... bullet journaling, my new fave thing to do!

and now I am all set

and good morning plurkies .. have missed you guys

Ooooh, a Leuchtturm!

Have fun and remember not to overcomplicate it!

soooo hard not to .. also .. afraid to make the title page for index ..

lol

ZeeZuleicca: question .. if you make a mistake lol .. do you erase?

cause i am so fuck*ng anal

i don't evenhave an index

Because I use it also for work, mine is super spartan, actually.

cant imagine using it for work .. when i used to do that

if i can figure out a way to blur sensitive work things without making my pages look like an interviewed criminal....I will share hahaha

oh I would love that .. yesplease

I need to get a journal. I tried making my own but the paper is too light (used graph paper)

i also started with a cheapo notebook because I'm still exploring a page that'll work for me. I thought using my moleskin will hurt

Btw I adore stabelo pens I use them for my art all the time!

I got the leichturm, because the notebook I started with last week bled through

nami_naeko: this is my first time trying them .. some are erasable, so i figured that is good

WHAT

WHICH

let me take a pic

Oh my bananas I need to get on that

i figured i needed to be able to erase .. they dont come in a full colour range .. and you need the Colorkilla pen to do the erasing

the one on the right

Still would be nice !

I've been trying to do the bullet journaling but failing cuz I'm not happy with the books I was using so this has me wanting to try again

nami_naeko: yeah

I am soooooo excited to start properly

hubby is like .. so you will mini blog about cooking instead of actually cooking?

LOL

And yeah, it's useful for me in RL work too. I work at a place that LOOOOOVES meetings. Meetings for this, meetings for that. So I have a spread for it.

I'll figure out a way to show mine. Maybe reproduce a 'mockup' so I dont' have to show sensitive info.

we wanna see sensitive infos!

/me flounces

awww happy bullet journaling and hullos moriko

Mine is not linear. There are breaks in between days for random things. My rule is simple: if it's not RL work or SL work, there's no need for a page for it. So no fancies like 'habit tracker' or 'goals'

but mainly cos i adopt this to balance work and life. you will have something else you want to add

i feel like i need some structure to my days, cause otherwise I feel like all i did all day was be lazy

so hoping bujo will help with that

PacoPooley:

Well. IDK. Once I put "list this one item on MP", my whole day suddenly becomes like "go conquer Spain and learn to make proper paella today".

So I guess to feel busy, list in MP?

Gonna cook dinner and I shall think about how to share

ZeeZuleicca: marketplace shall remain out of my journal forever

No one likes mp listings ok

It took me like hours to list only one hairstyle on mp

im actually pretty uptodate .. and even deleted tons of old listings

So, huh... Question from my ignorance... What is a bullet journal?

ZeeZuleicca: If you go conquer Spain I'll tell you which are our weak spots

(But promise to be nice to us. Like, no mushroom in the paella nor the tortilla española.)

nami_naeko: omg, man, I can't imagine listing HAIRS on mp

Sometimes I think "I should make separate packs for all this colour, charge per colour". And then I remember mp listing and I change my mind

AurynBeorn: I suppose it's the hipster way to plan .

Awww you can take the girl from Canada, but not take Canada from the girl.. Itty bitty little flag..heeh

Tigist: yep yep .. I have all sizes

our house is the only one to fly a flag

cause sadly some German neighbors feel they shouldn't fly theirs

I reproduced my layout and took pic, but it won't upload from my phone Gonna try another thing.

can't wait to seeit

It's not pretty But it make sense to me

ah the balance between effective and eyebling

Yeah. haha. I'll make it pretty some other time. But also, I know mysef well and if a thing is multicoloured outside of black, blue and red...I get disinterested.

I tried the coloured method some time last month and I can't stand it. hahah. I guess I need mine to look serious

Ok, behold, some ugliness. I have three main things at the moment: The event ladder, weekly and dailies. Also, reproduction so I don't have to show work info. So, in order;

My event ladder, mixing SL event and RL work stuff in one vertical glance. Oh, also, I refer to a traditional monthly planner that I have separately. One of those huge ones.

Week at a glance. Everything/most things in short form - because this will be noted down in daily pages anyway. Limited space so if it's not important, don't sweat it.

Dailies: I don't pre-write this. I write at most 2 days ahead. So I don't pre-write Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday etc. Cos sometimes I use one page for 2 days etc

ZeeZuleicca: I need you to organize my life.

Example of today's with meeting notes. Today took 2 pages because of it. I didn't prewrite Thursday or Friday page til tonight.

AurynBeorn: I don't think I'm successful in organizing mine lolol

If you don't, at least you sure make it look pretty and neat

It doesn't have to be perfect (to me anyway). I think they system's important thing to me is 'rapidity'. So let's say tonight (Wednesday night going to Thursday), I suddenly thought of a gacha set.

Then the spread will be: Monday, 9th May. Tuesday, 10th May. Wednesday, 11th May (today), Gacha Sketch/Concept for Gami Gacha, Thursday, 12th May etc

AurynBeorn: It wasn't before! So I love this method, instead of 3 billion different notebooks for ideas and reminders, haha.

I've also noticed you have written down the Eurovision festival.

dolcemodz: there are many! If you look up Bullet Journalling, you'll see a lot of pretty ones I need mine spartan to take it seriously, haha

ZeeZuleicca: Beer o' Clock

Beer'o'Clock

Tyrion drinks and knows things. Be like Tyrion. Say yes to Beer'o'Clock.

ZeeZuleicca: omg Zee

so helpful!!!

thanks so so much

dolcemodz: totally

AurynBeorn: I didn't want to wake up so early for the first semis. Almost-winter makes it hard to get out of bed. But I shall tryyyyy

Definitely watching finals though

We only get to see the finals here, I think....but we get to.

Faerycat: It's 5am my time. This is great in summer...not so much in winter!

Maybe the dogs can help with warmth?

ZeeZuleicca: Yeah - and luckily its afternoon for me, but....
