disclaimer #1: those are not inherently my ideas. when I created this list for my bullet journal I scrolled through tumblr and wrote down everything that might work for me too. the idea to organize them that way is not mine either.
disclaimer #2: what works for me might not work for you. this is just the typed out version of my list in my bujo. if something on it is not applicable to you, maybe you can come up with something similiar in effect that is?
disclaimer #3: browsing the book store for me means also talking to my coworkers, bc I work at said book store. that’s why it’s under companionship. same goes for the cafe, bc I used to work there.
