I am not a teacher but your teacher dashboard has so many possibilities! I am a stay at home mum and also a work at home mum and I am so inspired to create a similar dashboard with appropriate topics for both home and work particularly! Amazing!
The teacher dashboard and lesson plan at a glance is great for students too! I can see myself using it for the columns "homework" "to do" "email" "see miss/mr" "notes" "revision" as a 'student dashboard' if you will, and then the Monday-Friday spread for homework progress, especially ones that take longer to complete!! Thank you

Really love the Teacher Dashboard idea. Sticky notes would work for me because I'm always in a hurry and my writing is atrocious when I hurry so it would be nice to be able to throw away those ugly notes when I'm done with them, lol.
Those are some really unique ideas!
I personally use them for future planning. If there's something I need to accomplish at some unknown time I just stick it on my currently weekly spread, until Its time to transfer that task to my daily.
I use a lot of post-its too. For example I have a spread for what I like to call long term shopping/wish list, which is things that I know I want to get or should get for the home for example, but they're not a priority. On there I use post-its to group related purchases (like a new craft or hobby I might like to try would get its own list with things I'd need for it). When it's time to actually go spend money on it, I remove the post-it and there's room for a new one. I find this also helps me make sure that I'm not trying to do too many things at once, since I can only fit a certain number of post-its on the page. I also use post-its on a page I have for home organization, since that's something that tends to need to be redone now and then. All different tasks get a stickie note, and I move them further up on the list etc when I come across something in my home that isn't working. It helps me keep track of my priorities, so I don't spend a Sunday every month recategorizing my DVDs instead of making sure stuff isn't falling out of my kitchen cabinets when I open them.
TL;DR Post-its are awesome and useful in a Bullet Journal for things that need planning often or over longer time.
I love the sticky note idea, and reusing spreads. I recently started a mind cleanse to-do spread...but it fills up way too fast. I think I might start incorporating sticky notes into it somehow, so I don't use up all the pages in my bullet journal.
Oh my god thank you for the class spread with the post it notes idea! I'm a student, and I just thought that if I wrote out my timetable like that, I could stick post it notes on it for homework, if I've made notes on the class, revised the topic I learnt ect. Smart! I was looking for solutions to track school work easily, this is it. Thank you very much !!!
I like the idea of swapping out the post-its if I have not completed the item within that period of time.
More please. I loved your teacher bullet journal.
Love the dashboard! I will be setting up one on the inside cover of my EC teacher planner. It's a wet/dry erase board that I thought I would use to jot down brain dumps. This is so much better! It's a more organized weekly brain dump! Thanks for the inspiration!!
Masha'Allah you are a brainy and so creative!
I LOVE this! I use sticky notes in my planner all the time and thought about setting up a bullet journal too but the thought of rewriting calanders etc over and over just seemed such a time waste - this is a great idea and off the back of this video I will definitely be doing a bullet journal.
PostIt has come out with some great color combo packs! I do use them all the time when planning. Not to the function and organization as u do so thank you for the great tips!!!
I think I'm going to use this idea of the weekly spread for my uni classes since they tend to change every week. It will be nice to have a weekly view every sunday night before going into the week :)
Thanks for the inspiration Alexandra ! xx
Love the meal planning idea with the post-its. (Meal planning's hard for me, for some reason.) And also appreciated that you use all kinds and sizes of them. As a retired teacher, I also used (and still use) post-its. Now I mostly use them as brain dumps and then stick them like you did with the "key", as a marker for future spreads in my bullet journal.
I love meal planning idea with sticky notes! Right now I just write it every week but your idea looks such a time saver. I will include this in my new new bujo when I will start setting it up end of August.
I just began journaling and using a Moleskine planner. These suggestions are so helpful! Thanks!!
I just discovered your channel, and I love your ideas and creativity. You are a natural teacher, and I look forward to watching/learning more from your videos!
I love post-it's and your layouts pop.
Great way to recycle a spread obviously, but I hesitate because I want to have a permanent record of my week. So I will experiment with post-its in my bujo and see how I can get both permanence and ease. Good video thanks!
Your ideas changed my life thank you!!
Awesome! I am all over your master grocery list and meal planning...that is the best!!!!!
I'm not a teacher but loved this inspiring post! You have a gift. Holly in Oregon
Thank you so much for your kind words, Holly! xo
Great videos with some helpful ideas.
