One Tool Helping Me Beat Stress and FEEL GOOD About It
Struggling to juggle deadlines, fitness and health goals, and life? I'm sharing how I use the Bullet Journal Method to keep me organized, lower stress and track my PhD milestones—while I train for trail-running and gymnastics! Life is hard. Grad school is hard. Seeing your own progress and growth is important for staying motivated when things are tough. A single notebook has become my brain’s external hard-drive. In this video, I walk through some layouts I rely on: vision boards for conference goals, time-blocking, annual reflections, and themed collections for YouTube stats, research papers, and fitness progress in one place. If you’re a student, researcher, or busy professional looking for productivity, stress management and intentional growth, I think you should try out this system! My journaling practice has helped me tackle those scatterbrained thoughts and stay focused on the things that matter most to me. And best of all, it's helping me tackle guilty feelings of "not doing enough" because I can see and reflect on the progress I'm making. 📖 Chapter Guide 00:00 Falling Off the Wagon? 01:16 Bullet Journal as a Stress-Management Routine 02:22 The Journal I Started With (Dingbats Pro) 04:15 My Robotics Conference Vision Board 04:52 Book Notes 05:50 YouTube Channel Analytics Page 06:25 PhD Milestones and Non-linear Progress Tracking 07:14 Weekly Time Blocking 08:15 My Next Journal (Dingbats Earth) 10:18 My Adult Gymnastics Journey and Progress Page 13:50 Annual Reflection on the PhD Program and Paper Reading Notes 14:30 Great Quotes and Decision Making Fatigue 15:28 This Is The Most Important Tool In My Toolbox 17:10 Bloopers 📓 Notebooks * Dingbats on Amazon - https://amzn.to/3DkFO8J * Dingbats US Store - https://us.dingbats-notebooks.com/?ref=codemechanics The Bullet Journal Method Book * https://amzn.to/41qv4gZ - Hardcover * https://amzn.to/4khKRYp - Kindle Edition * 💰 Budget Option: Local Library or University Library #bulletjournalsetup #minimalistbulletjournal #journalingforproductivity #gradschoollife #productivity #bulletjournalmethod #journalingseries #phdstudentlife Please note that this description contains affiliate links that help you find the items from the video and support the channel at no cost to you.
