How to Use a Planner Effectively, Obtain Results, and Not Get Worn Out
I just want to say and start out in this way: this is my way of doing things. Surely, all our brains work differently, and some ideas will work and some won't. That's just how learning about ourselves is.

How You Can Start Saving
If you’re still living at home, and your parents are flipping the bill on your food, electricity, maybe even your phone and your car if you have one, take full advantage of it. Take that time to save your money and create projects that could generate more income for yourself. Even if you still have some overhead at home (such as I did), it’s still most likely less than you’d be spending out in the world. Thank your parents for covering any of your living expenses. When I got my license, I had to pay a portion of my car insurance. Later, I also would have to pay for my clothes (which I cheated a little by just putting certain clothes on my Christmas list), and I’d pay a portion of my personal electricity use. Was I spending $150 per month on bills when I was 18? Yes, but it was still a fraction of what I’d need to pay to live on my own. This is probably the best way to start saving without needing to work full time, though I always recommend you can work full time if you can. Just don't compromise your education—that’s still important.

Art Journalling: A Visual Diary
When I was little, I used to keep a 'diary.' You know, one of those ones with the lock and key with Disney princesses on the front cover that you'd get at your local Dollar Store? When I got older, I kept a journal, similar idea, but at this point it was probably just a floral journal since I had grown out of the whole obsessed with princess’s phase. Now, after endless tries and failures of journaling, I have moved on to a 'Visual Diary' or as I like to call it, my Art Journal. And this choice has improved my everyday life greatly. In this post I will explain why to keep an art journal, when to art journal, and what you can put in it.

How To Manage Your Money in College
By now, everyone's heard some version of the statement that college has gotten 200 percent more expensive in the last 20-30 years. No one knows how true this is better than college students today.

Here are some ways to make it less stressful.

How I Made Being Frugal Fun
I’ll admit—budgeting, micro-investing, side hustling, spending trackers—none of it started as a game. It started because I needed to be able to pay my own rent, buy my own groceries, and pump my own gas, and I realized buying Dunkin’ Donuts coffee on my way to work every single day was going to prevent that from happening.

How To Hang Anything Without a Stud Finder
