#organization system

The Dewey Decimal System is a library organization system used throughout Canada and the US. It divides all knowledge into 10 categories (numerically organized from 000 to 900) and then subdivides each category further into 10 further categories.

Of the 10 subcategories of the Religion section of the DDS, 7 are about Christianity, with all other religions being lumped together under one subcategory (290 - Other Religions).

hey emily! ✧

omg hi again!! (the love poem chaos was iconic btw, never apologize for that) you truly are my biggest fan (and i'm yours <3)

✧・゜: my notion setup: organized chaos but make it cute :・゜✧:・゜✧

so you asked about my notion setup and i'm soo excited to share because i've gone through approximately 500 iterations before finding what actually works for me! and by "works" i mean i've stuck with it for more than 3 weeks which is honestly a personal record.

the thing with notion is that it's so customizable it can be overwhelming?? like, i spent more time watching "perfect aesthetic notion tour" videos than actually using the app for the first month. classic me behavior.

⋆.ೃ࿔:･ getting started (without spiraling) ･:࿔ೃ.⋆

first things first - don't try to set up your entire life system at once! i made this mistake and abandoned notion for 2 months because it felt too overwhelming.

start with ONE area that's currently chaotic in your life. for me it was school assignments because i kept forgetting deadlines until 11pm the night before (and then panicking while eating peanut butter straight from the jar… not recommended).

my biggest tip is to not get caught up in making it pretty right away. i know that's like, counterintuitive coming from me, but functionality first, then we make it cute!

⋆.ೃ࿔:･ my actual setup ･:࿔ೃ.⋆

homepage: i have a super simple homepage with links to my main dashboards (school, blog, personal) and a little daily quote that changes. also a tiny photo of my cat judging me for motivation.

school dashboard: this is my most used section! i have a calendar view of assignments, a database of all my classes with linked notes, and reading tracker. the best part is the assignment database where i can filter by due date and subject.

blog dashboard: where i keep all my post ideas (like this one!), content calendar, and stats tracking. i also have a section for brands i want to work with someday (manifesting!).

personal dashboard: this has my habit tracker, journal prompts, and goals. i also keep recipes here because i was tired of screenshots getting lost in my camera roll.

reading nook: where i track books i've read/want to read with little ratings and notes. sometimes i write embarrassingly emotional reactions to plot twists that no one else will ever see.

⋆.ೃ࿔:･ the actually helpful stuff ･:࿔ೃ.⋆

okay so beyond the basic setup, here are things that have made notion actually useful for me:

templates!! i have templates for everything - blog posts, class notes, weekly planning. it saves so much time not starting from scratch.

linked databases are literally magic. i can have the same information show up in different places filtered different ways. like my assignments appear on my homepage as "due this week" but in my school dashboard i can see everything.

embeds are underrated. i embed my spotify playlists, google calendar, and pinterest boards so everything's in one place.

toggle lists for anything lengthy. they keep things looking clean but you can expand when needed.

color coding that actually means something. i used to just pick pretty colors but now each color has a purpose (red = urgent, blue = school, pink = blog, etc).

⋆.ೃ࿔:･ making it pretty (because we still care) ･:࿔ೃ.⋆

once the functionality is working, THEN we make it cute:

i use a consistent color palette across all pages (mostly soft pinks, lavender, and sage green)

custom icons for each page (there are free packs online or you can use emojis)

cover images that are cohesive (i use pinterest)

font consistency! i stick with the same headings and text styles

little decorative dividers between sections (just search "aesthetic dividers" and you'll find tons)

⋆.ೃ࿔:･ my honest thoughts ･:࿔ೃ.⋆

the truth is my notion isn't instagram-perfect all the time. some sections get messy when life gets busy, and that's fine! the beauty of it is you can always clean it up later.

the pages i actually use daily are pretty simple. it's the ones i rarely visit that look the most aesthetic (because they're not battle-tested with real life, lol).

start simple, find what actually helps you, and then make it pretty enough that you want to use it. that's the real secret!

let me know if you want more specific details about any part of my setup! i could literally talk about this forever (as you can probably tell from this novel of a response).

sending you the most organized vibes! hope this helps!!

xoxo, mindy 🤍

p.s. sleep tight to you too! currently writing this at 1am because i have no concept of proper sleep schedules

During the teachers' strike I've mostly been changing the labels of the fiction chapter book collection to a more user-friendly system (and weeding* the collection as I go).

