I decided to give bullet journaling a hot try. I’ve drawn up
the last 3 weeks of 2016 (way to commit, Alison) and step backed and looked at
what I value in myself.
Now, I’m someone who is all about the all or nothing, I knew
going into bullet journaling I had to keep it simple, minimal as fuck.
Otherwise I’d tap out after three days. (btw, I am three days in as I write
this).
But to keep it simple, I had to only keep in what I wanted
to focus on, not what looks good on Pinterest and Instagram. I’m not about to
start a five-year plan when I don’t even know what I’m doing next year.
I’ve
always been a big picture person and you know what? It hasn’t worked well for
me.
Bullet journaling puts in perspective what I want to achieve in small
steps. And these little steps will help me feel in control, like I’ve been ever
so slightly productive without drowning. And they don’t have to be massive
goals like, applying for the Mars settlement, mine are drinking more green tea
and finishing two books before the end of the year.
My very new bullet journal journey (ew) isn’t pretty. But I
still feel pretty satisfied when I look at my little mess. I have a place to
contain my life. And it's ALLOWED to be messy; cause (cliché life advice) life is
fucking messy.
