Note Taking

My name is AJ. I'm 19, I live in Portland, OR. My dream living space is a small studio apartment with a really pretty desk with colorful pens and decorations and things.

Gofundme

So I set up a gofundme campaign for myself. I'm the last person to ask for money, I wouldn't even let my mom turn my phone back on. A bunch of my friends kept telling me this is something I needed to do because it's one thing I won't financially be able to do on my own. All the info for my campaign is in the link. Feel free to share or whatever. Thank you for any support anyone decides to give me. This is something I will benefit from in the long run but just need some help on it.

I've got my habit tracker going.

Took a trip to goodwill today and picked up a couple of caddy's to organize my desk. I forgot to take a before picture but trust me, you don't want to see that monster. My workspace actually has space now. Very proud of myself. Now only thing to add is my computer and I'll be all set. Have a good night lovelies.

Okay I felt the need to post this. This is partly why I don't sleep very well at night. He's super cuddly but is constantly changing sleeping positions every thirty minutes to an hour. And if I put him on his bed he waits till I'm on the verge of falling asleep then crawls back under my blanket and he's not discreet whatsoever. And he manages to push me off the bed in the process. For being 10 pounds, he takes up quite a lot of space on a Queen sized bed. Okay now this time I'm going to bed. Goodnight lovelies, I'll post more tomorrow.

Okay so I felt this was super important. If you are looking for a new pen to try out, I highly suggest this one. It's the inc R2 precision pen. It's my favorite pen ever and it's at dollar tree for a two pack for a dollar! (Unless your state has sales tax, Oregon doesn't so it's only a dollar). All dollar trees have it. I've been using this pen every day for a year and it still writes like it's brand new. Does not bleed, no smears, and dries instantly on the page! Works from any writing angle unlike some pens. I've found some pens that it has to be held at a certain position for the ink to come out and I hate that because my writing position is constantly changing so this pen is perfect for me. It does not withstand a dog that eats everything though. Max my 10 pound jack Russell mix got ahold of one and now I only have one left and need to make a dollar tree run at some point to get back ups. Do you guys have any favorite pens that you suggest other people use? Let us know! I'm heading to bed for the night, sleep well lovelies.

So...

I was thinking about starting other blogs on other social media sites like twitter, instagram and such. Expanding myself a little. Let me know if you would follow me on another platform and which one it would be. Have a good night lovelies.

I will eventually get a journal mainly for budgeting but for now this yellow pad will work. Which, it's actually working for this so far so we'll see what I decide to do about that. I'm starting to keep track of all the expenses I have and how much it'll leave me. This way I can see if any prices could be adjusted and where all my money is going. I used to have a jar I called my savings jar that I put money I didn't want to touch in. But then I lost my job and didn't have a steady income anymore so that had to go away. But now I have a steady income with Steve smiths teamakers for the next three months (only three because it's a temp job through Express) so I can bring my savings jar back. I'm thinking taking $20 out of every pay check (I get paid every Friday) to save. We'll see how well this system works out. Do you guys have a budgeting system you use and rely on all the time? I like seeing other people's ideas and sharing spreads with each other. Have a good night lovelies.

My September section finished and ready to start. My bullet journal is still a work in progress and I'm still learning what fonts and banners I like and don't like. I'm switching up my trackers each month to figure out what I like and don't like. And this time I will keep up with progress posts. Any trackers, fonts or banners you guys like to use the most and suggest I try? I appreciate all opinions, all of them matter to me. Have a good night lovelies.

So here is the month of August in my bullet journal. I never showed my progress so here is the finished month. Now I'm just finishing up my September section to be ready to start tomorrow.

Hey guys!

I just made an ebates account. If you sign up through my link when you spend $25 we both get cash back. From my understanding you get cash back when you shop through their app both online and in store. https://go.ebat.es/imsk/Fbu9TL0YsF

My journaling supplies hoard is starting to grow

So I found this site that you can earn money. I don't see any harm in it. Basically, it gives you a task (right now the task is post the link to social media and tag two friends) and you get $5-$10 once you complete it. Then you get another $5-$10 for every person that follows your link and signs up. Once you reach $300 you can withdrawal and have instant access (PayPal, check, etc.) I'm at $65 after two days. I didn't see any harm in trying it since it doesn't ask for your social or anything they can use to harm you. I'll let you guys know when I get my $300 since I know most of you won't believe it until you've seen it. Here's the link: http://DollarinPocket.com/?taskid=64224

So I got my first travelers journal the other day and I'm loving it. I thought I wouldn't like how compact it is but I'm actually loving it. The small pages help me keep my entries simple and light. Normal journals make me feel like I need to add a lot to fill it up and then it doesn't look good. It also fits perfectly in my purse with my pens.
