TIME MANAGEMENT USING BULLET JOURNALS
With tests being written, tasks piling up, and exams around the corner – time-management skills are essential in order to keep your head above water! A bullet journal is a customized organizer and a powerful tool that can help you manage your time effectively.
Here are some tips on how to make your own bullet journal:
First things first, you’ll need a book. Why not get an A5 notebook from Spar or CNA – something light, portable and easy to store.
Next, list all the important dates you have coming up in the form of a to-do list. Having a to-do list in your bullet journal helps you to clearly see the tasks at hand. A tip is to prioritize your tasks from the most important or difficult, to the least.
Try colour coding and symbols. Research shows that the brain notices and remembers colour. Therefore, if everything in one colour has to do with one thing, it’s easier to remember the concept. At the same time, patterns, exclamation marks for important notices, and check boxes to check off tasks as they are done – all assist in easier planning.
You can also include study notes, inspirational quotes and motivational pictures.
Time management at university is essential, so it’s important to find out what works best for you. Bullet journals are just one of the many awesome ways to get organised.
