#Microblog Monday 362: Carried Over

Not sure what #MicroblogMondays is? Read the inaugural post which explains the idea and how you can participate too.

I just started a new bullet journal. It happens about every 1.5 years, so the last bullet journal was like 98% pandemic.

I have a section in the front of things I commonly forget and then drive myself bananas trying to remember. It’s a weird mix of things. The word “panopticon.” The name Simon Armitage. (I seriously just had to open the notebook and look that up. I don’t know why I cannot retain his name for longer than 30 seconds. I will forget it again by tonight.) A hotel we stayed in 19 years ago in London. I don’t need to know any of these things, but when I can’t remember something, I obsessively think about it. This is easier.

Each time, after I copy over the list, I add in anything that I want to remember from the last year or two. All the new stuff that has popped up in the previous bullet journal. So the section is now 12 pages long.

The funny thing in recopying it is that I will find the same thing on the list two or three times, as if I’m proud of myself for remembering it again… not realizing that I remembered it earlier.

Are you also doing #MicroblogMondays? Add your link below. The list will be open until Tuesday morning. Link to the post itself, not your blog URL. (Don’t know what that means? Please read the three rules on this post to understand the difference between a permalink to a post and a blog’s main URL.) Only personal blogs can be added to the list. I will remove any posts that are connected to businesses or are sponsored post.
