Bujo January

Bujo January

by Annastasia | Feb 6, 2017 | Bullet Journal, Diaries and Journals, Inkdrops, Lists, notebooks

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...
How will you develop amazing new habits for 2017?

How will you develop amazing new habits for 2017?

by Annastasia | Dec 5, 2016 | Bullet Journal, Inkdrops, Lists, Living, One Thing at a Time, routine

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. I must confess that it has...
How do you set monthly intentions in a bullet journal?

How do you set monthly intentions in a bullet journal?

by Annastasia | Oct 31, 2016 | Bullet Journal, Creative, Diaries and Journals, Inkdrops, Lists, Living, organisation

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

Bullet journalling in a new notebook

by Annastasia | Sep 19, 2016 | Bullet Journal, Diaries and Journals, Inkdrops, Lists, Living, notebooks, organisation, routine

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

In which I try a second week of bullet journalling

by Annastasia | Sep 12, 2016 | Bullet Journal, Diaries and Journals, Handwriting, Inkdrops, Lists, Living, notebooks, organisation, routine

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

In which I finally try bullet journaling

by Annastasia | Sep 5, 2016 | Bullet Journal, Diaries and Journals, Handwriting, Inkdrops, Lists, Living, notebooks, organisation, routine

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...
How many job lists do you actually need?

How many job lists do you actually need?

by Annastasia | Aug 15, 2016 | Inkdrops, Lists, notebooks, One Thing at a Time, organisation, routine, simplification

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...
One thing at time #3 – The 10-minute method

One thing at time #3 – The 10-minute method

by Annastasia | Jul 25, 2016 | Inkdrops, Lists, Living, One Thing at a Time, organisation, routine, simplification

You don’t come to this blog to read about cleaning the oven but it was oven cleaning that proved so fruitful during my exploration of ‘do it in 10 minutes’. I hate cleaning the oven and hob. I put off doing it until I can’t stand the state of the things any longer....
Do it earlier in the day in February: Annastasia’s thoughts

Do it earlier in the day in February: Annastasia’s thoughts

by Annastasia | Mar 25, 2016 | Inkdrops, One Thing at a Time, organisation, routine

Compared to ‘picking a priority’ this was so much easier to work into my life. Clearly, I understand what ‘do it earlier in the day’ means a lot more than I understand priorities! My morning routine is flexible and the time spent on a...
One thing at a time #2 – do it earlier in the day

One thing at a time #2 – do it earlier in the day

by Annastasia | Mar 5, 2016 | Inkdrops, Lists, Living, One Thing at a Time, organisation, routine

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

Picking a priority in January – Annastasia’s thoughts

by Annastasia | Feb 26, 2016 | Inkdrops, Lists, Living, One Thing at a Time, routine, simplification

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...
One thing at a time #1- Pick a priority

One thing at a time #1- Pick a priority

by Annastasia | Jan 8, 2016 | Inkdrops, Lists, Living, One Thing at a Time, organisation

The first technique we’re going to try out and discover how to make it work is Picking a Priority. Among the arsenal of time management techniques, prioritising is towards the top. It’s possibly right after making a list of things that need doing....
