Thinking about 2027
I’ve always been someone who writes occasionally—taking notes on different things, writing down quotes, and capturing random thoughts. At the start of this year, I really got into journaling. But the appeal of so many different products has left me feeling overwhelmed.
I used to do everything on my iPad mini because it’s always with me, so no matter where I am, I have what I need. However, it’s also a distraction, and sometimes it’s just nice to have the feel of paper and the experience of turning actual pages.
I’m really struggling to find the right ecosystem for next year. I have several different notebooks and planners, and they all serve different purposes. For example, I like keeping my work notes separate from my personal life. But sometimes I’m asked work-related questions when I’m out and don’t have my work notebook with me.
How long did it take you to find the perfect ecosystem? Have you found one? If so, what does it look like?
