Rorganized - R Organized

alright, I managed to pull myself together and finish preparing and recording a video presentation on generative learning. i feel kind of bad knowing all these great strategies for understanding and retaining material, but only ever doing summaries! anyway, i also prepped my bullet journal for next week and it seems like I have another grueling week ahead work-wise... but i’ll manage, and i also have a few diy projects to look forward to this week!

PS: let me know if you’re interested in a post on learning strategies!

5/100, 20.02.2020 after finishing up some minor tasks, I finally get to sit down and work on my thesis. received a phone call today that finally confirmed my enrollment into law school this year! super excited to start this new chapter, moving and all that good stuff that is to come. for now, I’m enjoying this frothy coffee and my new calendar that I got yesterday. (moleskine, weekly calendar, a long-time favorite of mine 📖) 

34/100 days of productivity

a bad anxiety day today, with my final manuscript deadline tonight. i managed to get it in early so i can spend lots of time relaxing tonight

Back to online school again... currently reading The Ancient Paths: Discovering the Lost Map of Celtic Europe by Graham Robb.

i’ve been spending some more time on my bio notes and the sunlight was just divine today…

how i use notion #1: mega assignment list

i promised i would update this from last year, and decided to do a walkthrough for @sleepanon!

i’ve taken my school bujo-ing digital for the past year, so i’m going to create a mini-series of how i’ve tinkered with notion to make it work for me! there’s a fair learning curve to it, so my inbox is open for questions if you have any from my posts (not notion in general. ..i’m not an expert lol).

step 1: start a new page! under database, select table

step 2: rename the labels to assignments and class (leave Files alone) for now. you can also title the page and add icons/covers

step 3: select the files label, then under ‘property type’ change it to ‘date’ (this is for deadlines–i start with my official syllabus dates)

ALSO a part of step 3, but after changing to the deadline property, add another one! click that next label, and follow the same menu as above, but select checkbox to give you an option to ‘complete’ your tasks:

step 4: in the ‘class’ row (the first blank after the label), type in a course name to create a tag. once you do so, you can select the tag to edit it or change colors // you can repeat this step as many times as you need to for your assignments. i like to do my entire semester at once since i work ahead of the syllabus, but it might be good to take it month by month!

step 5: now, let’s add the calendar view. on the lefthand side, ‘add view’, name it, then select calendar (not just highlight like me, but click it!)

step 6: you should now see your assignments on the calendar. on the right side (top) of the calendar, click ‘properties’ and turn everything on!

you can also filter the calendar to only show completed/non completed tasks or by class:

and you can click on any assignment to open it, and add further properties:

again, if you have any questions about this, please let me know!
