A note by

reminded me about the time I used to use a bullet journal, in 2017/2018. It was my most consistent paper habit, and this was mainly down to my obsessive Instagram use and the need to post something daily. But through that I also created an artefact which is kind of amazing — a beautiful object which documents exactly how I spent each week of my life during that period.

It makes me think about how social media often motivates us to create. I’m kinda thankful for it sometimes. For sure, other times I’m tearing my hair out over numbers, but for the most part I think it’s been a force for creative consistency in my life.
