i’m going to start talking freelance on the blog.  it’s a completely different animal than corporate america and i’ve honestly never been happier.  even with the downsides of freelancing, it’s something i’m passionate about so it doesn’t feel like work.

one of the best gifts i got for christmas (i actually won this at our white elephant exchange!) was my day planner!  i’ve always been into pen + paper kinds of planners (vs. electronic ones) and i have found them extremely useful in making my life easier and more organized.  last week i was feeling super overwhelmed with everything i wanted to get done, that i barely got anything done.  i would sit at my computer all day going back and forth between several projects, but not making it very far on any single one and it was driving me crazy.  i like to feel like i accomplished something at the end of the day and it felt like i was getting nowhere.  enter: my planner.  game changer, people.  for this week, i wrote down what i wanted to work on for each day of the week and it helped out SO much!  i also have been using it to plan out each day’s blog post, work out, and what i’m going to cook for dinner.  so far, so good.   here’s to planners and trying my best to stay on top of things!  happy friday!
