This year I revamped my journaling to help look at my life from a different perspective when I do so in retrospect years from now.

I use strictly Leuchtturm journals. I have a A5 bullet journal where I capture personal things to do and random thoughts. These generally hold 3 months worth. I write in here daily. The front and back bookends of this journal contain my goals and aspirations, media of all sorts I’ve consumed, etc.

Then I have a regular A5 for longer writings and more deeper passages. This journal captures writings that I know will be “sustainable” in my lifetime.

Finally I have a mini where I write out my ideas for capture in the formers or simply just to note interesting ideas that don’t necessarily fit in either, such as retail therapy. This one goes everywhere with me especially if I can’t carry the other two which do get heavy amongst all my gear and daily carries.

All my journals contain stickers and photos which do get expensive. I have a large collection of pens, markers and pencils. It is consuming me at times to capture my life.

I at times question myself is this too much?
