All proceeding according to plan

Hmmm, it's a bit scary typing up such a subject line, as if I'm defying life to throw me a curveball. :P

Anyhow, let me get in the good stuff before any such catastrophe careens my way.

I decided with our arrival back in Lebanon--still armed with those good intentions stirred by my illustration workshop--that I would revive my Bujo* and the use of a habit tracker.  I started on Monday rather on Oct. 1 since we had arrived home at 5 a.m. that day.  So, actually I have only been tracking things for two days.  Easy to get a gold star for that. :P

For Artober, I created a box to tick within my "Daily Doings" section.  In addition to that, in order to have deeper/more sustained creative practice each day, I've set up another section called "Project Tracker."  I put in several of the projects that are most on my mind these days, both writing only and writing+art.  The goal is NOT to tick off every project, every day.  Rather it will allow me to look back and see what projects got work that month, how often (I don't have a set amount to get done; a checkmark just means I looked and did *something* on the project), and which projects didn't get as much (any?) love.

Back to it...

* I really like having my monthly spread, BuJo style, to help me see, at a glance, what we got up to each month, but I am often pretty crap at keeping up with it.  I do a basic layout and mostly only use it as a planner, but as with blogging, I always enjoy looking back over it and seeing the meatier or more personal entries.  Such a good repository for my aging brain. :P Each time I pick it up again, I vow to do better.  I never do. ;) First time for everything, though.

I've probably mentioned it before, but Little Springtime has a bullet journal. She too finds it really useful for noticing patterns, etc.

Yeah, it can be a really handy tool. I appreciate being able to flip back and find stuff, too. However, I realize i don't use it to its full potential either. Definitely handy for noticing patterns and parsing info a bit differently, depending on how you use it, than you might normally.
