Hei Again, Blog! Time Management is hard...

It has been six months since the last time I wrote a blog post. A lot of things happen, especially in how life goes by. Sounds cheesy but it's true. haha

I've been work on some projects, classes, research, organization stuff, and any other important things that make my life super busy in these six months. Even when I write this now, I tried very hard to have time to write even one post. I still have a lot of things need to be handled after I write this blog post.

But when I think about what topic I should choose for today, I do not have any idea. I just couldn't think of one. But then, I got an email from one of my blog readers, she asked me about how life's going, how's my study, and how I manage my time well in my busy life. That's when I realize I have to write about this. Time Management.
Honestly, it's hard to explain how I manage my time because it's all about learned from mistakes. For instance, I learned that I can't say "yes" to everything that my friends asked me to do because it will make my day a lot busier than ever. From mistakes, I can give some suggestions for everybody who needs my help to manage their time.

1. Plan Your Day Every Morning

If you are one of my blog readers, you already knew that I love planners. I always bring my planner everywhere I go and always write everything that I have to do in the day or following days. You don't have to have a good, bling, or colorful planners to plan your day. You just need a notebook (small one) that you can carry wherever you go and fill with your To Do List.

Start with answering this question, "What are the most important things to do today?"

For example, your answers are "Go to classes,  Meet with Emma, and Do homework."

Then, you just have to make the details of those answers, like "Go to Statistic class at 9.15 am in A Building" or "Meet with Emma at 12.30 in Starbucks, have lunch together, bring our project paper."

So, why you have to do this every morning?

Well... as my experience told me, in the morning (after Shubuh prayer usually) is the best time to make use of your brain and start planning your day. Your mind is fresh, and your body is fresh too, after got a nice fresh morning air and water. You can do this after Fajr prayer like I said before if you are Muslim, and if not, you can try to wake up around 5 am in the morning. After a nice bath and refreshing a cup of water, you can start to plan your day before do your daily routine.

2. Bring your Planner Everywhere

Like I said, a planner is essential when it's small enough to be placed in your bag. You will need this all the time if you want to have a better time management.

Let's say... you meet a friend for dinner. Then, suddenly he/she said that there's a great gag night that they want to attend with you next Saturday. When you have your planner, you can quickly put the schedule on so that you will not going to forget what will you do on next Saturday. And also, if you already have a plan in that night, you can also directly tell your friend that you can't go and maybe change the date.

Another example, in class, when the teacher told you about homework that has a different deadline than it used to be. For instance, the teacher usually asked everybody to hand in the homework on D-1. But then, suddenly the teacher told you to hand-in on D-3. You absolutely don't want to miss the deadline, right? The planner is the solution.

3. Say "No" if You Already Booked

Sometimes, saying "No" to your friend, teacher, family, or anyone that needs your help to do something is hard. I understand it very much because that's what happen to me a year ago. But then, I realized, if I always say "yes" when still have a lot of things to be handled, I will be messed up.

Start to say something like "Hey I'd like to help but sorry on that day I have other things to do and I'm afraid I can't help you."

I believe they will understand and will not going to push you to do whatever they want you to do. If they still insist, you can show them your planner.

4. Use Productivity App

If you think planner is for a girly girl, you can choose a productivity app instead of a paper planner. There are a lot of app that you can find on Google Play or App Store. You just to find the best one for you. Build-in app also good, because usually they already provided you with a lot of functionality for planning your day.

5. Be Consistent

You already have your planner or app, you already said "No" when you can't do something, then the most important thing is "Be Consistent"

You have stick on your schedule on the day. If you can't do it, promise that you will do it in the first place in the following morning. It will be useless if you have planner but you don't stick to it, isn't it?


I think that's all I can share wit you today. I hope that I can post some new stuff next week. I will try my best to keep posting about life and productivity as a Muslim, an international student, a wife, and a traveller.

