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.
