My secret to having no artistic talent? Straight lines and stickers

I’ve been MIA this last week because I’ve been studying for an exam, but this productivity method has been so helpful in prep-ing for my exam. With an exam a week or two away, studying isn’t exactly an “urgent” task but it’s important that I actually do it. Using the eat the frog method helped me get practice exams out of the way first thing so I could focus easily on other tasks. It also stopped me from procrastinating and putting off study tasks.

Why I stopped dividing my Bullet Journal by dates (and maybe why you should too!).... Studying during a pandemic is not easy. You roll out of bed, open the fridge, sit down on the couch, and suddenly it’s 6pm (...no? just me then?). I’ll be honest, it is so difficult to stay motivated when I can’t see the end of this quarantine. It’s difficult when I can’t study with friends or in the library and there’s no stopping me from constantly scrolling through Reddit or Tumblr. And living at home means that there can a lot of variability in my day. I can’t always stick to a routine because with family, classes (both live and asynchronous), jobs, and other commitments, every day looks very different. 

At first, I would jot down a few tasks for Mon-Sun, get done very few of them on the day I wanted to and it was disheartening. So I tried a very different approach this semester. 

Instead of dividing my bujo by days, I have a section for each subject. I write down everything that I need to do under each class (lectures, notes, reading, homework, studying, etc.). Then, in a different colored pen in [ ] for the next 3 days, I schedule the tasks that I want to accomplish. So for instance, if I want to do my Marketing reading on Monday I would write Monday in the [ ] and I continue this for the tasks I want to accomplish in the next 3 days. 

Then, throughout the week I keep planning 2-3 days out. By planning in shorter sections, I can account for the tasks that I didn’t get done on the original day, but by constantly planning 2-3 days out every day, I stay ahead (plus I always have the week outlook on the page, so I keep the bigger picture in mind!). This is essentially moving the goalpost!

So please, if this pandemic is burning you out, instead of holding yourself accountable to planning your days out to an exact science, try planning the big picture of the long term, but only the details of the short term. 

I also added a due this week section at the top, just to add another layer of protection to make sure that I have the assignments done that need to be completed that day!

Has anyone used flipd before? It sounds really cool because you can make study groups but I’m not sure if it’s worth the money...thoughts?

The Studyblr Community Challenge 🖤🕷🕸

Day 3 - Why did you create your studyblr?

I originally created a studyblr in high school when I was in IB to help motivate me to be accountable. It really did help, but when I entered college I got burnt out of the studyblr community because I felt pressured to 'fit' a certain aesthetic. I took a hiatus for almost 2ish years and only posted infrequently. Then during COVID, I was missing the motivation of studying with friends on campus and missed the studyblr community a lot, so I decided to come back. I created a whole new blog (and this time made my studyblr my main blog) and wanted to be more 'true' to my interests and not try to fit my a certain studyblr mold.

Thanks for the tag @nagloticastudyblr!
