How to write Diaries, Journals, and To-Do Lists.

Hello, as you've seen in the title, this blog is mainly about how to write journals, diaries, and to-do lists. Actually, there is no specific way at all in writing these kinds of stuff. But I recommend you to follow my tips, to make writing it simpler and more organized. If you have any questions or need examples you can ask in the "Ask your queries" part of my blog.

Writing journals and diaries can help you understand yourself easily since you can always go back to your diary or journal if you ever feel lost and demotivated, writing on them can also help you express your feelings freely. Making to-do lists can help you stay organized and can always make good use of your time, you wouldn't ask silly questions like "What do I do now?" when you can absolutely figure that out before asking so.

Okay, now that you know that. Let's know how to write them, shall we? On every first page of your diaries and or journals; write your favorite quotes, your goals, and your deep why.

How to write a deep why? Why write a deep why?

Your deep why has to be true and something that actually inspires you and motivates you to finish your goals; your deep why should also have something next, something that shows how your next goals are going to be once you've achieved the first ones already. This is important so you won't ask yourself "What comes next? What do I do after that? Is that my only purpose?"

Now, let's talk about our typical diaries.

Aren't they just so tempting to read? Well yes, 'cause what we expect in diaries are secrets. Though, a diary shouldn't just be filled with secrets. I mean you wouldn't have enough secrets for every page, will you? Diaries should be filled with our exciting reflections every day. Sure, you can write your secrets there from time to time, it spices up your diary. And don't worry about how you write it, just stay creative and write on it as if you're telling someone the story straight up, act as if you're diary is your most trusted friend. Ask yourself questions, ask about your day. Then answer them in your diary. Let all your emotions and feelings out, be free. State that you're okay and what made you feel that way. <33

How about our journals? What's the difference? Diaries simply document what happened on a specific event, it also shows your personal thoughts and reflections on the event. Basically, a diary is just to improve your emotional health by being able to let it out. While journals contain the same thing, but it is used for personal growth, development, and improvement.

It's more appropriate to write your deep why in your journal. In every event, write all the details you can't forget and don't want to forget, tell the truth and write how you felt. Write your reflections and things you think happened to you for a reason, and state the reason. Write mistakes you've done and write how you can improve from them. Write your goals and how you can do them without you giving up on them. Probably, write motivational quotes. It's very simple to write them, don't think of it as a priority think of it as a privilege, writing them and expressing them so well is a privilege. You don't need to do it, but you should try to do it.

Enough of that, what are to-do lists? Personally, to-do lists make me motivated and productive. It helps me stay on momentum. How do I write them? Well, I state the date then the task and its details then I state the time on when I should do it then finish it. Give yourself enough time. I recommend practicing being time-pressured, it's hard at first but once you get used to it. You'd finish tasks as fast as a blink.

Fill your to-do lists, try to stay busy. Make sure to take enough breaks though.

Here's my example of a to-do list:

To Do - October 24, 2021

❏ Study for Math Test 7am - 9am

❏ Study Science 9am - 10am

❏ Do 2 Science Homeworks 10am - 12am

❏ Take a Break (Celebrate your Birthday!) 12am - 2pm

❏ Do last Science Homework 2pm - 3pm

❏ Exercise 4pm - 7pm

Jogging

Cycling

Yoga

Quote of the day: "If you spend too much time thinking about a thing, you’ll never get it done."

Yes, I do add quotes to my to-do list. So I can see them most of the time, and be motivated. You can also write details on each task but I prefer only writing the details if I need to be aware of the process on how I should do the task.

That's mainly all for today, can I just ask how did you even bother reading a blog this long? I'm just kidding! Thank you for reading! My next blog would probably be about "Learning during a Pandemic" the blog would be inspired by something we discussed in English class a week ago. See you then!

[charlottestudiesxsimplydana]

Hello! Sorry for not posting for so long. :’D

Note: This isn't really a blog it's just a random post I want to share.

My activities and homework from school were piling up a bit, but I was still able to finish it. And if you’re experiencing the same thing, don’t worry cause if I can do it then you can do it! Remember to make to-do lists. o(〃＾▽＾〃)o

Alright, so for today’s post I would just like to share my very short essay from an activity in our school. We were asked to answer the question; “How are you faring so far in online distance learning? What do you feel about it? How does it affect you? Share your thoughts and experiences to your group.”

