Oh, the pressure to fill the day with something to signal yes! I am alive! I do things! The key is treating the planner as a diary. What did I do today? Instead of what am I going to do today? And! The dates are already in there for ya, no need to go searching for the date. I like to fill in the yesterdays date on todays date as a great way to practice remembering. Remember remembering?

in the past i have been bad about keeping a schedule, so days off/holidays sneak up on me and it is hard to plan ahead. last year i committed to using a paper planner and it has been really nice to see the week/month ahead and also to be able to look back. sort of functions as a low-pressure scrapbook. i use one from marjolein delhaas. i have the orange but there are other colors.

This one’s new for me but I’ve started making my own planner and only writing three days at a time, making key things that I absolutely have to get done. It makes bigger projects feels a little smaller and I can figure out every three days what I want to prioritize. (next two days censored for my privacy 😅)

I schedule stuff in my phone but I use my physical planner to write out what I actually did every day. it’s awesome and nice to reflect on all the weird stuff that I didnt mean to do. I also write what media i consumed and what memes or cultural stuff seems important on a given day because when I look back I’m always like oh ya i Forgot about that

I actually just want to scream and cry and be mad but the silver lining is that i love everyone in my life so much and i wish they really understood how much i mean that and i’m crying now looking at the bloody stained mess of a mid-day period.

It sounds like you’re nervous because you feel like you’re not good enough or don’t know enough. Remember that they brought you on knowing your lack of experience and new-ness to the industry. They know you don’t know! So don’t be afraid to say you don’t know! Go in ready to ask questions and honestly say I don’t know what that is or could you explain that. I’m sure people would love to explain a bit more about what they do and maybe begin to see what they do with fresh eyes. They must’ve seen in you a desire to learn and passion for the industry, that got you through the door, and the knowledge will follow. You may not know, but you will learn.
