Join me as I dive deep into the world of Doodle & Dream, a student success activity book for motivation and goal-setting.
Creating the Student Success Book of My Dreams
When I began brainstorming a book for students, I knew I wanted to prioritize motivation and inspiration. I wanted to create a book that would be considered a school companion for success—an essential tool that can be carried in and out of home and school just like a pencil and notebook paper would be.
The thoughts and ideas swirled around my mind for many months thinking about what would make up the elements of my creative and inspiring student success book. I asked myself what my teenage self would have wanted in a book such as this and I was not disappointed with what came to mind. I wanted it to include elements of:
Motivation
Having a dedicated book to help pull you through tough school days keeps your success mindset and mental health a priority. Positively starting one’s student week will most likely help keep you focused and motivated in achieving one’s goals. What makes this motivating book so special is that each student will add their unique flair and personality to each of its pages.
Inspiration
It is the activities within this book that provide a unique perspective into the life of each student. Drawings within the doodle and coloring pages, advice in the form of positive student affirmations, or moments to celebrate your achievements through the idea and success boards inspire you to continue to do your best and acknowledge the wonderful person you are.
Goal achievement
The integrated weekly goal organizers provide students with manageable to-do lists, reminders to keep the top 3 goals set for the week, and moments to reflect on what they are most grateful for at that moment in time. It keeps students aware of their goals and accountable for the activities they hope to achieve.
Creative Freedom
I love that students can express themselves by drawing on its doodle pages and can make notes of all their amazing ideas and thoughts in both the weekly organizers and reflection sections. Ultimately, I wanted this book to make student days more fun and stress-free.
The result was an all-in-one powerhouse of success: part scrapbook, goal-setting organizer, coloring book, and self-awareness notebook. It is finally here and available to purchase worldwide through Amazon.com! I hope it brings joy and inspiration to students’ lives everywhere.
