These journals hold lots of mistakes, many incomplete pages or trackers, some skipped pages and lots of private scribbles. I know it’s hard, but truly, if you can let go of perfectionism, having one (or 3!) complete journals is SO fun to look back on at the end of the year. In a tough year journaling was such a highlight 🌈 10/10 recommend 👌🏻

2024 is the year I break the mindless shopping and decluttering cycle 🔄 I'm great at decluttering- not so great at limiting what comes into our house 🫣 I haven't always been this way, but with the combination of the rise of online shopping and being home with the kids and looking for a little dopamine hit, it has gotten a little out of hand. Not to mention social media and being "influenced", even if it's just something that I "need". I'm at the point where I'm just really really tired of dealing with STUFF (Even if it IS stuff I "like" or "need") and I know that the reality is something that I purchase this year could very well end up having to be decluttered next year. It's time to slow wayyyy down and be extremely intentional with what I buy. Here's what I did this month, that worked very well for me: Every time I was on my phone and saw something that I otherwise would have normally purchased, I screenshotted it and added it to a "wishlist" album. Then, about once a week, if I was still interested in the items, I printed them off and put them in my journal and then did a little writing, reflecting about if it was something I really needed. As a result I ended up only purchasing ONE item which is such an improvement from my past shopping habits 🙌 I think in this world of "buy now", the act of slowing down and doing this process was really helpful for me. It made me pause and really consider each purchase. It's also a good way to get these items out of my head, knowing I can come back to them in the future if I want or need to. #intentionalliving #journalideas #journalprompts #debtfreejourney #savingmoney #intentionalconsumption

Replying to @echussey so long story short- I put “nicer” spreads and collections in one notebook, and more casual stuff in another- but its a mismatch of topics except for the few seperate ones that I shared at the end. I hope that makes sense! 🙃 #journaling #journalideas #notebookideas #planning #plannerlineup #2024planner #organization
