Beat Boredom the Fairy Way

π¦ π πΏ Hi! β How are you? Thank you to everyone for your support after I announced the big news last week! β Having a baby on the way is exciting, and a little daunting. I appreciate all the good vibes! β Today I want to share a new video + recommendations of things I am enjoying right now β New Video β You may know that I have a paper commonplace book that I use to help me stay motivated and FIRED UP to work on my long term goals. I love using digital tools daily to organize my thoughts but I also love paper notebooks, as well. β βRather than wax poetic here about commonplace books and paper journals (like I do in this podcast) and how much I love them and why they matter and what you can get out of them as a writer, entrepreneur or human being... I will just say that no matter how great and useful something is, it can still grow stale. β I got bored with my Commonbook and paper planner system recently, and wasn't using it much... so my solution was a refresh! β The answer for me this time is fairies: β I gave my notebook a Forest and Fairy themed visual refresher with DIY Decorations I made. β I highly recommend trying something like this if you need to get your eyes on a notebook, planner, or organizational tool and you just aren't drawn to it. β In my video, I show you how I used some simple craft supplies to bring new life to my planner and commonplace book. Maybe it will give you ideas for something you can decorate as well. β May you find new motivation with the power of decoration! β βDecorate with me by watching the new video hereβ β Things I am Enjoying: β
This is a new cozy game I have been playing this week. I run around this fantasy landscape gathering supplies so I can make and cook things. It's relaxing and I like the aesthetic. Also...It is free! 2. Book: The Notebook: A History of Thinking on Paperβ by Roland Allen Description: "We see notebooks everywhere we go. But where did these indispensable implements come from? How did they revolutionize our lives? And how can using a notebook help change the way you think? In this wide-ranging history, Roland Allen reveals how the notebook became our most dependable and versatile tool for creative thinking. He tells the notebook stories of Leonardo and Frida Kahlo, Isaac Newton and Marie Curie, and writers from Chaucer to Henry James; shows how Darwin developed his theory of evolution in tiny pocket books and Agatha Christie plotted a hundred murders in scrappy exercise books; and introduces a host of cooks, kings, sailors, fishermen, musicians, engineers, politicians, adventurers, and mathematicians, all of whom used their notebooks as a space to thinkβand in doing so, shaped the modern world." β β My brain really enjoyed all the facts and storytelling, including details about how famous thinkers, writers and people over history used paper as a way to develop their genius. β β 3. Activities:
β β Like I said last week, I have availability for editing clients and 1-1 writing coaching over the next several months. I expect to be on maternity leave sometime after November. Email me if you'd like to talk about your writing for your book or business and how I can help. β Thanks for reading β
