Sunday Lately, 107

January 15, 2017

Sunday Lately is a weekly link up brought to you by the Blogger Tribe. Link up and see what's been happening lately!

Sunday Lately is a weekly linkup hosted by the Blogger Tribe, which is fearlessly led by Katy (Wild and Wanderful) and myself. We e-hangout every Sunday, sharing a small glimpse into the past week of life in our own worlds. We’d love if you could join us!

This week’s themes: Thinking, Finding, Allowing, Insisting, Repeating.

Look, it’s Sunday and I’m actually writing and posting a Sunday Lately! (Joke’s on you, I’m scheduling this in advance. But hey, it’s Sunday and there’s something here. I count that as a victory.)

Thinking

My goodness, I am STILL thinking about my planner. Like what? I don’t need to be using all this time for it! But planners and notebooks make me happy. Why are you denying me my happy, single-focused-planner thoughts??

Finding

To that point, I’m still finding planners that I like. I know, I know! Katy, this one’s for you, because I found another something SHINY. I want to keep everything together in one notebook and the Arc book I made for blogging is nice but BIG and I want something purse-sized. And then it hit me. A travelers notebook. I can keep everything together, but I can have separate books for each client, blog, home to-dos, and so on, AND not worry about sectioning off a regular notebook.

Allowing

I am allowing myself to feel the things, acknowledge them, and then not let it be the main focus for the rest of my day. A few Thursdays ago, I got totally derailed by imposter feelings in the morning and it drove the car for the rest of the day. Like Elizabeth Gilbert says, “Your fear should always be allowed to have a voice, and a seat in the vehicle of your life. But whatever you do — don’t let your fear DRIVE.”

That is a surefire way to crash through a guardrail and sail into the ocean in flames.

Insisting

I absolutely HATE asking for help. I will not do it. I think it makes me look like I can’t do something for myself and I was not raised to sit around and let people do for me. I insist that I can do things and I don’t need anyone’s help. Well I cracked and asked my step-dad to help me move a couch while he and my mom were here this past week. It kinda isn’t perfect in the room and I need to rearrange (I know I’ve made that comment before) things a bit more, but for now, it’s much better than the 30+ year old loveseat I was using.

Repeating

Plan, plan, plan. Basically I’m just repeating all the planning prompts, aren’t I? I’ve been repeating a morning habit and I love it. I get up, I make coffee, I sit and journal. I’ve been on a hot streak of writing since January 2 and it’s a great way to ramp up for the day.

How do you get yourself started each day? And what have you been doing lately?

    I feel you on the Arc by Staples. I have 3-4 full-size of those that I use for work, DAR, other things, and then I used to use a Happy Planner because I really like the customization of discbound books. I highlight recommend checking out the new mini Happy Planner! It’s the perfect size for your purse. It does annoy me that they didn’t size it to be a half-letter size (meaning you can Frankenstein with Arc by Staples and Levenger stuff like I like to do) but it is still adorable and nice.

      Ooh I have the mini! I bought it because I wanted to use it to memory-keep and journal bits of what happened each day so I can look back on the year. Then I found the classic sized coloring one and bought that for the same purpose and I haven’t used either to document and I’m worried I’ll wait too long and forget. I do love the mini’s great purse size, but I wish it had a vertical layout with times (I’m not buying the daily paper though when I can make my own haha).

      Maybe someone will get together and arrange it so they all can play together nicely. Even the larger sizes of the Happy Planner aren’t the right dimensions to cobble together something with all of them.

      • Aubrey

        I have seen some downloads on Etsy for vertical mini Happy Planner layouts. That’s another alternative.

        I have found the Big Happy Planner is the best for a Frankenstein binder of multiple brands. My current work binder uses a Big Happy Planner cover, Arc by Staples discs, Martha Stewart at Staples tabs, and paper from Levenger. It all fits really well! Classic and Mini Happy Planner are just kind of awkward non-standard sizes… but I think that is their strategy to keep you buying stuff.

  • Katy McKinley

    I love you and your crazy planner ways.

    • Angelica @GardeningInHighHeels

      Hahaha at least you can count on me for that 😉

    Hah, I can’t lie, I’m still thinking about planners too :-/ I got another Day Designer for this year, but the style I had last year (with daily, weekly, AND monthly) doesn’t seem to exist anymore. So I’m a little disappointed. I have an ARC notebook too that I’ve been using for years, but only as a notebook. Why is it so hard to choose a planner!? I’ve also been obsessing over bullet journal layouts on Instagram… so…
