Hey Y'all, I'm Back!

Hey y'all, I'm back!

This time I'm preparing for my postgrad exams, and I just started a few days ago. It's going slow, but I'm picking up the pace. This exam is a multiple choice question type, so besides reading and making notes and summarizing, I'm also solving questions everyday. The syllabus is massive though, so there's some starting problems 😅 But I find that coffee and waking up early helps.

I'm someone who listens to music a lot, and music generally helps me focus on studying too, so I usually play lofi, or more recently, this particular song on repeat - I hope it boosts your productivity too!

Have a great day y'all! Don't forget to stop and smell the flowers. Much love to you all 💕

✏️ how i’m starting a bullet journal

as someone who isn’t artistic 🙈

i've wanted to start a bullet journal for so long (i even asked @a-fox-studies for design recs months ago — thank you again for those!!), but i still kept putting it off.

i felt like it was something that would be time- and resource-consuming in an unfulfilling way for me because i would make unaesthetic mistakes that would make spreads unusable for me in the future without regrets, etc., etc.

so here's what i'm doing to finally start the bullet journal of my dreams 😍

step 1: go digital

i did a lot of research so you don't have to and found the best freemium free-form notes app (with customizable pens, a sane eraser and select tool, and that also supports text and images, etc.).

DrawNote by DragonNest has so many features for free and even more cool ones if you want to pay different tiers, but i was able to make the spread above with just the free version, so i'm already very satisfied 😌

step 2: play around with it

i tried out a bunch of different pens and styles and colors to see how they look and get familiar with the apl, i tried loading images, organizing my spreads into folders within the app, etc.

what i really like about the digital format is that i can make mistakes and it's like they never happened and i didn't waste a single overpriced stationery item 😅

step 3: only use it for one thing at a time

i'm only planning to use the October tracker above for my vitamins so far since that's what i need the most motivation to remember to do lately 🙃 and i think it's a small enough goal that i can be consistent with it for this month.

i already have so many other ideas for different spreads i want to do for other things in my life, but i want to make an effort to pace myself so that i can do this sustainably because it seems really fun and i'd hate for it to start feeling like a burdensome chore due to my own carelessness 🥲

💌: hope this helps anyone who also feels they're not artistic or aesthetic, but wants to start a bujo! 💛 let me know if y'all want an update at the end of the month on how it's going~

robot friend does not agree. 'failure' is inability to fulfill directive. human has no programmed directive. human evolutionary directive is to live. you are alive. everything else is bonus.

aaaah nelyaaaaa you're my favorite too! thank you for dropping this to my inbox!

i'm not sure what songs I should list, though, hmm. i love chill music like lo-fi, cute games ost, rnb soul, or something with acoustic instrumentals. i just play random songs in those genres. i also listen to Stray Kids because I love the theme and message they convey through their music. they're the only K-pop group I follow right now 😅.

with that being said, hmm, I'll just list 5 most repeated songs on my Spotify recently (no particular order):

Feel Something - Fiji Blue

D (Half Moon) - Dean, Gaeko

It's You - Max, keshi

Movie - JUNNY

1 MINUTE - Yugyeom
