My Writing Life

Posted on 21 February 2025 by Brett Jackson

In Brett’s study this week

This week, I have:

✔ Come back from a week off, raring to go and full of energy.
Last week we had the week off, and spent a lot of time just relaxing, visiting places and spending time with Family and Friends.
This week I have bounced back to work on the book with some much-needed energy, and managed to edit 23 chapters! This new-found energy has much to do with some changes I have recently made.

✔ Edited another 23 chapters.
I am back in the swing of things, and Grammarly is my editor of choice. With not-too-many errors, I am whizzing through the book’s final edits, and can’t wait to start sending it out to my beta readers.

✔ Converted my filofax to a small moleskine diary.
As you may know, I have been trying to make an all-in-one organisational system. I have tried Bullet Journals, and Index Card Planners, and Leuchtturm 1917s, and Zettelkasten and more.
This week I decided that I no longer wanted to carry around my big bulky filofax, so I have bought myself a moleskine week-per-page planner (with note pages) and am using it in conjunction with a similar style notebook, and my now-trusted-I-don’t-go-anywhere-with-it Kuru Toga.
After transferring all my appointments and notes from my Filofax to the Moleskine planner, I can honestly say that it’s a great weight off my mind, and out of my pocket. There is no pen loop but the KT pencil clip fastens nicely to the cover, and the elastic bands hold the planner and the notebook together in a great little bundle. I have made a small packet out of an old envelope, and carefully placed some spare 0.5mm leads for my Kuru Toga, and placed them in the notebook pocket. This is more environmentally friendly, and much easier to carry than fountain pen ink, so it’s a win all round 🙂

What sort of methods do you use to keep organised?
