Just doodles

Hello strangers!

Life has been ridiculously demanding of late so the blog has clearly suffered.

However I have briefly been resurrected unto the world of the Web - nothing to talk of that might be of even the slightest interest to my readers though. How about some drawings I did this week?

Any thoughts?

Filofax / paperchase blog planner inserts: part 3

Oh, hello!

Yes, it's me again, two days in a row - can you believe it? In all seriousness, I've been just awful lately with posting to my blog. I'm at a crossroads in my personal life* and add to that the darkening for the skies for Autumn (yeah right, it feels like winter already) and add to that the fact that I've had so many ideas swooshing around in my head I don't know where to start!

Well, let's put an end to that, for one and all, for once and forever!**

I've created a third part to the blog planner inserts - a simple weekly/monthly schedule. Have at it:

I'm always coming up with great blog post ideas. Trouble is, I don't keep track of them, I forget, so all you guys are lumbered with reading from here is this nonsense - sorry about that by the way. 

Well, the time had therefore come for me to improve things, and incorporate blog planning into my personal sized planner. I used the printables noted in a previous post as inspiration and came up with the below.

part 1: a list of the ideas, indicating when they're posted 

Chores (or general mega to do) List 2 - Sticky Note To-Do list v.2

It's Saturday again - which means chore time for me.

You may recall I said in my previous post on this (Chores (or general mega to do)  List 1 - Sticky Note To-Do list) that I said I had 2 options I had thought of. Well, let's forget counting because I find that as you try one option, depending on the success you have with it, you end up finding ways to improve the method.

As I have done below...

Chores (or general mega to do) List 1 - Sticky Note To-Do list

My goodness what a disastrous mess my bedroom and bathroom have become! 

This is of course to be expected with a creative-shopper-hoarder type, which I admit to being. The peculiar thing is that I actually enjoy being organised and the sense of satisfaction that comes with a de-cluttered and thoroughly polished dwelling. A de-cluttered environment leads to a de-cluttered mind. 

Yet there is so much to do it's overwhelming - where to start! 

There are 2 options I've come up with and this is the first - probably great for the first time/one off stuff you need to do before you can actually make a regular structured way of doing things. Here's the how..

Social Media Tracking Insert (and best blog planner printables)

I've been a bit quiet for a while eh - I'm just nearing the end of m my third month at my new job and spent a month training my colleague while continuing with my normal role - so I've basically been trying to do a two person job and teach at the same time. I'm not complaining but I'm weary it's leaving me little time and energy for my hobbies including the blog!

Anyhoo,  I reckon it's pretty important, if you're going to commit to developing your social media, that you somehow track your progress. 

There are some amazing printables out there which I'll quickly share below, but these are all surplus to my needs. At the moment I just wanted to track my followers, my posts, my most popular posts. SO here is what I came up with, as an insert for my filofax:

(again, I'm printing in magenta as that's all the ink I have (we don't do much printing in this household and we're frugal with the ink and paper!))
