[2/100 days of productivity]

I discovered Bullet Journal about a month ago. I was just watching videos on youtube and this one video has just inspired me to make one bullet journal.  I did start one. But it turns out this ‘bujo’ isn’t really for me. (I plan to print a bunch of printable planners available here on studyblr and insert it in a binder later) However, while I was searching for more inspirations, I found this idea. The idea of an artsy/creative journal. I just started this journal today. I cut out old magazines; the fashion and photography section. Some motivational notes I’ve made myself (I’m thinking of posting it here) and the typical list to buy. It wasn’t that creative, but I’ll try improve from time to time.

{How To Start A Digital Bullet Journal}

Before I start explaining how to write a digital bujo. I have to say thank you to the lovely @sushi-studies because of you I get to know GoodNotes so I can start writing xoxo

☞Tools

I’m using iPad Pro 9.7-inch and Apple Pencil. I never used other brand’s stylus before so I’m sorry I can’t suggest or compare the stylus for you.

☞Apps

-GoodNotes 4

This is the app I’m using to write my bujo. The GoodNotes app is actually a simple note taking app. You can create lots of different notebooks for yourself. It has different kinds of style of papers that you can choose. It give you a feeling like you’re writing on a notebook but just a digital one. -Photoshop Mix -Procreate

☞Why I Love Digital Bujo

No need to bring lots of things in my bag anymore!!! Before I have my digital bujo, I need to bring lots of things in my bag (my bujo, pencil case, stickers, tapes…) Plus if I want to add some pictures on my bujo. I need to go find a printer to print it out first and then stick on. It just waste me lots of money and time on it. Lots of tree die, too. But after I go with digital, everything just perfect♡♡ Although the feeling of writing on the real paper and writing on a tablet is different. But I love it so far!

☞How I set my digital bujo

My setting is just like everyone else. For example, I start a monthly calendar to start a new month. Habit tracking and then weekly planner. My weekly planner change every time when I start a new week. I keep trying new setting when I see someone’s awesome post on tumblr! All the lovely posts give me lots of inspiration.

♛I guess that’s it! Not sure about what else do you guys want to know. And there’s nothing else I can think of to share with y'all right now.

If there’s anything you want to know, ask ask ask! I won’t bite :) Even if you’re too shy then just be one of my nonny ♡ xoxo

hi lovelies! 

i’ve been getting a lot of messages about my bullet journal and how i make it so today i’m here to explain the whole process! first of all i was inspired by @jellybujo and @effyxlabujo - make sure to check them out! lets get started! here is an overview of my bullet journal so far:

1. what materials do you use?

i use my ipad mini and a stylus for my bullet journal but you don’t necessarily need a stylus! it makes it easier but it isn’t necessary!

2. what apps/websites do you use?

for my actualy bullet journal i use the app goodnotes 4, it’s on the app store for $7.99, it is quite pricey for an app but it does a really good job. i have tried others like notability ($8.99), penultimate (free) and pages ($9.99) and i prefer goodnotes much more! 

unfortunately, goodnotes doesn’t have the option to make tables or draw shapes so i use the pages app to make things like my timetable and habit tracker, as well as making the boxes i use to write my tasks on my weekly spreads.

the website i use to make my collages (front cover, titles, weekly spreads) is called polyvore and basically it has a bunch of different images you can choose from (as well as import your own), different effects, coloured boxes, text, overlays, etc. 

3. how do you make your bullet journal?

  • front cover/monthly pages

for my front cover i used polyvore and i basically just added a magazine article and some other black and white images and then over it i placed a picture of myself as well as some glitter and confetti overlays.

  • legend/timetable/habit tracker

for the titles, i used polyvore again and followed the same process as above – black and white images, coloured block, title, overlays. other than that i just make tables for my habits and schedule and write my legend using emojis and coloured circles!

  • weekly spreads

finally, my weekly spreads are basically just a bunch of random images and doodles that i put together in colour schemes for it to look pretty! just be creative and create whatever you want! after that i add 6 boxes (i divide my week in all the weekdays and then the weekend) and that’s where i write my tasks!

  • monthly spreads

i got these printable pages from www.lilamiller.me!

4. anymore questions? be sure to send me a message!

i’m always available to help anyone with questions about my bullet journal! thank you guys for reading and i hope this helps you to make your own!

love, maria x

11-1-2016 // New month, new week, new spread! I really like sticking pictures in my bullet journal and using my Crayola Supertips to add some colour :) Not sure what I’m gonna do with the empty space on the right page, maybe another picture or a nice quote.

When I started this blog a year ago, I never thought I’d have nearly 14k followers a year on!! I’ve put together this post on my one year anniversary to help new studyblrs get to grips with the basics of studyblr, begin studying more effectively and get started with sharing original content.

Who do I follow????

What are those weird apps/websites everyone uses???

What’s all that snazzy stationery??

How do I start studying more effectively???

How do I post original content??

  • reblog don’t repost!! This is an obvious one but if you’re new to tumblr altogether you need to know that it’s never ok to steal someone else’s content. Also don’t reblog from weheartit because all the stuff on that website it stolen!!
  • the most common posts on studyblr are photos of notes - it’s a good idea to make sure the colours in your photo are aesthetically pleasing, and that you have a good source of light. Natural light is best but lamplight will work as well. If your photos need more light, increase the exposure on your camera/phone. People don’t need to see the whole of your notes, try taking photos of them from different angles to show off the bits you’re most proud of! more tips in this post
  • share some motivational quotes - I use picmonkey to design quotes
  • make a masterpost of your favourite resources
  • make a study playlist on 8tracks and share it on your blog
  • tagging is the most useful thing ever - tag your posts with #studyblr and #studyspo so that other people in the community can find you! More tags = more ways for people to find you, so make sure to add plenty of tags to everything you upload. If you tag a studyblr in your post, it’s likely they’ll reblog it.
  • open your ask box - it’s a great way to get suggestions for new posts, and its always lovely to hear from other studyblrs in the community

Welcome to the studyblr community, good luck with your studies!

