I was just reading a comment from

about bullet journals which made me laugh because there is a part of me that imagines some parallel life where I am a bullet journaler. I love the concept. And some of my journals aren’t so different. But I mean that I would like to be the kind of person who is a bujo influencer on Instagram, who uses tenet different pens and has decorative layouts for every month and day and week. Who actually tracks their habits daily and doesn’t stop after three days. I will never be that person mostly because that would sap all my energy and nothing on the to do list would ever get done. But oh in my fantasies I’m a bujo girl.

Do you bullet journal?!?!

This topic also reminds me that I keep meaning to mention somewhere about Barbara Sher’s ideas for a Scanner Daybook.

- are you familiar? She uses Da Vinci’s journals as a core example. Have you covered his notebooks yet? (Forgive me if you have … I haven’t seen it and I love a lot about substack but not so much the search functionality 🤣) basically her idea is to take any idea you have and write it as far as you can with it because it will either spur you on to take the next step or you’ll realize that writing it down was enough. In a nutshell but there’s more it’s it than that and it can a useful concept for a lot of people I think whose interests far outnumber any possible amount they could actually do in this lifetime.
