Everyone who knows me knows how much I love to write in my journals. It’s a daily part of my day, a habit, and a hobby. There’s something so poetic and dramatic about writing about every aspect of your life on paper.
Like any hobby or skill, I think that journaling is something you get better at over time. Such as how you write, how you set up pages, and organize your journals.
Read MoreTypically, I keep an A5 ruled journal. I used to be selective about the journals I bought and what I wrote in them. Since I first started journaling, my collection of full – and empty – journals has grown over the last three years.

I am happy with how it turned out, but I’m already thinking up ways to improve the next journal kit I make.
Read MoreI’ve always been interested in using my bullet journal for more than just tracking my day-to-day activities, and recently I found something that inspired me.
I was scrolling through some notes on my phone when I came across this thing I wrote to myself. It was a list of ideas for journal pages to help me in my personal journey for inner growth.
Something that matters to me right now. So much that I decided to make inner growth my theme for 2020.
Read MoreOne of my favourite things about using a bullet journal is that it’s a creative outlet. With an empty journal, you get to decide what you write, how you write and how it looks. More than that, you get to be adaptable and experimental. To have fun with it.
In my journaling journey (great alliteration), I’ve tried so many things. I’ve used different styles of weekly summaries, habit trackers and mood trackers, to name some.
