The Butt-Ugly Bullet Journal Rides Again

  I’m in the process of setting up my bullet journal for the first three months of 2022. My regular readers already know that this is not the place I do art. You do you, but for me, this is an exercise in setting up an organizational plan that works for me, and for my

The Magic of a Fresh Start

This month I’m making two big changes to my bullet journal. The first one is that I’m moving into a composite-style (Traveler’s notebook, Midori/Fauxdori) notebook. (I made it myself. Accomplishment.) The Bujo is in one of the inserts, which won’t be with me for six months or a year. I’m starting to appreciate the magic

Rethinking the Bullet Journal

I’ve been thinking about getting a traveler’s notebook for my next bullet journal. Now, to be fair… Every drop of organizational skill I’ve got, I either bought or stole from someone else. And… well, it wouldn’t be grand larceny, either. Right now, what I have is a couple of Leuctturm1917 notebooks. One of them has

Next Steps

I set up a bullet journal spread to count down the last few queries (about three batches worth) before I hit my next rejection collection milestone. Nothing special. Just a bunch of squares to fill in each time I send something out. I also get a shiny new pip for one of my online writers’

Back to the Writer’s Bullet Journal

As you know, I keep a writer’s bullet journal to keep track of my projects and my goals. This year, I’m focusing more on months than on years. Smaller goals, and more fresh starts. There’s something incredibly productive about self-forgiveness. Last year’s writers’ bullet journal focused a lot on the year. In fact, if you

Bullet Journal In Review: What Didn’t Work

It is July, and I’m getting a head start on my bullet customizable, made-for-me journal for 2020. I’m not one of those hyper-organized, crafty whirlwinds you see on Youtube. In fact, most of my life, my planner planning has been limited to “Oh, shit! New Year’s is tomorrow?” and rushing out to get whatever calendar
