WHO AM I?
I’m Alecia Lott, a Blerd with ADHD living in Cincinnati, Ohio. I make videos that explore how to use bullet journaling (journaling / planning in a dotted notebook) to encourage and document growth and achievement, along with "regular" journaling to examine emotions and aspirations.
Uh, why are you still reading this?? Go write in your journal.

[@AleciaLott]

This made my day Moni! 🥰 Thank you for sticking with me lady, there have been some rough patches but I’m so grateful to have you there. Sending you a hug and hope you're having a beautiful week!! 💗

[@restwithjennifer9862]

Every time you say , you dont want to hear all that, i jump and think, YES I DO!!! The planner musings at the beginning are very helpful and deep and i often think, i need to listen to that again, to ponder the questions. These are some of my favorite videos.

[@AleciaLott]

That really means a lot to me, Jennifer! 🥹 I always wonder if the rambling thoughts are too much, so it’s great to hear you find them helpful. Thank you for letting me know you enjoy that part of the videos-it’s definitely encouraging me to keep sharing! 💜 I hope you're having a good week so far lady!

[@SpanishforYourJob]

Alecia! Your authentic and honest vibe is refreshing inspiration in a world of people who pretend to be perfect all the time. You tell it like it is. Yes, it’s hard to focus! Yes, it’s hard to follow up! And YES, life is messy and things get in the way!!! But what matters, is that we keep up keeping on, and focus on what inspires us. Thank you for keeping it real and sharing these nuggets of wisdom! Keep up the amazing work you are doing! 🎉

[@AleciaLott]

Look at this guy over here gassing me up 🤗 Thank you so much! It can feel like we’re constantly picking up the pieces but we just have to keep trying, even if it's messy. I’m definitely keeping up the work fren! Hope you are having a lovely week 🙌

[@polyglotmona]

You would be a great writer 😊 I like the things you say ❤My problem often is that I have too many ideas and I want to do it all and then I only make izzy bizzy tiny progress with each of the projects. Parkinson’s law is so difficult to explain 😅because it sounds like physics 😮

[@AleciaLott]

Thank you Mona! Having too many ideas and making slow progress is something I struggle with too. But even tiny progress is still progress lady! Don't lose hope. Explaining Parkinson’s law is probably the closest I've come to saying anything that sounds like physics 😅 but having an "appointment" to complete a task that could potentially take forever is a beautiful thing! Anyway, I'm so glad you're here 💜 hope you're having a great week!

[@jennydrew3768]

I love your videos each week ♥Also the setting goals and then not doing anything about them so you can't fail really resonates with me ❤ You're getting close to your 2,000 subscribers so I think you'll get them before the end of Q3!

[@AleciaLott]

Thank you so much Jenny 🫶🏾 We've got to figure out how to keep these goals from being so scary. Writing it out (as many times as it takes!!) has been helpful though, not gonna lie. Fingers crossed for the 2,000 subs-I’m feeling optimistic! Thanks for being here every week fren 💜

Alecia, i can't believe i missed your last video and Birthday! Happy Belated Birthday. I hope you were celebrated. I loved your comments on 10,000 steps. Im a bit obsessed with tracking steps and exercise at the moment. I find it interesting that when i focus on logging i take the action forward, but if i break the chain, i can become unfocussed and less inclined to action. Fear, action and self care are not always friendly companions . I keep asking myself what do you want, and i am fearful of hearing those crickets .... I don't think you know how much joy and inspiration you bring to the Tubes on my Sunday in OZ. Thank you, Alecia 🙏

[@AleciaLott]

Awww Ms. Danielle thank you for the belated birthday wishes! 🎂 YES, having a chain is awesome until something happens😅 once you break the chain (especially with apps, they have no mercy) it's like starting over from scratch. Girl at least for me there is no one answer to the "What do you want?" question, it changes errrrrry day. Don't stop asking though! 💜Sending big hugs and gratitude your way, I'm happy to have you here!!

[@ItsAJarofJam]

I really appreciated your pro,pts this week. They hit me in the gut I definitely need to reflect and journal more. Happy birthday 🎉

[@AleciaLott]

😭I’m glad the prompts stirred something up in you-it’s those gut-punch moments that lead to the best "light bulb" moments. Keep journaling (DO IT!! haha), and thank you for the birthday wishes! 💖

[@onyx.daffodil1644]

Aww ❤❤❤my bday was on the 5th. HAPPY LATE BIRTHDAY

[@AleciaLott]

Thank you lady! I hope you had a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY as well 🎂 VIRGOS!

[@licenciadabruja1]

[@AleciaLott]
