Welcome to Scatterbird Diaries
A personal record of exploring, evolving, and creating a life that feels right.
This is my corner of the internet, my calling card, my stamp—and it’s anything but professional. It’s a chat with a friend, advice to my younger self, musings on the journey, and a space to be human.
Maybe we’re on a similar path, or maybe our journeys are completely different. Either way, I hope you find gems of insight or inspiration in the words I write. More than anything, I hope you find comfort in knowing you’re not alone in this human experience.
What You’ll Find Here
Scatterbird Diaries is divided into three sub-blogs, each with its own focus:
📌 The Journey: A space where I document the messy, unpredictable process of building TidyPath (and whatever comes next). Expect personal reflections on growth, burnout, and figuring things out as I go.
🎭 The Playground: A sandbox for exploration, where I dive into hobbies, test productivity systems, and track lifestyle experiments. Some last weeks, some fall apart in days—but I document it all.
🌿 Living Well: A space for self-care, sustainable productivity, and life outside of work—whether that’s setting better boundaries, rethinking productivity, or finding moments of adventure.
Who Am I & Why Am I Writing This?
I’m Ashley—a thinker, builder, and experimenter trying to create a life that actually fits. Scatterbird Diaries is my way of capturing the process—the questions, the pivots, the failures, and the unexpected insights along the way.
I write because:
-
I believe in documenting the journey, not just the highlights.
-
Writing helps me process and reflect on what works (and what doesn’t).
-
(Most importantly) My 15-year-old self really wanted to have a blog, and that dream hasn’t died yet. This is my era of fulfilling the dreams that have been patiently waiting for me.
