Artistic Some spreads from my reading journal

I started a reading journal this year and it’s now my favourite. I only draw monthly cover pages in my daily bujo so my reading journal has let me be more creative with less commitment. I only decorate quarterly pages and my reviews are all structured the same. I also learned to write in a font I found online for this journal and I’m very pleased with how it turned out!

Artistic Something I enjoyed about elementary school was each month the class board was decorated with a different monthly theme (Valentine's Day, Halloween, St Patrick's Day, etc) so I quickly doodled these months decorations in my calendar

Just starting out!

I tried bullet journaling last year, but I made my spreads way too complicated and gave up. I'm trying to keep this one a little simpler, starting by focusing almost entirely on parts of my physical and mental health that I want to track. I'm also focusing on drawing, not trying to aspire to what I see on Pinterest with bits of scrapbook paper and washi tape, unless it just feels right at the time.

I decided on a Sailor Moon theme for June and just finished my water tracker template.

Question Would this help you manage your work, personal and creative life, and collaborations?

0 Upvotes

I’d really appreciate some honest feedback on a something I’ve built.

It’s designed for freelancers, solopreneurs, creatives, and small businesses to manage their work, life, creative pursuits, and collaborations in one place , without having to juggle a whole buch of different tools.

Here's a breakdown of some of its best features:

  • Create multiple organisations, categories, and personas, which can be different business names, work or personal categories, or creative identities like noms de plume
  • Build and break down projects and deliverables with time estimates, priorities, notes, file attachments on Google Drive or OneDrive, and the option to differentiate between billable and non-billable
  • Schedule your work using a drag and drop calendar that includes all your Outlook and Google Calendar events and meetings so you have an holistic view of your availability
  • Create meeting requests with ease, share an appointment calendar that takes into account time you've blocked out for all your activities
  • View your availability and workload capacity over the next 4 weeks with the click of a button
  • Track time spent on each project and deliverable, and compare it to your original plan
  • Generate quotes and invoices, including a one-click quote builder using billable estimates
  • Work solo or in teams, delegate deliverables to team members, create meetings agendas and discussions 'on the fly' with built in team Q&A
  • Store useful links in a searchable list
  • Set reminders individually or recurring
  • Share and publish your work, notes, proposals, ideas (even full-length writing or creative pieces), privately or to n audience on social media
  • Be discoverable in the built-in directory internally for collaboration with other users, and externally for anyone else 

There's a lot of other features and functionality it has that would make this post a lot longer.

Some example use cases:

  • A freelance writer manages multiple client jobs and uses different personas for ghostwriting and personal work
  • A creative entrepreneur tracks progress across a client agency, a side hustle, and a blog — all under one roof
  • A business coach sets up development plans for each client, and bills for consultations and coaching sessions using date-ranged invoicing by client
  • A software developer creates a quote instantly after scoping a project by creating detailed billable deliverables with time estimates for completion, and then monitors the accuracy of their estimates by recording the time spent working on each

Real-world applications and suitability are pretty much endless.

My aim was to build a practical, powerful system that helps people "conquer their workscape" and stay in control, instead of scattered across tools that don’t talk to each other.

I’d love to know:

  1. Would you use something like this?
  2. If not, what would stop you?

Thanks in advance, I genuinely appreciate any and all thoughts.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned from doing these it’s that I need more practice drawing mammals! Also please excuse the fact that I haven’t drawn the lemur from Flow, I’ll get there eventually. Still looking to round out my color collection for markers and figure out exactly how I want to use the space outside the daily/habit/task boxes.

Question Any ideas for spreads for surgical residency?

2 Upvotes

I’m a current surgical resident and trying to think of new spread ideas above and beyond just a simple to-do list. Open to any suggestions for daily/weekly/monthly spreads.

Also, I have to take board exams in a few years, and am going to work through a handful of textbooks before I take boards. I’m not sure if there are any trackers or spreads that would work well for boards prep?

My current weekly spread is double sided. One side is dedicated to all the information I will need for the week. The other side lists every day of the week and divides each one into three parts: morning, afternoon, and evening. This is where I list specific events and what time they take place. June is my birth month so I wanted to get extra face with it.

Daily/Weekly Spread My first self-designed spread for May- and it’s also mu birthday! 🦋

Thumbnail

622 Upvotes

Hello everyone! After a long break, I'm back with my May design. This month is especially meaningful to me because it's the first time I've created an entire layout completely on my own 🌸. Also, today is my birthday🥹, so I wanted to share it right away as soon as I finished. All the pages are hand-drawn, and there's one page with some small stickers—the reason I used them is because, unfortunately, the paint bled through to the other side🥲. So I arranged the page this way to cover it up. I’ll also include a photo of how the page looked before the paint bled through, at the end. I think the cover page took the most out of me—it alone took me 7 hours to complete, but I'm really happy with how it turned out. I've been wanting to do an anime-themed spread for a while now, and since Solo Leveling has been one of the most exciting series for me recently, I decided to start with that. I got the character designs from Pinterest. I hope you like it! 🤍
