Blessings Darlings!
It's that season again, time to buy next year's calendars and organizers and all that. I've not yet found one that will do the work of organizing my life for me, and as I've noted before - I'm where organization goes to die. Nevertheless, I keep trying to become more organized.
Therefore, today was the day I went out looking for a calendar to use to try to organize myself for this coming year. And I found the perfect one for me. It might not do the work, it might not be perfect, but it's ... me.
It helps handle the daily swearing for me.
It's the Carpe Fucking Diem 2020 planner. You can look at your whole month, you can organize your weeks, it has room for monthly goals, each month has a different color, and it shares my bad attitude.
Maybe this will the The One. Maybe not. It's a fucking journey of discovery.
Frondly, Fern

Where Order Goes to Die
Blessings, Darlings!
I am ... disorganized ... to put it mildly. Okay, I'm Chaos personified. My house is where Order goes to die. Adding that to my chronic level of depression, this means that a lot of stuff falls thru' the cracks. And even more stuff FEELS as if it has fallen thru' the cracks.
So, again, I'm trying to change that. So, again, I have bought a weekly planner (the least expensive one that the store had.) I had the two OTHER notebooks I've been trying to use with me at the store, so I sipped coffee and moved stuff to the One Book To Rule Them.
To my total surprise, I found that while I've not been reaching all my goals, and CERTAINLY not getting as much done each day as I'd like to - I WAS doing at least something on almost all of my goals each day. Didn't write down the good sales from each grocer? No, but I looked at the ads and made mental notes. Didn't write down a week of meals? No, but I did plan 4 days of meals. Didn't have a full shopping list made? No, but it was mostly done. Didn't go all the exercising I planned to each day? No, but I got SOME in ... and found the weights I want to work with as well, and put a temporary fix in on the exercise bike. Didn't get done all the non-JOB stuff I wanted, but I got to the JOB every day and even on the day I was sick I made sure that the co-worker I usually drive in got to work (I had to ask the Spawn to drive the co-worker in that day.)
I still can't find my desk under all the papers and such on it, but MAYBE I'm getting a bit more organized that I had been, and didn't notice it.
Oh - beware of crunches just after a cup of coffee. On that path lies danger and acid reflux.
