A Guide to Audio Journaling

This past month (or longer, I think) I switched from regular, written journaling to audio journaling, and I thought it’d be great to share my experience: the practice, what I actually do, why I do it, and some things to think about if you wanna try it out.

I keep all my audio journals on the voice memos app on my phone, but if any of you know an alternate platform to do so, feel free to share!

Anyway, hope this helps, and as usual, if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to send me a message or drop me an ask. Have an awesome week :)

For my French lit class I’ve to read Albert Camus’s Etranger and make a presentation about existansialism in the book. Funnily enough, I’ve read this book in Turkish about 3 years ago.

Is there a skill you’ve always wanted to master someday, but kept procrastinating on? A language you started learning – then abandoned? A topic in class you’ve never quite grasped? Or maybe you just want to expand your horizon and try something new? Distract yourself from your usual studies?

This challenge is the perfect opportunity to achieve that! Pick a skill and see how much you can improve and grow in 30 days – or really start working on your to-read list (I know those books have been piling up), your portfolio for that dream job in Illustration you want, or your blog you’ve been meaning to post more original content on.

Self-growth and development are so, so important, which is the main reason why I created this challenge.

The idea of this challenge is that people from all communities come together to gain knowledge, add skills and just have fun with the amazing amount of resources out there. This way, we can all support and motivate each other, whatever field you might be interested in.

Post an introduction with the hashtag #30dol with your goals and expectations for the month, and what your current level is. (Of course, you can join in later as well, but it’s fun to start a the same time!) In the end, you’ll be able to compare and see how much has changed!

Rules:

choose a topic or field you want to concentrate on

post an introduction to #30dol 

define your goals or aspirations

update daily or weekly, we want to hear from you! ♥

post a picture, a sketch, or audio, whatever you deem fitting to show us all your progress for the day/week

Here are some ideas for you:

bullet journaling (read about it here on @emmastudies, here’s an amazing online course on it) 

books/reading (if you don’t have a personal to-read list, here is one with the best books of the 20th century, best series with a gay plot/subplot, and books everyone should have read at least once)

coding (here are some sites to learn html, css, data science, python 3, java, etc.: x x x x)

design/illustration ( stickers and illustration, character illustration, Ink Illustration, 45 best adobe illustrator tutorials, 

business/freelance/open your own shop (tips on how to open your own sticker shop, digital skills: web analytics and marketing)

languages (apps like lingodeer, duolingo, lingvist, busuu, blogs like @lovelybluepanda. there are also so many pdfs and amazing websites out there depending on your target language!)

online mass education courses (edx, coursera, skillshare, futurelearn where universities and professionals teach you about their subject - be that astronomy, engineering, ancient greek history, artificial intelligence or medicine!)

social media (learn to take iphone photos for your tumblr or instagram, and here’s a great post by @studyquill on how to start and maintain a studyblr!)

photography (travel street photography, find photographers you admire like annie leibovitz or henri cartier bresson and read about their path, or browse youtube channels like negative feedback which specialize on photography)

creative writing (there are tons of workshops online - you could also try to set yourself a piece or word limit similar to nanowrimo) 

culinary (check recipe websites, or challenge yourself to try one new recipe a day, or dedicate the month to a specific cuisine)

music (learn music production, andrew huang has also made a video on how to start making music here)

film and filmmaking (karsten runquist’s channel is wonderful for film analysis,  learn about cinematography basics here and film history here)

painting (acrylic painting, sketchbook illustration. you could challenge yourself to fill an entire sketchbook/create a piece every day or week, or to improve a specific technique) 

Every resource linked is free (if you click on the links you can get Skillshare for free for two months and cancel anytime), so all you need is some free time and lots of motivation!!

I’m very happy to be announcing this to you all, and will be working on my Japanese for this challenge – so excited to see what you all and I will do and how far we can come!

Use #30dol as the general tag, and add your field (your specific subject, or writing, painting, lang(uages), pho(tography), film, book, design) to find people doing something similar! Though honestly one of the things I’m most excited about is the multidisciplinary aspect - we are such a brilliant and colorful community :)

Have fun guys!!

[byunnys]

big fan of walking in the rain. hate the concept of wet clothes. i am tired of life and its obscure sufferings

[byunnys]

1. know what it was like 150 years ago. life is more interesting when it's unpredictable, don't you think so?

2. not eat 🍕 for 5 years

3. have telepathy; i like being told how it is without fillers and lies

4. overdress!

5. have a pause button in my life. it would be useful so i could filter the things i say to... certain people 🥴 i get in trouble sometimes for being so blunt

6. spend night in a haunted house w/ @steph to protect me, she mentally stronk

7. have no phone battery and have wifi to use on my ipad 🙄👌

8. die young w/ no regrets. i'd never want to live until i'm 100 bro do ppl realize how many health issues they accumulate over the years and how much medication that is? no thanks

9. ask a stranger for a favor (^人<)〜☆

10. be able to speak any language, it is so fucking swag. i could only speak 5 rn, including sign language which isn't rly Speaking but whatever

11. be the funniest person in the room. funny people are scientifically proven to be more attractive bcs it takes intelligence to make the right jokes at the right moment. that's why whenever u laugh at my jokes u think i'm smart and sexy

12. hear an uncomfortable truth

13. be invisible so i could scare ppl. if i wanted to fly i'd rent a jet or have my bro fly me 💺

14. give up... cofe ლ(ಠ益ಠლ) rly loved how everyone had to pick this number bcs y'all know my top two weaknesses are coffee and ice cream

15. ew wtf who would pick wet socks tho i wanna know

16. go to question 30

17. never age mentally 🧠✨

18. be always hot 😏

19. know how i'll die seems cool. i'd probably die from diabetes ngl i eat so many sweets

20. live in a home w/o electricity and running water BCS i could use the running water to create electricity lmao what do u think dams and water mills were created for

21. be a wizard like harry potter ⚡️

22. well... it's already christmas and my bday everyday given how many gifts i receive from simps HAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA

23. have more time :-(

24. be a leader. i love hearing that i inspire others, it is so rewarding

25. be the heartbreaker, and i am

26. be ignored rather than criticized. i don't care about everyone's opinion sometimes ppl need to humble their ego and stfu

27. i could only choose to be stuck in an elevator with my partner and their ex since i've never had an ex before 😳😖

28. midnight snacks always hit best bcs it's breaking the rule of no eating after 6pm

29. terrible boss great job

30. stay single for life. NEVER ever settle for a bad relationship. you are worth it

[byunnys]

are you kidding, i love classical music. my favorite composers are bach, mozart, and *looks at smudged writing on hand* beef oven

[byunnys]

accepting that you’re objectively weird & owning it is infinitely better than being constantly desperate to appear normal to people who don’t even matter to you
