Making Time

January 2014

February 2014

Here is a view of January and some of the activities I have planned for February. We have 24 hours in a day and I find it hard to take time to plan.  I took a Franklin Covey course years ago.....having one calendar, and checking the calendar before committing to another event is one of the techniques I learned however, find it hard to follow.  Keeping an electronic calendar and a paper calendar is so time consuming. I need to figure out a method because we are two months into the year, and I want to make the best of each day.

Pens and More Pens

My Rainbow of Pens for my Filofax

This picture does not do my rainbow of pens justice because you cannot see all of the vibrant colors. I like to use the different colors to brighten my Filofax pages. I do not have a color scheme, just whatever color I pick out at the time is what I use. It makes me happy using a bit of color.  I do not know about you, but it is hard for me to pass up a new set of color pens.  A friend gave me the pens below which have glitter accents. Just delightful!

A New Approach for a New Year

Blogging is not for everyone, and it appears not for me. It is hard for me to find the time to post on a regularly, so I am going to try planning my posts. For 2014, I have decided to dedicate three days of the month to blogging, 1st or 2nd, 15th and 30th. Hopefully, I will have something to say worth saying, it not, I will say it anyway.  I am going to plan more, so I can do some of the things I really enjoy..running, reading, and trying to blog!

This is off topic, but I wanted to write about it.

In 2013, I had too many of gadgets, apps and calendars (Filofax Personal, Erin Condren, Moleskin planners).  To get my day started I had to remember to bring my phone, iPod, ear  phones, iPad, Blackberry (work), attach my Fitbit or my body media to my clothing or on me. When I arrived to work, I had to plug in my iPhone, iPod, and iPad.  It was too much! To make matters worse, I was using several apps for my workouts and tracking food intake.  In addition, I was using a couple of productivity apps.

I am cutting back.  I have decided to stick with my Fitbit, and Nike+ for my physical activity.  I am going to use Evernote to manage my documents, and Nook and iBook  apps for my magazines and books.  I am using the Filofax A5 for my calendar. That is it.  As much as I like the Moleskin, and Erin Condren, I just cannot keep up with so many calendars.

I hope to have positive results to report on January 15.

My New Filo-Makes My Heart Sing!

My new Filofax.  The Original-makes me wanna sing-Isn't she lovely, isn't she wonderful!
She is so full, she is bursting at the seams. To reduce the bulk, I was thinking of removing the first six months of the year to another Filo for safe keeping. Maybe, maybe not. I just cannot add another thing to her or she will not close.

Here are a few pictures.
