Plans for a new month.

Aug. set up and plans are in my head and on my mind. It is hot here and not as much fun to get outside to draw and or sketch. I slept in today an missed the morning cool walk. Did some decluttering and counted going up and down the stairs as I sorted things from two dressers. One is completely empty so I can paint it next mo. or in Sept. The other dresser I weeded out some items and got half of the drawers cleaned out.

I was over town at the time JoAnn's was open doing an errand so went in with the dog the dog picked out a toy while she was there. I found a glittery pink planner I have had my eye on clearance. Sort of sad because I was like two days late to use a coupon that came on my  new phone.  Oh well I was happy to find some things I love the med. glitter discs for happy planner notes the leopard spot design on the cover. 

My daily pages journal is full, I am using my notebook 5 x 7 binder, and the classic size line journal
for bujo and doing full sentences instead of lists I dis - like this but the handwriting practice is needed.
Having my plans from various happy planners in one is not my favorite but I am sticking with it.
I am pretty sure they will go back to the previous way. I had one I was inking and drawing in and that got overlooked this month. I miss doing that each week.

One thing that has surprised me is the budget stuff in a spiral notebook like kids use for school is actually working for me.

I did find replacements for my daily pages journals they were out earlier in the month. School supplies are back in stock. I found pens also.  I am still looking for a TN style cover for my fav. size of journal lined or dot pages.

I am a total fail at doing any planning on a phone or digital device, I have been doing without my phone reminders for Rx.

My granddaughter's phone is like mine but hers talks back to her mine just gives me websites so I need to tweak more settings. But that had to wait as I had to do the chromebook tech. stuff.

I am getting a routine of sorts back this summer, but ... you know stuff happens and it is not set in stone and remaining flexible is a good thing.

I need to remember to get a pen case now while school supplies are out, I like the ones with a zipper that kids use, I use one for pens and another for meds so I need to get two of them one of mine the zipper died and had to use a different makeup one because they were out of stock.

One thing that was the most successful for me recently was my What Have I Been Putting Off List. I worked on that and felt very successful getting some of that done. Other things come up but I did about half of those things it was a relief to tackle some of those things yea me!

Making a list of shows I'd seen made me realize I could use my time better especially in the mornings!
