2026 Changes to Journaling Practice
Wednesday, March 4, 2026
some reflection the changes to my journaling habits I’m implementing this year.
Books
Oh no, I think I really do want to go back to use my pocket notebook 🧠.

Don’t have much to say in relation to updates. Been a few days since I made this account and haven’t used it much. Because I spent so much time trying to make an account on mainstream Mastodon work, I’ve grown tired of social media.
I was interested in micro.blog because it put the blogging before the social features, and it made me realize that while the blogging space has places like bearblog.dev, pika, and others that focus on writing, microblogging is usually paired with social features (X, Mastodon, etc).
I just want a semi-public place on the internet to post some small thoughts, a thinking tool. Or go back to using my pocket notebook and keep refining the system. Checking back on it is the habit I felt important I had to build.
Hm, I wonder how or if folks if the PKM sphere are having this issue 🤔.

@annewalk Hi! Nice to hear someone else switching to Obsidian. For your posts, folks might be interested how much the whole set-ups cost on a monthly basis, and any uses cases you're comfortable sharing.
my tags:
#MarySephReads - sharing web articles and other interesting writings I've read.
#MarySephPKM - BuJo, Notion, and other personal knowledge management updates
#MarySephCodes - web dev updates
#SciCommMusings
#MarySephTalks - account updates
projects:
#MarySephSite - personal site updates
#WeatherLog
#SciCommInternship
Updated my #Notion active projects page. Still need to add my monthly goals in the respective database as well.
interests: #Obsidian, #BulletJournal, #PKM, #WebDev,
misc.:
#MarySephCrochets
#MaryTalksTech
long-term projects: #MarySephSite
Then I went to my general Obsidian Vault and created a file called "2025 Projects," dumping all the projects from my first attempt organized Area (PARA method). This helped me merge all the information from the sticky notes, Notion, and paper with some new additions to completed and WIP projects that had some odd names, and start classifying them.
The Obsidian MD file also allowed me to add links to the completed projects which I also retroactively added to their respective Notion project. At the same time, I updated the Projects database.
There's few things more satisfying that also feel like peak self-care than spending a good few hours writing down *everything* I'm putting my energy into. I used a combination of paper, #Notion, and #Obsidian.
