Hey ruby! I just want to say that you are a real inspiration to me. I can't put into words how much you have helped me! You are an amazing person and my grades have improved so much as you help me to be productive. I'm also excited to read your book! Thank you so much,
Take care of yourself
From you no.1 admirer
Yeah amazing videos
I’m so excited for this Ruby! Thanks for always making incredible videos 💜
hey ruby! how much is the planner going to be?
@@Faith-bk9em in the past, it cost 26 pounds for me (which included EU shipping)
I can’t believe that I’m finally, actually in a position where I need an academic planner! Adore the woodland theme, very heartstopper meets cosy autumn
I got hers last year and absolutely loved it can’t wait to buy this one 💜
And I can’t believe I’m actually in the position of not needing an academic planner anymore. Going to write my Master thesis next term. 😱😄
Wish you luck and success on your new academic journey. 😇
@@lilydelacour Oh thank you!😊 Best of luck with your thesis!
I know, I feel the same this year
same!!! first year at university in september at exeter hopefully! god i am terrified. about to buy this journal hehe :)
My tip is to begin each week/page with a quote or a line of poetry that encapsulates a fresh feeling you want to breathe into that week. If I'm ever in a slump or have big dreams but feel inadequate, my favourite go-to is: "Watch and pray, dear, never get tired of trying and never think it is impossible to conquer your fault"- Little Women, Louisa May Alcott
Oh, I like this!
My academic tip is definitely try and keep everything in one place. Everything!
I am a 37 year old mother of 3 who is going on to her final year at uni in forensic psychology. There's so much to remember, to do etc so I specifically gave myself a committed work area with the tools around me that I need to be able to see and focus. I write everything in one place, to do lists, assignment due dates and so on otherwise its all over and so messy! And a final tip .... don't burn yourself out, make time for yourself and your needs because you can easily become overwhelmed. I wish everyone well in both academic and actual life. Take care, Nikki x
Omg you are such a boss! That’s so inspiring keep going
@@Green-rp6br thank you so much ❤️
Thanks girlie! Forreal tho, I struggle with burnout and doing too much. And the tip about keeping things in one place is honestly pretty smart :) thanks again
@@speakvedder1331 listen to yourself and make sure to slow down when you're starting to feel drained. Always look after yourself ❤️x
I can’t wait for people to see this planner! I really enjoyed working on this with you and I just know people are going to love it! 🍃
I adore the illustrations and really hope you’ll be working together for the upcoming Yearly Planner as well! The cottage core/forest theme is lovely!
First off wonderful job on the illustration! I will forever be enchanted by that whimsical style and you nailed it. Would you ever be interested in illustrating a children's novel? Not so much a picture book, but think small drawings dispersed under chapter headers and some pages? I am almost done with my primary/elementary education degree. I plan to teach and hopefully principal one day, but my dream is to publish children's novels, and I have been looking at people who have a style of art that suits my narratives and values.
I love that you incorporate nature into the planner to reflect changes in seasons just as the student growth changes. We should remember to look into nature as there’s a time for everything. There’s sowing and there’s harvesting.
@@athenaenergyshine7616 exactly, not everything in nature blooms at the same time, and nothing can bloom all year around! Everyone grows at their own pace 🌱
My very best planning tip is to not over schedule your day. I find it very annoying when I make this long schedule of things I would like to do but never end up getting to. Remind yourself there is only so much you can do and it’s better to focus on the big things. I ADORE YOU RUBY AND FIND SO MUCH MOTIVATION IN YOUR VIDEOS. ❤️❤️
This planner looks honestly amazing!!! It has literally everything in it! My top tip is to always remember what a huge privilege studying is and to always find something you are truly interested in and to be grateful for this great opportunity to learn more about things you love :)
I agree with you - the privilege of being able and having the resources to educate yourself (and therefore others) is often overlooked
thanks, I feel like I needed to hear this today
personally, planning was a little hard for me because I would write a lot of tasks down and then I wouldn't complete many and then it would end in me feeling a bit bad and me also wasting a good $5-10. What has helped me a lot was writing down easy little tasks, including self-care, like having a cup of tea or putting away that pair of pants on my bed. Just checking off things, even if they are very easy, gave me motivation to put harder tasks on my to-do lists and keep going!
