Since I was a guest on Best Laid Plans recently, I have had several requests to share visuals of my digital time logs/ journal pages that I referenced in the episode. Before I do this, I have to make sure to pause to give huge credit to Laura Vanderkam. I downloaded the original time tracker… Continue reading My digital time logs/ journal pages- with visuals!
Since I've moved digital with my planning, I've also been making an effort to keep track of a few recurring tasks digitally. Recurring tasks is an area I was never super great at managing when using paper, though it's certainly not the paper's fault. I just never really had a solid system in place for… Continue reading Monthly vs Weekly Recurring Tasks, digitally
I woke up this morning with many things rolling around in my head that I wanted to do. I've actually struggled with this in general lately on the weekends- lots of random things to do, but none of them necessarily time sensitive, exactly, or urgent. So, on some "free" weekends like this one (i.e. not… Continue reading A Numerical List Style Saturday
A general focus for me so far in 2024 has been to work on FIXING and SIMPLIFYING things that are persistent problems. I've had this nagging feeling for a long time now that many things in my life are mildly "out of sorts". Some areas just need a good declutter, yes. But others are minor issues… Continue reading Fixing/ simplifying things + a little Second Brain talk
How often do you fully clean out your personal email? I usually always aim to do a big email clean out/ catch up on Fridays. But that does not always happen. So Plan B is anytime over the weekend. Sometimes even this gets away from me and I might end up with up to ~2… Continue reading Email cleanout frequency
The school week is going very well! Ethan reported being "tired" when he got home last night, which is not surprising. I am actually not sure if he meant physically (from soccer), mentally or just sleepy; probably a combination of all three. He continues to be very positive overall. Wednesdays and Thursdays are their block… Continue reading Changes cont. & thinking about school year routines
I've heard a few good nuggets lately that have stuck with me and been rolling around in my head. Figured I'd share! + Laura's blog post titled "If others can, you can." She talks about how it can be helpful to remember, whenever you're feeling overwhelmed or incapable of something, that usually many other people… Continue reading A few things inspiring me + a Facebook update
It's August!!! How, I do not know, since I literally still feel like I just got home from Costa Rica. But that was March 26, so apparently that was over 4 months ago now. This is the first month in a while that I actually feel in the right head space to embrace the "new… Continue reading Definitely feeling the new month vibes! Hello August!
Now that I'm sort of getting "back in the groove" of life, I've resumed my current method of time blocking. Since I've been really leaning into my Google Calendar, I've been trying to fine tune some of my digital habits and systems. One thing for me that has never really worked is doing time blocking… Continue reading Current time block method
An interesting product! This weekend we stopped at Best Buy so Asher could get a new screen protector for his phone. I wandered around a little bit, looking at the latest tech gadgets. I'm rather out of the loop when it comes to "cool tech stuff", besides my iphone and Apple watch. Oh well. Part… Continue reading Interesting idea, weekend, etc.
GRATEFUL KAE
