The First Paper I Ever Loved on paper Aug 26, 2026

On paper

In the planner post I mentioned the Poesiealbum and said it deserved its own post. So here it is. Except I have to start by admitting I don't have mine anymore.

Your Planner Is Not Content Aug 23, 2026

On paper

It is planner season.

Which, if you are not a planner person, probably sounds completely ridiculous. There is a season for buying notebooks?

Yes. There is. And some of us are very busy right now.

Hobonichi started revealing its 2027 lineup on August 1, with something new basically eve

When you start seeing clients, there's a moment where you think you need a system.

Most Vision Boards Are Lying. unsolicited opinions Dec 18, 2022

Unsolicited opinions

I'll say it up front: I believe in vision boards slightly more than a sensible adult should. I also pull tarot cards and check the moon, so this tracks.

But most vision boards I see are lying.


You know the board I mean. White beach. Marble kitchen. A woman in linen laughi
