A Month Of Bullet Journaling: Week Three

This week I discovered I probably should've bought a normal journal.

In case you missed how I prepped or why I'm doing this - check out my first week and my prep week here:

A Month Of Bullet Journaling: Week Two

Anyways.

This week I wanted to dedicate everything to finding a layout I would use because I wasn't actually using the previous ones. Plus, figuring out how to add things throughout the week was hell.


LIKES

- This design worked for being able to put things together. I had a place to put tasks for the week, for specific days, and I could even glance and know where I needed to be at what time.

- Having two whole pages was really helpful! More space meant I didn't have to screw myself over trying to write a note.

- I came back to thing page almost daily. I didn't always remember to check off everything, but I did feel like I accomplished a lot more because I was constantly reminded of things on this page.


DISLIKES

- I wish I had a different notebook. The spirals didn't work too well for thing one.

- The design overall for this page could be hella improved. It was OK for this, but I think I would want to put a lot more effort into it if I did this on the reg.

Week Four

This week I wanted to stick with the two page layout and see if it was really beneficial to have more space. Would it really make me continue to use the planner daily?

I wanted to adapt the original idea from the bullet journal where you take a task on one day and move it to the next day. The video here explains everything in detail!

In addition to my weekly layout this week, I also intend of starting a habit tracker. A lot of people have found them useful in many ways, so why not give that a try to!


Stay tuned next week for my very last article in this series reviewing the whole process.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
