My Aunt shared this photo on Facebook yesterday (shared originally from frugalfarmwife.com) and I thought it was a perfect and fitting image for this time of year! A great reminder when making long term goals. Accomplishments- from my 20 in 2020 List I decided to NOT go through my 20 in 2020 List one by… Continue reading Accomplishments
After the long holiday weekend, let me just say it feels GOOD to me to be back at my desk before 6 am doing my morning routine. Holidays and vacations are amazing, but I really do miss my beloved mornings when I don't have them, too. Only 4 more days left in 2020!!!! Wow. I… Continue reading End of the Year: A To-Do List
So, my new Wonderland 222 planner and notebook arrived yesterday. Yay! I was excited to see the package on my doorstep. But. As soon as I opened it, I started to get nervous. It is TINY compared to my normal planner & notebook!! My current planner on the left, new one on the right This… Continue reading Planner regret??
Before I say anything else....How stunning is this sunrise picture I took yesterday morning?? ❤❤❤ I love it. Now on to my final day in the Productivity Series, Day 5. Today I really just want to touch briefly on a few other misc. productivity "tools" I currently use, mostly in the name of completeness. :)… Continue reading Productivity Series #5: Misc. and Odds and Ends
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
The to-do list. The most infamous of all lists. 😉 I have had my fair share of struggles over the years figuring out HOW the heck to manage all of the things I have to do in my life. When the boys were little, I used notebooks a lot and would write long, ongoing to-do… Continue reading Productivity Series #3: To-Do List Management
Okay, so yesterday you saw my master paper calendar/ planner system. Today I want to move in to another equally important part of my planning and organization system: Google Calendar. I know some people are very much "Team Paper" or "Team Digital", but as in most things, I fall somewhere in the middle. 🙂 For… Continue reading Productivity Series #2: Google Calendar & my hybrid paper/electronic planning 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
Ohhh, I just feel lazy right now. Like, too lazy to write a decent post. I'm not tired...in fact, I did actually "sleep in" (mostly just lounged in my dark bedroom, in the half-awake/ half-asleep state, too lazy to get up) for quite a while. It's windy and rainy out and my mood reflects it.… Continue reading Lazy
So after my very tired morning yesterday, I had a very tired day. 🙂 Surprising. 🙂 But I'm actually proud of myself, because I felt very in tune to how I was feeling and what I needed. I think past versions of myself might have tried to "power through", or say, "No excuses, toughen up!!".… Continue reading Listen to yourself
GRATEFUL KAE
