the problem with this coffee shop is that it’s too cute and too expensive and my wallet cannot keep going here every other week

Something I do to quickly mark the place of a subject is to take a bit of washi tape and just fold it in half and tape it to the edge. It doesn’t stick out too much and it looks nice and organic.

Sometimes I'll go into town to do work and I'll just end up in a book shop after having desert or something

new year means new journal :))) i finished my old journal right on 12/31 so i decided to get a new one… except it’s actually an old one !! i am restarting an old moleskine i abandoned in the middle of law school since i didn’t want it to go to waste. although it does skip a chunk of time (the lime green tab marks 2025), i added a very cute bodega cat sticker on it so it feels brand new 😎

q for the chat: how’s the journal situation looking in 2025?

✧ preparing for next semester series (2/12): gentle planning guide ✧

hello sweethearts! mindyyy here! continuing our semester prep series with something super important - planning your schedule with intention and care.

here's a little break down into breaking this down into manageable pieces that won't overwhelm your precious mind:

essential planning elements:

class schedule

study blocks

self-care time

social activities

rest periods

creating your weekly template:

start with fixed classes

add study blocks (2-3 hours per class)

schedule meal times

plan exercise/movement

include social time

mark dedicated rest periods

time blocking tips:

use color coding (pick pretty colors!)

leave buffer time between activities

schedule harder tasks during your peak hours

include preparation time

add flexible blocks for unexpected things

digital vs. paper planning: digital sweetness:

google calendar for main schedule

notion for detailed planning

reminder apps for tasks

digital sticky notes

paper paradise:

pretty physical planner

weekly schedule template

monthly overview

habit tracker

to-do lists

remember:

don't overschedule

include white space

be realistic with time

plan for self-care

allow flexibility

my favorite planning hack: schedule your planning time! set aside 30 minutes each sunday evening to review and adjust your week ahead.

gentle hugs, mindy x

p.s. what's your favorite way to plan? digital or paper? 🎀

academic resolutions that i will try to implement in 2025 ✨:

replacing more of my screentime with reading time, doing craft, spending time outside or moving my body

reading 10 pages of an academic article not related to my thesis each day. exploring and studying for joy and to expand my general curiosity and knowledge.

working consistently and realistically in small chunks instead of overwhelming myself with unrealistic expectations and getting burnt out or procrastinating

what are your academic resolutions for the new year? i’d love to hear them!
