The adjustments shown below are simple yet impactful. You’ll essentially learn how to take your timeline from this: View the progress of tasks within your timeline.In today’s post, I will outline the highlights and some of the more advanced features that people have been asking me about for years. ![]() Sometimes you may want to embrace the turmoil and heartache and other times you want to focus on sunshine and unicorns.Since the timeline feature was introduced with Project Professional 2010, Microsoft Project has made great strides in improving it – especially over the last three versions. After the Januuprising at the Capitol, I really wasn’t in the mood to work on Hamilton lyrics (which also has content about rising up, but against the British). As with lyrics and poems, you want to be mindful of what you’re copying/writing as reading/writing it might have the opposite effect. You don’t have to go to such crazy lengths but maybe copying a book while focusing on your handwriting is more your style, or maybe practicing the strokes of calligraphy hand will work better for you. Because of this, I often spend time doing this at night before bed. Sometimes I only want to write a few lines and other times, I can finish a whole page (it takes me about 45 minutes to an hour per page) or more, but when I’m done, I feel just a little bit less anxious and I can breathe again. This is another one of those times where I can only remember a few words at a time because it takes so much concentration and time to write in this style, but my mind can’t think about anything else during that time. I had wanted to read this book for a long time and I randomly decided to use that font for the first two pages and then thought, what the heck, why not? 120+ pages in and it is still one of my favorite ways to unwind and relax. I have been slowly writing out Marcus Arelius’ book, Meditations, but rather than doing it in cursive or print, I decided to do it in typewriter font. It might take some time to figure out what things you want to write and it’s ok if different moods means different content choices. And since I can only remember a few words at a time (so I don’t mess them up), it’s hard for me to think of anything else while I’m writing them out, which is a nice break from the constant stream of thoughts pounding inside my head. Even if you know the words by heart, I find that handwriting them makes me slow down and really feel the meaning behind them. If journaling isn’t for you, maybe writing down the lyrics to a favorite song or the verses to a beloved poem is more your thing. The choice is yours and I know some folks do multiple types of journaling. Some folks like to share what they write with their significant others or on social media and others never let their journals be seen. You can also write as many pages as you like. ![]() You can write just a few lines - there are several notebooks out there for just that purpose like Midori’s 5 Year Diary or Leuchtturm’s A5 Some Lines A Day notebook. It can also be a very private place for you to release what’s inside you. It can be a beautiful and creative outlet just take a look at the IG accounts of Catharine Mi-Sook, Aina Kristina Reyes or Erick Gama, for some lovely examples. Journaling is basically writing down what’s in your head and in your heart. I even mentioned it last year as something I want to work on this year. Ok, I’m starting with something that I actually don’t do, but keep wanting to. Here are some of the things that I do when I feel powerless, scared and wound-up inside maybe some of these may help you too. It is during times like these that I really lean on my pens to help me find some semblance of peace, or at least, maybe calm some of the anxiety that keeps growing with every negative event that happens. All I want to do is stay in bed, play a mindless game or four on my phone for hours on end, pull the covers over my head and hide. Sometimes, like right now, it is too much to bear and I feel like I have a heavy weight on my chest. ![]() Recent headlines of other mass shootings, politics (which I REALLY don’t like talking about), COVID infections ramping up again, the war in Ukraine the list goes on and on. The news of this week’s mass shooting at a school in Uvalde, TX has left me heartbroken, sad and powerless. She can be found on Instagram because there really are many, many hobbies!.) ( Kimberly (she/her) took the express train down the fountain pen/stationery rabbit hole and doesn't want to be rescued.
