I used DayTimer for a decade or more, but I'm not going back. Looks like you're happy with the bullet process, too.john.phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15561752999008175780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4166133926661022482.post-51990347206744493222017-01-12T07:15:48.969+10:002017-01-12T07:15:48.969+10:00No worries.

I will pop over and check out your post shortly. I have also seen friends list over 100 books for their GoodReads goal. YIKES! I can't see me ever reading that many in a year.

I still have some journals spanning back to 1997 and, like you did, I plan to destroy them too as they were personal and only meant for me to get things out of my system. They aren't meant for others to read.

And I am ordering a set of those stamps.<br /><br />I started painting every day a few years ago, and told myself that anything over 300 was a huge win. 300 days of anything in a year is major, and knowing that you haven't failed if you miss a day somehow makes it okay if life intervenes and you have to miss one.

I just started a new bullet journal with a page set aside for my gratitude list, and was going to show it, and I bought a similar stamp set to use as well.... I finally came up with my word of the year as well.

I used to be great at it, and wrote in it at least once a day (more often several times a day). Although, my journal was part diary, part commonplace notebook. I carried it everywhere and wrote down anything.