I want to share this with you, so you’d also feel free to post your answers (anonymously) in the “Ask me your queries” area. This activity helped me reflect and actually dig in deep into how I actually feel and felt about online learning in the midst of a pandemic, and maybe it might help you as well.

I sincerely thank and give credit to my English teacher for providing this question and allowing us to communicate with our classmates, it helped me get rid of the tension I was feeling about the piled-up activities. (hehe)

Here’s my given answer to the question, you may use this as an example or reference if you are ever going to answer the question as well. <3

I also recommend making questions such as these where you know you will reflect on your day and then write your answers in your personal diaries, this activity can help you understand and be aware of yourself.

So far, online distance learning did not affect me so much, despite all the changes I was still able to adjust emotionally and physically. I only acted as if I were in face-to-face learning even at my home. I did this to try and understand the situation we were all in. Although yes, it’s indeed possible for me to develop all sorts of sorrow because of the feeling that I lack communication amid the pandemic while feeling quarantined and trapped in my own home, and I did but it was easy to surpass with the help of my family. At first, I thought I didn’t know how to socialize, but thankfully when I met my new classmates; they’re kind, trustworthy, and fun to be with. I feel glad that now, I’m slowly adjusting to my new school, I’m slowly figuring out the systems and I’m able to make new and better friends.

"If I were to choose three emojis to represent how my group feels what would it be and why?"

It would be these three emojis, 😓😰😵.

The first emoji shows a sad and or disappointed face. I chose this emoji because of my group's feelings of being overwhelmed because they feel stuck and out of place. They would experience piling of activities and untimely dues of homework.

The second emoji represents their feeling of being unsure and terrified. Simply because of the unfamiliar systems this school provides of what they aren't used to yet. This emoji can also represent how they would sometimes feel as if they're already developing all sorts of mental health issues such as depression, social anxiety, and anxiety itself. They are experiencing mental health issues that they ought not to have for their age.

The third emoji looks to be dizzy. I chose that to represent my group's feeling that they aren't able to give themselves enough attention and they'd only focus on their homework and activities. Dizziness can also represent confusion, they feel confused about everything that is happening currently. A thought, thinking they've already gotten used to the new online distance learning, but after going to a new school with new faces, new things, new features, new platforms... it's no wonder they feel a sudden confusion.

All these emojis seem so negative, but it's normal to happen at first. Though, after we get used to the new systems we can change a few of those emojis into positive emotions. But now that we're in high school it seems that stress is already expected.

It's so easy to Socialize!! : Socialization

It's so easy to Socialize!!

Hello!~ Me again, Dana, hehe. In this post, I'd only be introducing to you how to socialize simply and freely.

Sure, you can say that friends are unnecessary but actually, you need them in your journey in life as well. You may not need them as much as you need your family and you may not need your family as much as you need God. But they three are the ones that should be the most important to you... other than food. :))

If you have friends, that's great! Although you don't need a lot, honestly one is enough but you should be sure that that one friend would be with you at all times. You're not sure, are you? Then it's okay to grab another friend. Still not sure? Of course, you shouldn't be, because you don't have to rely on them as much as you need to rely on yourself.

Why would you think you have no one to talk to? There are seven billion people in the world and thousands of them near you, and a few of them you can talk to. It may seem so hard to find someone to talk to this pandemic, but this is one of the reasons why the internet created so many platforms to communicate. I don't recommend making friends with a stranger online because sometimes the internet can be ever so fake.

How about this? Find your friends during work or school online.

Super easy! Just make sure you find the right one; the one that will influence you how you want to be influenced. Finding friends is as easy as learning how to write, it's to know what flow your hand should do to have to find the perfect form of a letter. (It's to know what flow your friendship should go to find the perfect friend.)

Are you an introvert? Are you timid? Do you find it hard to socialize?

Well, guess what? You just have to be you to find the real friend, the real friend that would accept who you really are. Just like a family member should. :))

Who am I : Understand your Emotional State

Hey! Welcome to my second blog. This is still Dana, the writer, and would forever be the writer. ; P

In this blog, I'd give you tips on how to understand yourself. This is important for a start because understanding yourself can save time and leave more time for productivity. It's also as easy as 1, 2, 3s and A, B, Cs; but your perspective depends on your personality. If you still find understanding your emotions hard then your perspective is a beginner or a pre-schooler if you may call it. Now, I know you find understanding your emotions and feelings hard but I also know you have an idea on how to because you know yourself better than anyone else does.

