I used to write these lists of random thoughts on my blog to get my creativity flowing by emptying my mind, and I thought they were a perfect fit for wordwrap, as they are too random for my blog now. I realised something as I wandered to the bathroom this morning: I’m becoming better accustomed to cold weather. Over...

Above you see two sketches of a shipping box. I doodled it because I’d just received a new sketchbook in the mail, it was one of the options for a sketchbook/journal to bring to Ireland, and I had to test the paper. So I doodled a box. The first of those doodles is on the right side, and boy, it is WONKY. I took a...

I started in week 40 with writing a list of five good things for each week, inspired by the #3goodthings I post almost every day (I want every day, but sometimes I forget hehehe) Then I jumped in to write this post just now, and wrote joyful instead of good, and thought to myself: that’s pretty on-brand for me, as I...

We’re off on our first airplane trip in ten-ish years, so of course this is a perfect moment to make lists. I call myself a chronic listmaker, because I have to be honest with myself. I have lists in Keep for my husband and me (he’s an Android guy and hates every other app I showed him), in Obsidian for my blog and...

I felt like writing a fun post and then I was storing away my pens and I had the idea, also perfect because I have this on both my blog post list and on my slashpages list :) This is the contents of my pencil case, satisfyingly knolled. I have these things with me at all times for two purposes: paper planning and...

I’ve bought one of those digital picture frame, and I added the picture folders that I’ve sorted through to it. When my husband and I were watching the slideshow, this picture came up, and I sighed, “I thought I’d already sorted these, but boy, it needs another pass!” We both laughed, and continued to watch the...

I’ve made something today to help me use my phone less. It’s a little background for my lock screen. Here is how it looks. And boy, it’s effective! I tend to pick up my phone so often, to do simple searches or to read Mastodon, it’s ridiculous! I even do it when I have my laptop in my lap! I want to remind myself...

Last week I started a new way of doing weeknotes and I love it. I also still updated my now page, which is a bonus good thing for this past week 😀 Here are my 5 good things for week 41. 🎬 my husband and I watched John Wick 1 and 2, and what I loved the most is us alternating exclamations of “what???” “How???” and...

This is the seventh post in my 'hitting the digital brakes'-series on changing how I use technology and where I stopped using it altogether. These are the previous posts: the joys of imperfection Do we really need the latest tech My e-reader made me a worse reader Not everything needs to be in the cloud Anti AI? Be...

I felt I lost my vibe with blogging by the end of September. I felt disheartened. I could see that sadness and restlessness weighed me down, but that didn’t help much. I reflected on what happened in the past with these feelings. Every time, no fail, I quit my blog and started all over again, because the weight was...

I’m using neatstats for my blog as a beta tester (it’s a service from omg.lol and I love it!). Today I was not feeling well and I needed to write something fun but had no idea. I saw the link to the stats in my bookmarks bar, and was curious to see what posts were clicked on the most. I needed a little confidence...

On Mastodon I try to write a list of 3 good things every day. It’s such a great habit to have and I decided that, instead of attempting to update my now page, I’d make this post, wildly inspired by this post by cygnoir! I’ve finished a headband in nålebinding and I love it so much! Just look at the beautiful pattern...
