It’s Been Such A Nice Week Off From Social Media, But I Miss Posting And Interacting With You Guys

how i use notion #1: mega assignment list

i promised i would update this from last year, and decided to do a walkthrough for @sleepanon!

i’ve taken my school bujo-ing digital for the past year, so i’m going to create a mini-series of how i’ve tinkered with notion to make it work for me! there’s a fair learning curve to it, so my inbox is open for questions if you have any from my posts (not notion in general. ..i’m not an expert lol).

step 1: start a new page! under database, select table

step 2: rename the labels to assignments and class (leave Files alone) for now. you can also title the page and add icons/covers

step 3: select the files label, then under ‘property type’ change it to ‘date’ (this is for deadlines–i start with my official syllabus dates)

ALSO a part of step 3, but after changing to the deadline property, add another one! click that next label, and follow the same menu as above, but select checkbox to give you an option to ‘complete’ your tasks:

step 4: in the ‘class’ row (the first blank after the label), type in a course name to create a tag. once you do so, you can select the tag to edit it or change colors // you can repeat this step as many times as you need to for your assignments. i like to do my entire semester at once since i work ahead of the syllabus, but it might be good to take it month by month!

step 5: now, let’s add the calendar view. on the lefthand side, ‘add view’, name it, then select calendar (not just highlight like me, but click it!)

step 6: you should now see your assignments on the calendar. on the right side (top) of the calendar, click ‘properties’ and turn everything on!

you can also filter the calendar to only show completed/non completed tasks or by class:

and you can click on any assignment to open it, and add further properties:

again, if you have any questions about this, please let me know! 

11.10.20 / i spent the morning flipping through a japanese translation of the hobbit because i had a dream about the person who gifted it to me a long time ago. that set the ruminative mood of the day. right now i’m trying to consolidate research i’ve done throughout the week for my historical fiction wip. overall, my weekend has been peaceful. how’s your sunday going? hope you’re well ♡

18.11.2020 // i finally completed my exams yesterday and i have no idea how i did. by the time i started writing my third exam essay i honestly couldn’t tell at all if i was being a genius or a complete idiot

hi friends! i’ve been falling behind with my studies, so i’m doing this challenge to add a bit more accountability. my first goal is to catch up! ✏️ 💪

15/100 days of productivity (02.06.2021)

studied even more; went through notes and formula cards

tried to sleep early for my exam

16/100 days of productivity (02.07.2021)

took what felt like the longest exam of my life

i didn’t do that well, but i did better than last time 🌞

it made me extremely happy that the exam was over. on my evening walk, i was skipping and humming and dancing to the music over my earphones. i must’ve looked weird but i didn’t care at all. it’s been a while since i felt so alive, excited, and energized even though i was sleep-deprived 🌻 🌻 🌻

its so PAINFULLY hot

how's everyone coping with online classes?

Winter Studying Challenge

7th January: Do you like the cold?

I think it can be refreshing and nice but I much prefer the feeling of coming in from the cold! I've been raking leaves in the garden this morning to get over what happened in Washington DC last night and now I'm moving onto my next essay. X Emily
