I am a list maker and note taker. At the start of a meeting, I have my notebook and pen ready to go. I don’t write to the extent that I miss what’s going on – I get the gist of it. As long as I can read my handwriting while I’m transcribing!
When we take trips, I like to keep a record of what we did, where we ate, and what we spent. The problem is, I don’t do anything with them, or the pictures taken, and brochures collected. They are all kept in one place but just sit there.
The problem might be two-fold. One – I can get stuck in “my routine” and forget there are other things I really want to do! Hopefully my new bullet-journaling will correct that. The second problem is – especially for the motorcycle trips like the one above – some trips are “with Chris” and others are “after Chris”. Chris being our friend who had a motorcycle accident at the end of our 10 day trip to Nova Scotia in 2017, ending up with a TBI and passing away a year and a half later. My stomach hurts just writing that. It hurts to remember the trips and look at the pictures. He is the motorcyclist in front of us in the heading picture and to the right of us in my first post. Great guy who was ready for a ride anytime.
I’m adding one trip to my September tasks and will put one on the list every month and hopefully that will help me get through them.
