Ahh, bullet journals. We’ve talked before about how their primary purpose is being practical. Also how it doesn’t matter whether they are pretty or not. Just as long as they help you stay organised and on top of the chaos that is modern life. (Or at least,...

Hello September. Welcome back with your nip in the air and excuse to buy a new pencil case. We love the way you are like an early start to the new year (so we can practice changes before we decide exactly how it’s all going to be different next year). September...

In a delightful twist of irony, I have been so busy setting up & using my bullet journal, I utterly forgot to blog about it last week. The best laid plans… As I’ve finally left my day job to focus on my businesses full time, I had a lot to squish in this...

It was very nearly a disaster. It was a Sunday. I’d done my weekly planning in the morning, organised my calendar for the week and made my lists. I’d been to a meeting at my studio and written down all the points. Then I measured up my space so I could buy...

Every year, I nearly miss my beloved Poppy’s MOT date. One year, I actually did forget. It was only when Dad said “how did she get on in her MOT” and then cracked up at my horrified face, which clearly said “what MOT… oops” that I...

We’ve been having a delightful August. Although there was an unfortunate rain shower during a cycling expedition last week. Happily, the weather stayed dry enough to lie in the garden drinking tea and watching the Perseid meteor shower. Who doesn’t want to...

Lists! Lists of lists of lists of lists… they’re great, but sometimes they can get a bit much for even the most enthusiastic of list-makers raises hand sheepishly. My beloved bullet journal is still going strong and has been something of a lifesaver in recent...

Who doesn’t love stickers? Perfect for livening up folders and notebooks. Splendid at envelope decoration. Lovely added to letters. Delightful in a bujo. In fact, I’ve even livened up my plain grey water bottle with some stickers. It’s like sewing...

Intention pages in a bullet journal were something I really struggled with. I hoped when I started with bullet journaling that I’d uncover hidden artistic talents and start drawing amazing daily pages. The truth is I’m more of a minimalist (although I do...

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...

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...

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...
