Looking for new ways to keep myself organized...

Calendar organization, post-it note abuse and endless lists everywhere are things I struggle with every day.  I am always looking for something that will help me find a better way to keep my days and thoughts organized in a way that makes sense for me.  While reading this blog post on Marcy Penner/Hello Forever's blog, I clicked over to Bullet Journaling.  I'm intrigued after watching the video.  I like that it's a mish-mash of calendar items/lists/to do things. I like that it is not pre-printed and that it looks like it will work with the stream-of-conciousness note making that I tend to get stuck in.  I'm going to do a little more exploring of the site and pull one of my many, many, many journal/moleskine books out to try this system out.

If there's anyone actually reading this blog (LOL!) and you have some tips to share for keeping track of the millions of thoughts and lists and ideas you may have, I'd love to hear them!

2014 Week 7...

Ummm...more and more and more snow.  And to make it even more fun...a now broken snowplow so it's all shoveling all the time until there's a warmer day to work on it.  Good times here in Central Massachusetts.  Another good stock market week making that huge project bearable (and thankfully it's almost done).  Lots of good food.  And an excellent shopping trip - $37 of stuff for $9!  I had coupons for almost everything I bought and they took them all!

Finished my second book of the year - Six Years by Harlan Coben.  Great read!  Trying to decide what to start next.

2014 Week 6...

Snow, longer days, snow, a surprise for my sister (tickets to see Bret Michaels a few days after her birthday), snow and some baking.  A good week for us in the stock market made the HUGE project I'm working on a little more bearable.

2014 Week 5...catching up slowly...

Another long week, but at least it wasn't freezing!  Disappointing...very disappointing...football game to end the season.  We didn't even watch the entire game for the first time in years.  And yes, I managed to get my garlic to turn blue!  It was promptly removed from the roast in the crockpot even though it's safe.  Yuck.

2014 Week 4...really late...

Weather is the big deal this week - ridiculously cold and snowy and just no fun.  But the big tray of nana's mac and cheese from my cousin was an awesome surprise!

I think I'm back.  I just spent some time updating the look and my info so at least one new post is called for.  I'm still alive, st...
