So it is the last day of October, Halloween and so is the last week that I will be posting about my Autumn Reset and I have been looking at Secondary schools for my son, for next year and we have seen ones we feel will be good for my son Henry, I have cleared out my closet, just need to move bins out of there and buy some hangers for my clothes check out my last vlog I had posted yesterday:

I was trying to complete the first draft of my second book of Mum&Me, check out book 1, already published on Amazon: https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51lK525tveL._SL1499_.jpg however didn’t so need to make changes to help me next time and also I have continued working on another book called Behind the Eyes Of the other Woman and so feel a little disappointed that was unable to complete the first drive of Mum&Me, but going to continue on and will need some editing but deadline will be by Christmas and more realistic. I feel that with half term it was hard to fit in some writing and perhaps plot a bit more and recap from book 1.

The one thing I am pleased about was completing my Counselling course so now looking to continue to learn as was given advice on what courses to follow on from doing the Counselling course. I just need to plan more. This is all about learning on areas which I found easy and what I found difficult to get my first draft of my books completed and as said keep plotting and use notes that I wrote for book 1, to help.

So been a good challenge and please give me some feedback and if you joined me in doing an Autumn Reset then please let me know how you got on. See Comment box below.

All in all though pleased with myself and have still made progress and feel good about it. That is the main thing. If it has made you feel good then that gives me a boost and that my different programmes I have created have helped you and so have a good Halloween and more blogs and programmes coming soon.

So it coming up to the final week of this years Autumn Reset. I have completed sorting out my closet in my bedroom. There still storage bins full, in there but it is organised and ready to be transported to the shed and I can now hang up some of my clothes.

Check out my latest Youtube Video, which is a vlog that includes me sorting out my closet, and there are a few more to go up so if you want to be notified of when these go up, then subscribe to my vlog channel: https://www.youtube.com/@typicallondongal

Here is my latest vlog:

The areas I wanted to complete was to sort out my closet in my bedroom in Epsom, find a secondary school for Henry, for next year, complete my counselling course I was doing and complete the first draft of book Mum and me, book 2.

Seeing the results is what matters to me and that I have uncluttered my build in wardrobe. My book is taking its time and feel that I won’t complete the first draft because it will need a lot of editing and feel I need to do an edit to continue to write the first draft but am getting chapters finished and written so far, over 38,000 words. Yet seeing it coming together and areas I like is helping me push through. This book follows on from book 1 which is available from Amazon: https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51lK525tveL._SL1499_.jpg

I want more space in life to grow my content, clear clutter from my bedroom to help me have a clear mind and make it into a nest for myself, support my son in his education and grow further my knowledge in helping people to have space in their life and have found by doing an Autumn Reset has made you see the results of completely projects/tasks and you are getting the outcome you want.

Autumn Reset Week 6: Getting The tasks Done and ready to start a fresh in 2025.

If you have been following me then you will know that this time of year I like to do a reset to get tasks that I want to complete done before the following year to then get other tasks and achieve my goals and sort out my life.

A picture of me working on my book and spending time plotting and creating ideas to complete my book 2 of a series I am writing called Mum&Me.

Yesterday I completed the sorting of my closet, which was one of the tasks I want to complete so my husband will store the rest of the bits I am keeping and now all that needs to happen is for the items I want to keep is stored in the shed where I’ll be doing my crafting again and once the completion of the shed done.

I have been working on my book. It is taking some time and struggling a bit to get the first draft completed and so need to spend time plotting and go through my notes to help.

The books I write are fictional and non-fictional and writing my second book of a series I am creating and follow on story from Book 1: https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51lK525tveL._SL1499_.jpg

It is a comedy about a mother and daughter who live together and Elizabeth lives in chaos and not domesticated like her mother. The one thing she is good at is baking but when it comes to other things, in terms of house work she can’t be bothered and rather sit and watch some TV, bake and and her mother is obsessed with TV and online shopping, filling Elizabeth home with lots of boxes.

Elizabeth neighbour Gloria who has the two point 4 children, with three kids, dogs and cats and head the school where Elizabeth son goes to, with Glorias kids, the head of the school PTFA, which Elizabeth is a member and Gloria arranges a virtue bake off, due to lockdown, but hates it when someone else wins and it not be her. She sees that other members of the PTFA, including Elizabeth want her to step down as head and someone else take over and Elizabeth puts herself forward at which Gloria tries to stop and tries to persuade Elizabeth to take her side and tries to gate crash Elizabeth’s birthday at which Elizabeth gets friendly with a drag queen. The second book carries on the story and hope it makes you laugh out load,

The other task I am trying to get done is to find a good suitable Secondary School for my son, for next year and I a nervous about it as he goes to a special school and become bit of a challenge.

