I stand by what I said before, new year's resolutions are bullshit. Why change every little thing you do when you can instead improve on what you already do?
For 2016 I want to focus on everything good I've been doing and to keep doing them. I want to remain organised, so I'm using three different types of planner.
Wall planner...
... with stickers!
Calendar
Planner
The wall planner is going to go behind my bedroom door. This is going to be for a "Don't break the chain" system. Basically, each day I do a task that I need to do daily (getting out of bed, stretching, that sort of thing) I put a little symbol to say which I've done. I'm going to use the stickers so that every six days of not breaking the chain, I get a sticker. This will get me 61 stickers if I keep going throughout the year.
The calendar is for events, things I need to plan for in advance. This includes my WI meetings and blog posts, Club:Book discussion days, and so on. Hopefully this means I can see all my due dates at a glance. Hopefully.
The planner I'm using to keep track of my moods, but also my MITs. MITs are the Most Important Tasks for each day. Every day has three MITs. It could be as small as getting out of bed, or as big as getting out of bed. Having three MITs a day means I have three tasks to do, and I can focus my efforts into completing them. I also want to keep track of my moods, record the ups and downs of my depression and anxiety, and all my EDS3 symptoms.
(Cheaper planner option - printables! I've not tried them, but they are cute!)
As well as staying organised, I want to crochet more, read more, write more, and generally do more of what makes me happy. I know this won't stop my depression, or cure my EDS3, but silver linings on grey clouds make the clouds pretty even when it is pouring down with rain.
See you next week!
