When I Should Be Studying

This blog post is going to explain why I have switched from paper planning to digital planning. I will also be sharing my favorite digital planning tools and how the first three weeks of planning digitally went. Why Make the Switch to Digital Planning? The reasons I switched from paper planning (traditional planning) to digital planning range from financial to functional. As someone who is working on her environmental studies degree, I am always looking to make changes in my life that benefit the environment instead of harm it. Over the past six months I have been working towards going as paperless as I can. What this means is that I am finding alternatives to traditionally paper products. While taking a look at my life and where I use the most paper I found that planning is one of the areas of my life where I was using and disposing (always recycling) large amounts of paper. So I made the decision to try out digital planning instead of traditional paper planning. Read the next...

These simple black and white weekly bullet journal spreads are perfect for when you are lacking the time to create a elaborate spread or if simple spreads are just more of your style.  I have created all of these spreads with enough space from daily tasks, daily food logs and even enough space at the bottom to add other trackers, a notes section or somewhere to track your weekly goals or to dos. The rectangle in the top left hand corner is meant to write when the week started and ended.  How You Can Change Up These Spreads From Week to Week I love that I can take these spread and use them as templates for other weekly spreads. These spreads also allow you to easily add color to them to change up the spread from week to week. If you find that one of these spreads works the best for you, you can always change up the look from week to week by experimenting with different fonts, color combinations, doodles, banners, and digital stickers or pictures.  What...

Student Bullet Journal Spread Ideas  Just like I have done for my past bullet journal blog posts ( Ideas for Digital Bullet Journal Spreads , Bullet Journal Fitness and Workout Spread Ideas  and Six Weekly Bullet Journal Spreads ) I used the GoodNotes app and the PILOT G2 Pen Stylus to create these spreads. The other type of stylus that I use is the Bargain Depot Stylus 2 Pack  from Amazon. I like that this stylus comes with extra tips to replace the ones that rip. These spreads can be used for high school or college students Even though I created them in my digital bullet journal, you can recreate them in a paper bullet journal. Semester Schedule Being able to visualize your semester schedule in this formate can be very helpful. Make this spread your own. You can even add in what time you are going to get up, when you want to leave for class, when you are going to go to the gym and when you are going to eat meals. Get creative and add as m...

As someone who is working towards her environmental studies major, I have been working to find different ways in which I can practice sustainable living while living in a dormitory. I have complied a list of a few different tips and tricks that you can starting using while in a college dormitory and continue to implement into your life afterward dormitory living.  Tip 1 So that I did not have to purchase a coffee mug and a bowl, I found a coffee cup that is big enough to function as a bowl. Not only am I not making two purchases, but I am also practicing a minimalism by using this one product for two purposes. The first mug is similar to the one I purchased. Before going out to purchase a new mug try scouting out thrift stores. Purchasing from a thrift store is a method of shopping helps you to reduce your ecological footprint. Tip 2 Instead of using paper plates and plastic silverware, purchasing plates and silverware is another tip t...

Six Weekly Bullet Journal Spreads I have created six different weekly bullet journal spreads. I made and use the spreads in my digital bullet journal. The app used to make these spreads is GoodNotes . The stylus I use and highly recommend is the PILOT G2 Pen Stylus . Another option for a stylus that I think does the job just as well as the Pilot G2 Pen Stylus is the Bargain Depot Stylus 2 Pack  from Amazon.  In this post I provide a variety of different spreads (horizontal and vertical) along with different themes for each spread. 1 Page for 1 Week This first spread is a simple spread that can be used to track daily tasks, appointments and a food log for each day. I would recommend this spread for those who have just started using a bullet journal. The spread is not too complicated to recreate and is perfect for beginners for for a week when you do not have the time to make an intricate spread. To make this spread your own you could swi...

If you want to purchase some of these spreads you can buy the digital bundle from my Etsy shop: Simply Paperless .  I had created six different bullet journal fitness and workout trackers/spreads. These spreads were made in my digital bullet journal using the GoodNotes App.   I highly recommend to use a stylus when using GoodNotes as a digital bullet journal. For this project I used the Adonit Dash 3 Stylus , which I highly recommend. I also recommend the Bargain Depot Stylus 2 Pack  from Amazon. Daily Workout Plan This first spread can be used to plan out what exercises you plan to workout each day of the week. I would recommend this spread for those who are just starting to workout. I did not created the workout that is used as the example for the content of this spread. The workout is from Pintrest Workout Plan .  Workout Tracker This next tracker is in the format of a monthly calendar. In order to track the different workouts...
