Autumn Reset, completing projects, reshape your life, restarting, Yearly Reset

Doing a Autumn Reset, helps to Reshape everything. If you have tasks that are unfinished and tasks that you’ve not had a chance to do, because of the school holidays then now is the right time and focus on few things and what is the most important to you right now.

If you are having a make over in your home then why not invite friends or family over to help. As a kid whenever we decorated, our home, one of my cousins would help.

Once you go through the items that you want to complete but, like if you decide that the colour paint you wanted has changed, then change it and get a paint chart. One of mine is filming for my other channels. So going to arrange filming in another room.

Perhaps do some filming outside the home and want to improve them.

If there are items that you not able to change or work on, then fine you can go back to it at another time.

I go through what I can do rather than what I can’t do and go through what is the first steps can I take to change the areas of my life that isn’t working and often you may find that you have to start over again.

If it is relationship and your not seeing enough of each other, set a day aside one a month or once a week to go out. A change of environment can do wonders. My husband and I would book a day before Christmas and go to the Southbank, as they often have stalls, then visit Borough Market and have some Winter Cider or Mulled Wine.

Or you want to see a member of your family more often. Find their contact details and make the effort to call them and send a text to ask if they can chat and it is simple tasks that can really help get your juices flowing, to do such tasks, as we can get so stuck with life that we forget the things that can really help you get back on track if you feel your not socialising enough.

I tried many ways to do regularly exercise after I had my son. I started to get up early whilst my husband and son was a sleep and work out. Now I workout in the afternoons and often my son will join me, this is a great time to set some Autumn Goals to help with doing an Autumn Reset. I found that it is the right time and do about 5 to 10 minutes. Not everyday, but twice a week or so.

Once you set it out you find it is easy to Reshape and the one thing I find useful is doing a Mind map. I do this often and it really helps make sure I am on the right path, to finally get projects finished.

Have a schedule, be flexible if other things crop up and why not do a family reset if you want to use the Autumn Reset to spend more time with your kids. So get back into having a weekly family meal and now the schools are opened it means homework, so create if you join me in doing an Autumn reset, do a homework plan so that it is done on time and not rushed and have a family meeting to go through planning with your kids, of getting homework completed.

There are no rules to it and you can start at the beginning of Autumn or during. Ir is up to you and if it helps you, keep a diary or a journal to reflect on how it is going and if you finding something difficult and adjust as you do This year’s Autumn Reset.

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.

building your life and home, finding the right time and place, getting tasks done, getting things done, Yearly Reset

Today I went to Morden Hall in Morden in London and it has a lovely shop and a lovely cafe. So to work on getting things done is to find out what is your favourite time of day where you have the most energy? For me it is the morning and where is your favourite place to go to help get things done.

This morning in Morden Hall Cafe. Working on my book and video scripts and ideas.

I spent time in the Morden Hall Cafe writing notes for my books and working on my other channels and video ideas and watching a bit of Youtube. I love working in coffee shops and cafes. There were other people doing the same and just so good to be in a place that energizers you and tomorrow I am off to see a School, as part of this reset is to find a secondary school for my son, for next year.

I checked out my closet in Epsom that needs to be sorted out and have a idea of empty another storage cube bin and my corner unit and this is going to happen on Thursday and today finished another question of my counselling course that I want to complete by the end of this years Autumn Reset.

Some maybe a night owl and like to work later in the evening, which I was doing for a while, but I like the mornings, so do a reset and on a day and time that suits you and works around your daily schedule to get tasks completed by the end of October 2024.

It so good to find a time you know you won’t feel the massive slump and not be bothered but that you are excited to do the tasks that will help you get the outcome you want. Like working on my bedroom in Epsom will give me more space to hang my clothes and not have everything all over the place and it does no good being the way it is, so doing it when I know I will gladly get it done. This is how you commit and move on to the next projects and areas of your life you want to focus on. changing your home be the what you have dreamed of and same with finishing a book or a course.

So lets continue and my first week went as good as it could as I had a my a sick child, who is now better and got what I could, get done, but not putting too much pressure on myself.

If you like to share your first week of this years reset then please lets encourage one another. You can use the comment section below, and please subscribe then you’ll never miss a blog.

Autumn Reset, getting tasks done, health and welllbeing, managing life, Yearly Reset

So yes my Autumn Reset is over, but didn’t manage to complete my third draft of my book, so set out a plan to get it done by the end of the week, I did however, complete the organisation of my room, and on the chosen areas, and it feels so good to have more space. There are still more to be done, but taking shape and feel better in sorting it out.

Sorting out my shoes, I found some white slippers I forgot about, brand new and so got them on now, and then I found a coat that I hadn’t worn for a long time, and now my go to, coat again, and check out my blog site: https://carriesversatilefashion.com where I have talked about it, I love how clear my desk is and so going to keep it that way, and my wardrobe, check out my Youtube video where I declutter it: https://youtu.be/jPPz-9NRqJY

I have had feedback by people liking my blogs and going to keep doing a Autumn reset but there are changes I need to make for it, to be even better and space out my projects, as I find with youtube I get somewhat behind, and so need to spread out my work on my blogs and videos better.

I do have ideas for a new Winter programme, and so once I have put it together I will let you know what it is. So I hope you found my blogs helpful and hope you have a good Halloween and so more reset blogs and videos to come. My blogs of my Autumn are going up, and so make sure you visit my main youtube channel, to watch these and more blogs coming soon.

Many thanks for reading,

Autumn RESET 2023: Where to begin

living with less, planning for Autumn, setting up a plan, starting a reset, Yearly Reset

So if you are new then last year I did a Autumn Reset getting tasks completed to make a fresh start for winter through to the new year, and so doing the same this year. Please check my previous post, that contained my free printable: My Autumn Reset Begins the introduction and start by using a calendar to plan out the tasks you want to get done and when.

example-of-a-calendar-to-use-to-do-a-resetDownload

I have used Excel to do this and to plan out the second edit of my book When Mothers are Real, and is a fictional novel, and have written other books, on amazon. I have written EBooks but want to make changes to these, so are not available at the moment, but still have books on parenting, The Parenting adventures and novels, under my married name, Carrie Challoner and Carrie Holmes.

We are going to do this together and I have a board set up to on my Pinterest ready to upload these videos and for other resources that will help you, and creating more space into your life.

I then do a list of what needs to be completed and set a deadline. Make it realistic and what you know you can get done. The end of this reset will finish on the 31st October 2023.

I have used my Filofax to take notes of the items I need to complete and on OneNote which was the prep for it and as I go through it, making changes and adapting to a new routine I have begun, due to my son starting a new school, and what is important to me, and give me time to spend with my son, when he comes home. I have been doing some online courses and this is on my priority list, and want to sort out my bedroom in Wimbledon and get rid of more stuff that I have not worn or used, and see if I can sell some items, recycle and donate.

So get that calendar and planner and start getting ready to finishing tasks and create goals, and declutter and reorganize your life so it is functional and doesn’t course burn out but more energy and being in a happy environment will lead to better wellbeing and mind.

As I am writing this blog I am jotting tasks down and idea to sort out my Youtube and go through playlists, as the music ones have the same tunes in them and so repeating the same song, and I use playlists to help me write and in the background to help me to concentrate and stay focused, and so as you reset put on some music or sometimes it will be a podcast and get started, and keep record of your progress.

I find doing a reset helps boosts my mind of other areas I want to work on and so jot them down, but if can’t do them in this reset, then I will leave them to the next reset, and get my life sorted out, which for me is the aim and set goals as you begin and get projects completed.

Lets do this together.

Many thanks for reading,

Carrie X
