Our first livestream was a huge success, thanks to everyone who showed up live and then watched the replay! I was hoping for 20-30 live, so 130 live was amazing! Over 400 people watched at some point, and 1000 people in the first several hours. Just blown away, thank you all so much!
We covered so many topics and books during the video, thank you all for asking great questions! This page will serve not only for the replay but also for the different books and resources discussed in the video.

Q&A Highlights
Do you keep your journals and notes? Yes to all journals, the oldest I have here is from 2011. Even had a time tracking sheet in it! I don’t always keep notecards, but I do keep notecards for books.
What bullet journal notebook do you recommend? Both Leuchtturm and Baron Fig are great, I’ve heard good things about Scribbles that Matter and Rhodia but haven’t used one yet.
Pens and such? I use a few different pen types, including the Sakura Pigma Micron and Staedtler Triplus Fineliner. The others are whatever kind of solid quality pen that’s easy to get at any store. Lately it’s been the Pilot G2, but I also like Uniball Signo and Pentel Energel. PenAddict.com is the best resource here.
Notebooks, Notecards, Etc? I love Baron Fig and Field Notes here for their range of products. I use at least a couple of them every day and have there cards, pads, and books scattered across my life. See more about all of these in the EDC video.
Do you use bujo stamps? No, just not my style.
Do you have different journals for work and life? I do, though I’m trying to integrate into one better. I do really like the pocket size Baron Fig for personal journaling. There is something nice for me about separating life and work – I tend to be caught up too much in work and need the split. Watch the journaling video for more on this topic.
