Journal Entrie

I've found a bullet journal prompt that works for me. It's become easier to make a habit of doing it, though it can be hard at some points because my last journal had so much emotion and abuse from my past relationship. Writing is starting to feel normal again, and I am having fun now. It's not like it's a chore or making me feel worse after writing. 💌

i was setting up my bullet journal for June this afternoon and still thinking about previous posts I reblogged about the gentrification of journaling and what is 'necessary' to start journaling, so I decided to do something very unusual for me and share a few completed pages. The top two images are from my current bujo, and the bottom two are from my last one. I had no pictures of my first one, which is a shame. You'll notice I have completely dropped the trackers, rearranged the layout (no more monthly pages!), and started writing snippets about my day in the space leftover. For a year, I also wrote my readings for class in a different space than daily chores, which helped me distinguish between meetings and homework. In my first bujo, I also had a separate section for recording what I ate for dinner (which was sparingly used).

Bullet journaling may not seem worth doing anymore for me, since I have all but resorted to a common weekly planner layout without any bells or whistles, but I still find it works for me. It doesn't take me very long to set up a month (maybe 20 minutes?), nor do I have to stick to a layout if I choose to switch it up. For instance, the top right photo shows that I tried a-page-a-day set up to little success - I wanted to fill all that space with detailed journal entries as a new year's resolution, but by the time February rolled around, I was back to writing two or three bullet points, if anything. I reverted back to weekly spreads when planning the rest of February. I also fill pages from the back with notes from lectures, meetings, and brainstorming sessions, so I usually finish a journal in a year's time. All my supplies are from my undergrad days, and I'm not sure I'll rebuy things like the mildliners or the huge Stabilo pen pack when they dry up.

Does having the markers make it fun? Sure! Will I someday returned to printed planners? Maybe! Do you need this stuff to be a proper bullet journaler? Absolutely not.

I spent most of yesterday afternoon capturing some of the prompt lists that I keep religious and digging out of my archives. This way they are at my fingertips.

Thought I'd share:

Following on from the bullet journaling gentrification post & your own thoughts on the topic: as somebody who posts their BuJo online, how do you deal with the pressure of creating “aesthetic” pages? Do you have to remind yourself to treat your BuJo as a tool? If so, how do you do it?

(Asking as somebody who managed to get back into bullet journaling thanks to a 5-year-long break from social media, but is now itching to start posting journaling content again)

(Scared I’ll fall back into crippling perfectionism)

thanks for the question! my answer may be a little disappointing. the answer is, i very, very rarely post my bullet journal online. you can see just how much i reblog other people's journals versus my own by scanning the tags. this is partly because i extremely value privacy and am too paranoid to post a final page (even though i think that is the prettiest stage) and because i don't find my pages all that interesting before that point. i tried posting clean (without a schedule/personal information) spreads on instagram a while ago, but i fell into the same frustration of feeling like i was posting the same thing over and over while also too uncomfortable to post something beyond that.

in a lot of ways, recognizing other people's journaling styles as theirs and not true to my vision of a bullet journal helped - but the main way i keep the pressure off is to think of it as an extended to-do list/diary combo and not dress it up as a grander concept. the way i have made my bujo my own is to allow myself to mess up, frankly. i write in pen, and while i hate having to scribble out misspellings, i've come to terms with it as a living document. part of my struggle with extremely aestheticized pages is that it feels like making gorgeous dollhouses that no one can live in - i feel like nothing i write will live up to the frame. distilling my practice down to really simple things i like (color combinations, neat pens, lots of check boxes) helped me focus on it as a tool for my own work as well as a place i can record my life without writing long, prose entries about my day (a journaling practice i never stuck with for long).

i still struggle with the aesthetic value, especially when colleagues comment, 'omg your handwriting is so nice!' or "i could never make something that pretty!' but ultimately, as long as i can read my handwriting and feel organized, i'm alright. my main advice is to start small and see where you grow. having an audience is less fulfilling than making yourself excited to return to the practice.

tl;dr: try to find what excites you about bullet journaling and what draws you to the practice functionally. thinking of the book as something that lives and breathes through your life changes (like you do!) helps, but if you need to keep all or some of it private to learn what works for you, then do so! no one else is using your journal, after all.

Love that Tim Drake is the kind of person who's entire life is on fire and he's like yes. A list will fix this. And then generates the most depressing list the world has ever scene while like, 90's skateboarding shredder music plays in his brain because he's soooo nailed it and this is totally gonna fix his life this time.

Day 414

It's been almost a month since I started using a journal to keep track of things and I’ve discovered things about myself.

Or, maybe, I just realized the things that have always been an issue, but it’s always been written off as a vague failing of mine.

Let me explain.

I’ve always been unorganized (which makes my work life fascinating because I’m super organized with that shit). Ever since I was little my binders would be a mess, papers would be everywhere, and at one point in my life I had a daily planner that my parents had to sign off on because I wasn’t doing my homework. 

Part of these failings were shoved aside or excused due to the stupid amount of hospitalizations I had growing up, but the other reason, or so I’ve been told growing up, is that I’m lazy. And I accepted that, because it was, as far as I was concerned, true. I would prefer to play video games than to clean my place, and I just can’t seem to be bothered in organizing anything.

Yet, when I found my stride academically speaking, I never had this trouble. Same thing with work, and at the time I figured it was because academics and work had higher stakes. I would be wasting money if I didn’t graduate from university (and disappoint my parents), and work is how I can live on my own (and not disappoint my parents). 

I forgot (or maybe I ignored) the fact that I arrange my working life, very differently than my personal life. Like I had mentioned previously, I make lists for everything, and I live off of those lists. When I’m working, it’s fine that they’re all digital, I work at a computer for work, so to have those lists digital, makes sense. They’re in programs I have to have open all the time and work in anyways. I forgot that in university I was given a daily planner for free as part of being an accessible educated student, and I lived out of that planner in university.

I had, from the time I graduated from university to a month ago, never had any equivalent that I could live out of. 

The point I’m trying to make is, I’m learning that I’m not lazy, but I certainly have ways of thinking that make it difficult to function the same way my parents do. So I've been spending my week off setting up a new journal. The green one will get use as an art journal, but I wanted to set up my journal in the way I need it.

It may need adjusting as time goes on, as I figure out what works and what doesn't, but it's a start.
