I’ve been using this layout for the last six weeks and it’s a keeper. I’m not splitting aspects of my life across different apps, excel sheets, or notebooks and that’s helping me stay on top of it all. Plus, stickers! Most apps don’t have them and I love them.

One thing I’ve learned about homeschooling classes and summer camps. Enrollment happens way sooner than you’d expect. I’ve snagged a few classes for my son and I’m glad that’s off my to-do list. Next step… find bargins on all the required textbooks and materials.

One of my resolutions for 2023 was to use journal daily. And so far I’m doing it! I’m using it to practice my doodles, jot down interesting quotes and thoughts, and include some memories. Most are too personal to share but I hope to highlight a few on my blog from time to time.

Stopped reading: Tress of the Emerald Sea by Brandon Sanderson ð. It pains me to say… but this is my least favorite book by Brandon. The first third of the book was fine, my opinion fell by the second third, and I couldn’t bring myself to finish the last few chapters. The strong narrator, yes I know who it is, pulled me out of the story rather than immersing me in it. I felt like the narrator was the focus and not Tress.

At work I’m tackling a huge software project and my normal approach isn’t cutting it. So over the holiday’s I read Shape Up: Stop Running in Circles and Ship Work that Matters. It really resonated with me in a way other books on the subject haven’t. I’m still stuck using Asana, since that’s what my compay uses, but I was able to recreate a portion of the shaping workflow in it. I’ve been using it almost a month now and I’m really digging it.

I signed up for an omg.lol account a couple of months back and I’m finally getting into the groove of using status updates. I don’t think I’ll sync them on micro.blog, I want them to stay ephemeral. But I did embed them at the top of my website.

Off to the orthopedic surgeon this morning. My daughter broke her hand in her gymnastics dance class. Hopefully just a cast and time is required for healing.

I got a Hobonichi Cousin journal for the new year and I’ve been been trying out different layouts to keep track of homeschooling, work, and my personal tasks. This is my favorite so far. Homeschooling log in the center and color coded.
