Plan With Me inspo

hi guys.

funny seeing me posting in the afternoon. 

I woke up early today, I guess when you're as old as I am, waking up early by nature is the norm. I needed to pack some things for storage but of course I procrastinated for hours. By 10am baru tah ku get up from bed and started the packing. it didn't take long tho, by 11am, I took a shower and prepared my stuff for my journal.

which brings us to our blog titled today! Plan With Me inspired by AmandaRachLee

first video I watched from her was actually the one with How to Calligraphy tutorial. at that time, I didn't really understand how youtube works. I only subscribed to her last year and since then I've been watching her do her Plan With Me series.

As far as I know, up until (maybe) two years ago, I only ever know one type of journaling; pouring my heart out in a book. So, I only ever enjoyed Amanda's videos thinking I'm never gonna do what she was doing coz I feel like her style is more for people who needs to organize their life. I am not saying I'm organized, you dam well know I am not. LOL besides, what the cook am I supposed to organize, I don't have an hectic life.

but last August, I was like, "Let's follow Amanda" coz she was doing the 80s theme and it was mostly patterns, I thought it will be easy enough for me to follow.

I know Amanda's do a Calendar for the month, Mood Tracker, Habit Tracker, weekly spread, sometimes Brain Dump, and sometimes Playlist.

Initially, I made it so complicated in my head. thinking about what use is it to me to be doing a calendar, weekly spread, brain dump, etc? then I thought, the journal I'm going to use is still very private and I just wanted to add colors into it (not that I don't already have pasted pictures in it), soo I said to myself, 'let's just do the cover, the quotes, habit and mood tracker, and playlist'. and that what's I've been doing for three months. 

Here's a look at my recreations:

August 2019: The 80s

the pastel tho. also, I have most of the colors Amanda was using. I felt 'included' or 'fit in' for once. LOL

I somehow skipped September. Even I don't know what happened in September.

October 2019: Ornaments.

Yeah, don't ask. 

November 2019: Coffee and Tea.

definitely my favorite. LOVE the color scheme.

For the first two months, as you can see, I missed 'filling in' my trackers. I guess I forgot. You see, I don't really write on a daily basis anymore so obviously when i don't write, I don't open the journal, and when i don't open the journal, I don't fill in.

That is why, for November, i decided to set an alarm to remind me to fill in my trackers.

Also, please ignore the previous Mood Trackers. I can't figured out how I was feeling most of the time, especially when i only fill in once every two weeks. I mostly choose neutral to take the easy way out. LOL 
Henceforth! for November, I'm gonna write down what ever or how ever many moods I have for the day. Yes, I have a lot of mood in one day. i don't know how you can just have one. unless people are doing an 'overall' mood. I don't think I can 'overall' my mood. Lemme try and adjust with this November entry first. See how it goes.

As for the Habit Trackers, this is the trickier part.
I went from having 9 Habits, to 6 Habits, to 4 Habits. 
obviously from experience, I realized, i don't have many habits. Unless you consider 'Procrastinating', 'Sleep', or 'Daydreaming' as a habit. Well i think it is, just, I prefer not to glorified those habits.

I add my own spread, Book Read.
I only done two so far. both I have shared in previous post but I'm going to share the second one here.

These two Playlists didn't ikut any theme. I made them when I feel like it.

Yes, it looks like I only listened to certain songs for months and months at a time.

I'm that unchanging.

also, NCT-Jaehyun!! is love!!

And that is all I have for now. Maybe i'll update on another post when I have made more.

So,
what do i gained from doing this 'Planning'?
well

1. it makes me more excited to open my journal; both to write or to try and 'scrapbook-ing'
2. it gives me something to do
3. it helps me occupied; especially the Book Read part. I may not be writing in my journal but at least, I'm filling in my time with reading and not stuck on my phone most of the time.

Of course, it's not for organizing or managing my time this thing that I'm doing. I've done that during work hours, I'm not gonna do that after work hour too.

Now, question of the post: Do you do any journal entry? 
if  yes, what kind? 
if no, would you like to try the above type of journal? 
Let me know in the comment.

Until next time, 
ciao~