I found some small post-its on clearance so I got them before I even started in my BuJo. I use them as tabs to show me my most commonly used pages so I can find them fast. I use the bigger yellow ones for writing notes on before I make my page. And like you said to save a page, especially as I set up a new month.
This is genius Alexandra! I plan to use this idea for my writing planning!
I am new to Bullet Journaling, however, I have taken advantage of Post-It Notes -- especially when it comes to lesson planning -- for many years!
I am a retired music teacher for K-8, and I always wrote my lesson plan names/objectives on Post-It notes within my personal lesson plan book, because, for example, while one particular-grade class might blow through a lesson very quickly, one of my other classes at the same level might have more questions or exploratory experiences, and we would not complete lessons at the same pace.
By keeping track of each of each classes' progress with sticky notes, I saved myself a lot of time. After making a few notes about our experiences and crossing off the objectives we did cover in my personal lesson plan book, I simply moved each classes' sticky note with "unfinished business" to the next lesson plan box in my personal lesson plan book.
At the same time, I could "stack" s Post-It note with an interesting topic that I explored with one class at a particular grade level and didn't want any of my other students at that same level to miss out on, by placing that note on their upcoming lesson box in my personal planner.
The sticky note dashboard would be great for a work schedule page. I would love to have it in one spot and just be able to swap out the post-it when needed.
Thanks for sharing this wonderful bujo hack.
As usual, Alexandra, GREAT ideas!
Awesome spreads!!!
I really love the Teacher Dashboard idea and is very unique ideas
very clever!!😃 loved that groceries list
I'm a teacher and l love your teacher dashboard !!! Wonderful idea ! Goal for me ! Thanks for sharing ! 😊
This is SO clever!
Thank you for this video with some great, adaptable ideas. I think your talking was fine. I use Post It notes in my 7"X9" bullet journal, including large ones filling the pages for collections. I found myself wanting or needing to make page changes as I went along, and using the notes gives me that flexibility. I also wanted to avoid time consuming rewrites for more dated entries, such as tasks, monthly and daily logs/do's, and the smaller ones work great. Another thing I have done is turn the book upside down and starting at the other end for tracking entries in two categories which will take undetermined multiple pages. I also use the large Post It notes that cover most of the page for them. One category is where I record ongoing service entries for an adult daughter suffering some disabling medical issues. The other is a daily log of briefly recording actually accomplished to do's or notes of that day. As a result, my journal will be filled up towards the middle somewhere, at which point I will start a new book. Using Post It and Sticky notes indeed save me much time, provide enhanced flexibility, and provide color as I'm not too artistic.
Some great ideas, thanks!
love the idea !!
These are some fantastic tips.
I got the idea! Thank you so much
You just got yourself a new subscriber. I'm planning on starting a bullet journal and your videos have some great ideas, especially the master grocery list and meal plan. I'm looking forward to more videos.
I'm trying the grocery list hack now. Thanks!
I like the teacher dashboard :)
This is the most useful bullet journal video I've found to date. You have a new subscriber as a result. Thanks for sharing. I look forward to more of your videos.
I love your post it note ideas. I'm a huge fan of post it notes in general, but not so much in my bullet journal. i thought I would be because it was an easy way to add a pop of color or to emphasize something very quickly. The issue I'm having with them, especially those little neon ones from dollar tree you were using is that if I leave them on my LT1917 page for more than a day or two they leave a sticky residue on the paper that drives me crazy. It wouldn't matter if you were just putting another sticky note on top of it right away though. Have you had that issue at all?
Thanks! I haven't had an issue with the residue at all, even with the ones from the Dollar Tree.
I know when I was laying out my journal when I got it I used sticky notes from Target dollar spot so I knew which page I planned to use for what, and they left a sticky residue after a day or two. However, the residue has worn off most of the way and it's only been a couple weeks
Hi! I really enjoyed your post-it note video and was sure to subscribe so I can discover more great ideas! I noticed that you have an older video pertaining to the Erin Condren planner. I currently use EC (my 2nd year) and am incorporating bullet journal concepts but the more I research bullet journals, I am considering making a switch. However, I am torn between having some of the "work"/setup done for me (EC) and having a fully customized setup that requires a bit more effort. What prompted you to migrate from EC to bullet journal? I have been mulling this over for a while and have wanted to get an opinion from a former planner user so any feedback you have will be greatly appreciated!!!
On residue: never had a problem with that. Didn't know that could even happen
perfect!
why does it keep pausing so much?
Genius!
your teacher dashboard is so great-OMG!!!!!
