The New Year has come and I'm excited. Right now, I am feeling really positive about the year ahead of me. I'm not really one for making new year's resolutions or putting a lot of pressure on the start of the new year, but it is a good marker as a starting point. I'm not … Continue reading Welcoming 2019
It would be really nice if I could say that my life has changed in a week, that the addition of a journal to my productivity plan has changed everything and made me get 200% more done this week than before. But that's not a realistic thing to have happened (in my opinion - let … Continue reading My First Week with my Journal
