restocking and replenishing⋆.ೃ࿔*:･✍🏽

im making this post cuz i think its helpful to keep track of what u normally need and normally buy + how long it lasts u until it needs to be replaced.

i separate mine weekly/monthly depending on what it is that i need, but by creating a sort of system like this u can save a lot of time when u go shopping, plus it'll bring ur organization to the next level.

HOW TO DO IT ;

so get some paper (preferably graphed paper, simply bcuz i find it neater and more aesthetically pleasing) and on one side write weekly and on the other side write monthly.

remember to use scented glitter gel pens and have FUN, make little doodles on the sides and decorate it with stickers when ur done.

on the weekly side write out what u need on a weekly basis. for example one thing on the weekly side of my list is sheet masks cuz i use them 1-2x a week.

use bullet points so that then everything is concise and easy to read, also when u go and buy them make sure to write the prices of those items, then u can use that data if u have other charts or lists ✨

on the monthly side write out what u need on a monthly basis. for example one thing on the monthly side of my list are my vitamins and my chlorophyll droplets.

DESIGNATE A DAY ;

have a designated day when u usually go and get whatever is on ur restock and replenish list. have some fun with it and make it a tradition of sorts even.

ur designated day should preferably be before ur week/month starts so that then u are fully equipped with what u need to feel and perform at ur best

my designated day is USUALLY saturdays and on my restock and replenish days i always have a kombucha and treat myself to something else that i want.

Organization Tip

Manageable Chaos & Maintainable Entropy

There was a point when no matter how many times I organize and and declutter and deep clean my room, it would just go back to being messy. It was a cycle of perfectly organized and unbearably chaotic with no in-between. That's when I found this idea, borrowing some Physics concepts (for I am a Physicist, through and through)

The key is finding the balance between:

Maintainable entropy: No matter how neat and perfectly organized you set your desk/room up, it always gets a little messy in 2-3 days. When you use your space, when you work with your things, it is bound to get disordered. And that's your maintainable entropy (a.k.a measure of disorder). You don't have to keep your space perfectly organized, just maintain it at this level of entropy. It's unrealistic to live in a room and maintain it like nobody touches anything. So embrace the entropy!

Manageable chaos: This is the maximum level of 'mess' that you can work with. How messy can your room get before it affects your mood or productivity. This is often less than the level where you can't even sit/sleep in your room without nudging away things - that's beyond your workable level. That is your manageable chaos. So find that level and when you seem to cross it, organize your room immediately. If it's within your level, and you have time, organize; if you don't have time, just maintain at that level and organize as soon as you get time.

When you try to keep everything pristine and perfect, you get too tired. And that's when the mess builds up and chaos reigns!

Perfection is the enemy of done.

So if you maintain your room in the maintainable entropy level, and keep it under your manageable level of chaos - your room will be consistently organized and neat! 🌻

What’s on my Radar

Feeling optimistic about 2023!

Been in a funk lately to push out productivity so I decided to take a fresh look at what I have going on what I need to keep on my radar. Going back to updating this monthly to reassess and see where I need to shift focus.

Health

Consume less Social Media

I have to be more conscious of the content I’m consuming

I can only take the other sites in small doses

Maintain Daily yoga sessions

Morning sessions

Start including bedtime sessions

Personal Finance

Finding ways to make my money work for me

Working on a stricter budget (Spending way too much in certain categories)

Travel Plans

Upcoming Trips

👩🏾‍🎓-✈️ Flight booked now just to pass this class

Touring the Grand Canyon

Family Vacation - Summer

Still looking for deals on tickets

Apparently it’s my project to find stuff for us to

Certifications/Career

Finance mentorship

Still waiting for applications

It’s 12 months long but you meet once a month (its gives Big Brother/Big Sister vibes and I actually like that)

Apply to Emerging Leaders Mentorship Program

This program is only 6 weeks and it’s jammed packed with interesting session for leadership skills and goal setting (Finance mentorship is less structured)

Role focus

For each job I like to have a goal of what I want to work on and for my current position is my business communication skills

