I think this should go here?
I stumbled upon some cleaning videos and was most intrigued by a kind of "updated" Flylady (who is, herself, an updated S.H.E.!). This Clutterbug lady is pretty fun to watch and i like her stuff. She has a day planner page that she made for herself and you can buy for $1. I don't like to give my email and credit card # out if i don't have to so i just STOLE her idea!
I did an idea-planning thing on "paint" and then tried to make it come to life in my 9x6 sketch pad. It's working! Of course, it's only been 2 days, but it's FUN and brings out my deformed and latent and sad artistic side. LOL
I do a new page each day rather than having photocopied sheets. At the top i draw a simple border. On the left i start with prayer focus and a passage i read. (Praying for sick ones right now!) Top middle i write an inspirational verse or quote.(Mt 6:33) Very top right is the date and weather. (I'm always wanting to remember how the weather was.)
Then i have a focus spot of the highest priority "to-do/s" of the day. And a "delegate" spot for a task or two that i need/want someone else to do.
On the bottom left i put a sticky note to write reminders. If needed i can take it with me. So far it's been exercise and eating reminders, and things to think about for work. In the middle bottom i draw an arrow pointing upwards that has a list of chores to do (ideally in the morning). The right is then open for whatever - a shopping list, journaling, doodling, things i'm grateful for, etc.
I'm interested to see if i can keep this up and how it might evolve over time.
I plan to sit down each evening and make one for the next day. This *IS* hormonal planning, tho', and i won't beat myself up if i drop it in the next couple of days.
I use markers so it's very colorful!!!
I've always tried to find or make MY most useful planning tool. I might need to go bigger but this smaller version might make me hone things down.
