📅🏞️🏕️ I utilized my custom camping-themed calendar printable, which I designed for my shop, to create my September monthly calendar. 🍁🌲 The convenience of using this printable is that it eliminates the need for drawing each calendar box by hand! . Speaking of camping, are you a fan of it? If so, do you prefer camping in the summer 🌞 or during the beautiful fall season 🍂 we're currently experiencing in the US?🎒🏜️🏕️ I've typically been a summer camper, but I'm starting to consider the merits of fall camping. What are your thoughts on this? 🌅🛶 . By the way, these new printable sheets have just arrived in my shop, and you can use the code "campingfun15" to enjoy a 15% discount! 🏕️ Link in bio. 🛒 . . . . . . . . . . . . #BulletJournal #Journaling #Planning #CalendarPrintable #September #CampingLife #FallCamping #SummerCamping #ShopNow #DiscountCode #OutdoorAdventures #NatureLovers #CampingEnthusiast #CalendarDesign #CampingFun #DiscountOffer #CreativePrintables #CampingTrips #FallExploration #SeasonalCamping #AdventureAwaits #PlanYourMonth #ShopWithDiscount #MonthlyCalendar #CampingSeason #DiscountDeal #bulletjournalmonthly #bujomonthly🔥📆✨🏕️🏔️🌌🚐🌳🌼

🌲 End-of-month reflections 🌲

"Easy wins" vs "Eat your frog" ⚡🐸

I see this pattern of me falling into a prolonged slump (3-4 months) after maintaining pretty consistent and productive days for a month, and then I need quite a long time to get back on track again. I realized this some time ago, and I thought I shouldn’t push myself too much or beat myself up if I couldn’t achieve my ideal day. I acknowledge that my productivity could ebb and flow.

But the thing is, once I loosened my grip, even a little, I fell into this dark hole again. 

Sometimes, I’d wake up in the morning and do not feel like doing too much, so I let myself rest. However, I got carried away, which continued for days or longer. Sometimes, I’d start my day with good energy, but I spent too much time on smaller tasks, so I didn’t have enough time to do the crucial tasks. 

So, to keep my days going in any situation, I think I need to switch between the “easy win” and “eat your frog” strategies based on how I feel in the morning and how important the tasks that I have to complete that day are.

If I feel energized and motivated and have a “big task” to finish as soon as possible, I’ll eat my frog first, when my brain is still fresh and I have a lot of energy. But if I don’t feel it when I wake up (or if I wake up late), I need to accomplish my easy wins first, so I feel motivated to tackle bigger tasks.

For the best results, I need to make nightly planning (or listing whatever I need to do the next day) a habit so that I have an idea of how the day should go. 

On learning languages 🧠

I didn’t identify myself as a language learner, but I think I need to dedicate some time to studying my own language and English. 

I feel like I’m losing my ability to use my mother tongue because I’m exposed to English media too much and rarely interact with real people in person. I used to live in a boarding house full of workers who came home late (and I work remotely), so I only talked to them when we met in the kitchen or the living room. I have moved back in with my dad, who also comes home late, so we only have the chance to talk around dinnertime. It feels awkward when I try to write in my language because I barely use it these days, but when I write in English, I still can’t express myself freely the way I intend to 😅

I’m literally relying on my language and communication skills for a living when in reality, I suck at it!!! I must survive :(

I want to work on my spiritual wellness, finding peace and meaning in life 🤍

I think one of the reasons I struggle these days is that I don’t have a good sense of purpose. I don’t know exactly what I’m chasing or what I'm working for. I think I need to connect with my inner self to figure out that purpose so I can navigate through challenges with greater resilience. I want to have a balanced and fulfilling life. I want to experience a deeper sense of satisfaction and contentment mentally, emotionally, and physically.

How was May? 🌼

May wasn’t the most productive month, but it was way better than April. In April, I was almost like a living corpse, never leaving my room—or bed, even—to the point that my body was stiff, and I had thigh pains. In May, I started to feel alive again. I started finding my routine again and caught up on some responsibilities. Everyone has their own challenges, and this is the tiny win of the challenge for me. But that doesn’t mean I can ease up. I need to put in more effort to be better.

Waaa~ I'm excited for May!! Tbh, I've abandoned ALL (literally) of my school assignments and other work because of my severe unmotivatedness (I'm sorry for making up words lol). I've been bed-rotting for the entire week. Idk what happened to me, but I'm glad that one of my friends called me to hang out today, so I finally summed up the endless bed-rotting phase lol.

Also, thank you so much @academicazura @megumi-fm for warmly welcoming me to this community and inspiring me to do this! It motivated me a lot!! (ARGH THEY'RE THE NICEST PEOPLE EVER!!)

Notes:

I woke up quite late on June 4th because I went to bed late the night before. I ended up sleeping for 10 hours.

June 7-10 I guess I'm just having a burn out. When I wasn't studying, I didn't have my water bottle with me so I forgot to drink.