Build effective organization skills

Build a solid foundation of understanding

I like the niche I’m in and I can make a career out of it (planning on staying for 3 and then assess if I want to continue)

Get as much hands on experience as possible

Prepare for new exam

Pricing materials

Plan to sit by October (if available)

Maintain Kanban for work

Maintain a habit of updating tasks when new sub tasks arise

Using it to keep my head on straight with side projects

Good things so far

Learning how to travel easier

Decided on photography as a hobby (great way to get me out the house)

Going to moms house every Thursday

Holy crap I finally made it to the last course for my masters!! (I had so many bumps and stops that I feels so good to be at the end!)

Journaling constantly but looking for new methods! (Suggestions always welcomed)

Proud of my progress and the person I’m becoming!!

Do you want to stay organized, but struggle to use planners? Do you have the best of intentions when you buy a planner, but find yourself using it inconsistently and feeling guilty about “wasting” that money? I have a potential solution. I present to you The Undated Planners!

They’re set up like any regular planner would be with twelve months, and days for each of those months, but the key is that you write in the dates yourself. So for example if you bought this planner in February 2023, you’d fill out the dates yourself and use it, but if you forget about it for all of March and pick it back up in June, you haven’t lost anything because the dates are blank. You would just fill out the dates for June 2023. You could forget about it for literal years and pick it back up without it ever becoming out of date and useless.

This is the one I use:

But there are a lot of different versions of it you could buy. I feel like this would be great for people who don’t have the consistency for a dated planner, but also don’t have the spoons to try something that requires more time investment like bullet journaling. You could even use it to get over the bullet journaling hump and jazz up the months and dates that are created for you. Plus they’re cheaper than a lot of dated planners I’ve seen, the one I linked is a little less than $10 USD.

Go forth and may the organization gods smile upon you!

any tips for first year engineering students? I’m struggling to keep up with everything and it feels like i’m scrambling to finish assignments and homework as opposed to actually learning 😅

hi! i hope you're doing well 🤍 i think the two key things that helped me stay organized was to have at least one place where ALL my deadlines are listed (i added all assignments from syllabuses at the beginning of the school year onto my Notion and then update them on a weekly basis in my bujo - lmk if a post about my Notion would be helpful!) and also to use a calendar to block out my entire life–so not just classes, but also class meetings, recruiting events, hanging out with friends, working out, and hours to study etc. i'm not going to sugarcoat it engineering is HARD AF but i believe in you!! i hope this helps, and good luck with your studies :)

BIZ CAFE EXPECTATIONS

Heroes and Legends:-In our Cafe, the organization really admires people who are great leaders, have entrepreneurial skills, and achieve success. These special individuals are like role models who inspire others in the organization. Their stories of success motivate and show everyone else what can be done with hard work and coming up with new ideas.

Sayings:-In our Cafe, they have some sayings that show what they believe in. These sayings are like rules for employees to follow. For example, they say "Think big, act bold" to encourage employees to set big goals and take brave actions. Another saying is "Fail fast, learn faster," which means it's important to learn from mistakes quickly and stay positive about growing and improving.

Customs and Rituals:-In our Cafe, they have certain things they do regularly that are part of their special way of doing things. One of these is the weekly team meeting, where employees come together to talk about how things are going, talk about any problems, and celebrate their successes. This helps the team work well together and help each other. Another thing they do is give out awards every month to employees who have done exceptional work. They do this to recognize and celebrate those employees who have made a big difference to the organization.

Artifacts:- In our Cafe, there are some special things that are really important to them. One of these is a big board that shows their long-term goals and dreams for the future. It's put in a place where everyone can see it and it reminds the employees about what they're working towards. They also have a special wall where they put up pictures and awards of employees who have done amazing things. This wall celebrates their achievements and inspires others to do great things too.

Disclaimer: none of these answers are official, and may not work for your particular use case. If there is a specific feature that an unofficial app had that you don't know how to replicate on the AO3, let me know in the notes and we might can crowdsource a solution.

