Life is Fun

I'm really trying to get back to using a Bullet Journal. Really I am. But I've been a little distracted lately. My older two sons have been in town from out of state and the country for a visit. This is the first time these three have been together in almost 4 years (L to …

What Have I Been Doing Lately?

Yep, that’s me! Life is better outdoors! I've not been "planning" much lately, more just waking up and dealing with what the day brings. I've been skiing several times this winter and have had a wonderful time. I hadn't been on skis at all for at least 30 years and have been amazed that I …

June Set Up – Plan With Me

That’s It I don’t understand all the DIY and decorated planner types that lay out the months, weeks, days and even the entire year and all the trackers before they even use their bullet journal. I’m set for June.

Bullet Journal Write-Up – with pictures

What If I’m Wrong?

I know that I’m probably the only person who has ever made a decision about planning materials/supplies/systems that turns out to be wrong. Since I am, please indulge me and read along so that you can avoid the same sort of mistake. One of the real keys for any planning system for me is that …

Note taking

Today is day 2 of the great restart. I thought I would share a couple of pages from my notebook. I'm adapting the bullet journal concept to fit my needs. First off, I hope to use time every morning to plan out my actions during my discretionary time. Today is pretty wide open, so I …

ReStart!

I've not blogged for a while. Sometimes real life gets in the way. But, here is a short update. I've made a decision to commit more to planning and organizing my stuff. To that end, I'm changing my notebook use from Field Notes for bullet journaling to a Clairefontaine My Essentials dot grid A5 notebook. …

Planner Set-up

I thought I would make a post to share my current (evolving) planner set-up. I want to make sure I can always have the tools I need accessible at all times in order to be most effective, but I don’t want too much stuff. My first posts in this blog showed a traditional sized traveler’s …
