PRAISE THE HOLY HEAVENS FOR TECHNOLOGY I don’t fear the encroachment of technology on our daily lives. I embrace it. Actually, scratch that: I eagerly welcome and took forward to it. Note to Self Podcast (http://www.wnyc.org/shows/notetoself

Rules for an Everything Journal 1) Embrace imperfection. You’ll make mistakes and cross things out, and that’s OKAY. 2) Write, draw, scribble, tape ticket stubs and other memories…do anything! 3) Literally, do whatever you want. Don’t be hard on yourself. Additional tips: - If you have writer’s block, look back in your old Everything Journal(s). You may find gems! - I personally use a Moleskine Large Music Notebook (http://amzn.to/2iHT2yp), because it has both blank and music staff pages. Video and photo examples of my Everything Journals here (https://www.patreon.com/posts/new-year-rituals-7630245) Let me know if you start your own! I’d love to see pictures.

How to start a positivity jar 1) Get a jar (or clear receptacle) 2) Cut a ton of strips of paper (so you don’t have to cut them throughout the year) 3) Write little sentences on the paper strips whenever you feel like it. Fold strips, toss in jar, and watch your positivity jar fill up!
