Working Wednesday - The Latest in my BuJo

 I love my Bullet Journal.  I'm always trying to think of new ideas of things to put in it, always searching the web for new ideas.  So here's a look at a few of the latest pages that I created.  Please feel free to ask any questions about them that might catch your fancy.

One of the things I decided I needed to write out were the plans I had for different days of blogging.  If I have a plan for a different thing to write Monday through Friday, I'm hoping it will make it easier to actually keep up with a schedule.  It will also be a good thing to look back at in the future, especially if I make changes to the blog over the years.

Along with coming up with my blog writing themes, I also wanted to try to get focused with other parts of my life.  I also have a plans for cleaning a different room each day, rather than trying to focus on one room a week, or just catching wherever I could.  And since I'm trying to exercise every day - even if it's only 15 minutes of yoga - I'm trying to write those down as well.  It also gave me a bit of a chance to use some of the stickers that I'd purchased to help keep me motivated.

One of the big suggestions that I've seen are bucket list type things relating to an upcoming age.  Since I have about 2 1/2 years until I turn 50, I'm going to come up with 50 things to do before I turn 50.  I haven't come up with all 50 things yet - you'll see a lot of blanks on the page.  But even if I add just a little each week, I should have my list together and be able to work through my list.

I have a tendency to forget things that I'm looking forward to coming out.  I miss when books are being released, when movies are coming out, when TV shows are going to start back up.  So I thought that making a spread for the rest of the year will give me a place to mark them down and to check out as each month is coming up.  At the moment, I've got mostly books and movies.  I've gotten away from a lot of TV watching (I've become a big binger), but I am anxiously awaiting Leverage: Redemption next month.  Leverage is one of my favorite shows so I can't wait to see what happens here!

Daily Challenge: Day 2

Today's challenge was:

Write a soft schedule for myself for the next week

What's a soft schedule (since my husband asked me about that when I was working on it earlier)?  A soft schedule is a combination schedule and to do list.  As I mentioned yesterday, I'm using Week Plan for my soft schedule because it lets me move things around from day to day, put things in a pending schedule and add in timed schedules.  I actually wrote out my soft schedule for the next week plus (through the 20th).  For each day, I've listed the must dos with the time they need to be done and the should dos with the amount of time scheduled for each chore.  I'm sure I'm missing a few things.  As I've been writing this small bit of blog post, I've remembered several more things that I'd forgotten and added them to the list.

Here's what I see for the next week:

On my idea list for daily challenges, I'd added not to forget to add in me time. I'm not setting it as anything specific because I don't want to box myself in to having something that MUST be done in a time that's supposed to be me focusing on me.  It could be reading by myself.  It could be taking a bubble bath.  It could be having a nice, hot cup of hot chocolate.  It could be taking a trip to Starbucks with my Kindle.  It doesn't matter what it is, as long as I make sure to take time that's all about me, without interruption.

I haven't gotten as many things done on the list yet today that I'd like to, but I will be focusing on it as soon as I'm done with the my blog writing.  I'm really hoping to see crossed through lines every day.

Do you have a soft schedule for the week?  Or do you have some other way of keeping track of what you have finished?

Tomorrow, my challenge will be:

Discuss ways you've changed over the last year

It's not something I think about a lot, so I'll be thinking about it today while I'm working on my other chores.
