Long time, no chat

Why, hello there. I seem to have fallen off the face of the planet. Again. Because I’m here now and I’m thinking about this, I thought I’d ask here and perhaps get some feedback. I’m considering tweaking the direction of my blog and having it be a kind of hybrid of reading (mostly book reviews and such) and writing (mostly journal related). And I guess my question is, would this be a blog you’d be interested in reading?

Take a peak inside one of my journals: three things I always include in my reading journal that are NOT book specific

Take a peak inside my reading journal part 2So we’ve already been over the book specific information I include in my reading journal.But did you know that there are other things you could include in your reading journal? I’ll include the same caveat as my previous post: this is what works for me, and that doesn’t necessarily mean that this will work for you. I hope, however, that this will…

Take a peak inside one of my journals: three things I always include in my reading journal that are book specific

Take a peak inside my reading journal part oneAh, books. Reading was one of my favorite pastimes as a kid. Though if I’m being honest, I don’t read as much as I once did. There are a bunch of reasons for this ranging from “I’ve been too busy adulating” to “I’m experiencing one of my hardcore, epic reading slumps.” It makes me sad that I don’t read as much as I used to. But none of that is really…

Three recent notebook purchases and what I plan on doing with them

3 recent notebook purchasesDear internet, have I told you about my notebook buying addiction? Ok, well, now you know about my notebook buying addiction. I have some go-to brands that I tend to use for my journal writing. I’m mostly happy with those brands, but a couple months ago, I decided test the waters and see what else was out there.

Here is what I decided to buy and what I think I’m going…

Today I finished a notebook and was eager to start a new one. Currently writing in a brown Rhodia with a TWSBI fountain pen with brown ink. This is so exciting.

Three more digital journal apps to try

3 more journal apps to tryI’ve already mentioned that Day One is my favorite digital journal app. However, let’s say Day One isn’t for you. What are some of the other digital journal apps out there? Here are three apps that I think are worth trying (and they all have free versions!).

DabbleMe The thing I think is neat about DabbleMe is that you can post entries by Email. So you’ll obviously need…

Review: Day One app

Review: Day One appI’ve written about how my preference is with paper journals. This remains true, but I concede that there a times when digital journal apps on smart phones and other electronic devices are much more practical. Digital journaling is never going to take the place of paper journaling for me. There are times, however, when I’m out and about and have a thought or feeling I want to…

Three things about bullet journals

Three things about bullet journalsAh, the bullet journal. Part planner, part diary, all parts whatever you want it to be. These days, the bullet journal, or BuJo for short, seems to be all the rage – at least in some segments of the population. If you’re not familiar with the concept, I’ll tell you that it’s a system created by Ryder Carroll and refer you to the official websitefor a more…

What I get from this quote: do what you love today.

#photo #quote #anne lamott #ifttt

[nerdywordyblog]

"Here is how it works: you take a blank notebook, any blank notebook. You can, if you wish, buy a special one, but the notebook isn’t the point – the Bullet Journal is a method, not an object. You number the pages as you go along, having set aside a few pages at the front that over time become your contents list. Then each month you handwrite a calendar called the “monthly log” followed by a “daily log” of tasks, events and notes, marked respectively by bullet points, circles and dashes. Each day you manually cross out tasks you have completed and then rewrite the undone ones for the next day. "

"You see, a bullet journal is whatever you want it to be because it’s customized just by you. Your bullet journal starts out as a blank notebook, and you’re the one to map out your layouts. You decide what your calendar looks like. You’re the one to claim a two-page spread for your ever-growing book list. You’re the one to figure out what kind of chart would motivate you most for exercising regularly. Or if you should skip it altogether because it would just stress you out. You’re the one designing an organizational system that fits your life right now."

"Even if you don't think there'll ever be a documentary that uses your journal for flavor commentary, there are plenty of reasons to keep one for yourself. Maybe you want to leave something behind for your children that tells your story and what you accomplished. Maybe you're more practical, and want a way to harness your creativity. Maybe you just want the cathartic release that comes with regular writing. Whatever it is, these are all great reasons. Let's look at each one, and why they matter so much."
