In case you missed how I prepped or why I'm doing this - check out my first week and my prep week here:
A Month Of Bullet Journaling: The Prep
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!