A lot of people used the Archive Reader app to access stories on Archive of Our Own, and have been upset that the app is now charging to read longer than an hour a day. AO3 (and its parent organization, the OTW) has made it extremely clear in recent days that this app is unofficial and that there *is* no official app. They encourage people to use the website.

However, there are MANY reasons you might want an app, and in a bunch of those cases, there are ways to do those things without having to provide your login information to a random person running an app. Here is a round-up of solutions to the most common reasons I've seen people give for wanting an app instead of the plain AO3 website.

These solutions are based on the following assumptions:

You know what Archive of Our Own is

You often or primarily access it through a mobile device running iOS or Android

You understand what a browser is

You understand what a browser bookmark is

You understand what a site skin is

Edits:

Edited to clarify that you must be logged in to use custom site skins

Edited to add more tips and tricks from the reblogs

Edited to add new entry about notifications/emails

Edited to add new entry about reading statistics and the tracking thereof

I need a widget on my phone's homescreen, not just a browser bookmark.

You can do this with any website, not just AO3! Instructions here: https://www.howtogeek.com/196087/how-to-add-websites-to-the-home-screen-on-any-smartphone-or-tablet/

I need Dark Mode.

AO3 has a default site skin for Dark Mode, it's just called Reversi. Find it here, or at the bottom of any page on the website. https://archiveofourown.org/skins/929/

If you'd like Dark Mode on your whole browser (and you're on Android), sorrelchestnut has advice here: https://www.tumblr.com/sorrelchestnut/737869282153775104/if-you-want-dark-mode-and-dont-want-to-mess

I need to be able to read stories when I don't have internet.

Every work on the AO3 has a download button, so you can click on that and download the story for offline reading in the ereader app of your choice. More info on how to do that is in the AO3 FAQs: https://archiveofourown.org/faq/downloading-fanworks?language_id=en#accesslater

I need to be able to change the text size of the website itself.

If you have an AO3 account (and you should!!) you can do this with a personalized site skin! There is a simple tutorial here: https://www.tumblr.com/ao3skin/667284237718798336/i-have-a-request-if-you-dont-mind-could-you

I need to be able to change the text size in downloaded stories.

My personal recommendation: Don't download in PDF format. All the other formats you can download in can scale the text size up and down, assuming you open the work in the correct app. For me, I download works in EPUB format and read them on the built-in Books app on my iPhone. I hear good things about Moon Reader on Android as well.

I need to be able to replace Y/N in fics with an actual name.

ElectricAlice has a bookmarklet for that here: https://archiveofourown.org/works/34796935

I need to be able to save specific tags and not have to search them up every time.

If you have an AO3 account (which you definitely should) then you can favorite up to 20 tags which will appear on the landing page. The AO3 FAQ explains how that works: https://archiveofourown.org/faq/tags?language_id=en#favtag

I need to be able to save specific filters and be able to apply them to any tag.

Reisling's beautiful bookmarklet has you covered: https://archiveofourown.org/works/33825019

I need to be able to permanently hide certain tags.

The best option is adding this to your site skin. (Must be logged in.) Instructions here: https://www.tumblr.com/ao3css/719667033634160640/how-to-permanently-filter-out-certain-tags-on-ao3

I also hear things about the AO3 Enhancements extension (just for Android/desktop, sorry iOS folks): https://www.tumblr.com/emotionalsupportrats/686787582579851265/browser-extension-everyone-on-ao3-should-know

I need it to save my place on the page and not reload.

This is really mostly a browser error--Firefox on iOS does this to me A LOT. Your best bet is to download the work and read it in an ereader app. A lot of people also will make an ao3 bookmark and write in the notes section which part they were at, but that assumes you aren't falling asleep while reading. (Which is the main reason I have this issue, lol.) For more info on bookmarks, see the FAQ: https://archiveofourown.org/faq/bookmarks?language_id=en#whatisbookmark

I need it to keep track of which stories I've already read/opened/kudos'd.

