Raise your hand if you purchase a new planner every year, start out strong and are done using it before February 1st? I’m guessing I’m not alone in this guilted truth?! I’ve decided I’m going to make 2018 my year…I mean after all, I am 30, I should have my life fully together, right?!
Planners are used for a variety of organization and scheduling. Work, school, kids, family activities, church meetings, you name it and someone is using their planner for it. I honestly prefer to use my phone to keep track of appointments and traveling but I always feel like typing an engagement has less meaning and emotion behind it. Anyone else feel this way? There is something to be said about physically writing things down. I find more pleasure and satisfaction when the event arrives or I get to cross something off the list when written in a planner.
I have decided a written planner, in conjunction with my phone, will allow me the opportunity to be more intimate with goals, but yet organized and on time. My planner for 2018 will be used to track blogging ideas and posting dates, meditation and spiritual progress and God willing, pregnancy milestones.
What is your 2018 planner goal?
My planner is from here, purchased at my local T.J. Maxx/Home Goods.
I’m always looking for ways to change up decorations in our home without making new purchases on our 1 income while we’re both in graduate school. This past Spring, I decided I wanted to start transitioning all our brown/tan decor into silver/black for a more modern twist.
What is your next project? Do you have anything lying around you can paint to make new or move into another room to make your decorating more affordable? Grab a cup of coffee and take a walk around your house as if your in HomeGoods…I bet you’ll find some hidden treasures lying around. It can also be helpful to scroll through Pinterest for inspiration. It never fails that after an hour on Pinterest, I’m roaming the house looking for my next diy or decorating switch up.
My husband and I became “runners” a couple of years ago. It has been quite the journey, but has brought us closer and helped us to become more fit and healthier than ever before. During this new journey, I found another thing to collect in my closet…running/workout shoes! If I would have known running involved new shoes on a pretty regular basis, I would have taken this up years ago! ANY excuse to buy more shoes! 🙂
