Hi Bella,
I am so glad you enjoyed the article. The board is still a work in progress as I need to get some glue to put it all together. It will most likely be organized by what catches my eye and what I want to attract. I haven’t considered color organizing but that sounds like a beautiful way to separate it. Wishing you all the best in 2024!

Actually is funny how you mention the vision board. Neither I’ve done that in years, and just last week I created a Dreamboard for this year. Do you separate it in sections with specific colors? I have 9 sections each with a different color. Also, don’t forget to activate the vision board with one thing from it 🙂 Happy New Year Becca!!

I’ve been terribly disorganized and frustrated at not getting everything done. I’m going to take inspiration from your post and spend some time getting organized setting goals. One of the book bloggers that I follow had a great tip for reading goals especially those days you don’t feel like reading, read your samples, choose a few shorter books, it worked for me I’ve read over 160 days in a row and read 62 books last year. I set a reading time goal of 5 minutes I know it’s short but I usually read much longer and on those days I can’t keep my eyes open regardless of how the rest of the day went I managed to reach one goal. Thank you for always being such a wonderful inspiration!

Time chunking is key! Also, find the time you are most productive/creative and focus on that each day. Before the kids wake up or before they go to bed. Make a ritual of your perfect environment to get stuff done. I am happy to share more details over tea. Miss you xo.

Thank you!

I get lost in cleaning the house and procrastinating with chores and kids before I get my work done. I find myself needing a perfect environment before I can start work and that often leaves me little time to actually get in the zone and do “the work.” Do you have any advice? I would love to see your paper planners. I am a creative too and now more than ever I am struggling with accomplishing my daily tasks that move me forward financially, spiritually, physically and emotionally done first.

Gorgeous photos of you btw!!!

By the end of the week you will be able to determine where you waste time and spend it more efficiently. Organize errands so you do them in an efficient order minimizing travel time. Read the newspaper while having breakfast. Etc. After spending four years in the Navy about 50 years ago, I entered law school and this is how I got back my study habits so I could spend 2+ hours of preparation for every hour of class without having to stay up late and becoming exhausted. I knew I initially I would be inefficient with time management and this is how I figured out how to add several hours per day of productive time while also building in some “me time” for sanity maintenance. Once you establish it as a habit, it is easy to maintain without doing a time chart—or at least for me. I do laundry while having breakfast — put in washer as soon as I get up; begin breakfast and after reading paper and having bowl of fruit, put clothes in drier, make toast, cook sausage or bacon, then cook eggs (fried or if I inadvertently break yoke, scramble), continue reading paper, wash dishes, time to take clothes from drier. I now plan each week in my head and organize errands to keep time expended at a minimum. When in Paris, the hotel where I normally stay has a close by laundromat which opens at 7. I usually get to the lavie about 7:30 with a go cup of coffee or tea and International NY Times which hotel has for me at the desk. Clothes washed, dried and folded into packing cubes by shortly after 9. Back into room and drop off. And on my way to have a petit dejeuner on my way to wherever I am going that day. Many museums do not open until 10 or later.

My favorite is in Jardin des Plantes. I could sit for hours and watch the little French kids go round and round.