I hope this helps someone out there, because it certainly did help me!
happy planning, Maya
My tip for studying is to take breaks! It takes so much more effort to keep on studying when your head gets hazy. It really helps me to take a break and keep on studying after that with a clear mind and new energy!
I’ve been eying these planners for years, but was never in the position to actually buy one, because I had been out of school due to mental health issues. I am finally in a better place and starting school again this year, which is a really big step forward for me. I would love to get my hands on one of these wonderful planners to help me stay organized! ❤️
My favourite planning tip is to make it fun! Use all sorts of colours and stickers and whatnot - personalise it, make it your own! I For me, planning is not only just a way to sort out my day but to have an outlet to express myself 🥰💕
my favourite tip is to start my day with the easiest tasks and then gradually move on to the hardest ones , it gradually increases my self confidence and i find that that way i have more energy at the end of the day!!
hiiiiii!! the best advice i can give is not to lose yourself-- your physical and mental wellbeing should be your top priority (including sleep, which should never be sacrificed if possible). maintaining and forging relationships is incredibly important as well and strive to carve out time for people you love even when you're at your busiest. additionally, learn to forgive yourself. my last piece of advice is to let go what you cannot change. if you make small blunders during the day or even giant blunders with giant consequences, let it be because you have done what you could for that day. let the errors go and be better the next day. it's ok. and you will be ok.
Planning is one of the most important things in your daily life. I have tried a lot of different methods (ruby have given me a lot of them) but i found out that all you have to do is try. Try to start a bullet journal, try to plan your day the night before or in the same morning, try notion, try to buy a planner. Everything is trying and knowing that if you fail and maybe the bullet journal is not for you, you can try another thing. There is always a planning method for everyone and if you don’t find it, maybe you’ll have to create your own one as ruby did with her planner!!!
Great planner.
My top planning tip is to have a set day each week that you do your planning on. So you know that every Tuesday, for example, is planning day. It sets you up for a very organised week.
this is such a good tip , i am definitely going to try it out over the summer ! thank you :))
Definitely! This year I started dedicating time on Sunday nights to plan the coming week and it means when I wake up I know exactly what needs to be done and has made me so much more productive!
My planning tip is to write down the mistakes you did in the past (referred to that specific task you're planning), what you could do instead and something new you want to experiment in order to have the best results possible and find the strategy that works best for you to complete that specific task.
I think that writing tips for your future self and allow your strategy to be flexible will help you to improve in your planning and in your efficiency when trying to achieve your goals, without forgetting the precious things you've learnt from experience.
my advice is to dedicate certain areas to certain tasks to maintain sanctity of space (for example, if you relax on the sofa, try not to study there as your brain associates that area with rest!)
Hello!
My top study tip is just being more organized. Bc if you keep being organized everything will be seem easier. And i think that this academic planner is so useful at this point. 🌞🌻✨
The academic planner is so functional!!🌟 My top study tip is giving breaks between two study sessions. Because I think giving break helps to rest your mind. It makes the other study session more productive.
Amazing planner Ruby!
My planning tip: Make sure to plan enough time for rest, as well as time for work.
We live in a society that often tells us that we have to work every minute of the day in order for us to say that we had a productive day. In contrary, working for hours without any brakes just causes us to lose focus and burn out. Always remember that mental health comes first and that breaks are just as important, or even more important than the work we do, that they deserve to be planned.