The old way was organized first by genre then by the first three letters of the author's last name. Which is useless to a kid, since they rarely know or care who the author of a book is.

So I've been switching the labels to be organized first by genre and then alphabetically either by topic or series name (topic in the case of standalone books).

I've been getting through about 110 books a day.

hi y’all, i felt like making a post on how i organize everything so that’s what i’m gonna do!! i use the system where i have a separate binder or notebook for each subject!!

first off is my bullet journal. this is where i write down all of my tasks, track my habits, and plan for the future. It’s my most essential tool, and i wouldn’t remember my assignments without it. it’s not super fancy, i just color code my subjects but otherwise it’s very minimalist so it requires minimal upkeep.

second is my pencil pouch. i might make a post about what specifically is in my pencil case later, but the important part is that i have multicolored pens so i can color-code my subjects in my bullet journal.

next up is macbeth. obviously, this isn’t a permanent resident, but i carry it around because it’s convenient to have it for class and not have to stop by my locker. i also occasionally need it for homework.

another important player is my homework folder. since i have a separate binder for each class, i don’t want to be lugging all of them back and forth from home to school every day. instead, i just take home the notes i need and the actual assignment in my homework folder. i would definitely recommend this– last year, my shoulders really hurt whenever I carried my backpack to and from school, and this has been a huge help.

I also have my macbook, which is school-provided.

now it’s time to move on to my subject binders and organization system!

for honors precalculus, i have a 1.5-inch binder with notebook paper and graph paper in the back. in my class, the teacher hands out notes packets, which i stash in my homework folder for daily assignments until the unit is over. once i’m done with homework and notes packets, i just put them back in my binder, organized by unit.

for honors english, i have a 1.5-inch binder with notebook paper in the back. in ela, we have a very specific schedule, and the teacher recommended dividers for each topic. My dividers are vocab, grammar, literature, writing, and other (mostly course documents, schedules, or study guides).

for ap european history, i have a 3-subject spiral with three pockets: homework, notes, and other (mostly class handouts). i write textbook notes in the notebook, but my teacher makes us turn them in, so i rip them out. this is where my binder comes in. i have a 2-inch binder that i keep at home, where i organize all my notes and documents by unit/historical period. this comes in handy because i have all my study materials in one place so i don’t have to go digging through my notebook pockets.

for photography, we have a spiral packet that the teacher gave us, which is where notes and info are stored. i also have a 1.5-inch binder full of sheet protectors for negatives and prints. i keep this at school, in lockers that the teacher assigned to us.

for honors chem, i have a 3-subject spiral with pockets for handouts. most of our assignments for this class are online, so i mostly use my notebook to do practice problems and take notes.

for french 3.5, i have a 2-inch binder to store vocab, grammar, ipa practice (speaking, reading, writing); in-class warm-ups, and completed homework. all of these have their own divider.

This is my toolbox, essentially. I keep all this on me at all times - there are ocassions where I’ll forget a certain pen or something, but never the bujo. Never. I follow this kinda system: 

Forever 21 dump journal - to-do’s, notes, diagrams, prioritization, planning... pretty much any brain action I do is in here.

Any whiteout, pencil, and eraser - for school and journals

Fabriano bujo - cleaner and clearer; calendar, tasks, goals, and lists of things I enjoy doing (because yes, I forget that too). my actual lifeblood, don’t know what I’d do without it

Monster pen case with Tombows, Crayola Supertips, and various highlighters for bujo designs, pretty notes, and schoolwork

R-2 Precision pen - fav pen since it doesn’t skip as much as a normal ballpoint, but a little thick. reserved for bujo and some note titles

And what I keep in my room for studying and reminders:

Daiso magnetic to-do pad - a thousand thoughts pop up as I’m getting in bed because my brain hates me and sleep, so this is for fast-scribble anything I actually need to remember without unpacking my bujo

Animal Party sticky tabs - they’re cute, i want to use them, i organize papers and annotate more. bam

Daiso magnetic whiteboard (not pictured) - used to prioritize, track, and time tasks. Always visible while studying so I don’t start 59304298 things in one evening

Me: *explaining to a class of Grade 2s that I changed the way the picture books are organized so that they can look by topic instead of author* So if you wanted, say, a dog book you could now look for the dog shelf.

Grade 2: *raises their hand*

Me: Yes, Grade 2?

Grade 2: *very curious/worried* Is there a dog section?

Me: Yes, there is. Right at the end of the grey shelves over there.
