Your Key to being Organized as a Student
Introduction
Bullet journaling is an excellent way to organize your daily life and your thoughts. Requiring nothing but a pen and a notebook, keeping a bullet journal means keeping a track of your life. Not just daily tasks, but your goals, your bucket list, and your dreams. As a student, it is vital to stay on top of your assignments. Through the bullet journal, your student life can become easier and more organized.
Organization
So, how does one start a bullet journal?
Firstly, you definitely need supplies. These supplies don’t have to be super expensive. Simple colored pens, and a notebook can work. It’s recommended that you first start off with simple materials before spending money on extravagant stationary items. If you start liking writing and decorating your bullet journal, you can go all out on the supplies. Anywhere from calligraphy pens to washi tape works.
Next, how do you layout your bullet journal?
Typically, one starts with a key and an index. The key serves the purpose of keeping track of symbols that help you throughout the journal. Meanwhile, an index helps keep track of the pages and its content. Next, you can start a yearly log or a monthly log. You can even skip those and instead have something like a bucket list, book log, movie log or goals. If you don’t like all of that, you can just skip to your weekly logs. This is where you write what you need to do everyday. Furthermore, if you would like to dedicate a separate page for each day, you can certainly do that as well. If following a format is not your style, it is always up to you how to organize your bullet journal. As a student, some very helpful pages include the weekly logs, expenses log, sleep and habit trackers, and class schedules.
Benefits
First of all, a bullet journal is a great way to keep track of yourself. If you’re someone who loves to be organized, and have a plan for everything that you do, then a bullet journal is a suitable option for you. Besides just organization, keeping a bullet journal can be relaxing at times. You know what to do and all you have to do is just do it. You won’t have to worry about forgetting something. Sometimes, you might need to take a break. You might’ve been stressed out about something and drawing, and making pretty or simple layouts can help take your mind off things that have been bothering you.
As a student, a bullet journal can be a substitute for a planner. As you pursue your higher academics, creativity can be limited in classes. By maintaining a bullet journal, you will be able to exercise your creativity as well as get organized at the same time. Bullet journals can be used to plan for the future and contain all important information that you may need in your day-to-day life.
