The first pages in my bullet journal - It’s already helped me remember so many tasks!
An example of how I set up my bullet journal - a fancy page with an overview of to do list and column setup for detailed day to day tasks. Read more about how I use bullet journals here!
BULLET JOURNALING
Watch the original video here ( x ) Before I saw this video, I always kept a book for my homework. I use grid paper and it’s perfect for BJ… Heh. After watching this, it helped me to start developing a system I’m currently satisfied with.
To-do apps don’t work with me. It always just sits on my screen with a notification and swiping something doesn’t feel as satisfying as crossing it out victoriously with a pen. ^_^
LEGENDS ( you can also do it like this ) Helps you quickly figure out what certain tasks are at a glance. The colours are for my spiraldexes which I will not be discussing unless you guys request it. c:
Pages This is basically what my pages look like. I write the numbers at the lower corners.I also added sticky notes for extra stuff like memorizing my moral definitions. :p
Calendar ( x ) If you watch the video, you’re supposed to list out the dates but I prefer both, so I draw a calendar and paste it in my book and list out all the really appointments/stuff I have to do in my drawn calendar and some not-important-but-still-worth-noting notes in my list-calendar.
Index Just write down the pages as shown in the video. Pretty simple.
Other things you can include: I also stick some motivational images on the last page and stuff like that. Spiraldexes can be fun but they tend to be a little time consuming to draw or at least, I can seem to use them effectively. :c
Have pages especially for grocery lists/ grades/ etc.
Page full of favourite recipes
Stick an envelope at the back cover and fill it with motivational inspiration!
Stick printables ( x ) ( x ) ( x ) ( x )
Start a goal/wishlist!
Good luck! :*

Wake up early. Not as early as during school term - term break is not a time to be waking up at 6am daily - but not at noon either. Aim for around 8-10am, so you’re not sleepy af when you start work, and you haven’t slept half the day away.
Slacken a little. Don’t overwork yourself!! I find a good method is to restrain your studying time to within your normal school hours (8am-6pm for me - which gives plenty of time to relax and watch tv shows in the evening), and study for about 2/3 of that time. This way you’ll still have covered at least several hours of work, but won’t feel exhausted :) (oh yes, if possible review your notes before sleeping to make them stick)
Scheduling. Have a masterlist of tasks to complete/goals to achieve during the break. Work out a rough estimate on how many days are needed to do complete all you have to do, and spread your tasks out evenly, preferably by weeks. Remember to work around your dates with friends (or significant others)/vacations! Keep to your goals so you have more free days :))
Study groups. During breaks it’s much much easier to arrange study sessions with friends. It’ll feel a lot less like you’re wasting your break, and you can catch meals with them before/after/during your session, so you’ll enjoy your study days more.
Go out/invite in/chill. It’s term break!!! Go out with your friends/get them to come over!! Or if you prefer having some alone time, have the day to yourself. At least 1 every 4 days, more if possible! If you’re part of a group activity that trains frequently, this can be skipped, but shouldn’t be.
