The bullet journal is probably something you’re no stranger to. It’s been circulating around the internet for a while, and it’s one of the main subjects of studyblr posts. However, when I started college last semester, I found that I no longer relied on my bullet journal to organize my tasks and structure my responsibilities anymore. Instead, I tried out a bunch of productivity/task-organization apps: Taskade, Actions by Moleskine, Any.do, Todoist, Wunderlist. None of them seemed to have what I needed, so I decided to give the bullet journal method another try.
The first thing I reflected on was why I stopped in the first place. At first I thought it was because the method itself allowed for a lot of freedom and I’d get confused as to what things to include and how to structure everything. But then I realized that it was in fact because I had previously been bullet journaling for other people instead of myself. Since I had what one could call an ‘artsy bullet journal’, I tended to focus more on the artistic aspect so that it would get more likes and reblogs after I posted it, when I should have been focusing on how it can organize my life. I realized that the bullet journal is a tool; the focus should be on life itself, not the bullet journal, but you can use the bullet journal to add value to your life.
At the beginning of the year, I deconstructed my organizational needs and attempted to apply that to my bullet journal method. I stopped looking at other people’s bullet journals and started thinking about my own needs and preferences. I thought about how I would best organize my time so that I could accomplish all of the things I want to accomplish in the different aspects of my life.
The fact that I only have 2 main supplies allows me to bullet journal anywhere, anytime.
Simply having the tool to organize your life isn’t enough - you should also have a practice, a habit, for using it.
One thing I’d like to work on is future logging. As of now, I think in terms of months, since the my main commitment at the moment is my education, and monthly planning has worked out for me. But I think if I’d like to tackle on larger projects - e.g. my YouTube channel that I just started - I’d need to do a lot more future logging.
Another useful thing I want to try out is to summarize my journal entries in the form of notes. Recently I’ve been audio journaling (15-20 minutes of me talking to myself), and it’s been pretty effective. However, I have no way of ‘skimming’ the entries like I would a written journal entry. Summarizing them would help me retain main ideas of each entry and remember the things I said that are or could potentially be important and useful.
If you don’t think your bullet journal is adding value to or improving productivity and organization in your life, I think you should reconsider the way you’re approaching the system. I found a method that works for me; yours might be different. While it can be beneficial to draw inspiration from other people, do whatever helps you the most, not what other people tell you you should be doing. After coming up with an appropriate structure, make sure you maintain the practice.
It´s been 7 years and I´ve never been as “still not over this” as I am today
Prompt 6: " What does your shadow do while you re sleeping?"
The rain poured down onto any unfortunate soul that night. The only source of light in the lonely room was the lightning from the sky. A little girl turned and toused into her bed, kicking the sheets and her tedy bear onto the cold floor. Unknowngly to her, something watched over her little outburst in pity, right on the ceiling was that little dark silhouette that followed behind her back since the day she was born, her shadow. It swore to keep any monsters from her dreams and from under her bed away and it was going to keep its promise. So he got rid of both and watched her sleep peacefully again, and again, and again...
"So man, what does your shadow do while you re sleeping?"
" What any good friend would do, keeps me safe and sound when things go bad.."
"Whatever you say dude, let s keep watching the news... wait, another crime in the neighborhood? I wonder who could be the criminal this time..."
" hi...hi...hi...hi"

