Bullet Journaling - Blog Posts

welcome to may!!

always one to kick things off with a great start— my laptop broke this morning :)

here’s to the may flowers that have been doing wonders for my mood 🌸

welcome to april! long time no see— i haven’t had the energy to work on my bujo for a while, if i’m being honest. i finally got a schedule of sorts together to give myself some structure, though, so my bujo is more important than ever!

i found an advice post from @emmastudies which explained the need for a good introduction, so let me introduce myself!

i’ll go by r. i’m a third-year university engineering student focusing on space, and i’ve been bullet journaling since march of last year. i’ve been on instagram for my bujo since about june of last year (find me @ raoganized !) i recently got into rewriting notes nicely, because the revision process helps me remember content better.

i have a few exams coming up, so look forward to productivity posts for that, i guess?

i would love some recommendations for other blogs to follow, or how to get involved in the bujo/studyblr community here. thank you!

(from insta) soooo... turns out i REALLY like painting! more than markers, or brush pens, or any of the other methods i normally use to make spreads... painting’s just super relaxing!

this is a #beforethepen of my usual study-and-grades-tracker spread i make every semester in order to keep track of how i’m doing. i think it came out really well! i’m super distractible, so i need to be extra-organized to make up for my scatterbrain tendencies 😅

again, this theme is inspired by @hayleyremdeart ‘s canyon theme from 2019!

(from insta) my semester-in-review theme is made up of these swirling colors in a pattern inspired by @hayleyremdeart ‘s canyon theme early last year! .

the colors themselves are inspired by lorde’s melodrama, which i maaay have listened to a little obsessively over winter break. the colors on that album are GORGEOUS, and while i kinda veered off into my own thing, i really like the interplay of the dark blues and teals with the tans and reddish-browns 😍

hi! i’m a new bullet journal account deciding to expand from my instagram onto here! would love tips on how to get involved with the community

Finally Had The Guts To Start A Proper Bullet Journal 📖🎉👀 | Some Thoughts

.

Around the last days of August, I finally had the resolve of bullet journaling my way out of a busy month of school work, exams, college admission tests, a youth service that I'd never think of participating, and esp (of course, once again) an inktober attempt juggling all these things in a span of thirty one days. Spoiler: I got by and actually (barely) survived ✨🎉

I'd say it is a proper bullet journal now because of such elements based from Ryder Cowell's system of the whole bujo. I never really dug deep into the bujo community until I realized that bullet journaling was waaay more flexible than I thought. So I researched the whole concept and it turns out I was actually "bullet journaling" even way back since I used to do (food and skincare) logs, (anime & manga) trackers and (idea/music) lists before then, only the difference is that it was all over the place, kept in an unorganized manner unlike a proper bujo separating them by months for convenience of the viewer's eye onto the paper he/she's seeing.

I realized I was about to go down if I didn't kept track of the things that was happening last month. I decided to put my inktober works inside my bujo along with my test permits and weekly tasks in school. You could say that this notebook helps me stabilize equal amounts of time with school related tasks and my creative projects I've been working on since idk... day 1? *sighs. (To be honest, my heart is aching to be in two places at once -_-) It's been a long time for me doing multiple things, and I miss concentrating, focusing on one thing with all your heart. That's why I decided getting things real with legit planning my days from now on. I still think its scary doing this since I'm more of a "surprise attack" person than an organized one at that.

I think I did a pretty good job on my first month. We're now in the early days of November and I think I'm making sure I'll get things by. Bullet journaling is kind of therapeutic tbh, been tracking my sleep lately bc of my weird patterns but I'm sure I'll be fine soon haha 😃

Hopes and dreams,

Ps: stickers and things aren't really necessary, they just make me happy by seeing colors every now and then hehe

Pps: not posting it that much online = also don't wanna stress over how it looks and not that visually pleasing since it isn’t about that at all heheh
