How do you set monthly intentions in a bullet journal?
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
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
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...
Why walking is best for letter writers
It seems that days all too often require one to get in a car or on the bus to go and spend time doing something useful and productive. Now it’s lovely to spend a day being usefully busy. To lose yourself in the flow of activity and enjoy a glow of satisfaction...
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...
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...
Stationery, letters and literature – A tale for the time being by Ruth Ozeki
It takes me a long time to get around to reading books nominated for prizes. So reading A tale for the time being by Ruth Ozeki has proved to be wonderful on several accounts. Firstly, it does suggest that I’m actually making more time for selecting library...
Five-year diaries – my new favourite thing!
‘New’ is relative! I have compulsively journaled if that’s a word since I was small. Writing is something I can’t help doing and once I start an account of my day, it rolls into pages and pages. One of the only things I have ever truly regretted not buying was a...Get featured on our blog!
