Writing by hand can help keep me from feeling overwhelmed
Anyone else out there keep a bullet journal?
Debbie Ridpath OhiJul 23, 2026

While I do have a digital calendar (I use Busycal), a digital task app (ToDoist), and a digital note-taking/project management app (Obsidian), I find that the physical act of writing in my bullet journal every morning helps calm me down when I'm starting to feel a bit overwhelmed. I'm also a fountain pen nerd, so this is also an excuse for me to use those.
