So far my little homemade tickler file has been holding up with just one repair along the tape seam needed.

The biggest alteration I’ve made is adding a couple of sticky notes to each daily page for the month when I do my monthly setup. This allows me to quickly add a note to a relevant day without digging through the back to find an index card.

The sticky notes can be repositioned and ones that turn into little to do trackers can move forward day by day as I need.

This tweak really lets the lay flat design shine since I leave it open in my desk as I work and can use the sticky notes when I need to.

I still keep projects and references on sturdy index cards kept in the daily pouches.

I’ve been using it for over six months now and I’m still really happy with how everything flows. And since it is small I almost always have it on hand, either on my desk or in my purse.

Yesterday we started the journey home by waking up to a flat tire on the rental car 😂. Thankfully we had a late flight so we had time to get everything situated. Today we have one more flight and then I can give my cats the biggest hug.

My mother was born here and one of her wishes was to do tai chi with me while we visited. Maia, Santa Maria, Açores. My grandfather owned a small house on the cliffs right above this pool. He sold it to bring his wife and kids to the USA.
