TIME BLOCKING USING A JOURNAL

Image
     We generally use journals to write, sketch or doodle.  It is a safe house that keeps our ideas and creativity safe. But a   journal diary notebook can be much more than this. It can serve as a powerful tool that helps organise our life and time. This type of flexible and creative journaling is known Bullet journaling/ BuJo. A bullet journal can be used not just to list and review tasks but also to manage time efficiently with Time Blocking. What is Time Blocking?                      Time Blocking is a technique where the day is divided into blocks of time and tasks are allotted to each block. This technique is an effective way to maximize productivity as it improves concentration and drives you into action by making you focus on one task at a time rather than panicking over a piling list of tasks.                      Through time blocking, one can learn to organize and allot the days’ time based on the nature of tasks and complete it within the stipulated time.

                                    Most often we are far too focused on the big goals that we forget our little dreams and aspirations along the way. Those little dreams are our bottled- up spirit of adventure and excitement. They can be as simple as watching the sunset or as daring as trying bungee jumping. But fulfilling these dreams is what makes life memorable and joyful.                          The best way to do that is by making a bucket list.

PERKS OF USING A TIME BLOCK PLANNER

Image
                          Be it work or school, some days are particularly overwhelming. The list of to- dos keep piling and so does the anxiety to complete it on time. But unfortunately, instead of diving into action right away, the stressed mind decides to take unnecessary breaks, knowing very well that precious time is being lost.                        There is a different case scenario but with the same end result. There is a lot of time left to complete a simple task at hand. But rather than completing the task asap, our brain being aware of the abundance of time, goes into a lethargic, slumber mode. We end up doing that simple task all day and complete it only in the last hour when the adrenaline kicks in owing to the fast- approaching deadline.                       The unproductivity in both the cases is due to the lack of planning. A proper and detailed action plan is all that is needed to push us into completing our tasks well on time and keep us from getting distracted or p

JOURNALING TO COPE WITH OCD

Image
    Living with   OCD   is quite a challenge. The mind is carried away by persistent and disturbing thoughts and urges that cannot be easily dismissed. It can look simple on the outside like double checking locked doors, being hygienic or a tad insomniac. But these outward expressions usually stem from deep rooted fears.                        The person who seems to be extra cautious could be harboring a fear of getting harmed. Some people fear contaminating a deadly disease and are pushed to the extent of staying secluded from people. The insomniac would often spend sleepless nights, overthinking, having self-doubts, and analyzing every conversation that he/she has had so far. This not only affects the physical and emotional well- being of that person but also the relationships that the person holds with others.                        These worries churning through the mind can bring a lot of stress and anxiety, hence most people repeat some activities like washing hands, organizing,

There is the stress of getting to the airport on time hurdling through the traffic.

What you need is a  passport cover  to accompany and help with a hassle- free trip. Save all important documents like yo
