How I Stay Organised

Hey!
I would describe myself as a semi-organised person, I like to be able to plan things and get my life sorted out so I don't have to worry about forgetting to do something or forget about an event. I don't think my system is foolproof but it works and that's all that matters to me. So here's how I keep my life organised for anyone who wants to know including my friends.

I use two different systems to organise my life in all aspects, college, blog, hobbies and events which are my bullet journal which I have been using for over a year now and I've now added Google Calendar too. I didn't want to use Google Calendar at first as I didn't want it to take from my bullet journal but it actually adds to it.

I feel like my bullet journal is pretty easy to understand. In my monthly spread, I put in all my events for the month and I reference my future log and semester at a glance. Then with my weekly spread, I put my events for the week normally at the top of the day and then my to do's underneath.

Now you are probably thinking, where does Google Calendar fit into this? I use it to visualise my week, I have several different calendars just to keep things separate, Life, College and Blog. I have my college timetable for every week and edit it to what labs that I have on a particular week. Then I put in any events like if there is a Harry Potter meeting or a college event that I want to go to and I know that I have time to attend. Then I add times to do college work and blog work. My Blog calendar contains my blog post schedule, Instagram post and story schedule. I found I needed to add my Blog to my calendar as I would always forget to do something and I do have time. The other calendar I have is for the gym, it has all the different classes that I would be interested so if I have some time and want to work out, I can see which ones are on and what suits my schedule.

I normally like to plan my week the Sunday before, I'll create my weekly spread and see what's on that week and what needs to get done. I make sure that I haven't added anything to my Google Calendar that isn't in my bullet journal. I find that in a rush I add an event to my Google Calendar instead of writing it in my bullet journal. I don't always plan each day the night before as I normally have the majority of it done, the only exception is when I am starting to do some study

This system works for me at the moment and I'll change it when it stops working. Unfortunately, it doesn't prevent me from procrastinating as I still do that a lot but at least if I know what needs to get done I won't procrastinate as much.

How do you stay organised?

Thanks for being awesome,
