I started writing new words i come across or words i feel like ive known forever but don’t feel like i know their full meaning in the back of my planner. I think i’m getting back into the practice of being more careful with my words. It’s not in a way that’s restrictive or suffocating but more so in a way that’s playful and fun :3 It usually leads me to more questions to google around and figure out or get lost in. Like i love the kind of diagrams like this Coastal Landforms one that showed up when I was trying to figure out what a “gloup” was.
sometimes i can’t read my own handwriting though :/.

i write down all the new-to-me words i encounter while reading and turn them into digital index cards. i've also been realizing lately that there's a lot of words i don't actually know the meanings of despite being familiar with them. those go in the cards too.

Even if you think you know a word.
I do this all the time when I am reading and writing. I do it to double check that I am using a word in the right context, or to double check that I want to use this word in this context. Maybe by looking up the definition I will see a synonym that I like better. Or maybe I’ll learn a new definition / alternate use for that word. I make myself mini dictionaries in my journal and my notes app

Recently I bought a little pack of palm-sized notebooks in an effort to be more “analog” with my notes and thoughts (pretentious, I know). With a world of increasing options, I’ve found I am all over the place with my notes. I have some in Apple Notes, some in Notion, a few in other random apps I’ve accumulated over the years, and I’m sure others in places I forget. For the past month I’ve used these handwritten notebooks and it’s like something finally clicked for me. Just a quick jot away, I’ve got a pad filled and another started, with drawings/diagrams of ideas for projects and little notes I want to be able to look back on. Just make sure if you do this you pair those notebooks with some muji pens or your preferred writing tool for the ultimate experience.

I feel really enveloped when I listen to this while I’m walking and my steps sync up

this is the kind of song that i kinda forget switches up a bit towards the end and everytime i remember it does it makes me just want to hear it on repeat.

it feels really dumb to be super pissed off and angrily light a joint that looks like a strawberry. its silly in a way i appreciate because it reminds me that most of the things i am angry about are small and silly.
it’s nice to be less serious!!!