That planner looks amazing! My top tip is to study with someone else, either in person or using an online study with me. They force you to focus and you feel like you should work hard too. 😄😄
The new planner looks stunning! ✨My top productivity tip is using the pomodoro technique🍅, because it helps me focus better. Also, as a planning tip, I would suggest setting a time in the morning for making the daily plan and journal, so you can set the tone for your day while drinking your morning cup of coffee/tea☕. While making my study plans, I always leave space for having a "plan B", because not everything always goes perfectly according to the plan, and still lets me achieve my goals.
One of my top planning tips is to separate the different parts of your life. You have a academic/work life (or both) and personal life. Create those boundaries by making that distinction when you plan. Then break the categories down e.g lesson, tutorials, lectures… for academic, shifts or events for work, meet ups, parties, birthdays… for personal. I have different calendars which I can view in one calendar for planning my time (google calendar). Thats why I love Ruby’s stationary so much because it allows me to focus on the different aspects of my busy life at different times. I hope my tip helps somebody. Thanks. Love your videos.
My top planning tip is to do more tough tasks in the morning and keep them at top of our to do list. As we remain focused the most in the morning it will be easier to do the daunting works.
Love the planner, so aesthetic.
My best study tip is to always put your health first, no matter what. To take breaks, go on walks and wind down after a day of studying. Love your content Ruby! And I’m looking forward to see what you will be up to on your gap year!
love this planner so much!!! my top planning tip is to know that you can plan any time of the day. Even if i wake up and haven't been prductive until 2pm for example, it is not too late to plan out the rest of my day and make it productive. I sometimes feel discouraged if my start in the day was not as planned, so I have to remind myself that it is completely fine that not everything has to go according to plan and that I do not have to be producitve 24/7.
My best planning tip at this point is that the best thing to do is try out different methods and find out for yourself which one works for you. There are so many planning tips online and not all of them will work for everyone. Don't be afraid to try different things! Love what you do! :D
Didn't need to watch this video to know that I needed this planner. I absolutely adored last year's!!!
My tip is: get yourself organised or stress will take over. Make sure to plan your day first thing in the morning or the night before so you'll have a clear understanding of the amount of work to do and the time you need to spend doing it.
My biggest piece of advice is to enjoy the journey. Speaking as someone who's near the end of her undergraduate studies after studying through COVID lockdowns and the like, enjoy the process and the journey. Don't feel like you have to be productive 24/7 and don't skip out on fun events or socialising for the sake of your studies. You will be more productive if you take care of yourself than if you work yourself into the ground.
Yeah I didn’t work myself into the ground I barely had any work but developed such bad social anxiety and feel little connection to my uni 😂 I’m in second year but now I just feel demotivated to attend social events 😢 It’s quite lonely but I somewhat prefer the freedom of being alone
So excited for this! My top tip would be good lighting. I’ve always found lighting to be one of the main reasons I dislike studying at school. It’s important to find the right environment so you can be the most productive!
My top planning tip is to always write down the task on the page of the day before it is due! So if I have to finish a task by Thursday I will write it down for Wednesday. And when I finish it earlier, I feel like I am working ahead. This way I don't put too much pressure on myself to do the task earlier than needed if I don't find the time to finish it that day and I always see what I have to do over the upcoming week/month. The planner looks amazing! :)
Absolutely beautiful planner and a must for university.
My top planning tip: set a specific topic/subject to a certain day in the week. As a university student studying biomedicine, it's hard to keep focused while doing many different modules on a single day. Apart from Monday's [Practicals day], I deligated a single module to a corresponding day (e.g. Tuesday = Biochemistry, Wednesday = Cell biology, ect.) to help me maintain focus and interest, essential for any upcoming assignments.
Congratulations Ruby on your amazing results from university, your an inspiration.
