HERE ⤵️ At first, I liked this phrase. I hea HERE ⤵️

At first, I liked this phrase.

I heard it listening to Matthew McConaughey’s book, Greenlights and nodded my head as he shared a string of wise sayings. 

Then, I wasn’t so sure.

I mean, what’s so bad about working hard throughout the week so you can feel good about taking a break? 

🙅‍♀️ Nothing. 🙅‍♀️

But EARNING rest? That verb changes the dynamic. 

If you identity as a type-A go-getter, then you’re used to striving for others approval just as much as your own. And when you view productive days as good and non-productive days as bad, then the whole concept of “earning” rest is just another performance-based measuring stick we use to define our worth.

👉🏼In case you need a reminder, you can work hard and rest hard without one requiring the other, and without either reflecting your value as a person. 

How does the phrase “Earn your Saturday’s” make you feel?

How to romanticize fall as much as possible… 🍂🍂🍂

MAKE A FALL ACTIVITY MENU!

👉🏼𝘚𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘢 𝘧𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘥 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘢𝘥𝘰𝘳𝘦𝘴 𝘴𝘶𝘮𝘮𝘦𝘳 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘩𝘢𝘴 𝘢 𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘥 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘰 𝘧𝘢𝘭𝘭.

They need to know they’re not alone.

As the days grows shorter… and colder, my depression and anxiety like to come out and play. So I’m giving myself a lot of grace (and comfort) during this season, while seeking out joy in the cozy sweaters, pretty fall leaves, autumn-themed reads, and Gilmore Girls. 

A Fall Activity Menu is keeping my spirits high this year and I’m finding *delight* in a season that’s usually full of struggle. 🤍

It differs from a fall bucket list as there’s no pressure to check things off! ❎

Do you have a favorite book, show, or activity you love to do during this season? 

I would love some more ideas to add to my “menu”!👇🏻
WELCOME to all the new faces from the Get Organize WELCOME to all the new faces from the Get Organized event last week! 👋🏼

I’m so grateful you stumbled upon this little corner of Instagram.

My name is Kalyn and I get nerdy about helping you stay on top of all your to-do’s. I’m a digital/analog hybrid planner who spends her free time hiking, reading, and reorganizing my Notion dashboards. I also live and travel full-time in an RV! 

@openroading is where I share all the travel goodness alongside my husband, Joseph, and our bunny. 

But on THIS account, we chat about building better habits, creating life-giving routines, and achieving our goals while connecting them to a bigger purpose… without neglecting the need for grace and self-care.

If that sounds like something you need in your life, this account is going to be your vibe. I’m glad you’re here!

QUESTION FOR YOU 👇🏻

What is your biggest goal right now? I’m here to help you confidently achieve it!
THIS WORKS. ⤵️ When your to-do list doesn’t THIS WORKS. ⤵️

When your to-do list doesn’t feel doable, action verbs (or the lack of them!) are probably to blame. 

Maybe it seems silly to add an action verb to every task, but I promise your brain will work faster to process what it needs to do FOR that task. You won’t waste time thinking about what you need to do. You’ll know exactly what do from the very beginning!

Was English Class one of your favorite (or worst?) subjects? I have to admit I kind of miss diagramming sentences. 😆

The truth is… I still use a paper “planner” The truth is…

I still use a paper “planner”… it’s just currently inside a blank notebook!

I use this notebook for:

👉🏻 my daily to-do list
👉🏻 random notes
👉🏻 memory keeping (like a movie I saw or fun activity)

But for most everything else, @notionhq organizes all my projects and plans and keeps my entire life running smoothly. 

I recently launched a new class called Notion Anatomy, which teaches you everything you need to know to get started AND we use your new skills to build a Meal Planning/Recipe Book!

Drop the word “CLASS” below and I’ll send you more info! ⤵️
