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? 🎀

Develop a budget: Creating and sticking to a budget can help you better understand your income and expenses, and learn how to prioritize your spending.
Save regularly: Saving money is crucial for achieving financial stability. You can set up automatic transfers to a savings account so you won't be tempted to spend the money.
Pay off debt: High-interest debt can hinder your financial progress. Make a plan to pay off your debts and focus on high-interest debts first.
Invest wisely: Investing can help your money grow over time. Look for low-cost index funds, which can give you broad exposure to the market at a low cost.
Understand compound interest: Compound interest is the interest you earn on interest. By investing consistently, the power of compound interest can help you build wealth over time.
Research before making big financial decisions: Before making a major decision, such as buying a house or car, research different options and weigh the costs and benefits.
Learn from your mistakes: Every failure or setback can teach you something valuable. Use these experiences to inform your future financial decisions.
Get professional advice: Seek advice from a financial advisor if you're unsure about your financial decisions. They can provide guidance on investments, retirement planning, and tax strategies.
Be aware of scams: Scammers can take advantage of financial illiteracy. Be cautious when someone offers an investment that's too good to be true.
Continuous learning: Financial knowledge is constantly changing, so stay informed by regularly reading financial news, books, and attending classes or webinars.