Hello, my top tip is to ... begin planned tasks before getting into a cozy mood - having cleared your desk/space and prepared materials the night before to prevent procrastination; the planner looks lovely and pre-made planners such as your own would be very helpful in staying organised and motivated :)
Really good tip, it’s a good reminder for me because I be getting really disorganized, and I think setting up a calm cool place would help me feel more relaxed :) 💕
Hi! This planner is just something else. My tip is simple but I feel like people don't do it all the times and end up forgetting. Choose a day from the week to set everything you have to do for that week and to also schedule your week. In the past, I would just set it when I felt like it so I would forget things and with time I stopped using the agenda at its full potential.
This way I am always on top of things and I also get motivated for the start of a new week!!
This planner looks amazing! It has so much content and will help me become more organized throughout the year! My top tip is that if you start feeling stressed out or are not able to focus on your work, what helps me is to take a few seconds (or minutes) to look outside or spend time outside. It could simply be to look out your window to the sky, the clouds, the trees, or to go outside and take a few moments for yourself. It helps me get back in touch with understanding how precious life is and how I am given so many opportunities to learn and grow, especially with school because it is such a privilege for me to have :) thank you so much for reading
The planner turned out amazing!! My favourite organisation tip is to pre-define an order in which you're going to do your tasks, it takes away the procrastination that comes from always having to decide what to do next :D
I’m going back to school this year after a huge break due to illness, I can’t wait to buy this it will help me so much 🌲🌼🌿🌸🌳
Good luck
I'm so happy that you're better, wish you the best for the new school year.
sending so much love & light. hope you’ll have a lovely time!! 💛
@@mysmallstudycorner thank you!
@@CrisOnTheInternet thank you so much best wishes to you also
Great job Ruby and Anna!! This looks like the dream planner 🍄
My main hacks are to sort out the tasks by order of importance and priority, and also to create a key to differentiate tasks which need to be done daily, weekly, monthly or just one time. This definitely makes life easier 🙂
Planning and steadying tip: consistency and pacing is key. Also knowing your limits and when to push them or when to pause, take a step back and breath. 😊
This planner is so adorable and efficient! My top tip/ how I plan for university is by making to-do lists with 3 priority tasks that I have to do that day, alongside less important tasks that I could do or I can move to another day if I don't have time. I tend to split assignments over a long period of time and do chunks of it depending on how much energy I have that day, so eventhough 3 tasks seem like a low number I put alot of time and effort into the 3 things I focus on. This upcoming year is my final year so I hope I can incorporate regular revision (even if it is a little) and do more extra reading.
Edit: I usually do weekly planning so I can ensure I'm making progress, so if you're going to use this method just make sure you check up on your overall progress.
This year I am beginning my A Levels and my main goal is to get fully back on track since the pandemic. When I was younger I loved academics and secondary school, I suppose I fell into the trap of trying to fit in. Then the pandemic rolled along and I found my love again until GCSES started where realistically I was exhausted. Now I am more motivated than ever before and want to branch out on goals as such as further reading, appreciating those around me. You can learn a lot from a pandemic. Hope everyone is doing okay, we've almost come out of the other end.
Hi which A-Levels are you planning on taking? I just finished Year 13!
@@user-kp1bh6wi7z Hello!! I'm taking politics, english lit and history - a lot of essays. what ones did you take?
@@lylabarrett-rye wow we almost have the same subjects! I did History, English Language & Literature (it was one subject combined), and Biology
This planner is awesome!!
For me, I dont have a planner so I usually buy notebooks for different things etc. books reviews, to do list, calendar. This planner has everything i needed, and its prefect for me to keep things organised in one book! :) You’ve done a great job on making this! Thank you!!
My planning tip is to colour code! I am at university and colour code each of my different modules to make it easier to see at a glance what I have coming up! I can’t wait to get this planner for myself!
Thank you so much for another incredible planner
As a PhD student I have been in uni for 8 years (wow). I am a planner enthusiast & one of my best advices is to not plan for the sake of planning, for the sake of "having sth planned = feeling productive". Be careful not to over plan / micro manage your day and get burned out. This being said, I like how Ruby's planner is like this "student life hub" where you can feel safe and enjoy planning and enjoy using the planner to be productive : I have yet to try this planner but just from the videos I can see how she truly enjoys using it herself and how planning doesn't seem to be a boring task, but a fun one.
