This post is quite late but I’d rather post it late than let it sit with the other I-should-have-posted-these-drafts in my folder of regrets. After setting my 10-year goals (or skill plan), it’s time to write about the digital planner-journal I’ve chosen for 2023–something that will satisfy my need for finishing quick tasks and crossing…

Another Achievement: Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt Certification
Some information in the certificate were intentionally hidden so don’t be alarmed why the certificate number has some digits missing or that the QR code has a four-pointed star in the middle or that the initials are too far apart. Several considerations come into play when pursuing a Master’s Degree. Does one have enough time…

170118 Because my planner needs some loving… I finally found some Washi tapes! From the stocks available in National Bookstore, SM MegaMall, this set looks the best. There was one in particular with a tape dispenser but since Washi tapes can be torn so I don’t think I’ll be needing that. Besides, the design was…

Warning: Not for those who are appalled by traditional writing systems and certainly note for those who believe a stylus and a huge phone can save the world lots of trees. I want to honor this tiny little guy right here, Pilot Birdie, in a post. It has been my constant companion since ideas raced…
Nihongo 101: Are Post-its Necessary?
