Uni Tips: How I organise my final year to feel less stressed by Romica Spiegl-Jones

October 6, 2017 Romica Spiegl

Hi,

whether you are in your final year or not, these tips will hopefully make it a little less stressful. I just thought I'd share what I'm trying to feel less stressed and I would love to hear how you organise your time and schedule to enjoy your final year at university. In this video, I will share 5 tips with you, which you can find below, as well as how I use my bullet journal to stay organised, and my DIY semester plan to see the bigger picture.

Stay joyful,
Romica

5 TIPS that I practice to stay organised

(1) start early and collect ideas
(2) plan your days e.g. in a bullet journal
(3) break big tasks into small chunks
(4) track your accomplishments
(5) visualise the bigger picture

September 2017 Book Haul: Books for Illustrators by Romica Spiegl-Jones

September 28, 2017 Romica Spiegl

Hi book lover,

are you in need of a beautifully illustrated book for an Illustrator friend or just for yourself? In this book haul I share my recent favourite illustrated books. I hope you can use it to either find a new reading list for yourself or as a gift guide for books for illustrators. I will share with you a beautifully illustrated children's book; an other-wordly experience for lovers of words, multilinguals, and lovers of illustration; and a book full of 18th and 19th century illustrations.

Stay joyful,
Romica
