Time Management tip: To Do List + Diy Dry Erase To Do List

Hello,

I admit I'm very bad at time management and many of you will too. The only thing I excel in in time management is to wake up on time and not sleep to late because I was raised to always get in bed no later than 11;00 on school nights and 12:00 on weekends and I will feel very guilty if I'm late for something so I always wake up on time. Then the list ends.

Recently I've been trying to get more organized, writing down everything I need to do on a little dry erase board that I carry with me to school. It's helping me remember things I have to do and helping finish them before the deadline. It's also a very easy DIY to make. 

Things You'll Need:

Scrapbook Paper 

Scissors (optional)

Laminating Sleeve

Marker

White Board Marker 

1. Cut out your paper to you desired shape, I had mine to fit my file so it was about 18cm by 25cm. You can keep it A4 if you would like it. Make sure that your paper is light in color and the pattern isn't to eye catching as you will need to be able to see the writing on it.

2. Write 'To Do List' on a piece of paper ,cut it out and stick it on the top of the scrapbook paper.

3. Slip it in to a laminating sleeve and laminate it, if you can't do it at home, I think some photo printing stores do do them.  

4. Cut the excess plastic off.

5. Write away with your dry erase marker!

It doesn't necessarily have to be a to do list board but that was what mine was.

Instagram wall!!

Hello,

Finally,the Instagram wall is complete! I had a few issues when recording the voice over and I founds out that I'm not very good at talking to myself. But I still did it, I promise I'll improve next time but in the mean time here is how I made the wall!

First I saved some Instagram pictures to my computer. 

Inatagram won't let you do it by just right clicking and save as. So what I did was right click, then click inspect element. 

A link to the picture will appear and then all you have to do is click the link and save the picture to your computer. 

 

I went out the next day to print them out on glossy photo paper. There are a lot of alternatives like Polaroid printers for this but I think that there are websites that you can print the on and have them sent to you. My local photo printing place had square photo printing available so I just went there. 

First I just used a few pictures to map out the placement of the pictures and find out how many I will use. I chose to keep about an inch gap between each picture as I didn't like the look of them all stuck together but this is just a personal preference. 

I did one row and one column roughly then I used a piece of tape to guide the placement of my photos. 

I used 2 pieces of blu-tack on each photo, one on the top middle and one on the bottom middle. 

Then I started to put the photos up using the tape as a guideline so everything is neat. As for the spacing I just eye balled everything as a little error won`t show up much. In total I did 5 rows and 12 columns.

I did kind of arrange my photos to be a bit relevant to the ones beside whether it be by color or by whats in the photo. 

I really like the outcome of the wall and I think that it is a great way of bringing your room to life. It is totally customize-able and that's what I like about this project. It actually tells a lot about a person and it is almost like a story. Another great perk is that it is unisex so anyone can do this to be honest.

School Essentials

Hello,

Since most students are going back to school or already back to school, I thought it be impossible for me not to write about some school essentials every girl ( Or maybe boy?) Needs in their school bag.

1. Pens

Everyone needs pens and pencils, or else we wouldn't be able to jot down notes (I hope you do jot notes because even if you don`t read them again, you are more likely to remember everything if you`ve written them down at least once) Of course it is also great to have cute pens but bare in mind that they should write smoothly as well or else you are just going to get frustrated.

2. Notebooks

Notebooks are great for jotting down notes, writing reminders r even just doodling in class if you get bored. It doesn't really matter if you get one thick one and divide it up or a bunch of small ones. Me personally likes to keep them separate as I find thick ones very heavy and bulky.

3. Agenda

Not everyone needs this but when things get hectic these come in handy. I used to give up every few weeks I start one but this time I stuck to it by making it really cute and really fill in all my dates. I think that you should give it a try if you find your self forgetting things and dates clashing a lot. I recommend the Muji plain weekly or monthly planner. They are really nice and the best thing is that you can customize them with stickers and drawings. They are also really light weight.

4. Water bottle

You've got to stay hydrated through out the day and no I do not mean those juice drinks and energy drinks with added sugar and flavorings. I`m talking about H20 (Preferably not distilled water because it has no nutrients and I think it tastes disgusting). 70% of your whole body is made of water so drink up!

5. File

A nice big file will help you get organized for your classes, you can just through everything you need for one class and your good to go. Sometimes if I`m lazy I'll even throw my pens in their so I don`t have to bring a pencil case.

6. A smile

Don`t forget, school is supposed to be fun, even if you hate the classes and the homework, try to think of whats after it. Like you get to hang out with friends after classes, you get to go shopping after finishing your homework. It should be a time in life where we get to find ourselves and make some great friends so why miss out?
