Before you get too excited, I just want to clarify this isn’t a sneak peak into the private thoughts and ramblings in my journal. Trust me, you don’t want to get lost inside my head like that. 😜 No, this post is about how I started bullet journaling this year and has some handy, free printables for you to download in case you want to give it a shot too.

Most people I know have a personal Google account and the vast majority of clients I’ve worked with use Google for Business. This means throughout any given day, I need to manage multiple Google accounts and access inboxes, calendars, analytics, YouTube channels and Drives using different logins.

I kind of hate myself at the moment. I’ve let more than two weeks slip by without posting anything. It’s been so long I’d forgotten what this website even looked like. Bleh. So much for self-discipline. I swear, unless it’s marked in my calendar with a chisel and hammer, I’ll forget that it needs to be done.