If you have an account (which you should) then the "My History" page keeps track of every fic you've ever clicked on. No, it isn't searchable or sortable, but it does exist. For fics you've kudos'd, I have yet to find a solution for iOS. For desktop or Android, you can use this excellent userscript: https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/5835-ao3-kudosed-and-seen-history

@the-sleepy-archivist and @inkandarsenic have a solution for iOS here to use userscripts: https://www.tumblr.com/the-sleepy-archivist/737895174683885568/this-is-a-great-guide-one-thing-i-can-help-with and https://www.tumblr.com/inkandarsenic/737827438571192320/the-user-scripts-will-also-work-on-ios-there-are

I need an app because the website's search is terrible.

(I genuinely don't understand this one but I have seen it multiple times so on the list it goes!!) The search bar at the top of the screen is a keyword search. If you'd rather search within a specific field (like title or tag) then you'll want to click on the word "search" at the top of the screen and select Work Search or Tag Search. To search users, use People Search. To search Bookmarks, use Bookmark Search. (If this is you, please tell me what the heck you mean by "search is bad" and how an app helped with this.)

I need to be able to sort stories by date posted/number of bookmarks/alphabetical/etc.

You can do this using the filters sidebar. Pick a tag you want to filter on (like a fandom, character, or relationship) and then click on the "Filters" button. The sidebar will pop out and you can sort and filter on a boggling array of specifics. A good filtering guide: https://www.tumblr.com/saurons-pr-department/718665516093472768/if-there-is-something-you-dont-want-to-see-in

I need to be able to mark stories to read later.

AO3 has this feature built in! If you have an account (which you should) there is a "Mark for Later" option on every work.

Edit: Thispersonishuman reminded me that History and Mark For Later can be disabled, so if you're not seeing the Mark for Later option, check your settings.

I need to be able to listen to stories using text-to-speech.

Microsoft Edge web browser has a built in text to speech function. Supposedly it works on both iOS and Android, but I have not personally tested that. iOS also has a native accessibility feature in settings for text to speech that will work on the Books app, so I assume Android has a similar functionality. A bunch of people in the reblogs have more in-depth Android recommendations here: https://www.tumblr.com/protect-namine/737957194510794752/seconding-voice-aloud-on-android-for-tts-my, https://www.tumblr.com/smallercommand/737884523093704704/i-use-voice-for-tts-on-android-its-got-some, and https://www.tumblr.com/doitninetimes/737869463749263360/for-text-to-speech-on-android-you-can-also-check

I need to have in-app notifications for updates/I can't ever find story updates in among the rest of my emails/checking my email stresses me out.

Set up a separate email address using a free service like gmail, and use that email address JUST for AO3. Then the only emails in that inbox will be your story updates. I use Apple's Mail application for all my inboxes, but it's very easy to use the Gmail app instead, and you could log in to JUST the ao3 email and set it to notify for every email.

(Also as a general PSA: don't use your work, school, or military email as your AO3 email. Just don't.)

I want statistics like how many hours I spent reading, how many words I read, what my most read tags were, stuff like that.

So we've finally hit something that isn't easy and that requires a hell of a lot of manual work. Short version: AO3 does not track this data because they don't want to. (Mostly due to privacy concerns.) The lack of this tracking is a feature, not a bug. You can crunch these numbers yourself, but it will take a hell of a lot more effort, and it's something I personally found is not worth the effort the couple of times I have tried to crunch those numbers. If you are willing to download your history to an actual computer (not a tablet or chromebook) using Calibre, you can get a rough idea of your most popular tags via their tag browser, but it won't play nice with typos synned to a Common Tag (Canonical Tag/filterable tag) like ao3 does. (If anyone has used an app that gave you stats on this, please let me know in reblogs/replies/via ask how that worked because I am very curious.)

I need an app because <other reason>.

The AO3 Unofficial Browser Tools FAQ might cover your use case: https://archiveofourown.org/faq/unofficial-browser-tools?language_id=en If not, give a shout and we'll see what other tumblr users suggest!
