Hi there! It's Diane, the nursing geek.
It is back-to-school time, so today's video
is going to be a sampling of some bullet
journal spreads that I came up with for
non-traditional students, particularly
non-traditional students taking online
courses. There are some really great
tutorials out there on bullet journal
spreads for students/back-to-school and
I will link some of them down below that
I've run across. In particular, Caitlin
over at Caitlin's Corner has done quite
a few really neat ones both last year
and this year. They're generally geared
towards traditional students though,
students who, if they have a job, it's a
part-time job in addition to being a
full-time student and who have five or
six classes. Most of my students are
taking one class at a time. My online
students are definitely taking one class
at a time, and working, and in many cases
also have respons... you know, a lot of family responsibilities,
particularly kids. So I've tried to come
up with some examples of how you could
use a bullet journal spread to organize
your studying if you're in an
accelerated online course and you're
also juggling all of these other things.
It's not the only way. Definitely not
saying it's the only way! There are
plenty of digital planning options and
other types of organization that I just
am not even familiar with. Since I've
taken up bullet journaling and that's
what I'm drawn to, that's what I'm
sharing. So, let's get into it.
Before I get into each spread,
let me talk a little bit about
what I filled into these spreads in
order to create these examples. All of
them are based on the first week of a
course that I teach and that course is
offered online over seven weeks. And as
is fairly common with courses on that
type of a very short block of weeks
schedule, there are multiple things do
throughout the week. In particular, what
people often find confusing to keep up
with -- not confusing in theory but
confusing to keep up with -- is that you
might have a discussion that's due on
Wednesday but then you need to reply to
somebody else by Friday, because
otherwise the first person to post is
kind of in trouble because they don't
have anybody to reply to if everything
is due Wednesday. So you get a couple
days to do replies. That's one of the
things students have asked me for help
keeping organized for themselves, which
is part of why I used that exact example
because it's a syllabus that I already
have to work with. I changed up the
shifts that the theoretical nurse going
for their masters and taking this course
might be working, but they always have
some kid events to try to work into the
week as well, so that there'll be some
work items some personal items and some
school items, because the majority of
non-traditional online students are
balancing work family and school.
So with that said, let's take a look at
this first stripped-down, very basic
single page weekly spread. Right down the
middle of the page you've got the dates.
To the left of the dates, all of the work
and personal events, appointments, tasks,
reminders, whatever needs to be there. And
then on the right, all the school-related
things just to keep a little bit of
separation. Since in this class, things
are due on Wednesdays, Fridays, and
Sundays, and this particular nurse is
working three to elevens and has kids
who are presumably school-aged if they
have ball games and Cub Scouts, then
having some time to work during the day
and pace things out made a lot of sense.
So I alternated the reading and the
watching of video lectures with actually
posting assignments for their due dates.
Thought that might be how this particular
nurse would pace things out. So then on
Tuesday, reading things, watching a
lecture, Wednesday
posting the related assignments. Of
course, maybe getting on a roll on
Tuesday and posting the assignments. What
do I know? But this would be sort of the
plan, and if you get ahead of yourself,
great. Something else that I kept
consistent throughout is putting the
time of the video lectures, because if
you're trying to figure out "When do I
have time to do this?" it's helpful to
know is this 5 or 10 minutes or is this
a half an hour. How much time do I need
to... what kind of a chunk of time do I
need in order to watch this
and take notes and maybe rewatch things
if I think I need to replay something?
So, my thought is that putting that
information in there would also be
helpful. The other thing that you see in
parentheses next to some of the
assignments -- I'm noticing that I was not
terribly consistent with that on this
spread -- is what assignment it is.
Is it assignment 1a, assignment 1c,
assignment 1b, etc.
So that's sort of the idea of this spread.
This spread would be a little more
elaborate. It's based on a weekly spread
type that I used over the summer, where I
did put some more decorative things and
maybe some inspirational quotes at the
top of the page, and used this sort of
wrap around approach to laying out the
week and collected all of the items,
whether it's events or appointments or
tasks all right into the days
themselves. This particular nurse, you
might notice also works seven to seven,
an incredibly common shift. So whereas
the previous nurse was going to a Labor
Day picnic at 2:00 p.m., this nurse is
just throwing some chicken wings in the
crock-pot (probably at 5 in the morning)
so their significant other can bring
them to the picnic, because this nurse is
going to be at work. My thought with how
this nurse might cluster their
assignments -- they are the exact same
assignments from the exact same syllabus ---
was more, "Oh my, so not doing this on
a 12-hour shift day.
Do it on the days off." So that's why
everything's sort of clustered into
Wednesday, Thursday, Friday with one
lingering item on Saturday. Because if
there hadn't been anyone else to respond
to by the time this nurse got done
submitting everything on Friday for that
discussion, well then that's due by
Sunday, so maybe plan to take a look at
it and reply to somebody on Saturday. And
that doesn't take -- shouldn't take -- very
long, so that can go in with a with a
12-hour shift.
And I left the error that I made in
where I had put the lecture to watch
sort of in the wrong place. Not
necessarily *wrong,* just might as well
keep the lectures related to a
particular assignment together
if you're going to cluster things this
way. And that would be exactly how I
would fix it if I had made that mistake,
so I figured I'd leave it.
Yet another variation, and this nurse is
working 11:00 to 7:00. So this nurse gets
to go to the picnic, too presumably. As long as they're not
asleep, because that's pretty much the
same as 2:00 in the morning for most
folks. And this nurse took also a very
different approach to how to organize
things. There's a lot of room in those
days, so all of the assignments could
have gone into those days whenever they
wanted to do them. However, this nurse
chose to just make a note of the fact
stuff is due on Wednesdays, on Fridays,
and on Sundays. I've got a little
reminder there yes there is stuff due.
And then down in the bottom two blocks,
when do these readings and lectures need
to be read and watched by and when do
these assignments need to be done by? And
that could either be migrated into a
particular day when this nurse is saying,
"Okay, yeah. This day I'm going to have
some time that I can spend reading
chapters 1 & 6 from this textbook and
watching a 9 and 3/4 minute vid"
Which, that wasn't intentional, by the way for
the intro lecture to be 9 and 3/4 minutes,
but I was very amused when I
discovered that, yes, at 9 minutes and 45
seconds, that's exactly what it is. So if
you're a Harry Potter fan, then enjoy the
unintentional Easter egg of being
welcomed on platform 9 and 3/4.
Anyway, so either those could be left in
the boxes where they are and just
crossed off as they're accomplished, or
if this nurse wants to put things into a
particular day as it becomes evident
when it's going to be the best to get
these things done, then they can just be
migrated into their respective days. Lots
of possibilities. So there you go: three
sample spreads that you could use to
organize your work and your family
responsibilities with an accelerated
online class. Obviously since I'm
teaching nursing, I am thinking in terms
of what a nurse's schedule would look
like, and I think I used the word nurse
probably way too many times in this
video. Could be for any student, though, so
I hope you found something useful. If so,
please let me know down in comments. If
you have some other approach that you
have used successfully or are planning
to try to use to organize yourself for
taking an online course/an accelerated
course and juggling work and family and
all these other things, please definitely
share that below, because everybody can
always use more ideas on how to juggle
things. Because it can be kind of
stressful if you aren't figuring out how
to keep all the balls in the air.
Anyway, until next time, have a great day.
Bye!
