“Ugly” Bullet Journalling
by
Rebecca Renner writing for Book Riot: Ugly bullet journals are a wonderful thing. They exist. It’s just that a lot of them are hiding, ashamed to show their pages amongst their more Insagrammable peers. But that’s ridiculous, because it seems to me that, contrary to the perfectly measured and color-coded reputation bullet journals have garnered,…
Cory Miller on Friendship
by
Cory writes: If you want my “friendship” in order to compare and compete on stuff like money, status, or material things … uncheck the friend box please. The more successful you are the more often people call it friendship when it is anything but that. Don’t do this please.
Ryder Caroll one Notebook Migration
by
Yup this is for last year, but the process is the same according to Ryder. My favourite quote is: “Maybe it’s not you that is bad at sticking to your goals, it’s your goals that are bad at sticking to you”. This idea is echoed in Atomic Habits (review coming) when James Clear says that…
Cheri Baker and 8 Months without Facebook
by
Cheri says: Do you know what the best part of being off Facebook is? I thought it would be having more privacy, or feeling less addicted to checking social media, but what I love most is something else entirely.

Cal Newport on Facebook and Network Effects
by
Newport says that unlike adding a phone to your life in 1908 would give you something you couldn’t get anywhere else, real time communication with people over distance, social networks provide: In 2018, joining a network like Facebook enables you to connect with or monitor the status of people you know using digital networks. Unlike…
Jeff Perry and GTD Capture
by
Jeff writing for Rocket Panda on Capture: When it comes to GTD, the first thing you are introduced to is the idea of “Capture.” For the most part it’s straightforward. You can’t store your ideas without getting them out of your head, so you need to have a system in place to make it seamless…
Newt Scamander and masculinity
by
Very much enjoyed watching this video on Newt and how he shows masculinity in a non-traditional way. I watched the movie and enjoyed it, but I didn’t think of his masculinity on the terms provided. We do need male role models that break out of the typical role model we get stuck with.
