never not recommend things to people. I often recommend things – like movies, foods, wines, books, TV shows – because they’re awesome and I want my mates to experience them. If I discover something terrible though, I rarely talk about. I kind of go ‘Oh that sucked.’ and never think about it again. So today I decided to write about a few things I’ve tried, that sucked.
Bullet journalling
Everyone went mental for bullet journalling in the last few months and I lasted one day doing it. I just couldn’t cope with re-writing everything everyday. I couldn’t remember the symbols and I felt like a giant failure at the end of the day for not getting everything done. It was a disaster. I know a lot people have had great success with bullet journalling, but it’s not for me.
Juicing
Juicing is not the same as green smoothies. I fully support green smoothies because you’re using the whole vegetable or fruit there by getting all the nutrients and not wasting any produce. I juiced for a month a few years ago and gained 4 kilos and wasted bags and bags of vegetable pulp that I couldn’t do anything with. All the research shows that you’re far better off just eating what you juice. Even though green smoothies are better than juicing, it’s still better to eat rather than drink your greens. Having said that, it’s notoriously difficult to get your greens in for breakfast so you’re better off drinking your greens than not having them at all. But juicing? It’s so voted off the Smaggle island.
Meditation
Meditation makes me very sleepy, so I can’t do it during the day otherwise I just want to curl up into a ball and snooze for a century. I do find meditation very helpful for getting to sleep if I’m struggling but if I need to focus when my energy has flagged during the day. I’m much better off going for a 20-minute jog than meditating. It honestly makes me feel stoned.