Planning tips
Every year reflect. What went right, wrong and how to make it better.
This planner is great for doing that as it makes you think about yourself and steps that you need to take to become better.
Think holistically on improving habits in all areas of your life. which will ultimately make you a better student.
Keep striving to learn and how to study better.
Write as much down. Dont keep it in your head. Your head is already full. Be kind to your neurone.
This year's theme is my favourite so far; it's too cute! 🍄🍃
My planning tip is, when you have a busy day ahead, to plan your day the night before. This way you clear your mind before you go to sleep, and you have an idea of what you'll be doing the next day. Also, you can get started right away and don't lose any time with planning or deciding what you're going to do first. 🙂
The woodland theme looks absolutely beautiful!
My planning tip is to write one thing that you know you will enjoy doing on your to-do list each day and block a time frame to do it (so that your more urgent tasks don't constantly take over your time for things you enjoy).
my top planning tip is to write everything down even if you think you won't forget it. I love you so much Ruby, thank you for this fantastic planner
The planner looks amazing:) My top planning tip is breaking down a big task into a few small ones. Set specific goals for each day. In addition, I recommend adding a special event every week so you would look forward and be more motivated to complete your tasks such as (having dinner with friends, playing tennis\dancing, etc.)
I love all the illustrations and the thought behind each spread, you really outdid yourself :) I’m nervous about going to university next year but watching your videos always makes me excited for my future academic challenges. While it’s kind of an ironic tip, my planning tip is to spend less time planing (even though I love to do it). Whenever I get caught up in making my to do list perfect I realize that I’m not doing the tasks I really want to do. Plans are amazing, but the best part about planning is seeing your dreams come about with action so it’s best to keep plans simple and concise! Thank you again for making such a student-oriented planner! It’s amazing 😊
This planner looks amazing!!!
My top planning tip is to always write down my to-do list a day before, so it will motivate me more. Also, I always try to do my planning outside so I could get some fresh air and think better! :))
I can't wait for this planner, I've loved the past two sooo much.
My top tip for planning is, take the planner everywhere you go, and write everything in it. Even if it's something simple as when a book or TV show that your looking forward to is released. Then your checking your planning all the time and it will remind you of any super important deadlines or reminders.
📚💙
This new planner looks amazing, Ruby!! In my opinion, I believe that blurting is the best study tip as it allows you to remember and retrieve all of the key information that is necessary. I love that blurting shows where you have misunderstood or forgotten key information, so you can spend the time re-learning the key information. It truly allows you to work smarter :)
My top planning tip is to keep a little digital version of your plans too - e.g. I keep a brief version of the plans on the calendar on my phone just in case I forget to take my planner with me somewhere / something happens to it, I’ll still be aware of my plans :)
Thank you so much for your presence in this space Ruby, you inspire and motivate us all! My top study tip may sound obvious, but I can’t begin to express how much it has helped and saved me this past semester. Here it is: save and download a simple calendar (the “calendar” app on apple devices works well, but any simple calendar will do the trick!) that covers each month of the semester (eg January - May), either print or download onto an annotating device. Now, transfer all syllabus tasks and assignments down on this calendar on the corresponding day. This is a simple, easy, visual technique that saves so much time and energy in the future - glance over the calendar each day/week and you will always know when you have assignments coming up, when things are due, what things should be prioritized and when. Happy planning and studying!