Please have comments below about your thoughts in productive life. :)

[BackToSchool Series] Daily Productive Pouch

Several days ago, I got my opportunity to go "shopping" again. It was not like another kind of shopping, because it's different. I went to my favorite stationary store in the city and try to look something fun to buy, but also useful for my daily activities. And actually this is tricky because sometimes I don't even know how much money I'm gonna spend at this shopping day. hahaha Maybe it's the same thing to another girls who like shop a lot to buy clothing, shoes, etc. But, in my case... stationary and books. It can be as worst as that type of shopping if I didn't go there with my husband. Because he'll telling me what kind of things that actually useful for me or just for my pleasure oriented. haha

So, I found this pouch in the store. Just like my another posts about pouch that you can read in this link, I like Unicite model of pouches and bags for travelling. This one can be used not only for travelling but also for daily life. Actually you can choose which color and size you like. There are 3 options for size which are A6, A5, and B5. The color options are Black, Green, Blue, and Pink. However in this case, I choose the pink one with B5 size and it's perfect for me (it's my husband's choice by the way) because it can help me put everything I have in one place, including papers. Let me show you what's inside.

There are several pockets inside that can be used as stationary's placement. For example you can see in that picture it can be used to store colorful pens, ruler, markers, washi tapes, notes, cards, stickers, keys, even your phone. 

It means a lot for people who travel a lot, not only for pleasure but also for work and school, and also have a high productivity life. This people including me, can use this as a companion to store everything we have in this pouch. So, we don't have to worry about where we gonna suppose to place pens and papers in different place. We just put them in one place and ready to go.

Another thing that important enough for me is that the size. You can differentiate between the normal pen pouch that kinda big and this pouch which have book size. Therefore, when I put it my bag, it will easy to get and not gonna stuck under things, like I used to deal with my pen pouch. 

The price? ok if you buy this in the store you have to spend around NT$ 360, but if you buy it online you can get less than that. I recommend you to buy in Yahoo Mall, because it's cheaper, if you live in Taiwan. But, if you live in other countries, I think you can also buy one of this but need to spend more due to delivery cost.

Hope this post help you. :)

DIY Bow Clip for Planner or Book Lover

When I'm Indonesia, I always try to find something to be a bookmark when I still not yet finished my book. Like pen, papers, even my hair band. Sometimes I will fold the corner of the last page I read. But it resulted in the bend pages and I don't like it..a lot. So when I came to Taiwan, I found a lot of bookmark made from plastic or magnet. Most of them are so cute.

But, when I tried it I realize it can't hold several pages all at once for my planner. It's good for book but not good enough to hold several pages on my planner.

So, I'm trying to find another solutions for my need, which are have to be cute, fun, personalized size and pattern, and cheap.

Then, I found this channel in YouTube that show me how to make DIY bow clip or more than that.

You can definitely follow her guidance to make cute bow clip for your planner or book. But, if you have low internet connection, just follow my pictures below. These guidance made by me basically the same with Alexis mentioned in her video. But the difference is that you don't have to print the bow guidance from her blog.

1. Prepare the equipment needed

Several equipment needed are paper clips ( I prefer to use big one so can hold several pages all at once), papers with pattern (use papers that thick enough), glue, scissor, and stickers.

2. Cut the paper into rectangle shape with width and height based on your needs

3. Fold the two ends of the paper into the same size.

4. Fold again but reserve a little bit of it, not all into the same size like before

5. Open the folded paper from the step 4 and cut like the picture below in the 2 border of folded area, in the middle and edge

6. Cut also the edge side of the paper like a bow

7. Open the folded  paper and use scissor to make it bend like pictures below

8. Fold the edge right and left of the paper outside

9. Take one paper clip ( i use gold one because it's perfectly cute) and insert one edge of the paper to clip like picture below

10. Put your finger in the middle of the bow and clip, then push it. Don't forget to give glue in the border of paper and clip. Better to use gun glue, if you have one.

11. To make it cuter, put a cute sticker in the middle of your bow.

Your bow clip, is ready to be used in your planner or as book mark. These pictures below are the example of other clip using big stickers or other thing that you can find easily.

