Planners. Bullet journals. To-do lists. I love the pretty ones I see on Pinterest and blogs. The pretty inks and stickers and printing.
All planner-related goods are 30% off at Michael's right now. A good sale always makes me think I should reconsider upgrading. I did have a look, and they all seemed...overwhelming...pretty, but overwhelming. I could see myself wanting lots of supplies, and a place to keep them, and spending hours on organizing the pages and accoutrements. Frankly the last thing I need right now is another hobby...and I could see myself making a full-blown hobby out of these.
I've talked before about my need for simplicity in my calendars; the same goes for my lists. So I decided again to stick with what I know. A spiral notebook that fits in my purse and keeps a pen handy in its wired spine.
Of course, it's a pretty-colored pen. :)
And you are so right! That's all you need!
ReplyDeleteIt's gotten me this far! :)
DeleteI've seen people who have many journals on the go at once. I must have a boring life as I don't write in mine every day and when I do, its usually what we ate for dinner! ;)
ReplyDeleteHey, I consider the blog my journal. :)
DeleteKath, I have a big drawer full of those, with scribbles and nonsense and also a big drawer filled with blank ones that I pick up at thrift stores. I cannot resist those little things.
ReplyDeleteI keep my filled ones too. Sometimes they have menu plans, book titles that I want to read, etc that I may want to refer back to someday. :)
