A Journal Accountability Thread

**Sailor Kenshin** · January 13th, 2014, 10:27 AM

And of course, I suffer from WayTooManyJournals-itis.

Got my Daily, my pocket Innerweb Tips, my Religious-Spiritual Journey Stuff, an Ink Tester/Reviewer, a Favorite Places list, To-Do Lists, a pocket-sized Blog Ideas, and a new one, just for short memory vignettes.

And I am probably forgetting a few.

I'm using an Oxford notebook - I'm told that it is a Polish product, but there's an URL on the back: www.my-oxford.com (have to type in the www). It shows a few European countries, including the UK. Ah, the label does say "made in Poland."

Thanks for the information. The only things I brought back from Poland were some awesome Polish Pottery. I think I even have złoty around here somewhere. I really like that size and of course the grid pattern.

Yes, we did meet in Atlanta (although I don't live in Georgia anymore) you do have a very good memory.

I have tried journaling many times in the past but never lasted long (a week? two?). Been going strong since early November now. It's not every day, but pretty close. It helped that I had tools I finally enjoyed using -- both pen and notebook. I use a Midori Traveler, which I like because I can have a planner, a research notebook, and a journal all in one fairly compact package; it stays in my briefcase so I always have it handy and write in it many times a day. Makes it effortless to journal and I'm finally able to have some sustainable inertia to keep going.

15 days! 16 when I do tonights. I had to swap to another journal last night as well.

Maybe there should be an upload-a-photo-per-day accountability thread -- that I could fail.

At least I'm still writing in my notebook every day. (But that's not new.)

Been keeping up. Did a half-page in the Daily, and a page in Memory, though I wish I'd picked a better notebook for it.

Hey, Lisa! I'm right there with you.