If you want to use the one like Alexis have you have download it from her blog http://www.strangecharmed.com/diy/diy-bow-clips-for-your-planner-more/

Wish you have a good time in making your own bow clip!! ^_^

Track your Exercise or Work Out Routine? Why not?

When you read exercise or work out... I believe most of people don't like exercise. I know because I also don't like to do it. haha But, it changes recently when my lab mates (Taiwanese) make an unusual game. All of lab members have to challenge themselves to decrease the body weight or abdominal circumference (lingkar perut). Not an easy challenge because we have to decrease in certain amount of body weight in 2 months which determined by our Prof's assistant. -____-"

Source : google

For myself, I have to decrease 4kg in 2 months!!!! if I can't accomplished it in the end of december, I have to pay 10,000 NT$!!!

It's huge for me because last time my body weight in that amount is when I was in high school. -___-" and 10,000 NT$ are incredibly huge amount of money... it's around 4 million rupiah...crazy right? they are absolutely crazy!! and so do i.... why i agree with this???

So, I have to do something about this right? I have to exercise. But how?

I rarely work out because I already tired due to my school time and household tasks. 

Then, I decided to make my own work-out tracking system in my planner. Therefore, I will notice what did I do in my exercise and what should I do in the next day. Also I can track my own body weight every week.

Organizing Household : All about Money

One of the most important lesson after I married is how to manage household money. Maybe all newlyweds will think the same with me. Once you married, your life is not only about you but also about your wife/husband.

In the case of money, Husband will give some money to Wife for household, like for groceries, eating out, beverages, etc. The challenge is for wife to manage the money until the specified date or usually in the end of the month.

I'm still learning this kind of thing. Managing not only household money but also another kind of money. But, now I found something interesting that I can share with you guys. Single also can use this as reference, even students. :)

Bills to Pay

There are many kind of bills. Mortgage, rent, electricity, water, phone, internet, school, etc. Many people sometimes forgot to pay in the specified date or if they pay they forgot how much money they spent and lost the receipt. Saving the receipt is important. Why? Because if there's something happened, maybe the company said you didn't pay yet but actually you are, you can show the receipt to them. Don't throw away all of your receipt bill!

So, I came up with this idea. Write down all of bills payment in a year, in a piece of paper.

Even for the transportation cost, you can write in down each month. Therefore, you will understand how much money you already spent for it and you can manage to think about how much budget you want for next month.

School also important because if you are still in school, therefore you have to pay school fees like registration, books, uniforms, etc. 

I'm giving you the raw file of this Bills to Pay because every person have different needs about their bills. The raw file is in doc file, not like previous posts' files that I made using Photoshop. 

You can download the Bills to Pay in this link.

Monthly Budget

In the first day of each month, me and my husband will spend some time to write all of the expenditure in the previous month to make decision for that month's budget. Maybe some people may think that this is very detailed and not really like the detailed things. Don't worry, it's normal. My husband also thought the same, until I explain why he should do this with me.

Household is not about wife, but also husband. He gave the money and She will manage it. But, not always like that. They have to work together because they have the same goal and need some money to achieve that goal.

For example, we want to travel around South East Asia in the beginning of next year. Therefore, we have to save some money. If we want to save more, means we have to spend less, right? To achieve that, we have to carefully calculate our expenditure and stay on budget. That's why the monthly budget is important. We will notice how much money we spent in each month and will not going to spend more than budget. :)

So, the idea is write all of the budget in the beginning of each month. And in the end of each month or in the specific date, write the expenditures or incomes. :)

Between the monthly and yearly bills, it must be consistent. So, if you write "bus" in the transportation cost in Bills to Pay, in the monthly budget should have "bus" also. It will help you when you summarize in the end of the month.

I also will give you the raw file and you can manage it by yourself. You can download in think link.

Weekly Outcomes

Actually the Weekly Outcomes can help to be bridge between day and month. The expenditure budgeted items are same with Monthly Budget. The difference is that you only have to fill it in the end of each week. Therefore, in the end of each month, you can calculate it in the Total column and move the value to the Monthly Budget's Actual column. Easy right? ^^

Again...I remind you to be consistent with the budgeted items. They are should be the same within weekly, monthly, and Bills to Pay yearly.

