So, back in May, I wrote a post about Checking in and making changes. I had mentioned that I wanted to start planning out my time...well it took me a few months but here I am starting to structure my life.
At the beginning of the month, I was in a store and spotted an academic planner in the office supply section. It's a cheaper and simple Erin Condren-esque planner. (Let's be honest, who has $50+ to spend on a planner, plus the extra cash for the fun stickers and sh*t? Not this girl.) *sigh*
It's a start for me. I've planned out the whole month of August and September, and I have to say, it's been really helpful. Not that I've stuck to my To Do's that well, it's something that needs to be eased into. I'm not going to lie, being able to tick off a box after a task is complete is quite satisfying.
One day I'm going to go to the dollar store or check out the craft stores for some cheap sticker packs and other things that could be used to decorate the planner. (No, it's not necessary, but I'm a simple human and therefore get unexpectedly enthused by pretty things.) I've got a limited supply of stickers now, and only because I saved my "collection" from when I was a little one. (Yay for hoarding! This is why I can't throw anything out! >.<) But they're not the sort of stuff I can use to fill up the pages.
At any rate, the point is, I'm actively using this thing daily and have been enjoying the process. I'm not an organized person at all, which is a trait I wish I possessed. Hopefully the more I implement this tool and tweak it until I find a way that makes me efficient, the more I can accomplish.
I have big plans for myself and my future, but none of that can get moving until I organize my life and sort my sh*t out.
