I’ve got mixed feelings about new year's resolutions. Part of me loves that enticing promise of a fresh start that the new year offers, but it’s a double-edged sword, walking a fine line between it presenting itself as an opportunity or a pressure. Because on top of all the Christmas organising mayhem, who needs any extra pressure at this time of year?
One way I try to keep myself organised and on track is with a bullet journal. I’ve been bullet journaling for a few years now and it's a key part of my Sunday reset. For anyone who hasn’t heard of a bullet journal before, it’s really just a trendy name for a hardworking notebook. You take a plain notebook or journal (I favour Papier's dotted notebooks) and fashion it into your perfect, custom organiser. Mine ticks a number of boxes: monthly planner, weekly diary , to do list. I also use it to capture other things like a list of the books I read (because I can never remember otherwise!), savings and habit trackers and a cleaning calendar.
