this afternoon i bought two journals - both 3.5" x 5.5" - portable enough for my k|kick moments. these two journals will be used rather than adding to my current in-my-head oil leather foiled slim journal (shown in this post). (i changed my mind from this morning.)
a new leaf/action cahier ... from new leaf paper using action method, dot matrix pages coupled with action steps pages.
action method is about project management stuff (over here). i don't have an iphone, so i'm not using an app. and at least for now, i have not signed up for the free/introductory use of the action method.i'm strictly using the paper product version, along with consolidating what i've been doing in the past. (more about the consolidating in a later post) by the way, i did purposely choose this over product for the "capturing action steps" and the unlined pages. also, new leaf products use 100% post-consumer waste, etc.
moleskine cahier ... plain journal, the same size as my new leaf journal for my SHED'n and CYCCYL'n related activities.
similar to the new leaf journal, i purposely chose the plain pages. i was starting to pick up the lined journals but something was telling me ... doodles, drawings, mindmapping, etc.crazy papers ... interestingly enough, i was refining my mission|vision|value statements this early september. i was also revisiting my "crazy papers" from '94. my crazy papers are words and doodles on tracing paper, intended to represent my creative ideas to answer a question that was BLARING in my head and sounded something like - what do i believe in and how can i shape the future? the result? i left corporate america to figure out how to create my ideas in the world. well ... here i am again - in a tracing paper/doodle mode.
a sprinkle of advanced riskology ... speaking of doodles, drawings, and mindmapping - i have enjoyed tyler tervooren's advanced riskology. (more about advanced riskology in a later post)
a friend told me about tyler's ebook, take this job & shove it (read the ebook). it really resonated with me because it reminded me of 1994, the year when i left a conventional corporate structure after my early morning (~ 5:30 AM) may '94 epiphany (more on the epiphany in a later post). fast-forward to now - having re-entered another bureaucratic structure, i am experiencing what i recollect to be the excitement i felt during my '94 transition.how does this relate to advanced riskology? he wrote a fabulous post about his answering his own question "What do I really want to do with my life and how can I do it?" and here is his article capturing how he answered this question - how to write your biography 40 years early. (READ IT!) it's oddly exciting how similar his weekend question answering is reminiscent of what i did through the years of my business, as i was further refining (and changing) my direction. just LOVED his sharing his experience. and now ... i'm incorporating tyler's ideas into my current undo-looping.
looks like i'll probably buy more cahiers.
oh well. no harm in that.

Hi Shirley. I'm so glad you enjoyed the article and the guide. Sounds like you're familiar with the kind of life strategies I like to talk about, so it's nice to know there are others out there that think like I do. A bit of solidarity. :)
