In my last post, I had been talking about using organizers in various aspects of my life. Today, I just want to elaborate more on that.
There are times when I am unable to find the proper template that I wanted to use in my organizer planners. Sometimes, I feel very frustrated as I am unable to afford- not just find it. In my early days( that was like 2 years ago) of doing this, I have decided to use a stencil to make my tasks easier.
The pages of my bullet journal( that's the cover on top) makes it easier for me to do that. In fact, there are a lot of fancy posts on bullet journal lay out. To be honest, I will not be doing that because: I do not have the time and the talent to be that creative. Also, I do not have time to do just that. I want to be more realistic and relatable to most people.
Here is the page that I was talking about.That's the close up on top and, the actual 2 pages is the ones on the bottom.
Here are some of my favourite stencils that I use. I just use gel pens on mine as it looks better.
Here are some of the templates I created last year. I was not able to use this at that time as I was traveling and I left this at home. So here are they- blank. If you will also notice- I use a regular ball point ball pen for most of them.
My savings tracker at that time. So everytime I deposit a certain amount- at that time 35 and 50 dollars daily( cause I was saving for Christmas expenses- both for gifts and for whatever I needed), I shade a box/ "honeycomb." Inside the honeycomb are numbers- so that's the total saving I currently have on that specific day( example on top- 35,70, 105, and so on ).

Here is a daily tracker for me. Again, these are not applicable to everyone as I customised it to fit my lifestyle. For me, the most important things I needed- working full time, is knowing the tasks that I needed to do, the food that I am going to eat and a list of items( usually grocery items) that I needed for the week ahead.
And this is the cleaning tracker. For me, I am always busy and in my days off, I am usually very tired to do any houseworks. So, I assign a task/ part of the house that I needed to clean everyday. I cannot always clean/ do these things because I am often tired. But, if I am able to do at least 2 or 3 things in my daily tasks, it would make it easier for me in my days off. Four squares in every item as my standards is very low- every week, I need to clean and tick off one of them- that's 4 times in one month.
So there you have it folks! Next time, I will be talking about what you needed to do if worst comes to worst- like you do not have any bullet journal stencils and only have ruler and a pen.