Hello, beautiful studyblr community!

So, lovely @educate-enrich-energise asked if I have any advice for her, since she has a new studyblr - I decided to make a masterpost for her! I hope you’ll enjoy this one and find it helpful! If you have any questions, you can message me anytime! ^^

0,5. What is a studyblr?

  • Studyblr = Study + Tumblr
  • Community of studyblr is made of everyone who has a tumblr related to studying, productivity, etc.! 99% of people in here is kind, nice & polite!
  • Article about us!

0,75. Why should I create one?

  • You’ll end up with bunch of study buddies - and make new friends!
  • You can share your awesome accomplishments and wins!
  • Looking at studyspo makes you more motivated to go study, increase your productivity, etc.! 
  • You can find here awesome masterposts, study tips, tricks, school hacks, etc.!
  • There’s so much inspiration!!! <3

1. Creating a studyblr:

CHOOSING AN URL

  • The best you can is to get it somehow related with studying, productivity, success, etc.! But please, don’t feel pressure to do so! You can honestly choose whatever you want and like!
  • Loads of people use [their name]studies/studying or [something you adore]studies/studying
  • Loads of other people also somehow use Hermione Granger’s reference
  • Loads of another people use deformed forms of ‘studyblr’ or 'studying’, etc.
  • Loads of different people use references of their favourite stationery/drinks/artists/famous people, etc., that are related to knowledge and education

GRAPHIC ESSENTIALS

  • Some people prefer photos and some graphics, as header and icons, and it’s completely okay!
  • You can for sure choose whatever you want to!
  • Don’t feel a pressure to make your icon a selfie or flawless graphic!
  • Lots of studyblrs doesn’t have it related with studying and education! As I said, the decision is up to you!
  • You can find some free themes for your blog here!

2. My blog is all set-up. What do I do now?

INTRO POST

  • Lots of blogs start their “path” with an intro post
  • You can introduce yourself by saying things that you’re comfortable with!
  • It’s also common to list subjects or courses you’re taking
  • You can add up links to your other socials + main blogs, so we can follow you!
  • List people who inspired you when making your blog or your favourite studyblrs!
  • Some predication about what you want to post will never go wrong!
  • I love reading every random fact about yourself, you want us to know, as well!

MAKE FRIENDS

Lots of people don’t know how to, or are shy to do so, but here are some tips you might find useful!
  • Don’t be shy! Yes, I know how hard it is - I’m probably the most anxious person. But in all honesty, studyblr community is so welcoming! And it will never let you feel like your are left out. 
  • Also, please don’t be afraid to message me! I’ll for sure be your friend, if you want to! <3
  • Be yourself. It’s all about that. Just be who you truly are, don’t be afraid about that. Nobody will judge you here! And if somebody will do, block that somebody.
  • If you don’t want to make some informations about you public (such as age, or country you live in…), just say that you’re not comfortable sharing! We’ll respect it!

FILL YOUR DASHBOARD

3. What should I post and how can I get followers?

REBLOGGING POSTS

  • Reblogging is the fastest way to share anything you like and that inspire you, and you’ll also get to know lot of people!
  • You can reblog whatever you want to, it doesn’t have to be studyspo and motivational quotes 24/7
  • Study-related-content-posts are photos of studyspace, stationery, notes, etc., motivational quotes, study music, masterposts, printables…
  • REBLOG, DON’T REPOST - so, for the people who don’t know what that means, please note that reposting is saving somebody else’s picture/text/masterpost and then posting it and claiming it as yours - reblogging is basically when you click the 'reblog’ button on Tumblr, so it will appear at your blog
  • Don’t remove captions when you reblog, because it’s part of what owner of the picture posted and it’s rude to do that!

ORIGINAL POSTS

  • You can post whatever you want to!
  • It can be text post where you rant about your day!
  • It can be masterpost!
  • It can be photo of you studying, your notes, etc.!
  • It can be a study playlist + another one!
  • It can be printable!
  • It can be motivational quote! (You can create one here!)
  • Anything that will come in to your mind & it also doesn’t have to be study related all the time!
Tag your original posts with #simmietakealook , so I can see them and reblog them!

FOLLOWERS

  • When you post original posts lot of people can find you and follow you, so that will definitely help!
  • Be nice to people!
  • Keep your blog active (I also recommend to use queue, that will be running nonstop, so your tumblr will be always active!)
  • I think that’s it! As I said, being yourself is completely only thing that you need.

4. What is that cute stationery and where can I find it?

  • First of all, you don’t need to spend $100 on stationery. You can post original content whether you have or don’t have expensive stationery! Your productivity will for sure not change if you are going to have macbook or not. Don’t feel any pressure about that!
  • You can find places to get them here!
  • Make some DIY school supplies?
  • Bullet journals are planning systems which you can fully customize. Learn more here and if you can start one, watch this!

5. How about the apps and extensions?

  • I believe that everything you’ll need is here!

Owners of listed masterposts + videos: @etudiance , @obsidianstudy , @studiyng , @tastemysuccess , @studyign , @hermionegoals

So, I believe this is everything you’ll need in your first days of studyblr! I really hope that this helped you, and that you will find studyblr community helpful!

love, Sim.