Hi Ruby ! I already love your new planner, last one has helped me so much over the school year to be more productive and motivated (thank you)... My top planning tip would be to take a bit of time at the beginning of each month to customize and plan the new month's pages. I 'd always make sure to set the right ambiance, play some music, open the windows or light a candle...so it really becomes a delightful relaxing moment. Life can get overwhelming quite easily and taking this creative break allows me to breathe, take a step back and feel prepared to enter the month confidently. 🍁🍂🦔🌟
my favorite study tip would be to always write down a quote that resonates with you that day, I find that it sticks with me throughout the day and makes it easier to be inspired, sometimes it will be something I've been told, something I heard in a book/online but most days it's one of my own ones!
eeee I love how you've personalised the planner ! my top study / organisation tip as a (nearly !) year 13 student is to make revision resources as you go along - this means when it comes to exams, you will have all the resources to revise from which saves so much precious revision time ! bonus tip: i love to watch Ruby's videos before studying as they help me to have a focused mindset
I'm going into year 12 soon (eek) so this is very helpful advice thank you :) good luck in your exams!!
@@fig8995 aw thank you ! Good luck to you aswell :)
Forreal this tip is good. Like when it gets to finals I admit, it’s kind of hard for me to study, but I’m getting a little bit better at making resources as I go along 💕😁 Good luck everyone!
My tip is: I make a list of what i need to do the night before, so i can clear my mind and also have a heads up of what to do tomorrow. I will also watch one of your videos Ruby for inspiration!
I agree, I need to start doing this more :)
Lovely planner! I have always been a list maker and still prefer paper. When I notice all of the completed tasks that I have marked off, it is encouraging to realize that I have accomplished more than I realized. :)
So excited for the release of the new planner - it looks incredible, especially with all of the new pages and beautiful woodland theme! I have absolutely loved using my academic planner for the past year! ❤️ My planning tip would be to write a longer to-do list for the whole week at the start of the week, and then insert the tasks in each day suiting whatever priorities you have for the day. I find that this is helpful to provide motivation both at the start of the week and then each day! This will especially be helped with the new monthly and weekly spreads in the planner! 📖🥰
I love the look of the planner i looks amazing. My organisation tips is to have a tub to put thing lying around your room in then put them away when you have time. I can not wait for this academic planner to come out.
My top planning tip is to set a time each week to set your planner up for the upcoming week. This was essential to ensuring I used my planner more often! Also, keeping it places where it would be most accessible to me when I need it!
I absolutely loved the planner!! One of my tips is to be realistic. If you do the opposite, it usually becomes overwhelming and you end up not making everything you wanted to, which may discourage you in the following days.
Hope everyone has an amazing summer! ☀
So excited to use the new academic planner!!! The woodland theme is so cozy and wholesome 🌳🌾🍄
loved it! my favourite study/organisation tip is always to write down everything that comes to my mind on post its or a little notebook when studying (it doesn't have to be work related). Doing so you will have a clearer mind and won't be worrying about something that doesn't belong to that time you are dedicating to studying, as well as having all your thoughts in one place really organised
I'm so excited for this one, Ruby!
My top tip: take care of your mental health (= good mental state), sleep 7-8 hours preferably (= energy) and have a designated planning day to organise your life (= motivation and discipline)! You can never go wrong with these three.
(Thanks for the work you put into these planners, I especially love the random little drawings and notes, it's super cute)
I love planners so much and yours looks so gorgeous and amazing!
My top tip is daily reflection, to come at the end of the day or even the next morning and reflect on what you did through the day, how amazing you did (because through this you’ll see the hidden beauty of the day you buried by sad moments) and how short you come ( to keep yourself accountable and make sure/set intention to do better the next day(which will make you more likely to do so)), really life changing tip.
i adore your videos. i've just be rewatching so many old videos of yours. Your videos inspire me so much. :)
I'm so happy that you're following your dreams and making them real. Take care~
My planning tip would be writing down tasks from most important/urgent to least important, and devide each in small tasks. It really helps me keeping an overview in what I'm doing, and I feel more motivated when I can cross something off the list!
Also planning has really helped me keep up my uni work and mental health at the same time. I feel less stressed since I can see on paper what needs to be done. It has also made my days more structered, which has really improved my mental health! I can finally find the time to take actual breaks from all the work I'm doing (like taking a whole weekend to do something fun/relaxing).
