  • This is very satisfying!

    I have the very inelegant tactic of pinning stuff but pinned items have lost all meaning now I have about 15 things pinned to the top of my emails!

    The day thing is helpful because it is so hard to filter by importance when it’s just one big block of emails.

    Nice idea!





  • I love a whiteboard. And also wall info. I’m a teacher and I stick my timetable on the wall in multiple spaces so I can see from where I sit, my classes and number of kids per class also on the wall in more than one place and other things. Storing things on wall in a place you look often is great for reducing time it takes to fish out important info.


  • Yes first one is good. Second one…I am extremely list blind. Looking at list needs to be made into a routine / hobby and I often have to try and use novelty to get it to work hence constantly changing how I do lists which is a bit contradictory with the routine element.

    Fridge lists never worked for me. Phone does to an extent until it’s not a novelty anymore and it’s just …there. reminders last like a day before I automatically cancel them without reading.

    I’ve been chasing my meds for over 2 weeks and have had a similar tale of woes. Completely out of stock here but also didn’t find out until I had already faffed around for a few days too. I walked into my Dr’s finally and said to receptionist please help as this is pointless. She assured me pharmacy team would get hold of me. They haven’t. I’ve just given up at this point.

    Sometimes feels like these days are the norm to be honest and the days where I can do stuff is the exception to the rule. I’ve managed to up my work productivity massively with meds and habits but man life is still such a challenge. I find I feel suddenly hopeless whenever I have ‘‘free’’ time.


  • Yeh I know. I think the core functionality of a bullet journal (minimalist, mostly just doing dailies with an index) is the most useful thing to get right and if developed as a habit can work even when you’re overwhelmed and have less time. I just find even getting myself to open a notebook is a challenge when I’m all frantic and all over the place.

    I consistently use a notebook for work (sort of) but find that I have a tendency to lose it everywhere if I carry it around too much also. I started using Google keep so I could have access to my thoughts everywhere and didnt have to keep walking around with a notebook I was likely to put down and forget.



  • Yeah I just have Google keep and calendar pinned to every browser on ever computer / laptop I use (personal laptop, work laptop, computer in my classroom (teacher), office computer).

    I’m also ATM having fun with obsidian. I want to open it whenever I go on laptop because it’s currently a novelty and I want to look at it. I’ve got periodic notes plug in, some kind of to do list plug in and another to do list plug in to make them roll over to the next day. I open up a daily note, check my to do and then check Google keep (where I dump thoughts) to see whether I need to add anything else to my to do.

    I still need to set up s way to sync to phone as at the moment I can only use on laptop. I’ve read his to do it I just…can’t be bothered.


  • I had a lot of success with bullet journalling for a long while but as usually happens I fell off the habit. I’ve come to accept that I have to constantly think of novel ways to organise and change them around as that’s the way my brain works. I do love bullet journalling though, it’s really effective when used consistently and in a way to fit your use case.
