Does anyone else keep a Bullet Journal? I've been doing this practice fairly consistently for nearly two years now. I've found it especially useful this year. Each day, I jot down a few bullets about things that happened that day. Ideas that struck me, bits of moments that I wish to remember, or the most mundane things like what I made for dinner. Sometimes, I'll go a week or more at a time without doing it, but I almost always make it a point to go back and jot down some points.
In 2020, I find myself having a really hard time recalling things that take place even just a few days ago. When I find a slight sense of anxiety when I don't write down what happened each day, as if that day somehow didn't happen. I don't usually go back to read my Bullet Journal, other than when I digitize it, I may glance at a few bullets for nostalgia's sake. Yet, I like the certainty of having written down things that are happening in life, as some sort of proof, or insurance for my memory.
Curious if anyone feels similarly about journaling or the mere act of documenting the ordinary happenings of daily life. Also if anyone feels that 2020 is hard to keep track of, and each day flees and memory seems to fade in an instant?? What a strange year, just a week left!
Would you be willing to take a photo of your Bullet Journal and post it so we can see what it looks like?
ReplyDeleteThank you, Wendy! This is now a New Year's Resolution for me. Not sure it will happen, but I'm planting a small notebook and pen on my nightstand in the hope I can at least get a few things down while they're fresh in my mind!