The planner looks amazing and I will definitely buy one when they are released! I'm finishing my bachelors degree next year and I know it's going to be a lot of hard work, so some structere will be vey helpfull :)
cutest planner ever!! I feel like it would help me decrease the absurd amount of notebooks I use for different planning things! My top study tip is going back through all your notes and highlighting and making them colorful when reviewing for a quiz/test. Also finding fun TH-cam series, podcasts, and books to supplement what you’re learning to make it more fun!!
Yay! I'm so excited about the planner this is all so amazing Ruby! You've come so far it's almost unbelievable. You're so inspiring and my role model.
I think my top study tip is to have some nice ‘to dos’ on your list as well as the stuff you need to do. It doesn’t have to be huge, just things like ‘make a cup of the new tea I bought’ or ‘have a shower with my nice smelling soap’
The planner looks so good this year! My top tip is to keep a list of all the revision/ tasks you’ve done so if you’re feeling overwhelmed you can have confidence that you’ve done something. Something is always better than nothing!
This planer looks so beautiful and well thought trough, congratulations Ruby! What helps me when I feel overwhelmt is writing every smal thing down that is in my head like things to do, to remember etc. and then see which ones are the most important. I also like writing down quotes. Have a nice summer everyone :)
My biggest tip is to always make sure you are going back and updating your planner. Things change, things come up and dates can change. Furthermore, with your weekly and daily lists it can be useful to update them periodically because you may realize you need to focus on something else instead than your initial plan after attending a class or getting an email. It’s important to be flexible in your to do list to be able be productive and get everything done with changing needs.
Love the thoughtfulness of the Self care pages! 💖
My top tip: double, triple, however many times check over your deadlines! Deadlines whether for bills, school, whatever. Don’t rely on the school/teachers/whoever to remind you. And it’s not just about missing the deadline, but checking in the status of something ensures you’re not being ripped off/are getting something that you may no longer want/forget something/etc. Just don’t feel ashamed/scared to check something over. It shows diligence and commitment 💕😁 Good luck everyone, thank you Ruby for the planner, and if ur still reading this wut up! 🤙🏽
My best study tip: never underestimate the value of flashcards!! You have to go through all of your notes carefully to be able to formulate the questions for flash cards then write them down on the actual cards, which is valuable studying in itself. Then, with the flashcards you can study anywhere while you are doing anything. I've used flashcards for everything from high school biology to advanced constitutional law in law school!
I love the woodland theme so much, definitely my favorite as well! 😍
This year, my first year in university, I discovered my new favorite planning tip, which is that it is more important to have a plan for the week than for the day, as i found that the work I had to do was more time consuming than in high school. So I think the new pages in the planner are spot on! I wish you all the best as you embark on this next year after graduation! 💚
here's a planning tip i learnt from this book called make time that has helped me out a lot: to-do lists have their flaws especially if they are not prioritised especially bc we tend to do things just for the satisfaction of ticking a box and not getting the most important things done, so in order to get those priorities right, try to select one major task that you would call a "highlight" and focus most of your energy on getting that done before making your way through to the other tasks and you don't even have to complete your highlight first thing in the morning if that's not how you function but as long as you get it done, that's what matters. hope this helps, and congratulations ruby on launching yet another academic planner. you inspire me so much 💜
This year's planner looks beautiful!! For me, I find that changing places when studying can be really helpful, I love switching between the university library to a coffee shop to my room. Every time I go to a different space it helps refresh my mindset and feel more productive!
