I like to plan, I always have been a planner. I like to know what is happening in the week ahead and the feeling of being organised and prepared. I don’t know what it is about the start of the new year, but it always makes me want to go a little bit planner crazy ha ha!
The start of a new month and a new year, means a fresh start in my diary and my bullet journal. I get all excited when I get out all my stationery to plan my week, all you stationery lovers will know this feeling well ha ha!
I cannot believe we are about to be in a brand new year, 2020! I love the feeling of a brand new year, the fresh start feeling where anything is possible.
I like setting goals for the year ahead, I prefer to set goals than resolutions. Throughout the year, there will of course be new goals I will want to achieve. I have set out overall goals that I would want to work towards. I think setting goals are important as for me it gives me focus.
I can’t believe I am writing my reflection of 2019, how is it the end of the year? It is also the end of a decade! I feel that the end of the year is the perfect time to reflect on what has happened and what you have achieved. Sometimes I forget to remind myself of how much I have achieved or the positive changes that have happened over the past year. Writing a blog post like this is humbling and I feel incredibly grateful for another year. Posts like these act as viral diary for me to be able to look back in years to come also.
It is nearly half way through December and I cannot believe it’s close to the end of 2019. This year has definitely flown by and this year has been great for my blog. I am wanting to reflect on 2019. Reflection is key to appreciate what you have achieved and the progression you have made. I have definitely pushed myself out of my comfort zone and taken more accountability with my blog and creating a strict schedule. I have gathered a list of my favourite 5 blog posts that I worked on this year.
Winter is here! The cold weather is drawing in, but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy yourself or have fun family days out. You can utilise the weather! I have complied a list of 40 different activities that you can participate in and make some wonderful memories with your family or friends this winter. I am definitely going to try and tick off as many of these as I can.
The Christmas period can be expensive but it doesn’t need to be. You can have a wonderful holiday without having to worry about financial pressures. I usually worry each year about buying enough for my family members, I want to treat them as much as I can. But I have to remind myself it is not all about the presents and money, it’s the thought and spending time with them that really matters. I actually started Christmas shopping early, for the first year in a long time and it has definitely taken the pressure off. I have compiled a list of tips to stay on budget, I hope these can help you if you are finding it stressful.
