Hi everyone!
Yesterday, I posted about Bujoing or Bullet Journaling. I decided that, for now, it is NOT for me. It did, however, give me ideas for general journaling.

That is one thing I am trying to work on, getting better at journaling and using the journals I have accumulated. I decided my original strategy of separate journals for separate topics works better for me to a large extent anyway.

Word of advice: To those of you who have tasks/activities to do but no set schedule with a lot of appointments, projects, or kids activities; then a bujo may not work for you.

I thought it would help me to be more motivated to get projects, reading, my To Do list, done. Not so much. The more research I did, the more stressed I became, thus, defeating the purpose right from the jump. I have no job, I'm not enrolled in school and I don't have a family to manage so, a bujo isn't for me. One thing all of that research did help me with was giving me ideas on how to combine topics, which I will do in future yearly journals.

I hope this helps! Have fun with your journals! Be creative!

Happy crafting! 💜

Happy New Year!

In 2020, I plan to get more organized and get things accomplished in a timely manner. That being said, I have been looking into bullet journaling or bujoing (if you prefer the lingo). I am somewhat OC when it comes to making lists and I thought a bujo may work for me.

However, every YouTube video I have watched or article I have read on the subject, seems more geared towards people in school or with a job and generally have a lot going on. I don't fit into this at all! Due to my disability, I can't work and haven't decided whether or not to go back for a new degree. I do have a BA in Communications with a focus in Public Relations.

I, mostly, just want an easier way to plan my day to day activities (and the occasional family gathering or appointment). my activities include: keeping up with the family tv show schedule, writing, reading, doing a variety of crafts (although mostly drawing and coloring), various puzzles (Sudoku and crosswords), and possibly notes for my computer games. Preferably, a method that I can stick to and will get me motivated!

If any of you have suggestions, please feel free to leave them in comments.

Peace and love!