Like a pre-schooler, maybe they've heard what 1, 2, 3s and A, B, Cs are, right? Then if we take the perspective on you, a beginner, you have an idea and experiences that you knew you felt either a feeling of sorrow, anger, fear, and or pleasure. In this blog I'd only be showing you how to easily know how you feel, but these tips are based on my experiences so it may or may not work for you, but... it would never hurt to try, would it? Anyways, let's start!

Firstly, if you are confused you might feel a sense of wonder and you are also able to ask questions that could make you more and more confused until you spent the whole day asking questions and not answering the questions.

I recommend writing on journals, diaries, or simply notebooks even. Because this can be a reference and a guide to understanding how you feel most of the time. Now, your diary, journal, or notebook doesn't have to be like your notebooks from school. It just needs to be specific, organized, and fun. I'll post a different blog about how to write a journal, a diary, or a notebook about yourself.

Secondly, if you are happy you could feel a sense of bliss and productiveness. You'd feel like you would want to do everything all at once, but end up not doing so because you couldn't feel and plan you were happy at that moment.

So, if you already feel you are happy, make sure to stay organized. Write a to-do list perhaps. Honestly, writing a to-do list can help you stay on track and motivated. Just simply putting a checkmark on those little boxes saying "I'm done with that!" followed by a sigh of relief.

Thirdly, if you're sad you'd feel a lack of motivation and can't do anything at all for the day. Well, don't get caught up by that sadness it'll only slow you down!! Here, I recommend talking to a close relative or a family member and even your closest friend.

Think you have no one to talk to?? Well, you do!! And you're in luck because I'd also be posting another blog on how to socialize, take a look at that if you're interested.

Got someone to talk to now? Great, now what I want you to do is talk to them. If you are talking to your closest family member make sure you say everything, how you feel, how you think, how you want to think.

If you're talking to your closest friend, don't say everything, only tell them how you feel and how you want to feel, tell it to them as you mean it so they won't think you're begging for attention, then after telling them how you feel you can start having fun and making jokes so the conversation can flow as you want it to be. Hey, act normal, act just like how you act when you became the best of friends.

Lastly, if you're feeling none of those and you feel either anger or fear. Here are my tips; if you're angry let it out on a diary, a journal, or your notebook about yourself, if you can talk to someone as well; if you're feeling fear, try to be brave and face that fear, do what any other brave person would do, try and try.

And that's about it, but if you're still feeling none of those then clump up all my tips and find the best one to work for that feeling. I hope this helps at least a bit. Now remember; "No one knows you better than you know yourself. Do that thing you want, don't wait for someone else." - Maddona

Before we start, here is a short poem I made to introduce my blog.

Who am I?

You ask, and why..?

Dana is the name I go by.

I'm your guy... bull's eye!

Another one to satisfy!

Yes, that's you. Don't be shy.

Take a step and amplify!

Let's discover together and stay sly.

Hey there! It's me, Dana! Pronounced as Dānə. But you can call me Dan, your assistant in this online class scenario! *gasp*

Yup! Your assistant. <3 Now, you're probably in my blog because you'd be learning tips and tricks on how to survive online class, yes?

All right then, that's what I thought. Enough chitter-chatter! Let's start now, shall we?

As a student, I suppose just like you, my interests are lazily watching movies and shows. Ha! Ha! Ha! Well yes, those are some of my interests but I also enjoy studying even if gets stressful from time to time. I also love writing and reading poetry and stories. And like I've mentioned, I love watching movies and shows like Harry Potter, Umbrella Academy, Stranger Things, and Anne with an E.

I know right? Watching shows are so interesting and not boring! But... studying can also be as interesting and as totally not boring as watching your favorite shows. You just have to find the right method! I'll be your pathway to finding that.

Despite having stressful times during online class I still strive to try to be a good student. Sure, I’ve had bad experiences in my life too, but this is exactly what made me the way I am now: grateful, full of love, with a desire to study. And I hope you are or will be too, but don't worry I can help you there! You won't be alone. ;))
