    Friday Reads | 19th May 2017

    Another week, another Friday rolls around.

In wanting to break away from that I decided to pick…

    Bullet Journals | Some Thoughts on Trackers & Logs

    Some of you may or may not remember (I wouldn’t blame you if you didn’t) that, a while back, I did a blog post on bullet journals and how I had bought one in the effort to (essentially) get more shit done. I’m a fairly organised person as a rule and I love a good…

    It’s going to be a quick one from me today, folks, mainly because I’m tired but also because it’s Bout of Books this week and I’d like to dedicate most of my free time to reading for that – I think that’s an acceptable excuse, right? That being said, I had to participate in this week’s Top…
