Darren and I decided to change the scenery a bit and sit outside for this weeks Darren & Dianne Discuss video.
We have had many long talks while sitting “together” at my little, red table on my balcony about everything you could imagine and our conversations always end up circling back around to our need to be creative and planning in some way or another. We both tend to switch from digital planning to paper planning, back and forth between the two and both at the same time.
Last week we both decided to set up our planners and check back in this week, so that’s exactly what we did and we share what we have done in this weeks video. Darren started a new set up in two different Midori Traveler’s notebooks and I started back in my bullet journal, but after seeing him setting up his Midori, I couldn’t resist and had to get mine out and decided to set up a planning system in mine as well.
During our talk, I would say the biggest thing that came out of our conversation for me was realizing that it is okay to switch planning systems. For some reason, I have always felt like once I have moved into a planner or started a new system, that that was it. Do or die. Make it work no matter what, even if what I’m doing is not working at all. That’s not the case though. I am seeing how where I am in life greatly affects how I am able to plan and it is totally fine for me to switch around to whatever system works best for me at that particular time in my life.
As far as my big announcement goes, I share a little bit about how came to be the new hostess of NaNoJouMo (National Nonstop Journaling Month) this coming November. I have a page started on my website that is devoted to NaNoJouMo and I will begin to start adding more information to it in the next few months. I am so excited that Dawn Sokol has given me the opportunity to reboot this project she created and hosted for years and I can’t wait to share with you all that I have planned for it!
Until next time…
Creative blessings to you!
