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 Back to School Day, part 2, as I call it....Obviously the real "back to school" occurs in the fall, but heading back after winter break always feels like another "1st Day of School". This was the lowest key of all low key winter breaks, ever! But that's okay. I feel a twinge of guilt… Continue reading Back to School (part 2) + a tip
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
I haven't done a monthly goals post in a while. Mostly because I sort of gave up on really "setting goals" as this year progressed. I mean, I've been doing stuff/ accomplishing stuff, but in terms of meeting specific GOALS each month- not really. Then I got very annoyed with myself for writing things down… Continue reading DECEMBER goals
(exhale/ big sigh of relief.....) I feel like I'm actually in a really good place with my big "Christmas To Do" list!! And it is such a relief, because it's only November 29th. (Which is also my Dad's birthday!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD! Love you.) I have to say a word of gratitude though, for help… Continue reading In a good place
My concentration has been CRAP the last couple of weeks. I thought last week was just an outlier week, since my head was wrapped up in figuring out the garage stuff. But we got some of that resolved (at least some decisions made, I think, and even a lot of actual progress in putting things… Continue reading Frustration with focus
Good morning! Short on time today, but here's a quick Friday 5 of misc. stuff in my life: 1- I stayed up too late watching the Packer game last night, but it was WORTH IT, with a crazy ending and a win over the Cardinals of 24-21. Being the good empath that I am, my… Continue reading Friday 5
So I'm not huge into the whole "planner world" like some other people are, but I have dabbled just a little bit (100% thanks to SHU and her planning content/podcast). I don't really like change very much, so I don't see myself bouncing around and trying all different products and dayplanners, though. I did switch/… Continue reading Keeping planners forever?
I was listening to a short Before Breakfast episode this morning while I put my contact lenses in, and Laura mentioned the idea of doing a brief review of your previous week on Monday mornings, to reflect on what went well and what didn't the week before. Since I keep my little daily journal tracking… Continue reading An audit of the week
I did listen to the Best of Both Worlds episode on Division of Labor & Mental Load the other day, and I found myself nodding along with interviewee Allison Daminger. I was out walking, so I snapped some screenshots to remember particular segments that spoke to me. I love the tip to screenshot podcasts when… Continue reading Quotes on parenting + mental load
