Monthly Challenge Post


Can we just say I am a bit behind the times!  I just recently got my first smartphone, and am learning all the fun things you can do with these fun devices, both business wise AND personal!  The fun little games to keep you occupied, the money saving apps, reading apps, and time saving apps too!  Yet I am old school too you might say, where a good ole' pen and paper helps me just fine when it comes to keeping track of things that needs to get done!  Today's post - is all about getting things planned out for the upcoming events and things in your life!  
Now - as you look at this post, please do not think it is all about getting ready for the holiday's - it's not!  If you don't celebrate them, then great, your list will be a bit different than other people's will be (and less stressful when it comes to making things)!!!   Okay - grab your favorite items to organize yourself with - your smartphone, calendar, pen and pencil, notebook, sticky notes - and let's get started!  

  • Look at your calendar until the end of November - what type of events do you have in your life that needs your attention?  Do you have cards that need to be done, birthdays to purchase gifts for, any holiday or special events, family events, anniversaries, school events, etc. that needs to be addressed?
  • Next look at your calendar up until the end of January - using the same information as above, take a look at what you have going on!  If things are not set in stone, this is where a pencil and a sticky note comes in handy!
  • Now look at your calendar until the end of April - also using the same information as above!  Even if you do not have dates or specific information, at least get things on a calendar so you do not overbook things that need to get done with other important things!  
I am starting to get more and more done - in the time I need to get it done!  I already have 2 presents ready to go for things this year, and working on a few other special gifts for birthdays coming up!  Since I get people more gift certificates than anything, this year - they are getting them presented in a more "special" fashion!  I realize I only have so many weeks to get things done so I best get them done early!  I hope you join me in getting more done creatively!
