We brought back from Japan just four of these gold Rollbahn Planner Notebooks. They start now (October), go through Dec of 2019, feature a clean monthly layout and include a full notebook’s worth of blank grid pages and 10 clear pocket pages. It’s pretty much the most perfect monthly planner we’ve ever seen. $34 for these puppies. #plannernerd #stayorganized #notebooktherapy #timemanagement #planneraddict

Last day in Japan. This was my third visit in two years (#dreamsdocometrue #becausegoals) and I have to say: Tokyo always captures my heart. I wish I’d taken more pictures for you all, but I’m also glad I didn’t have my phone out much. #beingpresentinthemoment and all. Mimi and I are mulling over doing a Japanese trunk show, so let us know if that sounds like something you’d like to see (sneak peek into all the new merch, background on why I chose them, free sake and shochu, good times?) (ps this photo is by the fine folks at @tokyobike_jp in the Yanaka district) #japantravel #tokyo
Sneak peeks from today’s Tokyo haul: Beautifully designed planners, mini weekly planners (travel ready!) and multi-colored Frixion erasable pens. #planners #2019planners #getready #traveltools #frixion #modernstationary #analog
A ton of finds from today’s shopping in Tokyo, but this one is particularly exciting: these @writesketchand double sided blank A5 notebooks. Beautiful, modern, so functional. Also, something great about a Mexican (me) buying an Italian product (Write Sketch &) in Japan. Thanks Tsutaya Books for the inspiring selection 😍👌#globalcitizen #noborders #tsutayabooks #italyinjapan #tsutaya #notebook #notebookart #notebooklove #tokyo
Travel /life tip: When you find yourself in unfamiliar territory, say a foreign country or just a really hard conversation, get familiar with saying “I’m sorry” and “Excuse me” in their language first. ⁣ ⁣ Reason: Unfamiliar territories mean we will fail again and again and again. These fails are not invisible. Others totally see us flailing, and acting like we know what we’re doing (when we absolutely don’t) only makes the situation worse. ⁣ ⁣ Bonus: Saying sorry reminds our brain that this failure is not permanent. It does not mark us for ever, it’s just part of the ride. ⁣ ⁣ In Japanese “sumimasen” works for both saying sorry and asking for help from strangers. Of all the phrases I’ve learned, this one comes in handy like 100 times a day. #lifelessonsIlearnedfromtravel ⁣#tinytraveltips #sorry #japanese #visitjapan
Japan Shopping Day 2: Really hard to stay focused on modern, minimalist stationery when I stumble upon things like a cat bookstore. #allcatsallthetime #catsandstationery #catsofinstagram #japanesecats #catsofworld
I’ve been spending some of my time in Japan in cafes working on a blog post about this thing called Escalating Assertiveness (EA). ⁣ ⁣ EA is a framework for understanding how to ensure your time, your personal space, and your wellbeing (among other precious resources you have) are respected by others, in a way that is brain friendly for them, and in a way that increases your odds that they’ll respect those boundaries. It has four levels:⁣ ⁣ Level 1: Basic Observation/ Statement ⁣ Level 2: Contextual or Empathetic Request⁣ Level 3: Natural Consequences/ Demand⁣ Level 4: Natural Consequence Follow-Through⁣ ⁣ The real magic of it involves three skills: Knowing how to do each level well, knowing which level to start in, and knowing when to move to the next one. ⁣ ⁣ Keep an eye out later this week for that EA post to see my examples of these four levels in action. ⁣ #takenosh*t #respect #believewomen #genderequitybeginstoday #lifeskillsforall
There is something entirely satisfying about grabbing your keys and feeling they reflect your style and life: Simple, organized, and beautiful.

All styles $9 each. . . . #stayorganized #keychain #keyring #brass #easylife #beautiful #minimalism #minimalista
Japan Day 4: I used to feel very guilty when traveling if I didn’t know the local language. It felt like I was being yet another clueless /entitled tourist. In fact for many many years I only traveled to places where they spoke Spanish or English (my two languages). My fear of being anything short of perfect was keeping me from many new experiences. This quote is a handy reminder that on this trip to Japan, I can learn five new phrases or words well, and keep using the five from last time, and it’s the progress of it that matters. Nobody is keeping score of how good I am, they just notice if I’m kind and patient and thankful for their help. What skill (or lack thereof) makes this quote resonate for you? Is there some area of your life where you could use a #progressnotperfection reminder? . . . FYI — shopping for new merch begins on Day 6 of this trip, for those excited to see what I’ll be bringing back! . . . #traveljournal #languagelearning #languageexchange #inspirationalquotes #learnanewskill #coachingquotes #japantravel
This trip has already been a great reminder of why travel is fantastic for the mind (research shows that it helps the brain stay young and prevents dementia). These health benefits are likely not because travel is relaxing but bc it forces the brain out of autopilot and into intense problem solving mode. Travel acts as a kind of 3D sudoku, if you will. So these photos are from Day 2 (3am snacks in Ueno Tokyo) to Day 3 (quiet fields and foggy mountains rural Nogano prefecture) and in between these photos was hours upon hours of being lost, realizing we didn’t have transportation we thought we’d have, being pretty stranded and coming up with plan C, and luckily, eating a lot of delicious snacks to keep us going. So here’s to the magic of travel 😊
A simple way to make your life feel organized, use a beautiful keychain. Three brass styles new in the shop: double sided magnetic, capsule, and twist & lock $9 each.
Heading on to a 12 hr flight, I’ll be away from the store for the longest time since we opened, there could be so many things I could freak out and worry about, but then I remember this quote, and also, that I’m leaving the store in the hands of the most superbly capable people ever (thank you Mimi, Emily and Summer!) and I know the best thing to now use my mind for is getting excited about what I’ll learn and find in Japan. #thankgoodnessforgoodpeople #worryless #calm #entrepreneurquotes #smallbusinessowner #trusttheuniverse

The greatest skill we can build is the ability to calm our mind exactly when and with whomever we want to. If you’re a freelancer, small business owner or founder, you know this skill is put the test again and again because so damn much rides on your shoulders. I reeeeally get that. It makes me extra excited about our next workshop with @yworkshops_ (Oct 24th) where we tackle the science of worry and stress and provide tools and techniques specifically tailored to business owners and freelancers. Sign up through our homepage, link in bio. Excited to see y’all there. . . . #destress #pdxnow #pdxworkshop #portlandoregon #anxietyrelief #worry #workshops
