I've made index cards highlighting the most important contents of each one of my notebooks. Still haven't decided if I want to keep them all in the same place as a general archive or tuck them into their corresponding books for easy browsing, but I'm in love with them.

(Huge thanks/shoutout to @petite-gloom for talking about these particular index cards on her blog awhile ago! I discovered them thanks to her, and I couldn't be happier ♡)

#I could probably make two of each. one for the book and one for the archive. #but I don't think I have the time patience or wrist strength for that #notebooks #index cards #personal

this is my new system. did bullet journaling, got burnt out by it. did notion, find it too hard for my brain to focus. have made my own filofax by just buying a cheapo a5 ringbinder and relying heavily on cute lil index cards. this is working!!

Journal Hacking

I’m not sure if this will make sense to anyone else but I wanted to document something I’ve been trying lately with regards to planning/bujo/journaling type things. Even if only so I can go back and see what I did lol. 

So I have been bullet journaling in some form on and off since 2014. So it’s been a minute. And while I like it on the whole, it’s just not been working out for me lately. I tried a Hobonichi weeks mega and while I really like some aspects it’s just not enough room for me. My handwriting is not that small. 

I ran across a simplified GTD-like system called Ugmonk Analog and I liked the principles (even if I didn’t like the price tag) so I adapted it to my new journal. 

Ugmonk’s Analog system has three cards - Today, Next, and Someday. I’m just using notecards I have for this. I put the Today card on my cover with washi tape so I can see it without opening my notebook and easily write things down (my pen is in the loop to the side there). 

The Next and the Someday cards - along with some others are in the inside. I made the pocket by taping one of the notecards horizontally and taping the two outside sides. 

The long bit of text on the inside cover is the Heart Sutra. I like to write it on notebooks I’ll be using regularly so I pause and reflect on it more regularly. 

In addition to Next and Someday cards, I have a blank one for scratch paper and one with my ideal timelines for doing home and personal tasks. The personal side is lacking, I’m kind of in a state of transition on that so I’m unclear what I want to do regularly. The house stuff never happens all the way but I like knowing what I’d like to do when I’m adding tasks to my Today card. 

I think my favorite part of this system is the memory keeping part. It’s not super elegant or pretty but on the pack of each today card, I record any notable things about the day on the top (period, mood, fights, symptoms) with a hashtag, the weather, and then I fill the card with what I did that day. It’s been very helpful so far for jogging my memory throughout the week. I like that I can pull them out and see as many as I’d like throughout the week. I plan on digitizing them at the end of the year and keeping the last year as a hard copy. 

I keep the card in this little green box. Might decorate it soon. 

I don’t really feel like sharing my finished cards so hopefully this gives you an idea. I like that I can see what happened in a day and what I got done on one card. 

So yeah, I’m really liking it so far. I still do long form journaling (Morning Pages type things) in the notebook itself. I actually turn it so the short side is on the top and it’s kind of like writing on an A4 sheet of paper. I do that so I don’t start auto rereading old journal entries when I’m flipping through for other stuff. I index and thread anything that isn’t journal entries like I would a normal bullet journal. Right now I have some random notes for subject I’m studying, some pen and paper games I’m playing, and writing notes. 

I’m also going to add either an A6 monthly calendar or print my own calendar set up to add to the back pocket for scheduling things in advance. I know everyone uses Google Calendar but I never check mine much. So people can schedule things with me on my Google Cal but my source of truth will be the hard copy. 

Some resources I took inspiration from in setting all this up: 

- OG Bullet Journal - I’m surprised by how many people I’ve met who don’t know that bullet journaling isn’t just making your own pretty planner but an actual system (no shade to the art journaling folks, I’m just not one of them). When I say I use bullet journaling, this is what I’m using. Check for some of his more recent videos if you like it, he’s updated it. 

- Ugmonk Analog - slightly expanded to-do list system on paper; the product seems nice but they’ve actually been very supportive of people making their own knockoff versions for personal use which is cool to see

- Everbook - I think if I had more to juggle, I’d upgrade to something like this system. This guy has so many neat ideas sprinkled throughout the channel. He also really supports people making their own version. Love a good open source ethos. 

Anyways - hope this helps someone!

Nicolas Gatien made an excellent instructional video on creating your own "antinet" or analog zettelkasten. (Follow his channel, too. He's aiming for 1000 & currently has just 26 to go!) Awesome learning tool/note taking system. I kinda like this better than the commonplace book strategy. Well, I guess this is like a commonplace book, but unbound & sortable.

look if nobody makes animatics of those Glam Kitchen and B. Dylan Hollis cooking videos but it’s Xie Lian’s kitchen I WILL BE FORCED TO DO THEM MYSELF.  And you DO NOT WANT THAT.  I CANNOT DRAW.

Getting back into the swing of things

So like Chuck here says, writing is hard. I haven't really been able to get much writing done recently, but I am starting to get back into the swing of things. It has been a journey but I found out that the thesis does not need to be 100,000 words like I thought it did so my goal is 85 pages and I am on like page 40. I also had a pretty major break through on where I want my plot to go so that feels good.

I am also toying with the idea picking up an old work of mine and trying to rewrite it to a much higher standard, that what I was doing in high school when I was first writing it.

I think that it will help me with getting this story to progress, and I might try and do some prompt writing everyday for a month or so to try and get myself in the habit of writing every day.

I would also love to get a habit started of journaling in a notebook every day so that my brain can process things easier without having massive concentration issues.

School starts back up in like three or four weeks, which is both terrifying and can't come fast enough. Work has gotten more intense as time goes on and I am hoping to be able to let things calm down just a bit. But since we are getting into the fall and winter months things will likely only be picking up instead of slowing down.

But yeah, Hwang Hyunjin will help keep me company as I go through and write these first draft words and build these habits.

Buddhist Monthly Focus

I've always really liked how Catholics have the monthly devotions. I set up an index card system to try out this year and saw some people who had bible verses in theirs so it inspired me to come up with Buddhist monthly focuses for meditation and reflection.

Quotes for this card were retrieved from Access to Insight's page on the First Noble Truth. They have pages for each of the other focuses too. I'm looking forward to reflecting on it. I made sure to put the action I need to focus on doing at the top so I can keep it action oriented.

The monthly focuses for those who are interested are:

January - First Noble Truth

February - Second Noble Truth

March - Third Noble Truth

April - Fourth Noble Truth

May - Right View

June - Right Intent

July - Right Speech

August - Right Action

September - Right Livelihood

October - Right Effort

November - Right Mindfulness

December - Right Concentration

I think that through this I can reflect and work more deeply on "the whole of the path" throughout the year. This will be in addition to taking refuge, taking precepts, and reciting the rememberances. Just an extra way to set my intentions each day. We'll see if it helps!

I love index cards 🎨😊

…. And the grungy effect of this flower stamp on this typewriter text.

Fun fact I made this on a whim just to test out the stamp 😉

Both the flower stamp and index cards were thrift store finds.
