Make Your Mistakes

We are given pencils in school as we learn to write and then introduced to pens as the standard in junior high. Until the invention of erasable ink, many of us learned to hate the writing process because mistakes often meant do-overs.  College writing was on the computer so I seemed to have escaped the "tryanny" of ink. I simply stopped physical writing after that. No more hand written anything! I've recently come back to physical writing for the cognitive and therapudic benefits over typing, especially using a bullet journal. I simply would not have braved this without the Pilot Frixion pen. The Frixion pen gives me permission to make mistakes and improve what I have written in the past. This gives me freedom to try to write and gain all the benefits of the physical process. So make your mistakes with technology like the Frixion pen. It's not about perfection, it's about improvement .

Book Recommendations

Are you looking for a good book to read on productivity, planning, journaling, and mindfulness? Ryder Carroll's The Bullet Journal is an easy read with lots of helpful tips. My favorite thing: he does not prescribe tools, he provides the methodology. This is perfect for analog or digital natives.   #mindfulness #productivity #planning #bulletjournal

Cars powered by the Sun

The future is bright for using the power of the sun to move people around. This week I began my journey as a brand ambassador for Aptera. My goal is to help rural areas experience EV cars for work and play in Michigan's four seasons.    

Do You Face the Future?

I believe that people by nature are "future facing". This simply means that we look forward to the future, wonder what it'll be like, how we will live, and what will be different.  When we're not future facing, that should warn us of a problem. It means that we have to run the diagnostics on our life to see what's wrong and get help if we need it.

Three Reasons Why You Should Journal [1 Minute Inspiration]

I have found three important reasons to journal and I'd like to share them with you. Journaling creates space for thinking -- everyone needs to process the day's inputs and outputs. Journaling helps create an anchor for your memories and what you learn. You can have more insight about your life and it can be captured. Journaling is an instructor as few of us have a mentor or counselor. How fast you grow depends on the amount of learning from mistakes and problems you can solve.
