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
Good morning! It's just after 6 am and I've been up a while already. My family always asks me why I still get up so early on the weekends. The answer? I just really love this time of day. It's quiet, peaceful, and... I don't know, it's just my favorite time! There are actually times… Continue reading More covid woes + gratitude ideas
Completely random, but my friend sent me this and told me to make it my iPhone lock screen (she knows I love Christmas). Haha. It is pretty cute. Friday Woot, woot, it's Friday. Overall, another good week around here. I think I credit a week of pretty predictable/ routine days. I'm totally a creature of… Continue reading Friday feels
On Tuesday I posted about following my own lead when I was tired. I tried to do what I really "needed" to do that day to feel good, not just blindly follow my to do list or self-imposed expectations. The other day, I read about a sort of related idea (but in an opposite direction),… Continue reading Clearness
Kids: Living the school/life balance right now. They just finished 1st Quarter last week and got their report cards. Straight A's for both! I was super happy to see that they really seemed excited and to care about this. Thanksgiving break is coming up. They will have the entire week off instead of just a… Continue reading Life in categories
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
After getting to bed too late last night (my fault/choice), I woke up around 3 am after a creepy dream. It had a very scary (and very realistic!) climax which jolted me awake and literally had adrenaline buzzing through me for a few minutes. It was a perfect representation of how the mind/physical body are… Continue reading Beautiful day/ sleepless night
My big accomplishment of the day yesterday was that I didn't get in my car or have to go anywhere in the entire day. 🙂 I know we are all supposed to still be staying home, and for the most part, we are. We really don't go anywhere too exciting these days, but with the… Continue reading Housekeeping- cleaning & meals
I like this pic I took the other day. I told the boys I took a picture of heaven. 🙂 I feel like I had a good week, thinking about it as a whole. All in all, I'd give it a solid A- probably. But when I was skimming over my highlight journal entries for… Continue reading 5 Bad Things
GRATEFUL KAE
