how i use notion #1: mega assignment list

i promised i would update this from last year, and decided to do a walkthrough for @sleepanon!

i’ve taken my school bujo-ing digital for the past year, so i’m going to create a mini-series of how i’ve tinkered with notion to make it work for me! there’s a fair learning curve to it, so my inbox is open for questions if you have any from my posts (not notion in general. ..i’m not an expert lol).

step 1: start a new page! under database, select table

step 2: rename the labels to assignments and class (leave Files alone) for now. you can also title the page and add icons/covers

step 3: select the files label, then under ‘property type’ change it to ‘date’ (this is for deadlines--i start with my official syllabus dates)

ALSO a part of step 3, but after changing to the deadline property, add another one! click that next label, and follow the same menu as above, but select checkbox to give you an option to ‘complete’ your tasks:

step 4: in the ‘class’ row (the first blank after the label), type in a course name to create a tag. once you do so, you can select the tag to edit it or change colors // you can repeat this step as many times as you need to for your assignments. i like to do my entire semester at once since i work ahead of the syllabus, but it might be good to take it month by month!

step 5: now, let’s add the calendar view. on the lefthand side, ‘add view’, name it, then select calendar (not just highlight like me, but click it!)

step 6: you should now see your assignments on the calendar. on the right side (top) of the calendar, click ‘properties’ and turn everything on!

you can also filter the calendar to only show completed/non completed tasks or by class:

and you can click on any assignment to open it, and add further properties:

again, if you have any questions about this, please let me know!

back for another rendition of 'waiting for news about this fellowship is killing me'

after today it's fair game idk whether notification comes through the mail or just email (imagine getting a rejection through the mail we have progressed past the need for rejection through the mail).

no longer giving space to syntax on this blog but the whole ‘accounting’ for vso and osv languages / structures is super funny to me like now we have people arguing over movement and where things go or even originated from in a sentence 

and . yes i am still trying to figure out why it matters . like maybe if we didn’t have an overarching theory that does not attempt to cover every language ... we could have fun ?

now, idk how y'all get down, but for me, inappropriate sexual comments are just not cool at all. i don't care who you are, or what you know--that's sexual harassment. and i am definitely not going to defend/excuse/ignore that behavior if i know someone engaging in it. like, this is supposed to be a space to talk language and/or linguistics. if y'all are gonna display creepy behavior or (in)directly enable it, then yeah, step off the platform.

i'm too old to be seeing that type of mess (and i'm not old!), and i'm not interested in having my younger followers potentially get caught up in stuff because * I * failed to hold my boundaries.

so, just a psa that 1) i'm wholly disinterested in playing "who said what", 2) i don't care--if it's wrong, it's wrong, and 3) once i'm aware, y'all are not about to see x person on your dashboard from ME.

and that's all I got to say.