It's 2:30 AM and the meals on your post its made me seriously hungry
HAHA wow, watching old bujo videos while I can't sleep (it's 4:30 right now -_-) and I come across this comment. not much has changed, I guess lol
I don't understand what the master grocery list is for? You plan your meals and make a grocery list, so I'm not clear what the huge grocery list is actually meant for? I want to create the shopping list/meal plan that you have, but just not clear on the huge 3 page grocery list. Thanks :)
Where did you get that REMEMBER sticky?
I love using Post Its in my journal. (Our family calendar ("this week" on the fridge) is a good place for the size you are using in your meal-planning. So much easier than writing repeated weekly tasks. Love It.) Back to using them in journal: problem I have had with bright-colored Post Its has been that the ink doesn't absorb well. Leaving notes in books (share this, email this, include this in presentation) was leaving ink in the books. Yuk! Has that smearing problems improved?? I haven't bought them in a few years; I've been sticking to light colors.
Cool :)!
BRILLIANT!! I lovd dis!
Love your grocery list chart do you have a video that I could copy the list from of all the things ingredients that will be needed on the list this will be so helpful thank you
I just got one off of Pinterest. I searched "master grocery list" and a bunch of results popped up!
+alexandra plans Hey thanks a bunch :)
Jolie, you can save your weekly grocery lists and make a master list with them after about a month or two.
You have some great things to say. Your talking is really hard to follow..,it's like you are really distracted or something. Plan out what you want to say and edit!
agreed.
I agreed
I understood her just fine.
Teacher dash board is my new goal. Thanks
When you run out of bullet journal, do you have to copy that whole master list into a new journal?
+CL Rbg Yes! I migrated the whole list over to my second bullet Journal.
+CL Rbg yes! I migrated the whole list over to my second bullet Journal.
alexandra plans Would you say that is a good basic list for any grocery store?
I would say it is, she's got beer and wine on it! jk (okay not really) but it looks pretty comprehensive to me.
I was wondering the same thing. Just investigating this bullet journal idea. Do you usually use one journal a year and so redraw key spreads (grocery, dashboard etc. once a year?
I didn't understand where she bought the post-it that she used for the teacher dashboard :(((
Can someone please tell me??
I think all the sticky notes makes it cluttered and could be easily lost. Other than that, you have some great ideas. But, everyone is different and different things work for different people. :)
If I understand your lesson plan weekly overview correctly, the idea is that, if you didn't finish the planned activity for, say, U.S. History on Monday, you would take the green post-it and move it down to the Tuesday row. If so, wouldn't it make more sense to have the colors stand for courses, not days of the week? In your current spread, for example, the first column would be all green post-its for U.S. History; the second column would be all pink post-its for World History; and so forth.
That's correct. You would just move the post it down if the lesson took longer than expected, etc. You are right, colors should be for the courses, not for days of the week. :)
+alexandra plans actually colors for days could be beneficial. it could emphasize how many days a lesson was extended. If you end up with a monday colored sticky on a friday square, you know you are probably taking waay too long. This probably would have happened to me many times in my first year of teaching. I never wanted to move on until ALL of the kids had totally mastered a concept and so we wouldn't even get close to finishing the curriculum. Nowadays I'm much better at knowing when to move on and my lessons are much more differentiated, but back then such a color code would have been an eye opener.
@[mixituperin] I thought of you.
Omg your voice reminds me of Janis Joplin
the screen is all black
Do you teach classes like this? You seem to struggle with *JUST GETTING TO THE **_POINT!_*
I honestly tried to be patient, but I can't take it anymore. For the first time, in a long time, I'm leaving this video before it ends. I cannot ever come back here! Your wandering mind, without concisely making your points, unnecessarily made my blood pressure shoot through the roof!
I sort of get you. I guess she should have done this video when she actually had stuff written it - would have made it much easier to get the point across.
@@SupaEMT134 gotta love uptight people.
You have some very good ideas but your talking is sooooo hard to listen tooo!!!!!! Please plan out what you're saying or edit all the ginormous pauses you are making by hmmmmming and aaaa-ing.
nel4eto95 you are a jerk. Keep your negative opinions to yourself.
it seems like she struggle breathing and needs to keep swallowing. Maybe she was just anxious
She was easier for me to follow than most.
The video should have been called post it hacks for teachers
great ideas but 17 min video for a post it hack idea isn't worth more then 3-5 min video for me.
talking a lot
