Journal Jam Fall 2022 Day 2

[annofowlshire]

Day 2 Question:

Do you keep your old journals/planners, or do you get rid of them? If you keep them, how do you store them, and do you have a longterm plan for them? If you get rid of them, do you throw them away? Burn them? Something else?

(If you answer elsewhere, drop us a link in the comments.)

I keep all my bullet journals. They are a helpful resource because of the things I track and record. I store them in a basket on my desk.

As for my planners - when I was teaching, I would keep the last year's planner in my desk to reference when we did things, how long it took, and other things to help me plan the current year. Up until a couple of months ago, I kept all my previous years teacher planners in a box in my closet along with other teaching souvenirs. I cleaned my closet out and threw them away in May. Sometimes the *weight* of things I possess gets to me and I go through a splurge of tossing things out.

That resonates with me very much. I am a person who very much enjoys a periodic purge, and I know exactly what you mean by the way it just feels so much lighter to purge things you aren't going to use anymore.
