I hope you’ve had a wonderful and merry December thus far!
One of my favorite workday productivity tips is to listen to music while you work. Since many of us have been working from home this year due to the pandemic, I am sure things have started to feel monotonous and we could use a little holiday cheer right about now to perk ourselves up.
Since December 1st, I traded in my usual all-season lofi playlists for some Christmas and Winter themed beats instead and I’ve been loving listening to them this month. They have done a lot to keep me excited for the holiday’s even though I accept that things are going to be different this year.
Of course, I wanted to share them with you, so this post is going to be a roundup of my favorite 5 playlists within the Christmas, Holiday and Winter theme.
In today’s video I am sharing 5 Easy Planner Deco Hacks you can use in your planner with Tombow Markers. As my OG followers know, I am more of a functional planner, and I don’t do much pretty planning. I use very few stickers and never touch washi tape, but I do still like my planner spreads to get a little color and deco to help keep them interesting, to highlight any key information and to create hierarchy on my spread when necessary. So, I have a few functional decor tricks for using a marker in your planner.
Deco Hack #1:Add a header to your spread
Deco Hack #2:Add checkboxes or a checklist
Deco Hack #3:Create appointment boxes to highlight key events or tasks on your spread
Deco Hack #4:Create your own habit trackers
Deco Hack #5:Divide your spreads or create visual hierarchy
I hope these simple hacks help you create more organization in your planner. I would love to hear which hack is your favorite or one you would like to try in your own planner, so please leave me a comment below!
Tis the season to get gifting and this year I have put together three awesome new holiday gift guides to help inspire you to find that perfect something for the special ladies in your life.
I can’t tell you how helpful I find these sorts of holiday gift guides so I am so glad to be able to share my own with you.
So, the three gift guides are themed for three specific women | The Planner Addict, The Boss Lady & The High Vibe Babe!
Let’s start with The Planner Addict
This gift guide covers a few chic but essential elements that any planner lover is sure to lust after. Stylish planners, trendy highlighters and some elegant stationery. Don’t worry, I’ve done the leg work and provided you links to the items below!
Next, here are some great gift ideas for The Boss Lady
This gift guide covers modern yet feminine office necessities that the boss lady in your life is sure to enjoy. Chic desk accessories, a functional project planner and even a powerful hair styler to ensure she is always zoom call ready!
Finally, here are my gift suggestions for The High Vibe Babe
This gift guide covers some unique self-care favorites that any vibe conscious lady is sure to appreciate. Crystals, relaxation and meditation tools, and even a guided journal to help your loved one manifest their dreams.
I sincerely hope that these gift ideas help give you some great inspiration for how to spread your own holiday cheer this season.
There is no better feeling than when you receive a gift from someone you love that feels so you!
I am personally not a big fan of the money or gift card gifting that has become popular in the last few decades. For me, I prefer to take my time and find a gift that fits each person on my list. I know not everyone has that sort of time, so I hope these gift guides help you make quicker work of your holiday shopping.
Wishing you and yours a safe, happy and healthy holiday season!
I hope you have been doing well, staying safe and healthy at home as we hit a very delicate time of year for our health during the pandemic.
I know you have heard this so many times already, but it bears repeating that although we have limitations due to the pandemic, it doesn’t mean that December and this holiday season can’t be just as wonderful and merry as always. Things may look different, but the reason for the season is still the same for you if you embrace it.
So, in this month’s installment of my public Entrepreneurial journal entry, I thought I should share about some awesome live events I have scheduled for this month.
December is the time of year when I like to wrap up my projects for the year and do my goal setting for the upcoming year. This year, like years past, I am again hosting my Annual New Year’s Goal Setting + Planning Class, however, this year the class is going to be held exclusively for my Productivity + Planning Master Mind members on this upcoming Saturday, December 5th @ 2PM EDT.
So, if you want to join, get yourself enrolled in the membership- it costs just $22 a month and each month you get an exclusive private class, plus loads activities, inserts, extra content and a private chat with our master mind group as well as myself.
In year’s past the New Year’s Goal Setting Class has cost twice as much to attend, so your investment this year into the membership goes so much further for your productivity and personal development.
The second live event I am hosting this month is my 2021 Planner Setup Party on Saturday December 19th @ 2PM EDT. This event will be a live steam on Youtube FREE to my community where you will follow along as I set up my planner for 2021.Â
In this live stream I will share how I clean my leather planner, my process for printing and binding my inserts at home, and of course I will walk you through how I am setting my planner up for the new year.
I would love for you to join me for the livestream and set your planner up alongside me. It should be a fun and informative time and of course I’ll be taking Q+A live so it’s a great chance for us to hang out and get your planning questions answered by me.
I’ll be sending out emails for this event the morning of to those on my email list. If you would like to ensure you receive those emails and a direct link to the even, click here!
Well, that is everything I have going on for December!
Like you, I am just hoping to wrap up my year in a nice bow, get in some rest and relaxation and start the new year with a fresh slate.Â
I would love to hear about your plans for December and how you are preparing for the close of the year. Feel free to leave me a comment and let me know your plans. I do hope to see you inside my Productivity + Planning Master Mind to kick off a fresh year together in January!
