Bullet Journal Goals and Sprints
by
I feel like I need to review this section of The Bullet Journal Method again, luckily it’s on my shelf. The biggest issue I’ve had with a notebook first (sometimes only) method is tracking bigger projects. I feel like I want to step back and really see everything that’s going on in a week. Not…
Digitally Minimal Android Phone
by
