completely, or focusing so hard on my work that I neglect everyone around me and forget to go outside! I also forget to review my notes often and leave it until before the exam to cram as much information as I can.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-right:10px;margin-bottom:1.2em;color:rgb(74,74,74);font-family:Georgia,TimesNewRoman,Times,serif;line-height:21px;">What good study habits do you want to cultivate?: Focusing on doing my work bit by bit rather than leaving it to pile up or trying to do it all in one go. Doing one small thing towards my current assignments each day to make it more managable! Getting assignments done in advance of the deadline to reduce stress and leave more time to edit! Review my notes at least every week and keep on top of the required reading! Make time for friends other social responsibilites without forgetting my studies!

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-right:10px;margin-bottom:1.2em;color:rgb(74,74,74);font-family:Georgia,TimesNewRoman,Times,serif;line-height:21px;">Examples of Habits, Dailies and/or To-Dos that help you manage your study habits: All my assignments for the rest of the academic year are listed under my to-dos (deadline listed), each with a checklist of specfic stages ("Research", "Planning", etc.). I have at least 2 hours of degree-related reading and a set amount of writing each day listed as Dailies. Under my Habits, I have "Socialising while still completing dailies" and "+ 1hour of productive study".

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-right:10px;margin-bottom:1.2em;color:rgb(74,74,74);font-family:Georgia,TimesNewRoman,Times,serif;line-height:21px;">Interests outside of your degree: I really love science (and I'm a science editor for my student newspaper). If philosophy wasn't my main love, I would probably be doing a science-related degree instead. I'm also interested in myth/folklore and ancient history. I'm currently trying to be more tech-savvy by learning some basics in computer science and programming in my spare time, but it's not going very well.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-right:10px;margin-bottom:1.2em;color:rgb(74,74,74);font-family:Georgia,TimesNewRoman,Times,serif;line-height:21px;">Hobbies/Pastimes: I like to read a lot; not just books but also comics/graphic novels and interative fiction as well. I guess I'm fond of narrative and storytelling in general as I also enjoy audio fiction - I'm currently trying to write a radio play for my student radio station. I play video/computer games from time to time (although I'm trying to cut down), and enjoy fooling around in RPGMaker. I also like to sew and cross-stitch.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-right:10px;margin-bottom:1.2em;color:rgb(74,74,74);font-family:Georgia,TimesNewRoman,Times,serif;line-height:21px;">What are you thinking of doing after your degree?: I still haven't really decided whether I should a) carry on in academia, b) pursue a career in editing (fiction or academic non-fiction), or c) pursue a career in civil service. I need to figure that out soon!

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-right:10px;margin-bottom:1.2em;color:rgb(74,74,74);font-family:Georgia,TimesNewRoman,Times,serif;line-height:21px;">Looking forward to hearing from you! We also need a name for the group. If anyone has any suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated. :) <ac_metadata title="LFG: Undergraduate students who want to develop good study habits!"> </ac_metadata>
