Vacation epihany

I've had the week off from work. I planned this as a 'get organized' staycation which was to include:

Setting up the garden.
Replanting and repotting old plants.
Changing out my closet.
Going to the eye doctor.

All fine plans, but usually when I have a week off, I end up creating a new direction or goal for myself. Since the 'grand experiment' has proven, as I suspected, to be a bust, and I've reached a place in my writing where I'm no longer enslaved by it, I need something else to do.

My epiphany came yesterday when I discovered 'life planners' and 'filofaxes'.

Now, I have NO DESIRE to plan every second of my life. That's for SAHMs, and I'm not one anymore. I don't need a bulleted list to tell me to take a shower and planning 7 days of dinners has never worked out for me. BUT, I decided that one of the sources of my free floating anxiety has always been that I was too busy focusing on writing to be organized. I have a basic system for things, but I'm usually flailing a bit and whenever I need something in a pinch, it usually involves running around, digging up the information I need. I really need to make my life easier and reduce some of my stress, so my next project is an overhaul of my system and a consolidation.

I'm not going to start carrying a 'life planner' around with me so I can record bowel movements or how many glasses of water I drink in a day, but really getting all important information in one place is starting to sound really attractive to me.

Hence my next BIG PROJECT shall be called: FILOFAX.

In the mean time - here's my next miniature project. The Modern Gray Bedroom is shaping up to be pretty cool:

 

This one will have completely hand made furniture and will probably be the first of a number of rooms I want to make in these little wooden crates I found at A.C. Moore.

Off to get organized!
