a year after quitting bullet journaling... MY UPDATED PLANNING SYSTEM :)

[@leafytiana]

Notion has definitely been a super helpful website for me! Only issue is that there’s a lot of tools to learn when you start using it. If it didn’t exist though, I’d think I wouldn’t be as organized

[@hmmmchybazmieniamnazwe9177]

It's really easy to learn

[@vismayasankar2505]

i do value notion alot but i think that after playing with the feature for some time you get a hang of it. it is also important to note that notion doesn't offer end to end encryption (because the search feature would be complete disabled) which allows third parties or hackers to access your data easily. I'm not hating on notion or anything (in fact I use it myself pretty much everyday) I just want to make others aware too :))

[@andymarie8165]

im struggling to grasp it as well

[@iode9999]

@@hmmmchybazmieniamnazwe9177 eh. Somewhat. If you are really nerdy about it then you might have to learn a little more. I wouldn't really say it's hard, it just takes time. There's a learning curve

[@joseph3582]

Is it free? I think it is

[@isabellebarrett1318]

I tried so hard with digital planning systems like Notion/Google Cal but I always end up spending so much longer fiddling with the settings and setting up each event, etc. than I ever did just writing it down in my bullet journal so I think I'm going to switch back for now but stick to a more minimal system without all the trackers and doodles and stuff that I never really used to begin with

[@rayaneb5186]

Yesss that's exactly what I was gonna comment I tried to get myself into notion but I'm going back to my bj this year

[@persona7506]

same , i just do mini todolists for daily tasks on paper and if i ever need to plan things over a week or month , i just make columns or if im feeling generous , ill make a calender with boxes on a sheet

[@care6795]

i feel the same way! i spent so much more time watching tutorials, looking for templates, and finding images than actually planning and being productive. it's also way easier to be a perfectionist with a digital system, for me at least

[@arapaimagold8088]

Analog planner teach us to develop our spatial intelligence. We train ourselves to become more efficient and effective using time. Write it once and we remember it unconsciously without the help of reminders. But yeah, everyone has their own limitations m. So use which system that help you the most. Anyway, Bujo is really easy to use nowadays. You need time blocking like Hobonichi? There's sticky notes that you can buy. You need digital reminder for Bujo? Ryder has it in the store for you. Bujo is fun when we stripped it down to barebones. And also in professional field of work, you can't use laptop or tablet when you're meeting with your clients. Using them will make your interactions cold, that's why a notebook and pen is irreplaceable as tools for creating warm and open interactions.

[@isabellebarrett1318]

@@arapaimagold8088 I'm not sure if you meant to put this as a reply to my comment specifically, but actually the idea that analogue systems promote spatial intelligence or memory recall compared to digital methods isn't really backed by the literature in that area. In some cases, studies have even suggested the opposite is true for people who don't have great note‐taking skills because digital systems are often more structured and have built‐in reminder systems. It's a myth perpetuated by educators and not based on the science I'm afraid. Analogue planners can be great for some people and difficult/less useful for others, the same way digital planners can. Unfortunately the same can be applied to your claim about professionalism and client relations, it's just not backed by any meaningful evidence. That said, if you personally find that using an analogue system like bujo/sticky notes/etc. works for you and creates a better dynamic with your clients that's great, and you should absolutely keep using whichever system works best for you! As someone doing a PhD in this area though I can't help but try to correct the misinformation :)

[@DemetriPanici]

I think bullet journaling has it's place for everyone but I like the digital route!

Thanks for injecting optimism, thanks for ur positive reinforcement

[@sarahnunez318]

Notion is a lifesaver, I've never been able to stick to conventional planners, but because I can just pull up notion on my phone or computer while I'm working, it's so much more convenient.

[@melissalai8173]

same bestie. no literally I’ve been doing notion and google calendar too, and google cal has been a lifesaver to remind me of appointments/classes/etc! the flexibility of notion is so important to me too, though the learning curve was a little steep and it can be a lot if you’re just getting into it haha

notion saves my life so much. i could never get into billet journaling but i love customizing my organizers. since i've taken on so much tutoring and volunteering, i've been able to keep notes and info on all my students. plus, when you make an event on notion category it becomes a new page so i can put lesson plans on the meetings. i genuinely love notion sm

[@alix4935]

hey :) i've been binging all of your stuff this semester and your motivation/vibe/tips were a huge part in getting from a 3.05 u/w cumulative for the past two years to a 3.85 this semester. i've realized that i can actually focus and that seemingly magical 4.0/1500+ people like you aren't some different genre of person, my little swamp gremlin self can do it too :) thank you

[@toniodejimi3905]

you can actually put your google calendar into your notion! i know that it's different and you can't edit it IN notion, but still! literal game changer

[@niyatsiyum4774]

I just can't get myself to use notion, nor could I get myself to use a bullet journal or a regular planner. The only thing that may work for me is an undated planner (has the structure of a planner, design of a bullet journal and is easy to use like notion). I haven't tried using it yet but I need it to work lol. I simply tried everything else.

