Morning! Now only 10 days until Christmas. My "favorite" part of the Christmas season has officially passed....I actually really love the time between ~Thanksgiving and right about now. Those early December days are the best, to me. Once we get into the final days leading up to the 24th, there's always a sense of anxiety… Continue reading Screens & vaccines
Now that I've covered all of my "basics" (my planner, digital calendar and to do list system), today I'm going to cover an important but probably less crucial piece of my productivity regimen. I call this "my notebook" usually. 🙂 It's a cream of the crop, top of the line Five Star grid paper notebook… Continue reading Productivity Series #4: Accessory Notebook+ Habit Tracker/Highlight Journal system
Let me preface this post (and series) by saying that I am certainly no productivity "expert". But, it is a topic I have been very interested in for the past ~5 years or so, so I've learned quite a bit about it. My personal systems are generally still a work in progress and have been… Continue reading Productivity Series #1: Planner/ Calendar system
Day 7 of my challenge is complete! I'm on a roll. 🙂 My favorite parts of it are the daily 20 min. walk outside and the reading.My least favorite part is drinking a gallon of water per day! That's just a lot of water for me. I don't love drinking water, and if I'm not intentional about… Continue reading Outside
Another fresh week, and the first full week of a new month. I don't mind Mondays. They always feel full of promise and optimism to me. Nothing has gone wrong, yet! 🙂 The weekend was nice. We had "swim Saturday" and "soccer Sunday". Ethan had a game around ~1 hour away yesterday morning. It wasn't far… Continue reading A New Week and Habit Tracking
So far, so good on my #75 Easy challenge (more on that here). Day 2/75 complete and on to Day 3 today. The biggest key is not waiting to get started on the various to-do items. In the past, I would wait until almost noon to start drinking my water, or wouldn't walk OR exercise until… Continue reading Cutting Back
Have any of you heard of the #75 Hard challenge?? It's been floating around for quite a while now- at least a couple of years I think- and has made its way to my social media feeds numerous times by now.If you haven't heard of it, this is what it is:*a "willpower or mental toughness"… Continue reading #75 Hard Challenge….err…#75 easy.
I feel an enormous sense of relief this morning that I literally have ZERO plans on my calendar for this entire weekend. As you read yesterday, I just had a less than stellar week and I really need some open time to hopefully get caught up on life. Actually, the only thing on my calendar is… Continue reading Re-evaluating: Habits Scorecard and ‘A Question for You’
I sat outside on the deck last night at 10 pm and was going crazy at how BEAUTIFUL it was out!! Humid, warm....Just a perfect summer night. I had to drag myself inside to go to bed. Holy guacamole, it’s July 1st. Sounds weird, mostly because part of me kind of still thinks it’s a strangely… Continue reading Habit Tracking
I was texting with a friend/co-worker yesterday, and she said something that made me stop in my tracks for a second. It wasn’t anything novel or new, and it wasn’t even totally accurate, but it stuck with me all day and overnight. We were talking about all the constant negativity online and just how overwhelming… Continue reading Am I spending 1/3 of my life on my phone??
