Created my own planner

Adri got a planner from her brother for her bday that I was kinda drooling over,but being the cheap person I am...I created my own with just notebook paper. I have a page for scheduling 7am to 11pm. A duplicate of that page for what I actually do. I have a page for the goals I wrote about in previous blog and 1 page of journal. Since it's notebook papper....I can expand it all I want. We shall see if this helps. I still have a calendar planner that let's me write in events that I need to remember.

Thinking about focus

So today I was thinking about all the things I want to work on in 2017:
1. Mastering all things Tunisian crochet. Goal: one project a week.

2. Korean... as high a level as I  can learn.  Goal: 10 episodes of hanguli and yahoo a week

3. Taekwondo...Goal: class at least 3 times a week

4. Healthy weight loss and fitness. Same as 3

5. Master wheat free baking/cooking. Goal: Organize a class with zack and do a recipe a week.

6. Reorganize homeschooling
Goal: Formalize a plan and keep a diary.

7. Downsize stuff by half.
Goal: Go through and empty at least 5 bins a week.

I am wondering if I have too many focuses lol. But reality is, I need to work on all of them. I know that focus is the key because 16 hrs a day gives 96 hrs a week with one day off.  I know that I won't work all those hrs but if I worked 70hrs....10 hrs a week per item... I could make significant progress in 6 months. The problem is focus. Making sure I put 10 hrs a week on each. Taekwondo is 3 hrs in class so that would mean an additional 7 hrs out of class....I don't think I need more than an hr a day.... so drop that to 6 hrs a week. Number 4 is actually a combo of 3 and 5. It is also part of homechooling. So doesn't need a separate 10 hrs.  So I need to set goals for each and clock somehow the time I put towards the goals.
Now ..... just do it.

Made a second crochet hook

Adrienne requested a hook and yarn to make a bigger blanket....so I made another hook

Can't sleep

My brain won't shut off from creating. I have to figure out how to deal with the energy spike at the wrong time of day

Restarting a daily blog

I challenge myself to blog my thoughts and ideas here daily

Knew I forgot something

I wanted to blog every day...really....then life was tremendously busy...and yep... forgot. So instead of counting.... I am going to attempt to schedule a time to blog. Not that anyone e actually reads it and missed me cause I didn't blog. But as an accomplishment for me.

This will be a daily blog with a thought a day.

Today we watched Mom's night out. I loved  the movie and it was way too accurate at times.  My thought of the day:

My family and I are both worth the time I spend with them.


The catch phrase "redeem the time" has too often been used to rob mothers of their self worth.  The time I spend with my kids may not have worth according to today's society, but in reality, the time is worth more than any other job you could be doing.
