Bullet Journal Write-Up – with pictures

Overview I posted a link to a video I made about my return to using a bullet journal. I thought it would be good for a longer write up to explain some of the parts of the bullet journal I am using. This is the notebook cover I made for my bullet journal. Veg Tan …

Back to Bullet Journal

I know some would think I'm a little scattered with my planning approaches, but life is an ever evolving adventure. Here is a video about my bullet journal with some comparisons to the Time Power system as I use it now. Feedback is welcome! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkm5nZAmnfE

First Hiving!

I hived up my first package of honey bees today and I’m pretty darn excited. I purchased this package from Beeline of Colorado. I posted a short video about it over on my Youtube channel.  This is a hyper look at the approximately 5 minute process of the hiving. I expected to be a little …

Hives Painted! and now we wait

I picked up my hive boxes yesterday and gave them a couple of coats of primer and paint.  Now we wait for 6 weeks or so until we have bees.  They will live outside now. This is not their final resting place.  I've got to clear out an area in the yard for them and …

2020 Planner Setup

Yesterday my wife asked me if got a new planner.  I was a little nonplussed for just a bit because I hadn't.  But she continued, "Well, I saw a box from Franklin, so assumed you did."  That's when my man brain finally snapped to what she meant.   I ordered refills of the guts of my …

Overwhelmed by Distractions?

"Time Management" experts seem to encourage getting everything out of your mind and into your trusted collection device - like a planner or app.  I've heard the term 'brain dump' used many times over the past number of years.  I became familiar with the term 'grasscatcher' list over 35 years ago. Brain dumps or grasscatcher …

Goal Setting Reset…

I'm sure I'm not the only person who spends a great deal of time pondering goals and how to reach them. Recently I decided to rethink my long term and intermediate goals to help me gain more focus.  As 2019 came to an end, I recognized that my long term goals had perhaps gotten out …
