Happy April!
So, my happy project for March was to see what was working and to replicate that in other areas of my life.
How did I do?
Scheduling – this one worked a treat. I pre-scheduled friend dates, dates with D, etc. I also scheduled my weekly planning time and it’s been great.
Environment – I kept the phone in the bedroom most of the month BUT I was elsewhere so I almost didn’t care to even look at it. I read on a chair in my pyjama lounge and the phone is never with me so I’m not distracted.
However, I was very, very naughty this very last week of March in terms of sleep ….. on the bright side, my sleep average for March is a whopping 7 hrs 46 minutes. It’s not been that high for years and years (possibly, even pre-kids!)
Batching – this one is working well too. Monday is writing night and Wednesday is photo night 🙂
What about April?
This month, my goal is to see what’s not working for me and see how I can stop that, and make it better.
So which projects do I have in mind?
Personal email
I’m not sure what I’ve been doing but I can’t seem to get a handle on my personal email. It’s out of control. I need to go through all my notifications and newsletters to see where I can unsubscribe.
By the way, I recently sent out a newsletter. Did you get your copy? If you’re not on the list (you get 3 cool freebies!), you can sign up here.
 Blogs in my feedly
There are blogs I’m not that into anymore, those with only sponsored posts/ giveaways, and that’s not why I read blogs. I don’t mind a good sponsored post (CupofJo does these beautifully) but they are 1 in 10.
So I need to go on a big unsubscribe mission again.
This is not bad…. but since I have two accounts, there are some feeds I follow on both @marcia0608 and @organisingqueen, which is inefficient. And then Instagram advertising, because I’m sure there are some feeds that have appeared without my officially following them.
Can you see Kendra and Connor in the bokeh on the right? I took this photo on a photowalk with the kids.
So, tell me. What’s not working in your life?
Can you stop doing it?
How can you change things to make it a better, more pleasant situation for yourself?
I really need to stop procrastinating esp this month. My exams are next month and I have tons to study still. So if can only stop that it will be great.
Do you have a study timetable? Work some “play time” into it and then you won’t feel guilty about reading/ scrapping, etc.
Hi Marcia,
I fasted from Facebook for Lent so I’m now able to go back on but haven’t yet. What wasn’t working for me was how much time and energy Facebook consumed for very little payout. So before I log back on, I am trying to figure out how I want to manage it. Happy belated Easter to you! Laura
I’m so interested to hear more about this, Laura. Have you managed to figure out a good balance for Facebook? (I don’t have it on my phone personally)
