Bullet journaling and UNDATED planners give me the flexibility of incorporating my ancestral language.

How do I incorporate my Native Indigenous language?
•I use an UNDATED planner and bullet journals are a blank canvas. I enter dates written in my ancestral language (months, days of the week, seasons and celebratory occasions (Green [emoji535] Corn ).

•I have multiple chronic illnesses and a teenager so my life requires a planner.

•I also prefer BuJo and UNDATED planners because it allows me to decolonize my personal created calendars. I don’t include colonial holidays which I don’t celebrate.

•I do include dates that are important to me: National MMIWGT2S Awareness, Farce of July, Custer’s Last Stand, Orange Shirt Day, Wounded Knee, Dakota 38 + Etc.

•There are no rules. BuJo and planners are a great way to use beautiful stickers and washi tape created by Native Indigenous creatives.

Bullet Journal (BuJo)
•But what exactly is a bullet journal? ... Instead of blank, lined pages, a bullet journal (or BuJo, for short) contains sections to log daily to-dos, keep a monthly or weekly calendar, jot down notes, track both physiological and mental health, and record both short- and long-term goals.

Planners
•Using a planner allows you to schedule each event, appointment, errand, and task, so that you know what to expect and don't run out of time. Set specific due dates and deadlines for everything to help you stay on track, and have extra time left for yourself and your family.

•Hobby Lobby had a 40% off sale and I purchased a few inserts: updated daily and weekly meal plan.

•I’m now aware of what layouts I like and don’t like.

•I prefer inserts to be undated, weekly and have time slots.

•It’s a pet peeve of mine to write an appointment/training for 1 pm and a few days later have another appointment on the same day at 8 am. I like my appointments and trainings etc to be listed in chronological order. Lol [emoji23] Time slots is the solution for me.

•I placed an order late last night for undated weekly inserts with time slots. Cornell Notes and Task Delegation Inserts.

•I like the Cornell Notes inserts because I attend a lot of medical appointments. I also attend a lot of trainings and workshops. I like to take notes.

•I prefer my Task Delegation Inserts not be included in my weekly inserts. Certain tasks will have deadlines however others I work on throughout the week.

•I will save the inserts from Hobby Lobby as a back up in the event inserts are out of stock at Cloth and Paper.

•It’s important to me to primarily purchase from BIPOC businesses and this includes BuJo, planning and money management.
