How I stay sane… most of the time.
.
It’s my little external brain. I don’t try to capture everything and make it a second brain because that would take too much time. Instead I let it store things for me as needed.
When I know I want to continue a thread of thought I put it here, this way I can easily find the information and continue my thought process.
I also use it to write things that I want to tell myself when I get overwhelmed, which is all the time.
I write my goals and dreams in here, I write my project ideas, I write my wish list in life in here.
.
Just this past weekend, I found a few inserts that I replaced from 5 years ago in 2019, and it made me so emotional because it had my old goals spread (broken up exactly like how we structured it in our common planner from some day goal all the way down to daily goal).
I had set up 3 sections, personal, career and family. 5 years later today, I hit both the Career and Family goals but didn’t hit the personal goal yet (which I am working on and making good progress so far)
.
To mark this special occasion, now I made a new section in my “brain” binder, the KEEPSAKE section to store these old goal inserts. So I can remind myself the following.
.
Dreams do come true if you desire it strongly. So write what it is you want down on paper, make a plan to that goal post, then work consistently on it everyday. It’s ok if you skip a day or two, but just keep coming back to it Rain Hail or Shine.