Hard work to do it each week? it is. But, you will feel it hard only in the first several weeks, after that you will do it every week without realize you already do it. 

The first step always difficult, but without the first step, you will never achieve your goal.

You can find the raw file in this link.

Daily Outcomes

The most important one is daily outcomes. The challenge is how you manage yourself to write down all of your expenditure without forgetting how much money you spend at that time. hahaha

Until now...I'm still trying to manage myself to always write it down in my journal every time I buy something and whenever I'm home, I will move that to this Daily Outcomes.

You can write down your expenditure with the source (place you buy it), with the amount in the outcomes column. Don't forget to write the balance after you spend the money.

So, you will notice how much money left on your pocket.

You can download the raw file of the Daily Outcomes in this link. 

The next question is... why I make this in A4 size paper? Not A5?

Because... I decided to make different journal for household things. I will all of the papers in to one folder that I keep at home. So, my husband can see it every time he wants. And I don't have to bring these papers with me where ever I go. :)

Also... if I have bills or receipts I can manage to keep them in that paper folders also. All in one place. Keep simple and organized, of course. ^^

Other question... why this files are sooo not colorful? i mean not many decorations there...

It is because I like to print them in designed paper. You can find many designed ready paper in school supply store and they have many different kinds of paper. When you print them in those paer, it will look nicer and you can have your own ideas of decorating your organizer.

Hope this post helpful for you.

If you have any questions, please write down on the comment below and InsyaAllah I will reply yours.

Organizing Life Planner for Weekly

I'm back with the organizing life planner for Muslim that I designed. But, this time is quite different than the daily planner. Before, I used color in the daily planner. Now, i'm using only black in the weekly planner.

I did some research about how people use their planner., and i found out that most of the people (i won't use percentage here) are color coded their planner. That's why I make my design all black from now on. I wanna try to encourage all of you to color coded your planner by yourself. Not only it's fun, but also it can stimulate your creativity and your discipline to do your work. :)

So, this is the weekly planner.

Well... weekly is all about week. So, what you put in the weekly planner are your weekly schedule. Not detailed one because for detailed one you can put them in the daily planner. And of course, better you do the color coded system in your planner, it will make you easier to spot on something.

I put the date in here...quite different with the daily. Because in here, the purpose is for weekly. That's why I put "week" there. So, you will know what week is that and what month including the Masehi and Hijriyah calendar.

Also in the box for days, I make columns for day's number, not only for Masehi but also Hijriyah. Why?

Because maybe you have plan to do in Hijriyah calendar. for example, in 10 Dzulhidjah there will be Eid Adha or before that we have sunnah fasting for Arafah Fasting in 9 Dzulhidjah.

I want to encourage you to make not only daily goals, but also weekly goals. Therefore, you will do your schedule more on-time and discipline.

Maybe you will not going to get the result directly but you will notice it in the end of the month about what did you do on that month. I believe, it will make you happy. :)

Hope this weekly planner helpful for you.
If you want to know about the color coding, I will make another post about color coded. :)

Organizing Life Planner for Daily

As I mentioned in several posts ago, I promise to give my blog reader to give my own design of organizing life planner. Actually I have plan to give it all together in one blog post. But, unfortunately because I'm too busy with my wedding preparation, the day, the moving time to Taipei, and also new registration for new students in campus, I can't do that.

But, I will give one thing in here... the Daily Life Planner and Daily Budget.

And of course..in PDF format so all of you can download it for free through dropbox... ^^

Those two planner, I made them first. why?

Because... if you want to learn to be organized, learn the most simple thing first,.. Daily Life.

This Daily Life Planner is designed for Muslim. Because it has the Hijriyah date place. So, Muslim will know what day in Hijriyah calendar is that day. Therefore, they can find out what deeds like fasting or other things that they can do on that day.

Also it has Prayer checklist. Not only 5 times a day, but 8 times. In here I try to encourage Muslims to also pray Sunnah everyday.:)

Mmm and don't forget to have Qur'an supplementary and book (any kind of books). You can put the first and last page of the book. So, you won't lost the next time you want to read your book.

