This page serves as an ongoing record of what I’ve got going on, both professionally and in my personal life.

- I have started Bullet Journaling. I read the book by Ryder Carroll over the past couple of months and it really stuck to me. I have seen it before, but never really paid attention to the premise. I have tried using Field Notes a few times over the years because I always thought that having a collection of Field Notes up on a shelf looked really cool. I also thought that it’s a great way to journal. I would excitedly start, but would trail off after a day or two because I wasn’t sure what to write and that my writings were just boring sentences about how I went to work and did the dishes. With the bullet journal.. journal, it gave me a bigger page to put my thoughts down on and with the * task, o event, and - note structure that resonated with me. I have also added a few symbols like + to designate a longer note. I should probably turn this into a blog post…
- I have also continued my all in on Craft for work projects and tasks. Todoist has become a place for recurring tasks and an inbox that gets moved to my Field Note when planning my day. Great system that surprisingly uses paper. I, like Miley Cyrus, hate paper.
- It’s getting cold here in northeast Tennessee and I am already ready for summer. Christmas season is fully ramped up and glitter is everywhere. My least favorite time of year. I guess it just makes me enjoy summer that much more whenever the 90 degree sunshine is still going at nine o’clock at night.
This a way for me to keep track of projects, milestones, and random updates without the fleeting nature of social media. Instead of scrolling through posts or digging through old timelines, everything is kept on the Then page, easy to reference at any time. Think of this as a personal feed, but instead of constant updates and algorithms deciding what gets seen, it’s just a simple, static pages on my blog updated when I feel like it, on my own terms.
I got the idea for this Now page from Stephen and David at Relay that referenced nownownow.com, a site created by Derek Sivers to encourage people to share what they’re currently focused on.
