How will you develop amazing new habits for 2017?
Are you thinking about Christmas, or making rash promises to yourself about how you will form wonderful life changing habits in 2017? I hoped that the habit log in my bullet journal would be a year round winner when it came to new habits but I must confess that it has...
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 vexs me. Mostly I want to have crossed lots of things off...
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...

One thing at a time #2 – do it earlier in the day
One of the things that both Carla and I observed while trying out ‘pick a priority’ in January was that when you do something seems to matter a bit. For me, it was the whole procrastination issue and choosing to do the jobs I liked first while making...
Picking a priority in January – Annastasia’s thoughts
It’s taken me longer than expected to chew over the seemingly simple time management technique of working with priorities. Carla and I began trying this out at the start of January. While she found a way to make it work for her by the start of February I was...
