I was thinking this morning, as I filled out my little daily journal page....I am so glad I started including a section of "things I accomplished". I've been doing this religiously for a couple years now. I'm currently sitting in my car outside a morning swim practice, so I don't have my journal with me… Continue reading Writing down things I accomplished
I've been wanting to mention this for a while, just in case it would help anyone out! If you are looking for a way to write or journal that does NOT involve writing by hand (which is not for everyone), check out Penzu.com. I have had a free Penzu account for years now, though my… Continue reading An online journaling tip
In the front of my Wonderland 222 planner there is this "Yearly" page, with little boxes for each day of the year. The whole year is spelled out over just 2 pages. These boxes don't leave a lot of room for writing, but I've developed a little code system that allows me to track a… Continue reading Mood tracking
Asher is really busy right now. Obviously he is back in school, but he also has play practice after school, volleyball Tuesday/ Thursday and swim practice almost every night. It's a lot! Possibly (probably?) bordering on "too much", but we decided to allow it because it's a fairly short period in time. (The play is… Continue reading A 12 year old’s perception of “free time”
So far, so good with my "March" challenge to limit social media to only 15 minutes per day. Besides using the timer, I'm not imposing any other limits of when I can use it. So, most days I end up checking facebook several times during the morning-early afternoon. And then I run out of time… Continue reading 30 day challenges
Since I started January without extremely hard and firm "goals" fully sketched out, I spent most of the month not really stressing about trying to do anything in particular. I had a few things in my mind that I was kind of focusing on, but a full on New Years Revolution- no. My one big… Continue reading January numbers
February 1st today!! We're 1/12 of the way through 2022. Crazy. "It's a long month...." You often hear people lament that January is a long, slow month- it's the thick of winter, the holidays are over, everyone is trying to implement their "New Year's resolutions"....it's kind of like one big, long Monday all month long.… Continue reading Too many ideas, not enough time
It's only a few days until the new year!! I haven't had a lot of time yet this week to really dive into prepping my 2022 system, and it feels like it's sneaking up on me. I kind of wish I had the 31st OFF and could just spend a few hours puttering around getting… Continue reading 2022 Wonderland 222 planner prep
Today is Day 1 of the big swim meet I'm coordinating (well, it starts tonight at 5:30). Friday night is the "distance events session". It's only a couple hours long and not TOO many kids, so should be pretty low key today. (The big kahuna really starts tomorrow.) Asher is swimming the 400 IM for… Continue reading Context shifting
Good morning! I just need to acknowledge this lovely moment I am enjoying right now. Ethan and Ivan just left for an 8 am basketball. Asher is still sleeping. I'm sitting in our sunroom (arguably the best room in our house), with my little space heater on, my Christmas village glowing behind me AND it… Continue reading Upholder life