[@emilyesnyman]

As someone who had the same experience. Could you elaborate on what you struggled with? I also need something to work and I wanna know if we have the same problem

[@madisenyoung8783]

Hi, I relate to these same struggles. For me: I haven’t taken the time for the learning curve of notion, bujo just took too much time and I was too much of a perfectionist with it and a reg planner is just easy to ditch and wastes paper. Currently using Google Calendar, but whenever I’m online I always default to KZbin, so also planning on getting an undated planner. If you have any suggestions, continue in this thread plz

[@lavendermelon7889]

exactly ikr? Like i have tried to understand notion a handful of times just to get more confused and demotivated. And i dont have the artistic capabilities to keep an aesthetically pleasing bullet journal. Never kept one for more than 2 weeks. Everyone says “notion is this, notion is that..” yet i just can’t seem to understand it no matter how many times i try. i just went to writing daily to dos

[@hannahbanana9901]

is it that you forget about it? maybe you could try phone alarms instead. you can set alarms for the day with a title of what you need to do

[@no_peace]

I know what you mean What i did was daily bullet journal with a weekly printable and a monthly pocket calendar (and Google calendar reminders). I can't find the right undated daily planner or I'd use one. Making your own printables is awesome (you can use Google slides). You can add and subtract things from them pretty easily. There are lots of drawbacks and requirements but I literally can't find even a marginally acceptable alternative. I'm autistic and have ADHD. I need a lot of structure and a LOT of room to plan, with very little effort involved most of the time. Since i have hyperfocus i can use it to make the printables, so they're there when i don't have hyperfocus on planning, or any energy at all One of the best things I've figured out is that i can cut in half a sheet of a4 or letter dot grid (like from a Walmart spiral notebook) and use repositionable tape/glue to make it a huge post it So i could probably use a dated weekly planner with a daily dot grid on the notes side, and switch to a new dot grid post it every day I've been making post its out of everything

[@reneethomas898]

no bc the way she not only is frugal but sustainable... yea thats smth i really admire and wanna adopt too

Notion was the best thing that I found in 2021. Everything becomes more easy after I started to organise it digitally: my life, my college, my other projects, finances etc.

[@joljol423]

With indify you can create a widget for Notion, to show your Google calendar section, and embeded it on the page. I find the count down to and the weather widget very cool and useful to add.

[@lamb444]

i love notion since it can do everything i would need to do in a notebook/planner but with unlimited space ! I can write all of my assignments down and check them off, add important dates to a calendar, link webpages to text and the toggle function which keeps my lists minimalistic, the creators fr deserve an award ☝🏻

Hi, studyquill!!! I'm here to thank you for what you did for me these past 4 years. You are the one who turned me into the person I'm now, you are the one and the only person who can motivate me to work hard and thrive for the best. I'm so concerned about where you have been this past year, but I hope you are having a great time no matter where and with who. I still miss you though.

I happen to love using stencils for my bullet journal it helps to remove the perfectionism aspect and reduces the time it takes for me and then I just doodle designs in my spare time

[@EmpressVes]

I totally spent 30 minutes this week dinking around with my work calendar and changing all the shared calendars I have to have open into a muted beachy palatte. Do I magically want to be in these meetings? No. Does checking my calendar now bring a tiny fission of joy? Yes and I'll take what I can get!!

[@tr15709]

i’ve just started using notion, and once i got the hang of things, i’ve discovered that it can be useful for a lot of different reasons! i’d love a tour of your notion!

[@bluishblow]

it's actually freeing to admit we like to make things cute, after i realised that i became more comfortable to be organised with my own system

[@megumin4564]

The two things I don't like about notions are 1- if your laptop is slow just opening the app takes like 5 minutes 2- I take my notes for class in french but there is no spell check for that language so I can't add accents without changing all the keyboard. 3- I'm terrible with technology in general Apparently they're 3

[@koresbabysitter]

I’ve been using google calendar to stay on top of my schedule, notion to stay on top of my uni assignments and some personal things and I’m using an agenda mostly to see all my monthly assignments clearly.

[@SweetestHoney86]

You so perfectly described why I had trouble getting into paper planning but have been obsessed with Notion. I enjoy the creativity it allows me, the ease, and making mobile friendly pages for my everyday use.

[@arapaimagold8088]

The thing with analog planner, it helps to keep developing our spatial intelligence. Therefore we will become more sensitive with how we use our time and push us to be more efficient. Its like write it down once and we subconsciously remember it without any need for reminders.

[@StackerRox]

THANK YOU FOR TELLING ME ABOUT THE CALENDAR COLORS I WAS SO ICKED OUT BY THE DEFAULT BUT NEVER COULD FIGURE OUT HOW TO CHANGE THEM. THANK YOUUUUUUUU

[@papermason]

I take a page or two for a week, anything beyond that is on an old school paper calendar. That weekly page has a top section with my work hours, under that is a "T" form, with 2 columns labelled "Work", and "Life". Everything I need to do is divided between the columns. Underneath that is events -- errands, appointments, meetings, etc. If I need to make notes the facing page is dedicated to that. Even if there's one short note, the page is considered filled and a new page for the next week is set up. This has worked forever -- I don't use online clalendars, they just don't work for me. The bujo was like a full-time job by itself.

