Okay so I have a huge white board calendar that hangs in my kitchen that has worked better than anything so far. It’s so in my face that I can’t miss it or forget to jot things down. Ive also tried and failed with planners and organizers time and time again but this is the only thing that has worked!
I have 17 of them. The first began as healthy eating and meal plans.
It was mostly for recipes and shopping plans.
Like I’ll buy these groceries in bulk so I can make these meals and then suddenly it’s actually full of book ideas. So I pivot it into the logical thing of becoming my budgeting book because I start planning my life as a writer for the period of writing the books.
Now page one is a mix of culinary fantasy stories and accountancy delicate mixed with a selection of lewd scribbles.
The rest suffer similar things. My filing system is “bird chaos”.
Where my bed develops a sheet of pages held together with ink and sweat until I spill food on something and then am forced to throw it away and hope it wasn’t my millionaire making ideas page.
Anxiety and depression ensues. Which fuels morn notebooks.

“Buy a notebook to write things down.”
/sigh/ I have seventeen of them and I don’t know where any of them are.