I love that you’re making another planner this year! I bought yours last year and it was such a life saver! Can’t wait to pick up a new one 🥰
Love the planner! My study tip is sitting at the same spot on campus every morning - I make it a challenge to get there as soon as that building opens which motivates me to get moving and starting to study
I can’t believe how far you have come and what you have achieved. You work hard and put all your effort into the stuff you do. And you inspire me so thank you soo much. Love your content!!! 😊😊
I can't wait to get this planner!! So excited! My top planning tip is to write down all my upcoming assignments, due dates and to dos for the week on Sunday night 💛
I’ve got an alarm set for when this planner comes out! I’m so excited and proud of you Ruby. A productivity hack I often use is before I sit down and begin studying, I will journal about my day. It helps me clear my head and relax before I begin sometimes a long day of studying. :)
My weekly planning tip -
1) Firstly, I write down all the tasks I want to accomplish. ( I use different colors for different subjects)
2) Then in Google Calendar I slot in all the fixed tasks. (eg: works, online classes, etc.)
3) Then slot in the fun activities (eg: reading books, watching youtube videos, etc.)
4) Then all the studying I need to do.
If I find I don't have enough time to complete all the tasks I set out for the week then I cut down the time spent on fun activities.
Hope this helps someone :)
The planner looks amazing! Love you Ruby.
So excited to get this planner!! My top tip is to plan each week out in advance, and then go back in each morning to add detail. That way, you have a general idea of your week, and then you can plan each day specifically 😊
Oh love this video. My top study tip is using pomodoro to more effectively work through a to do list. But not being restricted to the traditional timings for a pomodoro. Depending on how productive you are feeling the timings can be flexible. Not always 20 mins work 5 mins off
This looks so beautiful!!! This fall I’m going back to school after a 6 year hiatus and I’m very excited to use your planner!
My planning/organization tip is to have EVERYTHING ready fhe night before! To-do list written out, bag ready to go, clothes laid out… makes such a difference to the morning (whether for school or work), especially on those days when you accidentally sleep in!
I love this new planner! It is better every year, congratulations!
One of my top planning tips is just to make a call with a friend at the moment we both are going to organice our day to try to make a similar planning. With this, if in a moment we feel lazy, we know that the other one is having a similar routine and you feel motivated to continue because you are not alone in it. (I don’t know if it make sense but for us it really works).

Can't wait for the planner to come out! As a person who struggles with focussing and concentration (hurray for adhd) and is also very chaotic, I definitely recommend to make your schedule for the day or week visual. Not just putting a date and time in your planner, but divide your day into blocks and then draw how much space of the day the task/appointment will cost you. This way you won't (or at least not as much as before) plan too many things on one day, or even plan things that will overlap each other. And for the focussing part I definitely recommend putting a study with me on youtube in the background. Thank you Ruby for being an inspiration for so many of us!
Loving the new planner! I've used last year's one and am super excited to use the new one.
I organise myself in the evening by packing my bag, laying out an outfit I wanna wear and writing down the most important events and things to do for the next day. That way, I don't forget anything important and can get ready in the mornings without any delays or stress.
So excited about this planner! My best study tip is to always fill your breaks with a relaxing/ fun activity- this way you won’t be having a break for the sake of not working, but rather doing something actively entertaining between studying :)
Lately, study with me have been really helping, even better if they are live, on youtube or twitch. They are a great help to concentrate and feel accountable
this planner looks amazing, i’m so excited for it! i remember being so excited for the first one that came out. my top organisation tip is listing everything you need to bring for an event or an occasion and ticking it off as you pack it to prevent leaving anything important at home. it’s worked amazing for me as im very forgetful with my stuff :)
hope you have a good academic year!
I am so in love with this planner and I can’t wait to get it!!! I have been using your planners since you first launched them and omg I love them so much!!! My study tip would be to find a place that you enjoy and you feel relaxed ( like a cute cafe or a library) and to go with someone especially in the days where you don’t feel much like studying but you have to
Thanks for all the work you’ve put into this for us Ruby, I’m so excited for another year with my favorite planner!!! My top study tip is to rewrite and organize my notes that I take in class. They’re always messy, so rewriting them makes them easier to read/study as well as refamiliarizing myself with the material!