It also have the morning and before bed task. With this, you will try to do it everyday and will not forget for example like put out the trash, serve breakfast, put it the newspaper, etc. I always forget to put out the trash before I go to bed, that'swhy I put the before bed task in here. haha

I also put the daily budget box in this daily planner. Why? Because sometimes...I can handle my ahnd to m pocket. I always try to buy something unnecessary. hahaha So, I have to try to be disciplined.I believe some of you also do the same. haha

Nah... exercise and drink a lot of water are needed for every human every day in life. Because it is healthy. My husband always did that and he is very healthy. But, i need to try harder for this.

Of course... the reminder to do fasting for Muslim. Maybe like Monday-Thursday fasting or another fasting day. :)

Don't forget to put the Goals and Quotes of the day. They are important for reminder what you have to finish each day.

The most important thing is the To Do List. This to do list, yo have to try every morning after Morning Prayer to sit down and write what you have to do in that day. Detailed is needed. You will be happy, trust me, in the end of the day, if you can check list all of your written to do list. ^^

Another thing is the Daily Budget. As my experience, as a student or maybe a housewife, we have a strict budget because we con't have a lot of money to spend with.

We have to spend for school fee and eat. Or maybe books or any other necessary things. But, if we still keep buy and buy unnecessary things, you will lost! remember that! haha

So, my solution is to make a daily budget for every day and write down whatever I spend on that day in this paper. Therefore, in each week I can count on how much I spent every week. Then, every month.

In that case, for the next week or month I will know how I spend my money so I'm not gonna lost with myself. haha

Also, in here I put a grocery shopping list. Why? Because
sometimes when I go to market to buy groceries without write it down, I'd like to buy a lot of things that not in the list. And after I buy them, I will regret it. -_______-"

Okay, so that's it for this post. I will continue the organizing life planner for weekly in the couple days later.

Hope it can help you... ^^

Behind My Life Planner

Banyak yang bertanya... mengapa life planner atau agendaku berwarna-warni ?

Jawabnnya mudah... Because it is fun!!

Aku  bisa menempel apapun dan berkreasi sesuai dengan keinginanku. haha

Jadi... aku akan menunjukkan ada apa di balik life planner atau agenda milikku ini. Satu hal penting, yaitu Kotak Ajaib!!

 

Kenapa aku namakan kotak ajaib? karena ini tempat pensil paling keren yang pernah aku temukan!! Dia ukurannya 13x20 cm... cukup besar tapi bisa menampung apa saja... dan dia punya dua bagian. Atas dan bawah.

Apa saja yang ada di dalamnya?

here we go....jika di buka bagian atas dan bawah akan terlihat seperti ini.

Bagian atas adalah tempatku menaruh segala perlengkapan tulis menulis dan DIY craft, sedangkan bagian bawah adalah tempat semua sticky notes dan barang yang bisa ditempel...

Let us through one by one...

Aku suka sama yang namanya spidol atau pensil atau bolpoin berwarna karena bisa digunakan untuk menghias berbagai macam hal. Oleh karen itu, ketika aku menemukan satu pak isinya spidol berwarna, langsung aku beli. Biasanya spidol ini aku gunakan untuk menggambar di life planner ku atau menghias apapun. Terutama ketika ada seorang teman yang ber ulang tahun dan aku ingin memberikan kartu ucapan spesial untuk dia. ^__^

Aku menemukan sebuah crayon lucu di sebuah toko buku di Taiwan. Krayon ini unik karena dia bentuknya seperti bolpoin besar yang berisikan 8 warna. Cara kerja nya gampang sih... caranya kayak kalau make cutter dan kalau mau mindahin warna tinggal di pencet itu tombol atasnya kayak pakai bolpoin. Mudah kan?

Yang tidak boleh dilupakan adalah bolpoin 3 warna kesayangan, pensil, penghapus, gunting, pelubang kertas, dan lem.

