I'm so grateful for having discovered bullet journals through tumblr a couple years ago because they really improve my quality of life compared to normal calendars or journals and yeah mine never looks as pretty as the ones you see online but it's functional and it's fun and that makes the difference
wooooowoooooo its finally spring time and im no longer freezing because the sun is out!!!! it’s also Easter break which means no uni work for a bit and ive been gardening a lot so I have a ridiculous amount of mosquito bites :(
haven’t done a good old classic “this is what my monthly bullet journal set up looks like” but it’s not much of a looker nor that original tbh. So enjoy these 4 near-identical pictures of a mediocre bullet journal ig.
got the mandatory monthly view bc my brain won’t work without one, I honestly can’t distinguish time unless I see it in that form. You can say 15th of december all u want, but I will have no clue where we are standing in relation to that date unless I see it in calendar mode
then it’s trying to keep track of running/going to the gym bc fitness babe xx. (jk, bc it’s the only healthy thing that remotely helps with the anxiety lol)
got more trackers for things bc mentally I’m at the “I need a gold star for everything I do or I won’t do it” levels and this does the same job. Also got a study hour graph, bc graphs <3
and the last one is a weekly spread that I haven’t rly filled out bc I’m not rly scheduling to do’s rn (bc I’m behind on everything and overwhelmed and just trying to get as much done as I can. So it’s just like for marking down what I got done that day to see kinda where I average and if I have any hope to get everything done (and my dudes I gotta say, it’s not looking too good tbh))
I utterly, genuinely hope that every hopeless romantic girly ever, finds a guy who would listen to all her blabbering, keeps telling her how much he misses her and how much he loves her, brings her flowers cuz he just looked at them and it reminded him of her, take her on little dates, teases her about silly stuff but tells her every morning she is the best thing that ever happened to him
i picked a book up from the imperial supply store at Galaxy’s Edge when a family member took me for an adventure of a lifetime to visit there. I think i’m going to make this my medical journal for recording important reference info, progress, etc. Writing in Aurebesh and Mando’a is very theraputic, and a little more private when i’m journaling in public spaces.

(then maybe doctor's will actually be interested in looking at my notes, because it looks cool. And I'll have more fun with it.)
the not-fun part of new monthly spreads is trying to work out why last month's version didn't work the way you want to and how to *quickly* fix it to test this month instead.
i get sooo worried about going off my adhd meds, but honestly i feel like i sometimes exaggerate how bad my adhd is because the last time i was unmedicated for a long period of time (right before i was diagnosed) i was also literally suicidal and had severe anxiety which uh. definitely exacerbated the lack of focus 🫠
