Ellipses, Nov 25… quick notes and balance
Ellipses… a small, special character.
Used by writers to slow down, create a pause, and indicate thinking.

⚫️ 1 tip: Switch between Quick Notes quickly 📌
Quick Notes in Apple Notes is the reason why so many people are checking out the native Notes app more. And Quick Notes on the iPad? Mind-blowing. Some folks are even switching to Apple Notes entirely because of this feature!
Super important tips with Quick Notes:
You can have more than one Quick Note.
You can switch between those Quick Notes with a quick left or right swipe.
This is cool for all Quick Notes, but especially when one of them is your digital bullet journal. (More on that below 👇)
⚫️ 1 link: Everything you need to know about an Apple Notes bullet journal 🔗
Apple Notes is my main PKM system. It's a game-changer. Its simplicity removes learning curves and breaks down the complex tech barriers. Because of that, I actually spend my time using it instead of thinking about how to use it.
(Props to those of you who find Potion, Quotidian, or Foam intuitive. Let's grab coffee sometime so I can gain brain power via osmosis.)
Anyway. Even better? Putting a minimalist weekly digital bullet journal in Quick Notes.

⚫️ 1 journal prompt: A balance test 📔
Because it would've been a super cop-out to tell you to write down what you're thankful for… (Happy Thanksgiving btw), I have something else for you.
Test your balance. This IG post from the Slow Growth made me realize I'm not as balanced as I thought.
Imagine you take a break from your work for a week, or a month. How does that make you feel?
I commented on that IG post, saying that I couldn't imagine taking a break for that long. The handful of likes on that makes me feel like I'm not alone.
(Yes, I'm delicately back on IG… I feel like such a hypocrite, but I'm only human.)
Thanks for reading!
Comment to chat further on any of the above. See you next week.
Be safe and well,
🖤 Jenny