Lemnya ini unik karena dia bentuknya seperti tip-ex yang di-stroller. Mmm agak susah jelasinnya. Begitu pokoknya.hahaha

Okay...so...hal lain yang ingin aku tunjukkan adalah bagian lain dari kotak ajaibku yaitu bagian yang berisi kertas... ^_^

Aku mungkin agak sedikit ekstrim ketika berhubungan dengan kertas karena aku suka sesuatu yang berwarna-warni dan aku menemukan banyak sekali warna unik yang bisa dipadu padankan untuk Life Journal ku.

Maka dari itu aku punya banyak sekali sticky notes berbagai ukuran. Terutama merk post-it karena dia nempel dengan sangat baik dan bisa dilepas dengan mudah juga. Easier to work with this rather than with another brand, btw. 

Lalu, aku juga suka banget mengumpulkan kertas-kertas dengan motif lucu. Tujuannya adalah untuk memberikan notes kepada seseorang tentang sesuatu atau bakan mungkin ketika aku kehabisan kartu nama dan harus memberikan kontak ku, lebih baik menggunakan kartu ini daripada post-it karena selain lebih lucu, lebih terkesan non-formal.

Ga mungkin banget donk kasih orang pake post it... Gampang kucel juga. Kalau rusak berabe jadinya. haha

Aku jugapunya banyak timbunan divider yang aku gunakan di dalam life planner ku. Gunanya adalah ketika aku punya banyak hal di dalam agenda, aku tidak harus mencari satu per satu tapi langsung menuju divider tertentu yang sudah diperuntukkan untuk hal tertentu.

Aku terobsesi dengn color code yang berarti memberikan kode atas sesuatu dengan menggunakan warna sehingga memudahkan kita untuk mencari sesuatu.

Yeah you know i like organized things in my life. hehe

Divider ini berbeda dengan mark-paper biasa karena tingkat rekatannya juga berbeda. Untuk divider jelas lebih kuat karena digunakan untuk memindahkan beberapa halaman dalam satu waktu.

Another thing is that... stiker khusus untuk binder. Sebenarnya stiker ini berlubang di tengah. 

Gunanya adalah untuk menghindari kertas binder yang robek karena terlalu sering dibolak balik. Stiker ini pasti dari plastik yang kuat. Berbeda dengan stiker biasa.

Tau donk yang namanya kertas apalagi kalau bindernya itu ring nya cuma 6 atau 4, kertasnya pasti sering banget robek. Nah, untuk mengatasi itu, misalnya robek tuh...tinggal ditempelin aja stiker yang bolong tengahnya ini di bagian kertas yang robek...sehingga bisa digunakan lagi kertasnya... :)

Tidak hanya stiker yang menjadi sorotan utamaku, tapi juga penanda scheduler yang ada di dalam life planner ku. Stiker lingkaran itu aku gunakan untuk menandai hal yang penting. Satu warna untuk satu hal.

Sedangkan mark-paper ini aku gunakan untuk menandai kertas tentang suatu hal tertentu terutama di bagian notes.  

Karena aku sering sekali menulis notes sembarangan dan akhirnya ketika mau mencari lagi, susah mencarinya. Harus dibolak-balik satu-satu dan bisa membuat kertas rusak secara tidak disengaja. :)

Karena hobiku membaca, aku selalu membawa pembatas buku kemana-mana. Karena kadang, lupa sama halaman terakhir baca buku itu tadi. 

Pembatas ini sangat berguna. Ga cuma buat mbatasi buku tapi juga buat membatasi tumpukan kertas riset di lab yang sampai sekarang belum diberesin. (curcol)

 Oh ya...aku juga ga lupa sama koleksi stiker ku yang setumpuk.hahaha

Setiap kali aku ke toko buku yang dicari adalah stiker. Karena stiker ini aku pakai buat menghias life planner milikku. ^__^







Semoga post kali ini berguna.

Jangan lupa... dua bulan lagi aku akan launched desain life planner buatanku sendiri untuk Muslim dan Muslimah yang bisa didownload secara gratis di blog ini, insyaAllah... ^__^
