... Plan Your Life ...
I am the sort of person that makes lists about everything. I remember
seeing my mum when I was younger, and she would always write down her chores
and her expenses and have notebooks for everything.
That was until I started making lists and planning my life, and that’s
when I finally understood why my mom was always so fuzzy about her books and
making sure she was ticking all the boxes in her to-do list.
It’s called adulting, being responsible and yes, sometimes it
sucks but it’s your choice to make it a chore or a fun task.
I decided that I want to do the later and I have to say ticking
boxes and having everything in order is a somewhat satisfying feeling for my
other disorientated and unorganised soul.
The first step to planning your life is obviously getting a
planner or a notebook.
Make sure it is one that fits your needs and that it helps you
keep everything in place.
Below I have a few of my planners and notebooks and I
explain how you can keep everything in place and make sure that your life is a
bit more organised so that when things get a bit busier you know you can always
take a look at your lists and see what you can change to de-clutter your life.
Life planner
This planner consists of all the "to-dos" in your
day.
I opted for a weekly one because I like to make plans only for the
upcoming week and not more than that as I find it too overwhelming.
My notebook
has another section in the front which has a monthly planner and there I make
sure to write all the important dates and things I must do in the month, but it
doesn’t matter when as long as I do it within the month I have scheduled it
for.
Work planner
Here is where I keep everything related to my
blog.
I schedule the writing and the editing dates, when I need to take
pictures and anything that I need to do to make sure my posts are up to date
and how I want them.
Blog ideas
This is the
notebook were everything happens.
All the brainstorming and the inspiration behind every post, everything
that gets published in this blog has made its way through that notebook.
This notebook
is filled with ideas and future plans and anything related to the blog.
The list-book
Yes,
I have a notebook full of lists.
That is because when I feel a bit overwhelmed and I don’t know
what my purpose is, it makes me feel a lot better writing down
everything I want to accomplish in my life and all the goals I have, so when
life gets a bit too much I can read my lists and re-center.
This notebook is also filled with list like my monthly to-dos and
my budget lists, any recipes I want to try, any travel plans and destination I want
to follow, quotes to live by and inspirational words from people all over the
world.
It helps my soul when I feel down and it keeps my thoughts together.
The journal
Now this is
a more personal book.
Here's were I get to write my deeper thoughts and feelings, my
goals and my resolutions as well as what habits I want to have and how I can incorporate them in my every day to make my life healthier mentally and physically.
Hope this gave you some ideas to start making your own notebooks
and planners.

Don’t forget
to have fun and decorate your notebooks and your lists and make them look nice
and cute.
I swear to you, drawing, decorating and overall making the lists is so
therapeutic for me and I think apart from organising my life this is one of the
biggest reasons why I keep making them.
What’s your favourite way of keeping your life organised?// Do you
