5 Topics To Bullet Journal About When You're Bored

In This Article:

Long ago, in a Starbucks within a mystical city, there was an unproductive woman starring at her journal, wondering what she could fill her time with. Minutes droned on as her brain turned to mush. All of a sudden, she began to think about her favorite veggie sausage and how she managed to go a week consistently peering in her freezer only to find an empty package set there as a reminder.

How can one be a productive addition to the adult workforce if she is unable to manage shopping for veggie sausage? So she began to write her grocery list, and didn't stop at that. Below are the top five subjects to write about in a bullet journal!

1. Shopping List

This is simple but can be beneficially time-consuming as well as entertaining; for you have the ability dissect your weekly food intake, and regulate it in an orderly fashion that provides you with the resources to save money and only buy exactly what you need.

I love doing this, because in addition to just my grocery shopping I include my other food/drink spending at coffee shops and other fast food joints, that devour my paycheck and minimize this with wallet-friendly alternatives.

2. Daily routine/ To-do list

For those of you with downfalls in the same areas as me, such as remembering to write down important details in your agenda book, the prospect of scoping out your workload, academically as well as personally, can tremendously help to relieve stress and prevent you from taking a second to stop and scratch your head.

3. Simple joys in life

♫ THESE ARE A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGSSSS ♫

Whenever I'm feeling down and forget what life is about, I find it uplifting to sit down and ponder the small aspects of life that often slip by unappreciated. Just look around you, whatever it is, your family, laughter, the air, there is a never-ending supply of goodness all around, and sometimes are you need is to pick your chin up and experience it.

4. What you have achieved and where you want to go

Self reflection is a critical part of comprehending cause and effect and the power oneself has in their life. This type of bullet list can help discover accomplishments that you forgot about, or point out the lack of achievement you've seen toward your goals. Either way, self criticism and praise shows you where you came, where you wanna go, and the steps you are taking to get there.

5. Books you want to read and places you want to see

Never forget that education is the backbone of our human society, and a way to preserve knowledge to aid future generations. Learning should not stop at school, and it's important to find your educational niche and topic you crave to dig deeper into. In the same manner, travel is all about hands-on experience, and provides a deeper understanding of a concept that cannot be entirely absorbed through the pages. So pick up a book, and get out there into the world!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