Like the calm after the storm, everything became silent for a moment. Just for a moment. The next thing that the lady saw was a blurry figure sprinting in her direction. She managed to dodge the weapon, a knife or maybe something else, she wasn t sure at the moment. All that she knew was that if she didn t dodge it next time it would attack her, there won t be a next time. She needed to stop this madness right now. But something inside her gut told her to not hurt that person in front of her. A second. A second of hesitation on her part and the figure took that to it s advantage. A sharp pain erupted from her stomach area and the world was suddenly spinning around her, making her feel dizzy. The world became darker little by little as she hit the ground with a thud. The last thing that she remembered was a pair of cold, murderous eyes starring down into the light that was slowly leaving her own and a blood curling scream that cut thru the darkness that became her world.
Inside of a dark room it was past midnight when a little girl suddenly woke up from sleep screaming and trembling like the autumn leaves blew by the wind. Her mother heard her and rushed to her side right away. It was the third night that her daughter had a nightmare, the same exact nightmare, and woke up screaming for her. The poor girl had that nightmare since she was really young, but back then it was maybe once or twice a month, now at age 6 it became more frecvent, like 3 or 4 times a week. The mother kind of knew what it was. Old stories said that soulmates that died tragically would haunt their reincarnations hopping for a better future for them. So she was afraid for her daughter and the future prepared for her by the odds. But right now her ray of sunshine was too young to understand the meaning of all of this so she decided to wait until the girl would grow old enough to try to warn her about her nightmares. But that day never came. The mother tragically died in an accident and the girl grew up along with her demons. Now aged 16, she still had them, but she managed to learn to live with them so they didn t keep her up at night anymore. But she never found out who that blurry figure was. But she stopped trying to find out about it when she met her soulmate. Whenever she was by his side, all the nightmares would suddenly disappear and she could rest in peace. But the peace wasn t long leaved. He was also part of her dreams, but not in the way she would think. All that he wanted was to live his happy ever after with his chosen one. But one thing that neither of them took into consideration was the fact that history is bond to repeat itself. And he learned that the hard way when he found himself laying on the ground with her bloody body in his arms, crying his eyes out.
They were on a date at the park, it was already dark outside and they wanted to stargaze since the night was perfect in their opinion. Everything came crashing down when he went to pick a pretty flower that he saw earlier to give it to his girlfriend. He was awat for only a second when she was attacked by a madman with a knife. He heard her screaming and rushed back to her. A second of her turning her head away from the attacker and a moment of hesitation on his part gave the madman enough time to plug his knife deep in her stomach, making her nightmares become reality right before their eyes. Then he flew away, leaving the two lovers alone in the park, only with the moon watching over them. In her last moments she recalled the story that she knew all too well. It happened almost the same. Only that this time, not murderous eyes bored into her own, but teary, broken and lovely eyes that she adored oh so much. So with a final ' I love you' she closed her eyes and fell into the darkness. The last thing that she heard was a blood curling scream.
Hope that you liked it and tell me your opinion if you want, but please don t be rude, ok? Until next time, see ya~

He considered a hand drill, a tape measure, a corkscrew, and the iron staff we’d almost died retrieving from Geirrod’s fortress. He threw them all to the floor. “Nothing!” He said in disgust. “Useless junk!”
Perhaps you could use your head, Hearthstone signed. That is very hard.
“Oh, don’t try to console me, Mr. Elf,” said Thor.
Pages 369-370
“Regardless, he must summon it for the ceremony! The bride has the right to insist. The symbol of my hammer is always used to bless a wedding. If Thrym has the real thing, he must use it if you request it. And once he does, we’ll move in and kill everyone!”
Except us, Hearthstone said.
“Exactly, Mr. Elf! It will be a glorious bloodbath!”

“That will never happen!” Thor said. “Loki’s place of punishment is in a completely different location, sealed long ago by the gods. Loki is bound even better than Fenris Wolf.”
And we saw how well that worked out, Hearth signed.
“The elf speaks wisely,” Thor agreed. “There is nothing to worry about.”
Bonus Ft. Alex Fierro page 368
“We have other problems to discuss, and not much time. Thrym is expecting his bride to arrive tomorrow.”
Alex folded her arms. “It’s decided, then. I get to marry the big ugly guy.”
Yes, you marry him, Hearthstone signed. Many happy years and fine children.
Alex narrowed her eyes. “I can see I’m going to have to learn sign language. In the meantime, I will assume you said, Yes, Alex. Thank you, Alex, for being so brave and heroic.”
Close enough, Hearth signed.
