Bullet Planner

 I have started to set up a kind of bullet planner for 2026. I want to use it instead of a bought planner or calendar. As I don't have a ton of appointments and to-dos to plan, it is going to be rather minimalist. Probably I will not draw in it, but just decorate it a bit with stickers. I have my sketchbooks for drawing and painting.

At the beginning I have monthly overviews where I put in holidays and birthdays. I have a single to-do page right now for things I want to do sooner or later. I will add weekly pages as I need them, as soon as there is an appointment or to-do in this week. The trick is that I use a ring binder for it, so I can add pages and remove pages and move them where I need to. I can add more content when I need it and put it where I want it. No empty pages, but content in perfect order. 


I will see where it leads.

Introduction

I have been drawing for 20 months now. I started back then, because I wanted a creative hobby, that you can do on a daily basis without needing lots of material initially. So I decided to learn a bit about the basics of drawing, practiced and soon found out, that it is easier than everybody thinks. And after all, you don't have to be perfect for it to be fun and for your drawings to be valuable. You are free to find your own way of drawing. While drawing as often as possible, I often find myself thinking a lot about this craft and me doing it. I certainly like drawing and sketching in sketchbooks. They are like journals you can browse through again and again and see what you were up to when you filled them. I am going to share my thoughts about drawing here and hopefully will dare to share one or the other drawing.

New Sketchbook

 There is nothing like preparing a new sketchbook after you have finished the previous one. I like to decorate the insides of the front and back cover with stickers. One that says „Sylvia‘s sketchbook no. x“ and some simply for decoration. After filling the first page I also add the month I started it. After filling the last page I then add the month I finished it.  The stuff on the right is just digital.

Why draw?

Why spend your time and energy on drawing? Because of health issues I often feel there's a brake inside me, that tries to prevent me from drawing. I guess, it wants me to save my energy for the important things in life. I find myself constantly trying to persuade this voice that drawing, being creative is important. But why is it important? One thing I know for sure is, that I have always had this urge to be creative. I have been doing web design as a hobby for a long time now. I occasionally have created graphics. Drawing is my newest creative endeavour. You just need some paper and a pen or pencil and there you go. Where there was a blank page, there is a nice little drawing afterward. You have created something. What a great feeling is that?! Humankind has come this far, because we are a creative species. It's in our fabric. And drawing is just one way to be creative. The only challenge is to find out what you want to draw. What interests you enough to grab a pencil an...
