Getting Organised for 2016
Can you believe it’s New Year’s Eve tomorrow? I really can’t get my head around the fact that it is nearly 2016! Today I wanted to get back into blogging, after a small break over Christmas, by talking about getting organised for the new year with the help of a brilliant diary and some colouring in:
I always have a lot going on in my life and I love lists and organisation, so for me a diary is a must. Stick To Stigu* is a fantastic planner which is perfect for getting yourself organised and back on track in 2016. The diary itself has plenty of space to note down appointments and work shifts and I find the layout of one week per page useful to give me an overview of what to expect each week. Personally, I love the columns for each day, so I can assign a column for different tasks including work, gym workouts, social events and blog posts.
I love the mindfulness focus of Stick To Stigu, which includes a monthly ‘focus’ and tasks to help you work on this. For example, January is of course all about ‘restoring’ and each week has a challenge or question to work towards this theme. You can write your response on the left hand page or use this space to write ‘to-do’ lists. If you aren’t as obsessed with diaries as I am, I think this is a great way to encourage you to actually make the most out of your diary and get inspired, organised and rested.
Another great way to get inspired and relaxed is of course colouring books, and I have finally jumped on the bandwagon. I was lucky enough to receive the Harry Potter Colouring Book for Christmas and just look at it!. Isn’t it brilliant? I’ve already whiled away a few hours colouring in Fawkes and it really does allow you to relax and take your mind off any worries. I am looking forward to making lots of use of this so I can relax in the evenings and focus on something other than the internet.
Interactive planners and books are so popular at the moment and I can see why – they provide a sense of relaxation, organisation and ‘time away’ from busy life. Do you have any for 2016?
