The Daily Greatness Journal Review
I had heard about the Daily Greatness Journal: A Practical Guide for Consciously Creating Your Days for a while, but couldn’t justify the cost of $49.95. Last November I decided to look at it as an investment in self-development and I made the purchase. There is a lot of reading at the beginning of the…
Read MoreMy First Hobonichi Original
I love planners and every year I have more than I can possibly use, although I do try to use them all. I’ve decided to start reviewing them and sharing what I like, what works for me as well as what I’m not so fond of – plannerwise. This versatile day planner can be used…
Read MoreInCoWriMo Recap for 2018

Read MorePlanner Con 2018 in San Francisco
I attended the 2nd Annual Planner Con event at the Hyatt Regency in San Francisco in early March.

Read MoreMore from InCoWriMo
The letter writing goodness keeps spreading as I received this gem in this week’s mail as part of International Correspondence Writers’ Month (InCoWriMo).

Read MorePostage Increase on January 21, 2018
The cost to mail a 1 oz letter increases from .49 to .50 on Sunday, January 21, 2018. The postcard rate will increase from .34 to .35. There’s something soothing/correct to have the stamps at rounded numbers and not at odd/unusual numbers like it seems they have been for a long time. I have always…
