A Time for a New Plan

Hola! I know, I know, it’s been a while. I’ve wanted to write, really, but I haven’t sat down in front of my computer much. In fact, the last month has been a bit of a mess. I’ve had no plan. I got into Baylor (Did I even mention that yet? I can’t remember. See, [...]

Day-by-Day, Pin-by-Pin

20130129-200933.jpg

Raise your hand if you constantly pin things on Pinterest, yet rarely execute anything? I’m raising both hands. Well, that is until yesterday. Over the weekend I had this idea-I’m going to plan my whole day based on pins. So yesterday that is exactly what I did. And guess what? It’s fun and it makes [...]

A Time for S.M.A.R.T. Goals

Have you heard of S.M.A.R.T. goals? Back when I worked at Sony they used to talk about these in their corporate classes, but I’d never used them for personal goals…until now. SMART goals are a way to make sure your goals get accomplished and defined properly. Here’s the formula: Specific: Not just “lose weight” but [...]

Goals for 40 Days

A Time to Learn: TED Talks

Has anyone heard of TED Talks? I’d seen them written about before and heard about the big conference they have, but you can go online and get a new talk everyday. Basically they are talks on a HUGE range of topics brought to you by people from Google, Disney, Apple, etc. They are meant to [...]

A 15 Minute Day Planner

Weekly Challenge: 15 Minute Clean Up

So today begins the actual challenge of 15 min. cleaning up everyday. I’m curious to see how much extra gets done. Idid it yesterday and ended up sweeping and swiffering my kitchen and dining room floors, plus putting lots of dishes in the dishwasher. There’s something about the time limit that makes me move faster [...]

A Time for Organizing: Scrapbook Paper

Jan 14, 2012

I have a confession to make. I’ve recently discovered I’m a hoarder. Not a find-dead-cats-in-rooms-piled-high kind, but I am a paper hoarder. I am in the middle of re-organizing my room for some new projects, and my craft section needs to be redone. I’ll be documenting the whole thing for you all, and we’re going [...]

Happy New Year!

Happy 2012 everyone! I wanted to share with you my take on resolutions in the new year. I feel like people rush into their resolutions and that’s partly why they get broken so often. So here is my suggestion ( and also what I’m going to do), take today to write down all the different [...]
