I like to Plan a lot. It is something I have naturally done and was bread in me. People think because you are planning, that your organised. That is not the case. Its because I am disorganized I plan, I have forgotten when my son has had own clothes day, when he was doing a show at Christmas and not ordered his lunches for school, as he has school dinners, so I see it as a tool but also, a fun exercise.
I keep a written diary and use a Calendar on Notion and google Calendar and make sure I check my emails daily. It is good to have a nice diary or planner as it can feel like a chore but it doesn’t have to be.
I love journaling too and I like to design them so I can flick through and to remind myself of the main things I want to focus on.
I like using photos, images on line to create vision boards along with Pinterest and Canva, and mind maps.
It is great to get your kids involved too and designing and being creative.
Have a Family Planner that your kids can design and write on. Having a List for your children to complete where they can add stickers too once they have completed a task, adding a treat once they have done four things on their list.
I have a writing journal as love to write books, a daily one, gratitude journal and cooking.
You can create your own stickers and cut out words from a newspaper or magazine and books. I have been cutting out notes on my notebooks into my journal. I like to use colouring pens and washi tapes along with labels.
You can be a inventive as you like and can take no more than 10 minutes.
So get Creative and Get Planning.

Hello it has been one good start of the week. My son had his end of year ceremony at his school and is now leaving the school to go on to Secondary School and it was so touching seeing all the children getting up and receiving a book which had messages from teachers and a medal.
So thought this Cheat Sheet would be relevant to that because kids love challenges.
Please check it out here:

Have you ever chatted with with someone about say, You had a nose bleed and they then say “Oh well last week I had a massive migraine and was in bed for two days”. Now I am not saying you should not be sympathetic, yes migraines can be painful, but a nose bleed is still bad and then you say “Well that is bad yes, must have been painful” and now the conversation has swept passed your problem because that person feels that theirs is a lot more worthy and now you feeling somewhat like “oh mine is not so important.
We are all allowed to have fears and we all face challenges but we are all worthy of someone sitting down and listening to you and that your problem is not worth the attention because that persons felt more hard done by, by what’s happened to them.
Yes of course there are people who can’t climb stairs, but you can. #in meeting people who have a disability, never allow their problems to affect on yours and we are all have bad days or challenges and so life is not a competition. It is being on an even ground and have a good chat, without any resent or judgement. EVERYBODY HAS THE RIGHT TO SAY OUCH, HAVE A COFFEE AND BREATH IN AIR.
The one thing I like is to have is a good chat or discussion. I loved the team of people I worked with in a call center because we would just chat. A conversation works both ways and we all like to be heard and to feel that they’re not wasting someone’s time. There was one or two who wanted me to move aside for them to be the center of attention, but I would not entertain them and if they wanted to fly a flag to be noticed I’d just let them continue and put my head down to do my job no matter their feelings were and that when that happens its their own insecurities and in the end they went elsewhere.
Working for me is important to me and doing the job I have been asked to do. I would represent the department too as we did a good job and I felt that there was a resentment towards the department because we would work our butts off.
The best relationships are where you are on the same page and yes I am not saying we shouldn’t have a different point of view, its about having equality and not be snubbed because they are self centered and just think they’re story is more important. So life is not a competition and if you want a good relationship then give eachother the same amount of time to listen and talk.

Sorry I didn’t post on Monday I had to got the doctors and met up with my mum and step dad, but here is this weeks, it is tips on Getting Organised. I often write a blog all about Organisation: https://organize4thebetter.blogspot.com
I post my cheat sheet each week on various topics and I am not an organised person and because of that I have set up a routine where I will get jobs down, cleaning my home, remembering school dates and any appointments and don’t double book myself.
These are free to download and print and if you’d like to know when I have posted on this site then you an do so my subscribing.

If you are not wanting to meet with friends, then ask yourself, “Why?” and talk to that critic that’s in your mind. It will always be there. because its part of your brain protecting you but we have to push it away and meet with friends and if it doesn’t go well then noone can keep you there and it is your choice.
Will you feel left out?
Like you are missing out?
I would often feel like that a lot and I realise it was because I wouldn’t go with them and it was a personal attack, when seeing pictures on Facebook. Now I have realised, is that, no they’ve not sending me a message to say I was uninvited and often too caught up in seeing other people myself and when I did got out I would want to stay out all evening.
When I hear the word “NO” I feel like I am in a car stepping on the breaks all of sudden.
My mind is resisting right now. I want to clean the Freezer but its given me a dread feeling. What if I can’t get it clean? Should I film in a vlog? My mind is overactive and the doubt just seeps in and before I know it, that job does not get done as I weighing up the dos and don’ts.
I have my finances to go through. I feel my mind resistance in doing so and it drives me up the wall. So I am going to go through my finances, no matter what my mind is saying, but listen to my gut and know that once it is done this weekly task then that’s it updated, until next week.
It is up to me and what I want to get out of this day. I enjoyed yesterday writing whilst having the tennis on and watching a bit of Youtube. So lets see what I do next and yes if my mind says NO, then I listen to be my gut and ignore the self doubt and weighing up the Consequences.
It’s about get up and go.
