I wrote this post two years ago a month before my husband and I moved into our home and two months before we married. It still applies directly to the issues of inspiration. Particularly the inspiration to revise your life at will. I continue to surf the wave of change that is sweeping through my life. Status Report: My daughter and I (and the goldfish and the guinea pig) have moved into our temporary home with my fiancé, my mother has moved into her new apartment (and is STILL waiting for her cable hook-up – AAAARGH!), my dog has moved into her temporary home with a friend of mine, we had the house inspection last Thursday and we are waiting for the seller’s response to our requests, my belongings are stored away in a truck that is parked in a secured area in some unknown location, my fiancé and I are learning how to co-habitate (practice makes perfect) and all of us are negotiating these new territories on a moment by moment basis
I promised I would share the goodies I found on my DIY Artsy-fartsy Planner Page Hunt. I wanted unique, attractive, useful, adaptable, fun, whimsical and colorful pages for my great big I-can’t-believe-I-carry-this-around-with-me-every-day binder. And I found some beautiful stuff: Eye candy for geeky artsy planners: There’s a group on Flickr with 370 members who have posted over 580 photos of their home-made, hacked, doodled-on, re-tooled, planners: Flickr:Do It Yourself Planners
I’ve added a new category to the blog. It’s called “Lifestreaming”. Lifestraming is a methodology for Life Design as developed, inspired and created by Jessica Mullen. I was introduced to Jessica yesterday in that inter-web-you-don’t-know-me-but-I-am-following-you-online kind of way when I was surfing around looking for artsy-fartsy printable planner pages. (I was suddenly struck by the urgent need to re-invent my life management system. And I promise to post about all the amazing things I found in the very near future because I think you will absolutely eat it up.) The thing that turns me on about day planners and life management systems is that they are representations of our thoughts about who we are and who we want to be and the systems and philosophies (spiritual and/or secular) that we develop in order to realize our dreams. It’s about producitivity in the sense that we are producing ourselves. Which is vital to the macro: creating your life piece of why The Performance Lab exists
I am a sucker for planners, productivity programs and task management tools. Not an expert – a sucker. Someday I hope to qualify as a semi-pro. There are many wonderful systems and tools available to choose from along with endless blogs and blog entries dedicated to improving personal productivity. I’m going to give you a run-down of my favorites and their pros and cons and then introduce you to a concept that I’ve been playing with which applies Theatrical Perspectives to Life Planning and Productivity. First let me explain a bit about why I came up with the Theatrical Perspectives and how planning from multiple yet cohesive and collaborative perspectives may be helpful for you too
