A Month Of Bullet Journaling: Week One

Anyways.

This week I wanted to upgrade my weekly layout because I wasn't feeling the one I used for the first week and come up with a page to help me keep myself in track of how to contact professors.

LIKES

- Again, I got to make everything myself. I think that's the thing I'm enjoying most about this adventure that I'm embarking on. I get to take the design skills that I'm working so hard for in college and applying them to my everyday life.

- This layout was 100,000,000 times more athletically pleasing. I could see it in the eyes of everyone I showed it to, it was definitely appealing.

- I went back to my Foods I Want To Make page and actually tried two of the recipes from my Pinterest boards! This is like a life goal of every person who aspires to be a real Pinterest-er.

- I used the professor contact page - twice - when I needed to email professors. It was nice to just have everything in one spot and I didn't have to get on D2L, navigate to the syllabus, find the contact info, yada, yada, yada.

DISLIKES

- Although there was the a to-do's place, I felt like I didn't actually have an reason to come back to this page... which is the point of keeping a planner.

R.I.P. to this beautiful design.


Week Three

This coming week, I wanted to focus on the ability to add things and increase how often I looked at the week - because I wasn't really doing that before. Also, I had a friend ask how I was keeping track of my tasks and I realized I wasn't.

After a lot, and I mean a lot of Pinterest searching and looking for things that will make me use my planner more, I found this pin and started. I wanted to replicate the layout, but make it more for myself.

My "Week @ A Glance" gives me a quick look for times I need to be places. Right next to that I have my weekly to-dos. Things I need to get done for the week, but don't have a due date, necessarily. On the opposite page is a daily spot with things I need to do on that day.

Another thing many people do that I liked a lot was some type of quote on the pages. On the left hand page - a quote to keep my spirits lifted. On the right hand page is a quote I'm considering for a tattoo and I want it to to be something I see regularly right now.

Stay tuned for next week and where my bullet adventures take me next!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
