Becoming Better

Explore how one of your hobbies made you a better writer.

I believe that my bullet journal has helped me become a better writer. It has shown me that not all writing has to be stories and essays. Not all writing has to be fluid and articulate. Sometimes my words are bulleted lists. Sometimes my lists turn into other lists. Sometimes my words are art. My bullet journal has also made me a little bit of an artist (note that I said a little bit!) Here, let me share a little bit of my bullet journal with you!

This is an "Ideas for self care" page I did. I started out wanting to put them all over the page. That didn't happen. They ended up on the lines. So, if you are wondering why "Sit in the sunshine" is crooked in the corner, that's why! 

This is what a typical monthly calendar looks like for me. An overview of the month. 

This is the first month of my gratitude log. I tried the boxes for this month and it worked but I didn't love setting it up! It looked very pretty though! 

This is a Halloween/Autumn bucket list I made but there aren't any check boxes, so I don't know how I am going to mark it off when we are done with things. 

This is my October gratitude log. One line a day. I think I like this one better. Black and orange alternating. 

Then my October monthly. The pink circled ones are the days I have the girls at my house. Got to love shared custody! 

This is what my weekly log looks like. A more detailed look at my week. This would usually get a little more full but this was the week that Stephen was released from the hospital so we didn't do a whole lot out of the house. 

Finally this is my daily log. Please, no judgement! Lots of stuff gets put on the list so I can check it off. Makes a girl feel good to check the stuff off the list. And yes, shower is on there, and yes I got it done even though it isn't checked off. 

And there you have it. A quick glance at my bullet journal. I usually do a quick journal entry about my day underneath the list. Maybe a quote I found that I really love or a bible verse. Nothing too fancy. This one has lasted me since May 5. I figure I will have to break the new one out in November.