I am given myself these tasks because I want to then start a fresh come January and have a good feel good bedroom, feel confident in making sure Henry is prepared for the next stage in his education and focus on other books I want to write.

I hope these blogs are helping you too and please give me some feedback as the growth of this blog continues and help have joy in your life and I have filmed for my autumn reset, please check out vlog channel: https://www.youtube.com/@typicallondongal

Autumn Reset: Week 5 When Things Don’t go to plan

Yesterday I was uploaded another vlog but there was copywrite on it and so I edited three to four times and it has gone up but a little disappointed and didn’t realise that I couldn’t show a clip of a playlist, so when things don’t got to plan it can affected other plans, so what do you do? (If you’d like to see the video here is the link: https://youtu.be/2ZvlsxFZkmo

Picture of me at Morden Hall Park cafe planning my content and for my Autumn reset

Well I now know and will avoid showing clips of music and so ran out of time to sort out my closet which I am clearing for my Autumn reset. I did work on my book, my second book of a series I am creating. Check out my first book: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mum-Me-Gucci-Tits-Virtue/dp/B0BGNF4LNF). This is another area I want to complete. Well complete the first draft for my Autumn Reset and will catch up on sorting out my built in wardrobe so going to be continuing on today, to sort that out and feel that I am in a good place with all that I want to get done by the end of October when my Autumn reset finished.

Go through what you can leave but can continue when, if you have kids, can do whilst they are at school and have made progress. Or depending on age have them help you. If it is safe to do so.

There will be times when somethings you are working take longer than others and there is cooking and cleaning other areas of the home and getting shopping and fitting in some walking and fitness. This is why it is good to plan. Be honest with yourself of on how much you can do and like my video I took a break then tried again.

Then there is sorting out my sons next school as next year he will be going onto Secondary school and we have chosen three schools. So the next stage is now applying, hoping we get a place in one of them and I am nervous. It is a lot to contend with, because my son has had to change three times to find a Primary school that could meet his needs and this was decisions made by the schools because he has ADHD and Development delay and so its many buckets I am trying to fill and not doing it bit by bit.

So how are you getting on with the Autumn reset if you doing it this year and please give me some feedback. You can do so by commenting below and remember to subscribe to keep updated of my this blog site whenever I post a blog and is completely free to do so.

Autumn Reset: Week 4 Getting things completed

I have had a successful week and please tell me how you are getting on if you are doing the Autumn Reset. There is a comment box below. So the one thing I wanted to completed was my courses I was doing. I did one in life coaching and then counselling and have now been completed and it is good feeling and so I can focus on the other areas, like my next book of a series I am creating called mum and me. My first one has already been published and so here is a link if you’d like to check it out: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mum-Me-Gucci-Tits-Virtue/dp/B0BGNF4LNF

I want to complete the first draft of the second book and sort out my bedroom. Yesterday, I did film a quick declutter of my closet and getting rid of items and what I want to keep and feels good to say good bye to stuff and the clutter is going.

I am using my mornings to focus on my book and reading to help get it together and going through the first book and going to do a bit more plotting and using my notes to help build my story and it is taking shape.

What one thing can you do each today that will help you stay on track?

So I have a weekly planner on Notion but you can us a piece of a blank paper and with open with a calendar in front of you to work out the time you have to spare. If you do the school run mark this down, along with appointments and travel, and what gaps do you have. I remember watching Sunday brunch ( a UK TV programme on Sunday’s on Channel 4) they had Tom Fletcher from McFly sister, Carrie and she writes her books on the train to work and what time of the day do you have the most energy? I find it is the mornings.

I use google calendar and to block schedule.

What’s your main focus to reach the outcome in doing this years autumn reset?

So why are the areas you want to complete important to you in completing?

For me it is having the items that make me feel happy and have a good more productive space where I can write and want to get back into crafting and so the more I can sort out the more I can have a space to do my crafting, writing and sleep in.

I like to have a space to have a cup of tea beside my bed and a mirror and just make it a perfect nest for me and not have too much on the floor and not feel so closed in.

I want to eventually do everything in the shed and workout there and this will take time, because we have had the outside and roof sorted and cleaned and decluttered in there, but still needs to be decorated and made so it not cold being in there.

Do what you can and set your goals for it and reflect.

So I hope you are getting on alright and will be back with more blogs and am filming for it on my vlog channel: https://www.youtube.com/@typicallondongal
