I’m up for the discussion.
I’ve done a far amount of journaling/planner/documenting,,,, well, you get the idea.
Best advice: Remember that a planner is for planning-not a whip to make you feel bad when your day or week or ?? Doesn’t go to plan.
Second best advice: If you want to keep the planner and the journal of what did happen together, just draw a line down the page and use one side for each activity.
I am looking at making my own planner-journal-notebook for 2019. I’ve said this in the past, but I always have succumbed to just grabbing something and moving forward with it.
Starting mid-November there’s a blog I follow that each week we do an activity to prepare for the upcoming year. One of the first things you do is ‘reflect’ on what you did over the past year. Most of the time it’ll surprise you. I know a lot of people don’t make New Year’s resolutions or goals for the upcoming year. But I bet they just don’t have them written down or said out loud to anyone else. We all know we have things we’d like to either get finished or progress made on, and whether it’s for today, or this year, it’s in the back of our minds all the time. I find that writing them down, just notes not a full blown plan, gives me something to look at and I love crossing things off when I consider them as ‘done’. That sometimes means I’m done with it ! !
Third tip: Be flexible after making your plan. However, remember you can’t flex ‘from’ a plan if you don’t have one.
Chatty Cathy signing off for the moment, lol
