We’re getting ready to travel in the RV again, s We’re getting ready to travel in the RV again, so I’m ordering ALL THE THINGS from Amazon since it’s difficult to receive packages on the road!

I created this online order planner page to track when and where I bought an item along with the expected shipping date. I’ve had a few orders NOT get delivered before, so I’m meticulous about keeping records in my discbound planner.

This tracker is especially helpful during the holiday season when you order multiple gifts and forget what you’ve purchased. šŸ˜†

Ready and waiting for you in my Etsy shop. (Link in bio) 

Or if you’re a member of The @BrainbookLibrary, you’ll find this printable inside your membership portal!

THE COOLEST APP EVER… I’m not trying to be dr THE COOLEST APP EVER…

I’m not trying to be dramatic and all, but I don’t think I would have completed my capsule wardrobe were it not for @stylebookapp. Seeing all my closet pieces featured in multiple outfits really made everything come together!

Have you tried this app?

Don’t be afraid to make plans, BUT…. āš ļøHo Don’t be afraid to make plans, BUT….

āš ļøHold them loosely.āš ļø

If you’re a Type-A, Enneagram 1 like me, ā€œlooseā€ isn’t in your vocabulary. We are very methodical about what we do!

For instance, when I say I’m going to do something, I’m going to do whatever it takes to follow through, even to the detriment of my own health. (Which is what happened last year).

I still 100% believe in goal setting, planning, and dreaming for the future.

But I’m not going into this year as unrelenting and tight-fisted as last year.✊

Instead I’m saying,

ā€œThese are the things I want to accomplish, but I’m open and willing for them to change.ā€

I think that’s the **healthiest** place to be anyway. 

Feel free to steal this mantra if you need it too!

2023 WORD OF THE YEAR Every year, I choose one wo 2023 WORD OF THE YEAR

Every year, I choose one word to guide me during the next twelve months. 

After feeling scattered by all the things I’ve started but haven’t finished (from house projects to my capsule wardrobe to the Harry Potter series), I needed a word that pushed me to wrap up these loose ends before starting anything new.

And so, FINISH it is!

In my planner, I made a list of items to complete by the end of 2023. Seeing this list ON PAPER has already inspired me to make progress. Let’s hope I don’t get distracted by something shiny and new!

Did you choose your word of the year yet? I’d love to know!
