We're human. 🙂 Sometimes we waste our time. Other times, we do too much and get overwhelmed. Sometimes we sleep in (I did today lol), other times we go to bed too late. And sometimes we just plain fail. If you're very conscientious, sensitive, or a perfectionist, these small moments of failure can push down your self-worth bit by bit. It doesn't make sense but it happens, and if your mental immune system is a bit down, it can get you down. Every few weeks, I wake up feeling scattered for no one particular reason, but a million tiny ones. 🌫 Yesterday was one of those days, and one way I cope is taking inventory of these feelings and disassembling them until: I see them as an outsider, invalidate them, and accept that they'll pass. This spread in my bujo was just that and I wanted to share it. These feelings come in cycles, and valleys are inevitable. When you feel them coming - and it often starts with just a bit of negativity replacing the positivity - don't let it become a self-perpetuating spiral. In her recent post, @foodfitnessflora pointed out how boring life would be if we felt each feeling for a consistent period in life before moving on to the next feeling. Imagine a few years of just happiness, then a couple of just sadness. I'd rather just do my best to deal with the fluctuations. ☺️ . . #bulletjournal #bujo #bujoinspo #bujoideas #bulletjournalinspo #bujoinspiration #bulletjournaljunkies #bujocommunity #mentalhealth #bulletjournalspread #selfworth #loveyourself #notebooktherapy #notebook #planner #bujoperfectionist #bujospread #bujolover #bujobeginner #bujolife #bujominimalist #minimalbujo #journal #journaling #bujospread #stationeryisland #leuchtturm1917

#AD | This spread was one of the first pages in my travel sketchbook from summer 2017, when I spent a month in St.Andrew’s, Scotland! ✨ Although I don't do it much anymore, practice of this sort where you just draw everyday things in your surroundings is one of the best ways to get better at art and design. 🎨😉 More beginner tips are coming in my next youtube video! This technique is called sketch journaling, or travel sketching and I would recommend trying it out! One of my favourite artists is @lizsteelart. There's also a really great course on @skillshare by @sdionbakerdesign to get you started. It’s called “Sketchbook Illustration for All: Draw Your Day with Watercolor & Pen”. She also demonstrates 3 different layouts for your sketch journaling pages! ☺️ NOTE: I'm a Skillshare partner, so you can get 2 FREE MONTHS of Premium Membership to the platform at the link in my bio! 💕 Would recommend giving it a try! #sponsored #travelsketch #sketching #urbansketch #bulletjournal #sketchjournal #standrewsscotland #sketch #artistsoninstagram #urbansketching #fabercastell #watercolour #art #drawing #beginnerartist #arttips #graphicdesign #sketchbook #drawyourday #bulletjournalspread #bujoinspo #artinspiration #artideas #strathmore

Leave your guesses in the comments! ⬇️ How long (in minutes) did I take to talk through my 2019 bullet journal in total? 🤪 I'll comment the real answer tomorrow! Just uploaded part 1 of my 2019 bullet journal flip through and Q&A! 📚 It's the first flip through I've done since my most popular 2017 flip through video. Go check it out to see what my @scribblesthatmatter bullet journal (gifted!) from last year looked like, what spreads I used, and what I think of it looking back. I also answered all of your questions in the video! LINK IN BIO! Also... may or may not be publishing every Thursday now. 🙈😲 All thanks to my amazing editor @dar_biggoose!! . . #bulletjournal #bujo #bujoinspo #bulletjournalinspo #bulletjournalspread #bulletjournalflipthrough #bujoflipthrough #bujomotivation #2019bulletjournal #bulletjournalideas #newbulletjournal #bujocommunity #bujojunkies

This was my favourite spread from the ones I made for my 11 Bullet Journal Style Ideas video! 🌿 It’s super chic/stylish but still totally professional ... that’s the vibe I like to go for with my notes/creative work. P.s. Ironically, peep my pyjama pants string at the very bottom of the photo... 😂🤪 P.p.s. If you haven’t seen this video yet, go watch it now at the link in my bio! It’s packed with some good ideas for your new Bujo spreads! 😉 #bulletjournal #professionalbujo #bujostyles #bujoideas #bulletjournaljunkies #bulletjournalspread #bulletjournalstylish #bujoinspiration #bujoinspo #bulletjournalinspo #bulletjournaltips #minimalbulletjournal #fabercastell #planning #notebooktherapy #bujonewbie #newbujo

If your prof posts their PowerPoints before class and they make great class notes, consider using them in class! Don't waste the time trying to multitask between listening to the professor and copying down their slides. 😉 I've been printing off the slides for most classes since last semester, and supplementing this with loose summary notes from the textbook readings, and I think it helps me remember so much more from class. #notetaking #universitystudent #organization #organizationtip #study #studyinspiration #studyspo #studygram #powerpointnotes #lecturenotes #notetakingtip #studytip #stayorganized #notetakingstrategy #studystrategy

What are the things that make you feel fulfilled? When you're laying out a vision for your year and the goals you want to achieve, start with the big buckets! ✅ Fitness, nutrition, learning, creativity, social are some of mine. Then, ask yourself what small, actionable steps you need to take to get to that ideal and start by focusing on one or two of those habits at a time! 🌱This kind of mastery-focused goal and habit setting can keep you from fizzling out after the New Year goals hype. For fitness, you might want to become more fit and develop an active mindset and lifestyle. 🏃‍♂️If so, write out all the components that would go into that - going to the gym 1x a week, then 2x a week, and going for walks when you take breaks or doing something active every morning when you wake up. Then, rather than starting with all of these, start with one. 🤔 Go to the gym once a week for 30 minutes only, and do it until you master it before moving on. #bulletjournal #bulletjournalinspo #bujoinspo #habits #habittracker #bujohabit #bujojunkies #bujocommunity #newyearresolutions #wordoftheyear #bujocoverpage #bulletjournalspread #newbujo #bujoideas #bulletjournalideas #productivity #organization #minimalbulletjournal

What's your 2020 word of the year? 🌿 Mine is Peace - I explained why in my latest video, my 2020 bullet journal set up! I also shared three questions that might help you find your own word of the year: 1. How do you want to feel 90% of the time and what mindset do you need to cultivate for that? 2. What does success mean to you? 3. What habits do you need to create in order to feel this way and be more successful? #bulletjournal #bulletjournalinspo #bujoinspo #habits #habittracker #bujohabit #bujojunkies #bujocommunity #newyearresolutions #wordoftheyear #bujocoverpage #bulletjournalspread #newbujo #bujoideas #bulletjournalideas #productivity #organization #minimalbulletjournal
