pen to paper first! then I bring things online. I keep daily journals that really helps me get everything out in front of me, and then I can figure out how to create it digitally!

Digital tools are necessary for a lot of things, but more and more I'm looking for ways to start and supplement my workflows offline
Recently I drafted several emails in a notebook by hand — I realized upon review that they were more creative and thoughtful, which was good, because they were high-stakes communications
Although I do have digital productivity tools in my life, nothing beats—for me—a handwritten list of tasks
I keep a tiny notebook in my pocket for jotting stuff down. I realize that if I whip out my phone to jot down an idea, I may get list in the machine and forget the idea before I've even recorded it.
Also some writing, by hand, at the start and end of the day to observe and consider the day
...okay, after re-reading your rec, I don't know if this is even applicable or on topic so I'm gonna wrap up and click "Share"

i've always been a paper guy. i think it just helps me think through what i'm reading if i'm reacting to it in a separate place.

love being able to instantly add photos + writing down my thoughts + keep it all on my ipad
getting a paper-like screen protector gives that writing on paper feel too
also just look at my cover I made my journal, it’s too cute to not share

I know it sounds crazy, but trust me it's so good! All you need is radishes (sliced into however you want! or keep them whole, that's totally fine!), and just roll them into the butter or use a knife to spread it, and a sprinkle of sea salt, and enjoy! it's so simple, and the flavor and texture combo is out of this world good. delicious thinly sliced radishes with a knife on a mandolin (but be careful!!!) with proscuitto and parsley in a sandwich (or on a flatbread/cracker) as well
Also check out Ploughman's lunches!! it's basically that exact vibe and I'm sure there's some inspo on pinterest!

one of my favorite journals is my cooking journal! I have one for each specific year and I write in it monthly, in real time. it consists of my grocery lists, farmers market lists, seasonal produce, meal plans for the week, recipe development (i also have a website i'm working on and a future goal is cookbooks so i'm always journaling this as I work on my recipes!!), meals I had out, dishes from cookbooks catching my eye, recipes i want to try... etc. really, everything food and cooking! it's more of a commonplace book of everything food related where I can develop and create recipes! it's fun to write the recipes out, and you have a place to make notes on what works, what didn't work, what to try, etc. Sometimes I even like to journal what playlists are going with the week - it's fun to see it along side all the cooking. it's always a fun look into the seasons too!
You can also use it to keep track on recipes / traditions you want to remember!
