Auto-generated description: An open notebook on a tiled surface is adorned with several cut-out photos and writing on the pages, with a pen positioned nearby.

My newest trick to help with the bulky photos in my five year journal; peel off the backing of the photo paper and use double sided tape.

So for my hobonichi journal this year I picked up some dip pens and inks that matched the color of months. Turns out this was a bad idea. I’m far more less likely to sit down and add to my journal if I need to fiddle around with pens and ink. So back to my old pens I go.

I’m having some fun with the new Micro.blog premium feature, private notes. I’m trying to figure out what parts of my workflow I can move over ๐Ÿ˜„

I’m reviewing my solo development methodology and figuring out if anything needs any tweaks. Last year I tried adapting Shape Up and I think I need to shorten the cycles. Six weeks is just a bit too long for me to maintain forward momentum.

New journal day! My Hobonichi cousin got too big to be carrying around everywhere so this little journal is the small one to take places and be functional. The Cousin will remain my place for memories and musings

a Hobonichi weeks journal on a wooden table. The cover is navy with a picture of a white cat and the saying “Hope you have a wonderful day” in silver at the bottom. There is a pen laying across the top of the journal.

Trying out Zoho Notebook since Obsidian, Logseq, and Notion still don’t feel like the right fit.

Turns out you can use Hey’s workflow feature as a lightweight Kanban board for a hobby project.

I’ve been using this layout for the last six weeks and it’s a keeper. I’m not splitting aspects of my life across different apps, excel sheets, or notebooks and that’s helping me stay on top of it all. Plus, stickers! Most apps don’t have them and I love them.

At work I’m tackling a huge software project and my normal approach isn’t cutting it. So over the holiday’s I read Shape Up: Stop Running in Circles and Ship Work that Matters. It really resonated with me in a way other books on the subject haven’t. I’m still stuck using Asana, since that’s what my compay uses, but I was able to recreate a portion of the shaping workflow in it. I’ve been using it almost a month now and I’m really digging it.
