a busy mom
and her bullet journal
I have also started to prepare my two 2017 bullet journals: My personal one, as well as the one that I would like to use for launching my business, which has been a long and arduous process so far. It's my main goal for next year: Be able to either launch my business, or have everything ready to do so in 2018. It will all depend on how the things I'm dealing with at this time get resolved. I'm slowly creating my year-at-a-glance, important dates, my month-to-month, and the other logs and trackers that I know for sure I'll be using. I started now because I know I don't have enough time to accomplish things the way I would like to once we get closer to the new year. I tend to start to fill out lists and tracker in advance. I also start to prepare to the new month the last week of each month. I feel at a loss when the end of the month is approaching and I do not have anything set up for certain tasks before the new month arrives. Some of those tasks are bills that I usually pay before the end of the month regardless that they are not due until sometimes the second week of the upcoming month. I also have things that are due on the first day of the month. Moreover, I start looking at things (mostly unfinished or planned tasks) towards the third week (or fourth if a month has five) so I can migrate as appropriate.
That will be all for today. I just hope you are all enjoying your bullet journaling and feel free to share ideas and comments. For those of you who celebrated Thanksgiving this past week, I hope you had a very pleasant holiday and that you didn't get stressed out. I know this time of the year can be very hard for some people, especially around Christmas. I know it can be a little bit for me since my family is abroad and I don't get to see them at all. Last time, it took 14 years for us to see each other. I know we don't get to choose the family we are born into and that many times, people are not in good terms with their families and, in fact, it is better if they stay away from them. However, if that's not your case and time went by and life just happened and you didn't get to see your family in a long time and you don't really know why that has happened, maybe consider at least giving them a call or chatting over Facetime, Google Hangouts, Whatsapp, or whichever might be your favourite app. Many times we take our family for granted until they are not there anymore. Don't let that happen to you. Pick up the phone. Furthermore, if you're not that far away, just go visit. You don't have to go exactly on Christmas. Do it any other time. Sometimes it is even better to just avoid the holidays. But don't let time catch up on you. If you can afford it, do it. Go for it. See them. You never know when it might be the last time. I apologize for such a downer of a post. But with everything that it's going on at home, I am forced to rethink the real value of things and set priorities differently. You don't want to be forced into a situation like that. Force yourself if you have to. Don't let life make certain decisions for you or it could be too late to do anything about it later. Take care you all! And blessings, Mariana My Supplies
