Finished Reading: The Reading Life

Image
  Finished reading “The Reading Life: The Joy of Seeing New Worlds Through Others’ Eyes”, excerpts from selected writings of C.S. Lewis wherein he addressed the subject of reading. A careful reader will find wise instructions meant for the writer scattered like gemstones throughout his reflections and critiques. My favorite chapters are “The Case For Reading Old Books”, “Why Fairy Tales Are Often Less Deceptive Than ‘Realistic’ Ones,” and “The Achievements of J.R.R. Tolkien.” Though I borrowed my copy from our local library, this is worth purchasing and re-reading (a subject upon which Lewis has much to say). Makes a perfect gift for an avid reader! 

Bullet Journaling

Ready to try something different this New Year? It's a new day, new month, new week--so why not? A number of years ago I began using this journaling system called "Bullet Journaling." It's an amazingly efficient system that costs nothing but the few pennies or dollars you choose to put into purchasing a blank notebook.

One need not be a writer to use this--it can be used any way you would like, starting with a simple calendar. Use it as you "day-timer," in meetings, shopping lists, recipes, fitness journal--make it whatever you want it to be.


"The Bullet Journal is a customizable and forgiving organization system. It can be your to-do list, sketchbook, notebook, and diary, but most likely, it will be all of the above. 
It will teach you to do more with less."


I like the graph-paper notebooks as described in the video below, but any notebook or composition book will do. The video provides a brief overview of the system, but you can get a full overview here.

When you are ready, get started with Bullet Journaling 101. Have Fun!
