Time management

Ideas from Katie --

+ Keep a calender

I already have a weekly calendar on my desk and I always write what I have going on so once I'm in Sydney or Melbourne and have a lot more to do with my time, like studying for example, I will already be organised. I will write due dates for assignments and when my classes are so I know what's coming each day. I am really looking forward to having a packed schedule.

+ Have a to-do notebook

I have just purchased one of these off Esty as you can see from my previous post and I think once I'm in Sydney or Melbourne this will be fantastic. I can set myself daily goals and tick them off [something I love doing on my weekly calendar] and I will definitely be making one for cleaning duties and bathroom habits like washing my face twice daily and brushing my teeth a lot more than I do. I want to be super organisational girl. I'll stick these on the fridge or on a table by the door I want to have so I can put my keys and bag on it once I'm home. It'll be great. Making it fun makes all the difference.

+ Shopping list

I think the cute new shopping list I bought will be fabulous. It'll also help with my plan to have one shopping day a week and one shopping list writing day a week like Danielle from Sometimes Sweet writes about. I don't want to keep going back to the supermarket too often, especially since I won't have a car, and it'll keep costs down. I would probably spend more going day by day. I also want to know what I'll be eating for dinner each week so I can cook more and become the one day housewife I believe I will be. I want to make the dinners for a change, even though I loved being cooked for by Yorick. I'm just too lazy and this habit must stop.

+ I'm moving

Just something cute. I want to send these change of address forms to my family and closes friends so they know where to find me. It'll be lovely! I'll probably send a photo of my new house with the card. It'll be so sweet.

+ Recipes

I need to organise a recipe book before I go. I have lots of ideas and am looking at a new one as I write for apple cider doughnuts courtesy of Danielle from Sometimes Sweet who got it from someone else I think. I want to make these! They sound and look delicious. So I need to find a cute recipe folder and I remember saving a link to an online recipe card maker. My mum has a folder and has lots of cut outs in it but there is no general theme. I might make mine pretty so I am more inclined to use them.

I think that's about it for now. I can't wait to have these in place once I move. It'll be fantastic. I am so very excited about it and anxious to start making plans but it all depends on my acceptance to Sydney and whether or not they want me. Only time will tell.

Actually, I want to be more organised with clothes. I want to have them all stored away nicely like this --

and not have any laying on the floor. I want to make my bed everyday and have things looking neat and tidy all the time. This will be a bit of a stretch but it's worth a try.

I want normal back

I haven't been feeling too well for the last few days. I think it is largely in part to my travelling up to Launceston and back for Uni but mum suggested it might be because of my diet. I have a horrible diet. Yorick and I have no money, I don't at least, and we never shop anymore. We did last week, a very rare occasion, but we haven't done a huge shop in ages. I eat badly. I have bad skin. I don't drink enough. I get headaches and a stuffy head a lot. Mum said tonight at dinner that on study breaks I should get out of the house and go for a 15 minute brisk walk. I might do that. I do stay indoors a bit too much. I watch too many TV series. I haven't been doing much homework. What I should do is do my homework outside in the fresh air. That means I'll get homework done and be in my lovely garden [its not mine really but I should enjoy it more] where I should spend more time. I just want to feel normal and motivated again. I might need to pick up another shift at work. I'm not earning much because I need the time to study, but I didn't do much study last week so that was a bit of a waste. Luckily I had the Sunday morning shift so I might see if I can pick that up again for this week. I had better get Centrelink. Otherwise I'll be even poorer than I am if that's possible. I'm barely getting by as it is. I need more money. I'm living week to week and am still needing more money than what I get. I hate this! I need to manage my time better. I need to study more, work more, and not laze about too much. I can do this. Arr.
