About Me

Hi! I’m Brian Hazard, LPC, CADC, NCC, CODP I. (Look at all those letters… It’s like soup!)

I’m a licensed psychotherapist who’s been studying productivity and organizational techniques ever since discovering the amazing book Getting Things Done by David Allen in 2014. I am constantly trying out new systems and experimenting with ways to get more productive and efficient. When I was diagnosed with adult ADHD in 2016, it answered a lot of questions and gave me some direction on what I needed to learn next. Then in October of 2018, I discovered Bullet Journaling and its amazing community.

My incredibly busy life has been a blessing, so now I want to help others benefit from everything I’ve learned about organization, productivity, and self-care.

I’ve worked as a counselor and administrator in the field of substance use disorders (addictions) since 2006. In 2020 I was the Vice President of Clinical Services of a large drug rehab when it occurred to me that I had gone down the wrong path. I struggled with time management and procrastination because I hated my job and couldn’t admit it. So I took the plunge, quit my fancy high-paying job, and started doing what I love most – being a counselor at Unbroken Family Counseling in Plainfield, IL. Check out my fancy Psychology Today profile! Now I get to spend my time helping people help themselves and creating content both here and on YouTube. I get to focus on mental health, addictions, and self-discovery – and I couldn’t be more excited! I myself am a person in long-term recovery from using any drugs or alcohol since 1997 and I continue to interact with others on the same path.

For fun, I am an avid tabletop and video gamer and amateur singer/guitarist (every once in a blue moon). I like making small book nooks and wooden toys/model sets you can find on Amazon. In addition to running this website and interacting regularly in the Facebook groups, I also “run” two small YouTube channels – Game Spasm (a gaming channel I neglect entirely) and this one (for everything else).

I have a beautiful wife named Jenny, two sons strapping sons, and a lunatic mutt-pig-dog-horse-frog-goat-cow-rhino named Kit (she’s just a dog).

I created Frankenlog to meet my own needs, but I made Frankenlog.com to see if I could help others meet their needs as well. Let me share my experiences and discoveries with you!
