The Benefits of a Bullet Journal (From a BuJo Beginner's Perspective After 2 Months)

This is a list I have been adding to since mid September.  I have been working on a BuJo since mid-August, starting the habit/mood tracker September 1st. As of October 15th, I am trying out daily, weekly, and monthly pages in a separate book.  The Benefits of Using a Bullet Journal I Have Noticed at Two Months In 1. Tracking makes me pay attention to what I'm doing since I'm looking at the time to record it later. I rarely ask myself now, Did I take that vitamin or not?  I know exactly the time I wake up, eat, dress, etc.  2. Tracking has made me aware of my habits. The same color boxes all next to each other on the same line tell me I am doing some things more than I would have thought. I see what to improve on and what I'm doing good with, and what I never do! 3. This is the first time I've ever had a literal bucket list written on actual paper, or a list of places to photograph, restaurants to go, etc. The lists are all together, I'll know where
Some people write with a pencil, ✏️ able to easily erase their mistakes but never fully committing to any lines or shapes. Others write with a pen, 🖋️ unable to make a correction but permanently committed to every word written. Some of these ink users write carelessly and use white-out to cover their errors. 📝 Although hidden, it will always be apparent a mishap was once there.

Stop Holding Everyone Else Responsible for their Reactions; Start Taking Responsibility for YOUR Actions

If you are continuing to hold onto a grudge or keep blaming someone else for a dispute, always take a moment to examine all aspects of the situation, not just those you've been concentrating on. Forget about citing all the ways the other person has done you wrong, and ask yourself what part YOU have played in this transgression. Force yourself to think objectively. Were any actions of yours, good intentions or not, the start of the problem? Have you done anything to fuel the fire during the battle? Instead of jumping to defend your position as the wronged party, be honest with yourself. Quit thinking about what the other person did, and start focusing on the things YOU did. Remember, it takes two opposing sides to have a war. Consider what you've done during this feud, as well as anything you did right before the initial conflict started, that would alienate the other person. Think about everything that occurred which you were involved in. Even if you defend no harm

I Have Different Questions About the Vegas Shooting than Those Being Asked

I have been following the updates to the Las Vegas shooting every day. It has my interest for some reason. Maybe because I have been to Vegas, stood on that corner, so I can perfectly visualize how it went down and can imagine how it felt that night. I looked through my photos and have that concert lot in some images, one taken from a similar perspective even.  Plus, Mandalay Bay is one of my favorite hotels. It is on my list to stay if I ever go back. It was the first hotel I played a slot in in Vegas where I turned $1 into $10, the first hotel I explored other than where we stayed. My dolphin Pillow Pet backpack clip is named Mandalay for the hotel. I also spent my friend's 30th birthday at the shark exhibit there on another trip. I am not a conspiracy theorist but just asking these as questions. I apparently want answers to different bits of information than the press. What started this blog entry was my desire to know more about the alarm that Campos, the secur
