How would you describe your dream job? For many, it’s doing something they love and getting paid for it. In order to reach this goal, you might decide to monetize your hobby (or hobbies) so as to gain income from something you would do anyway because you love it. Earning money from a hobby does…
In my last post, I mentioned that I had transitioned to a new productivity platform for time management and organization. That platform is called ClickUp. In this post, I want to explain my ClickUp system, and some tips and tricks I’ve learned along the way. I’ve been using ClickUp for a few months now, and…
By now I’ve made it clear that I’m a huge proponent of routines. Without solid routines, I feel disorganized and like I’m perpetually forgetting something. But the thing about routines is that they aren’t perfect. Eventually, there comes a time when the routines aren’t working anymore. There could be several reasons this happens, but whatever…
Recently, I found myself falling into a pattern of getting distracted by certain apps on my phone during working hours. It was becoming a bad habit, so I knew I had to figure out a way to a) stop getting distracted in the first place and b) get back to work more quickly after being…
It’s that time of the year: time to move into my new bullet journal for the second half of 2021. This is only part of my six-month reset process, but it’s a big part. This year especially, I felt that I needed to re-evaluate some of my processes. I’ve done some of that already, but…
As I gear up for my second bullet journal for the year, I thought I would take some time to share some of my favorite bullet journaling supplies.

When it comes to routines that keep me organized and focused, resetting at regular intervals is probably the most important. As I’ve written before, I rely on several different “levels” of resets that I set time aside to complete at certain times. Now, as we head into the month of June, it’s time for one…
As we head into June, I’m coming to the end of my current bullet journal. While I haven’t written about the past few months’ spreads, I haven’t stopped making them. Here’s a quick peek at my themes for March, April, and May: April especially was a favorite of mine, because of the color combination and…
As a recovering people-pleaser, I struggle almost daily to find the balance between taking care of myself and being considerate of others. Both are important, of course, and I think we all — fellow people-pleasers included — understand and acknowledge that. So why does this struggle exist? Based on my experience, I think it stems…
How much time do you spend with yourself? And I don’t mean just by yourself — how much time do you spend in self-reflection or self-care? See, just like relationships with others, your relationship with yourself takes work and quality time. So making a point to check in with yourself regularly is an important practice…
