Recently, in either her newsletter or daily Substack, Laura was talking about the passage of time and ways we can attempt to slow it down a bit. She said that one thing we can do is to reflect on what made today different. Part of what makes time blur together is when we have too… Continue reading A fun journal prompt
Since I was a guest on Best Laid Plans recently, I have had several requests to share visuals of my digital time logs/ journal pages that I referenced in the episode. Before I do this, I have to make sure to pause to give huge credit to Laura Vanderkam. I downloaded the original time tracker… Continue reading My digital time logs/ journal pages- with visuals!

Since I keep my little daily journal tracking… Continue reading An audit of the week

Now that I've covered all of my "basics" (my planner, digital calendar and to do list system), today I'm going to cover an important but probably less crucial piece of my productivity regimen. I call this "my notebook" usually. 🙂 It's a cream of the crop, top of the line Five Star grid paper notebook… Continue reading Productivity Series #4: Accessory Notebook+ Habit Tracker/Highlight Journal system
