Bulletnichi

Bulletnichi
My Hobonichi Techo, opened to the pages for June 9-10 and filled out with bullet-journal entries. My Hobonichi three-color pen is lying across it. Above it, my cup of coffee sitting on a cork coaster; to the right, my little handheld task notebook; above that, a roll of Scotch tape that I forgot to remove from the frame.

I think I'm going to start using the bullet journal format in my Hobonichi. I've already been tracking daily tasks in a little 2x4 spiral notebook I keep at my desk, but the Hobonichi design makes it easy to adapt to bullet journaling and I'd like a bit more overwatch than just flipping back through pages to see what I need to do.

(Admittedly, the one-page-per-day Hobonichi Techo also removes one of the benefits of bullet journaling, which is having multiple days on a page so you can see at a glance what needs to be copied over, but I'm trying to work around that.)

I have no intention of doing this for the ✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ:aesthetic:･ﾟ✧:･ﾟ✧, I'm just looking for a better way to codify my tasks and manage my life.

In the meantime, it's a beautiful day outside and the dialyzer is still charging, so I think I might go on a walk.

Today I am expressing gratitude for

  • coffee
  • and especially my Keurig coffeemaker, which allows me to easily make either a single cup of coffee at a time or a whole pot depending on what the day calls for
  • myself, for going to bed at a reasonable time last night
  • all the space I have to live in
  • post-it notes

I'm trying to find at least one "mundane" thing to express gratitude for each day. Part of the practice is finding something about the item to be grateful for, and that in turn encourages me to see the things around me in a more positive light.