[@janejohnson1405]

There are also extensions for the google calendar app to make it even more customizable, like if you don't like a pain background you can change it with the Custom calendar background extension. Also you can make google keep for notes, checklists, and stuff to appear on the side of your calendar!

[@int3rgalact1c]

Can u do a tour of your notion setup? Just so i can get an idea of it

[@subzerocosmic]

can you please make an updated version on how you digitally note take? like the formation system and how you condense your classes to your notes, additionally how you usually annotate too please

[@Gigi.loves.reading]

I use a bullet journal more for keeping track of emotional/mental health, to do list, + notion for education purposes and book journaling.

[@samiachowdhury8344]

I used to create calendars to get more colour options but it was a pain to keep switching to different calendars. Luckily, there is a chrome extension called More Colors for Calendar! Which let's you add custom colours for individual events

I like to put task reminders on my phone, and write my homework in my bullet journal. Also not an artsy person, I just google yearly calendar, print, cut, and paste into my monthly/future logs

[@marianatorres2518]

I graduated college a while ago, but your videos have helped me a lot.

[@anto-yf5dd]

Love this! I use notion and Apple calendar. If you use all Apple devices (basically if you have an iPhone and a Mac) I recommend you use the built in calendar because, for me, it’s a lot more aesthetically pleasing (you can customize all of the colors in the Mac) It has pretty much everything google calendar has and you don’t need to download a new app :)

[@gwyne4846]

Idk if it depends on the device that you use, but Notion has a calendar tool too. You can schedule your appointments or tasks and even set reminders for it, like notion will send you notifications for it, it’s really cool and aesthetic

[@bluishblow]

i use notion for more general thigs, but for my classes i put everything in excel because i don't always have internet acess and i like it more that way. we can also put rgb codes so it's perfect

[@alisandra4775]

My first time using Notion was a hassle. There were lots of buttons and functions that I couldn't get my head wrapped around on. But with consistency and extremeeeee studying on how to deal with the concept of the website 😂, I found it really helpful! I'm still working on my organisation techniques with Notion, to be frank, but overall, it is an absolute must-have organisation website to use.

[@lukvanleeuwen7603]

I feel like time blocking can be usefull if you really are busy the whole day. But if that is your everyday life than that might not be healthy. You can live like that for a couple of year to make it through college for example, but really, most of your life is not meant to be planned. Do a few tasks every day sure, but don't plan your days from wake to sleep. Leave some time to be spontanious or to just stare into space for a bit. (and I don't mean plan in an hour everyday for "free time". Your whole life is free time, so make it feel like that!)

[@hypeboynwjns]

hi Jasmine, i read your instagram post and i hope you feel better soon, thank you for atleast letting us know. i really enjoy your videos and recently i've been taking better notes and i have more motivation and your channel is the reason for that. thank you so much! and i hope you feel better soon, take care of yourself and stay hydrated !!

[@kroselavy]

Oh that’s such a coincidence because I started watching your channel few month ago because I wanted to start again with my bujo, and I was trying to merge my use of notion and my use of bujo, and after testing a lot google calendar I realised that it doesn’t work for me and I like better the notion+bujo because I am a quite creative and I love doodling I bought a Filofax notebook in which you can remove and add page as you wish and I think it’s going to change my life haha

[@torismith2885]

A digital planner is great for accessing to-do lists quickly! Personally, I use a paper planner along with Notion, which has helped since I remember things better when writing it by hand. Although, it definitely took a bit to learn Notion but once you delve into it you start understanding it pretty fast!

[@ilvestrawberries]

same!!

[@saloni.sharma]

i think most of the pressure of bullet journaling comes from social comparison alone. making your planner look better rather than function better is an unhealthy idea.. i've always used an amalgamation of tick tick/ google calendar and my journal for years now and i love that your system is similar to that one. also i have to try notion cz i'm hearing a lot about it i just can't quite understand it lol. :p

[@FM-en5nv]

This is one of the most relatable videos ever. Agree with everything you said about Notion. Those limitations act as set boundaries so you know exactly what you can use rather than thinking about a million different options and trying to optimize. Also, thanks for the color tip with google calendar! Never knew it existed and will definitely help me use the app again.

[@sarahmu2626]

i've stoped bullet journalling as well in favor of notion, i just love it so much! once i got the gist of it things got so much fun lol i love using it for school and to plan my personal projects like sewing :)

[@mia_9632]

Notion it's really easy to use once you get used to the features and stuff but as someone that barely uses technology for organizing and likes adding little doodles on the side when writing a list or something (and someone that barely has time to sit down at least 10 minutes to create a bar in this page, etc like you have to do in notion) I'm trying to find this kind of planners that are already "done" or having notion templates printed because it takes 2 minutes to just write down what you need to instead of organizing everything and deciding the photos of this chapter and stuff [notion it's really cool tho, just takes too much time]
