Let's Talk All Things 2020

PODCAST LOVE
I love Laura Tremaine's 10 Questions for the New Year. In fact, I was in a bit of a New Year's funk until I got my favorite new journal and my favorite my favorite Pentel .7 Mechanical Pencil and commenced to answering. I liked the questions so much, in fact, I've decided to devote the entirety of this notebook to this New Year's exercise and to hold it just for that purpose, year-to-year. I think it will be a fun and fascinating look back at life and my best moments and biggest dreams, year-to-year.
(SPEAKING OF)
I have at least 18,000 photos on my iPhone at this moment, and that is not an exaggeration. (You can imagine how many are in my full library.) So to find Laura Tremaine featuring HOW TO ORGANIZE YOUR DIGITAL PHOTOS in a recent episode of her podcast TEN THINGS TO TELL YOU was music to my ears. Her guest is actual certified Photo Organizer Miss Freddie (who knew?) and lest you find that silly--take a listen to the conversation. Good stuff here, and I am totally on board. Yay!
BINGE LOVE
The Crown, Season 3, Netflix. NO CLAIRE FOY? Are you kidding? But it is SO SO good.

THREE THINGS I'M LOVE LOVE LOVING RIGHT NOW
ONE
The Leuchtturm1917 Journal as a Bullet Journal. I find it to be perfect (Medium A5 dotted hardcover, please) and keeping a Bullet Journal has become of the most important discoveries in my life in the past decade. No kidding.
TWO
Spotify Premium. (Thank you, Eliza!) We rarely turn on the television in our new house (nor did we in our old, so I'm not sure why I mention that…), but in this new location Spotify seems to always be playing. (COMMERCIAL FREE!) It makes my heart happy.
THREE
The Spotify Playlist Wordless Winter, from Kendra Adachi of the podcast The Lazy Genius. There is a little Christmas on the playlist, and I love the lingering.
