You have to write it down

You have to write it down

by Annastasia | Jan 14, 2024 | Diaries and Journals, Inkdrops, Lists, Living, organisation, Planning, Seasons

If you look at our January luxe print, you might think that it’s a bit early to be thinking about 2025! And way too early to be writing anything down.  But here’s the thing, we forget. If you’ve ever kept a diary, you’ll find yourself reading past as if they were...
Discovering Job List Zero

Discovering Job List Zero

by Annastasia | Aug 21, 2022 | declutter, Diaries and Journals, Inkdrops, Living, organisation, Planning, routine

It happens. Your job list gets so out of control that job list zero is the only answer. We’ve all heard of inbox zero. Let me introduce job list zero.  It started out with a really busy few months. Lots of things to fit in every day and not enough time to do...

Time for our monthly links roundup. Because we could all do with some distractions right now. Bored with Netflix? Run out of cupboards to organise? Then have a look at this post on things to do with your fountain pen during the lockdown. Surely anyone who says they...
Looking ahead to 2019 (and a giveaway!)

Looking ahead to 2019 (and a giveaway!)

by Carla | Dec 21, 2018 | Diaries and Journals, Giveaway, Inkdrops

Well, 2018 is almost over and 2019 is approaching, and as ever, we prefer to look forward than back. So we have a copy of the Accidental Memoir to give away – a wonderful way of writing a “guidebook to yourself” without having to sit down and...
4 questions to ask when planning for 2018

4 questions to ask when planning for 2018

by Annastasia | Nov 27, 2017 | Diaries and Journals, Inkdrops, organisation

There’s just over a month until 2018 starts which for me means it’s time to start thinking about 2018 and what my plans will be. Plus it’s a handy distraction from dealing with Christmas preparation and worry about what to gifts to buy for the 3 secret Santa schemes I...
Bujo January

Bujo January

by Annastasia | Feb 6, 2017 | Bullet Journal, Diaries and Journals, Inkdrops, Lists, notebooks

January is a great month for bujo activities. You can start a bujo at any time but it seems extra awesome to do it at the start of a new year. Annastasia’s musings on her bujo I took up bullet journaling in the latter part of 2016. Since then I really struggled...
Bullet Journal Continuity – keeping information flowing between journals

Bullet Journal Continuity – keeping information flowing between journals

by Carla | Nov 15, 2016 | Bullet Journal, Diaries and Journals, Inkdrops

While talking through our special edition Christmas boxes (there’s a Harry Potter one and a Get Bulleting bullet journal subscription on their way in the next week or two – keep an eye on our blog, social and newsletter to be the first to get your hands on...
How do you set monthly intentions in a bullet journal?

How do you set monthly intentions in a bullet journal?

by Annastasia | Oct 31, 2016 | Bullet Journal, Creative, Diaries and Journals, Inkdrops, Lists, Living, organisation

I really struggle with setting intentions. I’ve been finding the monthly intentions page in my bullet journal the most challenging thing to fill in. ‘What do I want from the month ahead?’ is a question that vexes me. Mostly I want to have crossed...
Bullet journalling in a new notebook

Bullet journalling in a new notebook

by Annastasia | Sep 19, 2016 | Bullet Journal, Diaries and Journals, Inkdrops, Lists, Living, notebooks, organisation, routine

It’s the third week of my bullet journalling efforts and I’ve finally managed to draw something on a daily page! This week saw me add in a daily ‘to cook’ section as well as separate out my activities. While I suspect my layout will continue to...
In which I try a second week of bullet journalling

In which I try a second week of bullet journalling

by Annastasia | Sep 12, 2016 | Bullet Journal, Diaries and Journals, Handwriting, Inkdrops, Lists, Living, notebooks, organisation, routine

It’s week 2 of my bullet journalling experience (experiment seems a bit strong no matter how far I feel I’m being pushed from my comfort zone). I haven’t developed amazing art skills but it’s been interesting! Weekly spread My weekly spread...
In which I finally try bullet journaling

In which I finally try bullet journaling

by Annastasia | Sep 5, 2016 | Bullet Journal, Diaries and Journals, Handwriting, Inkdrops, Lists, Living, notebooks, organisation, routine

I’m clearly not an early adopter. And as regards bullet journalling I’m officially late to the party. Carla has shown me her own journal on several occasions but I’ve always resisted the urge to try it out. It looked complicated and quite probably...
The magic is in the practice

The magic is in the practice

by Carla | Jun 14, 2016 | Articles, Creative, Day in the life, Diaries and Journals, Handwriting, Inkdrops, Living, notebooks, routine

It’ll come as no surprise to discover I’ve had a love of journalling for my whole life. From the newsy childhood letters exchanged with my best friend, through my drama-soaked teenage diaries to the current almost-daily handwritten download of my brain....
