Back on track

I last posted two weeks ago and then I feel like everything got out of whack. Since lockdown began in March 2020, I have not gotten COVID. But I got one sinus infection and it almost took me out. I was out of commission and miserable for almost two weeks, on a steady diet of medicine and Sprite.

Now that I’m feeling human again, I’m trying to get back on track with my studies and the other side projects. I’m constantly telling myself that it’s ok that I didn’t get much done because my body needed the rest. it’s been working- for the most part. I think that a huge reason why I’m not being so harsh on myself is that I’m excited about learning new things.

I started a new class that is teaching python. Well, technically it’s a class on data structures and algorithms. But I’ve never really learned python officially, so I’m excited to start on this class. Maybe I’ll post some python notes or tutorials here one day.

I have also been diving into the world of digital planners. As I mentioned before, one tool I’m using to establish a routine is a daily template that I fill out either every morning or the night before. This allows me to touch base with my goals, my chores, my self-care, without putting too much pressure on myself to plan every minute of the day. 

I’ve used the app GoodNotes on and off since version number 4. I’m in love with their new elements feature and how easy it is to make digital stickers that I can use throughout the notebooks I’ve created in the app. I tried to use other apps like Notability, but personally, I prefer the overall experience of GoodNotes.

As someone who is trying to improve her writing, tech skills, and overall self-development, I want to post a tutorial on how I am able to create new digital stickers for digital planning. Stay tuned!
