Hi everyone!  Note: To keep posts short, I’ve made a Trello board with my goals for the year and beyond. Feel free to check it out if you want to know more about the bigger plan. My word for the week is DRAINED. I don’t know whether it’s just mental exhaustion or if my health should concern me (it does, incidentally, but there’s not more I can do until I see some doctors), but I’ve been finding it hard to have energy lately. I usually just manage to get things done when it’s necessary, but I feel hazy about it. Like I’ve lost my drive. I hope this doesn’t last…

Hi everyone!  Note: To keep posts short, I’ve made a Trello board with my goals for the year and beyond. Feel free to check it out if you want to know more about the bigger plan. My word for the week is RECOVERY. Something happened and threw me off balance but I was able to bounce back in a couple of days and I’m dealing as well as I could IMHO, while still enjoying happy moments with my kids. I do feel exhausted and my health has been a bit of a worry, but there’s not much more I can do to improve things, so at least I’m glad I…

Hi everyone!  Note: To keep posts short, I’ve made a Trello board with my goals for the year and beyond. Feel free to check it out if you want to know more about the bigger plan. My word for the week is FROZEN. Just like the temperature, my motivation went down. And after slightly hurting my back, any effort at sorting and decluttering was simply stopped in its track. But the weather is milder now, so I suppose tidying the storage room will be less daunting. ^^; Other than that, the week was also slower because of the snow. The girls didn’t have school starting Wednesday, and some of my…

Hi everyone!  Note: To keep posts short, I’ve made a Trello board with my goals for the year and beyond. Feel free to check it out if you want to know more about the bigger plan. My word for the week is READJUSTING. To work first. I’m having a hard time feeling that I’m back to work. For some reason, my mind remains on holiday mode, so I get the job done but my heart’s not in it sometimes. Probably because what I really want to be doing is sorting and decluttering, which I do, but not as much as I want since I need to spend time in the…

Hi everyone and Happy New Year!  Note: To keep posts short, I’ve made a Trello board with my goals for the year and beyond. Feel free to check it out if you want to know more about the bigger plan. My word for the week is REFOCUS. Interestingly enough, that happened during a relaxing break. Since planning helps me relax, I took some time to take a step back and look at my goals (and also why they were too much last year). So I’ll be less ambitious this time, while leaving room for adding things of course, as new goals have a way of popping up (like the doll…

Hi everyone!  Note: To keep posts short, I’ve made a Trello board with my goals for the year. Feel free to check it out if you want to know more about the bigger plan. My word for the round is ABSENT. I haven’t checked in even once, so that about sums it up.  I did work on some goals, mainly my studies as the term was pretty busy. I also spent a lot of time on myself and my family, so somehow other goals seemed trivial. I realize the grieving process is not over but I’m starting to feel more like myself again. There were other things that I needed…

Hi everyone!  Note: To keep posts short, I’ve made a Trello board with my goals for the year. Feel free to check it out if you want to know more about the bigger plan. My word for the week is REFOCUS. Starting with my studies since I had a couple of essays due today and tomorrow.  I’m still family-oriented above all, but I can finally manage a little more than taking care of my loved ones, so passing the semester and doing my job properly are what comes next, as usual.  As a result, I don’t really see much room for writing for now, but I did think of a…

Hi everyone!  Note: To keep posts short, I’ve made a Trello board with my goals for the year. Feel free to check it out if you want to know more about the bigger plan. My word for the week (and the Round actually) is LATE. I haven’t posted in a while due to loss and grief, which made me refocus on my family. Goals became quite secondary and still are. So I just do whatever I feel like doing, without any set objective or deadline. Any progress is good anyway, right? And to be honest, I’m just glad I managed to get a few PASSES under the circumstances. Thankfully, the…

Hi everyone!  Note: To keep posts short, I’ve made a Trello board with my goals for the year. Feel free to check it out if you want to know more about the bigger plan. My word for the week is LATE. I’ve missed 2 check-ins and the redirect issues I have with the site are not helping. I’m also late on my goals, but that’s OK. I’ve realized it’s because I’m spending more time on what really matters and I don’t need to keep myself busy as much as I used to. So I’ll drop a few goals that are just not happening, and adjust others. That’s definitely not how…

Hi everyone!  Note: To keep posts short, I’ve made a Trello board with my goals for the year. Feel free to check it out if you want to know more about the bigger plan. My word for the week is SLOW. I had less students this week and the girls were sick again on Monday, so it just made sense to take things slow. Then yesterday the girls went off with their dad on a first holiday, so the house has been quiet. July Goals Studies: aiming at 25% Review program 5% Writing: aiming at 35% CS Cycle 2.2 28% Translating: aiming at 100% Sleep Story: Nyx & Hypnos 20%…
