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. These are things that I use consistently, month-to-month, and often day-to-day. Some of them, I’ve used since I started bullet journaling in 2017; others I found more…
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…
February is an interesting month for me now. After living in China for four years, the beginning of a new year feels a bit more spread out than it used to. The school year there always extended into the first week or so of January, and winter break was structured around Lunar New Year, which…
In January of 2017, I started my very first bullet journal. Prior to that, I had spent years trying to establish better habits and planning, to varying degrees of success. But starting that first bullet journal definitely marked a turning point, and I’ve kept up with it almost every single day over the past four…
We’re finally here: the last day of 2020. And with that ending, of course, comes the beginning of 2021 and — for me, at least — a new bullet journal. I’m really excited about how these pages turned out! I’ve been planning and sketching them over the past few weeks, and they all came together…

I think there’s a misconception that, for writers, writing (and writing well) comes easily. In my experience, the reality is that, as a writer, you end up agonizing over everything you write, no matter how inconsequential. Every word choice, every sentence, every text message or email or journal entry. You want to live up to…
In this particular journal, I’ve been making a point to experiment with my layouts. I’ve made my calendar spreads larger than usual, I’ve changed up my daily layouts from month to month, and I even turned an entire month sideways. So, in keeping with that goal, I decided to try something this month that is…
Today I want to talk about a specific page in my bullet journal. I’ve mentioned this page before, but I’d like to go into a little more detail now. The page is, of course, my mantras page. A mantras page is a place to collect and refer back to quotations that you find encouraging or…
Several weeks ago, I wrote about some of my favorite lists that I have made and used time and time again. This week, I decided to revisit that topic and discuss some other useful list ideas. 1. What To Do When I Feel… This is a useful reference for when you aren’t feeling your best….
