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...

One job list is best. Does everyone agree? It means you can focus. You don’t have multiple lists to check and coordinate. However, as with so many things in this life, it’s rarely as simple as that. I use Wunderlist ( Now Microsoft To Do) to keep track of...

I’m six months into my declutter schedule which means I’m halfway through. I’ve been clearing out 6 spots a month since January. So what have I learnt? It can be hard to keep the momentum. Some months it has been easy to dealt with six spots. Other...

I love my big notebook, my daybook, that I write all kinds of things in. However, with so many pages it can be difficult to keep track of which page I’ve written which job list on. The notebook has a ribbon marker but that’s only good for one page, and...
