In my part of the world, it’s probably going to be hot for a while yet. But fall officially starts later this month, and pumpkin spice is back at Starbucks (along with the fabulous new Apple Crisp Macchiato!), so I decided to go full steam ahead with a fall bullet journal for September. September Cover…
I’m a firm believer that the key to many aspects of life is to simplify. There’s so much freedom to be found in removing clutter (be it physical or mental) and streamlining processes. But often the process of making things simpler can actually be quite complex — and daunting. Where do you start? How much…
This journal, I’m challenging myself to avoid setting concrete themes for the months. Instead, I’m focusing instead on colors and patterns. It’s kind of a fun change, and also harder than I expected. For my August 2021 spreads, I started with the blue and black color scheme, and everything just kind of flowed from there….
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…
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. 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…
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…
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…
