I'm curious about meditation and what are the difference between the many different techniques : Transcendental, Zazen, Vipassana, etc.

I now some of you guys practice meditation and perhaps have tried or use several different techniques. Please tell me what works for you and why ! Many thanks <3

Any mother out there, please join me on this goal so we can have a nice motherly circle and share our experiences !

Hi guys !
I used to go by StarPrincess on the old 43
And I used the TigerWoman name during my short-lived attempt on PC

I had created a page to keep track of how many books I'm reading and will read this year, and left a little room on the left to add whether I liked it or not.

Today I created a similar page to keep track of the books my toddler is reading and will read this year too. I also left room on the left to add whether he liked it and how much. If it's a book we own I underline the title, if it's not underlined it means I borrowed it from the library. I figure it will also give a good picture of how much we borrow as well, once the year ends.

Yay for books :-)

TRYING THE BUJO THIS YEAR :-)

I'm one of those people that need pen and paper. And lists. I cannot even deal with grocery shopping without a list ;-)
And as far as organizers go, I've tried a few different things before... but so far the shoe never fit. No matter what I tried - be it the cheap planner, the fancy one, the Filofax, or the Moleskine - it never quite worked for me in practice. It often ended up making my life more complicated (as in turning planning into a chore) as opposed to making it simpler and more productive.

I was intrigued when I head how totally customizable the Bullet Journal was. It seems you can make it exactly as you want it to be. So I decided to give it a try this year ! I just used a notebook I already had.

I would highly recommend trying this out to any freelancer out there and seeing if it works for you. After a few weeks, I can tell it has already made a huge difference in how I organize my work and structure my day to day, so I'm pretty enthusiastic about it thus far. I need to try this for longer to see if it really works long term though. Let's see what happens !

What's already clear is that there are so many goals I won't be tracking here on 43 because I feel covered by my Journal. I'm thinking about tracking different things on here, possibly less of the daily goals and more of the longer term goals ? This would make sense given that I won't be coming online every day. If anyone else is doing both, let me know how you get on !
