In which I try a second week of bullet journalling
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
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
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....
I’d like to write letters but…
It’s a joy to write a letter. Choosing what paper to write on. Selecting a pen. Settling down in a favourite chair, or at a desk or even in the garden. Then there’s the satisfaction in constructing the sentences. Scribbling furiously to get you’re your thoughts done...
Seven days to catch up
How do you handle your to-do list? I find that I add more tasks than I can do. Then I carry these over to the next day or week. At this point, it becomes clear that once again I’ve given myself too many tasks to do. Consequently, I’m always a bit behind...
How I’m getting organised in 2015
Every year I try to find a way of making my life more organised. I’m a scanner personality. So using exactly the same system year after year would probably bore me. Additionally, life doesn’t stay the same every year. Hence it’s good to be flexible...
When does a year start? Or, when is the right time to buy a diary?
When does the year start? For those who are able to live absolutely in the moment (so mainly those under the age of five?) it would be January first. For the rest of us, it seems to arrive quite a bit earlier. This question leads to another… at what point do you...
DIY daily planner
The last quarter of the year is often when my thoughts turn to the following year’s diary, plans, goals and so on (unlike some of you lovely lot, who I gather start in August! I feel like I’m slacking…). In previous years I’ve been able to cope...
Four papery planning products I can’t live without
I often spend time on Fridays and Sundays sorting out what’s happening in the week or two ahead. It’s the only way to stay on top of all the things I do – business, job and life things. Unarguably I’m a very digital girl. Yet this afternoon I...
My first Moleskine
We all know that there’s nothing like getting a parcel through the post. Better yet when it’s an unexpected parcel. So I was extremely chuffed when the postie rang the doorbell last week and delivered Carla’s New Year gift parcel. There was a...
The thrill of a new diary
I’ve been through every kind of diary available, in my time. From homework planners at school to academic diaries at university. Loose Filofax pages and little handbag-sized hardback diaries, I’ve had them all. Of course, I love every single one – and choosing...Get featured on our blog!
