Today I am attending a short webinar. I decided to go to the library and listen/view and then finish the electronic items on my to do list.

It’s always nice to bring a snack and something to keep you hydrated. Today the last of the Madeleines and some Roasted Dandelion Root tea are my treats.

The other things on the table are

  1. Notebook and pen for taking notes
  2. Passion planner
  3. Magazines from the exchange to look for Vision Board material
  4. Laptop and headphones
  5. Snack and hydration
  6. Beautiful snowy scene outside
  • After getting my electric to do’s done I will do my next week planning in my planner and spend some time looking for some Vision Board inspiration in the magazines from the magazine exchange.
  • Happy Thursday!

    2018 Goals

    cygnetorgLeave a comment

    I’ve always been a goal and list person.  Part of my business goals for this year is to finish some certificate work.  Today I’m back at the library working on my NAPO Workplace Productivity Certificate courses.

    My life works better with my Passion Planner, a small notebook (I remember things better when I write them down), and a pencil bag full of colored pens.  A snack and drink help too.

    I try to break up my time and change where I am listening/watching the coarse.  Also being in an area where I can stand up often helps me stay focused.

    My break is up.  Back to being productive!

    What I’m listening to in the car…..

    This week I’m listening to Brené  Brown’s Daring Greatly.

    What an amazing book.  Many with clutter issues have shame and blame and should’s about their situation.  The same goes for those with food allergies.  Letting go of the shame and blame helps put you on a path to healing and living a happier healthier life.

     

    What is blooming in the garden…..

    There are hues of purple everywhere.  I have Lilacs and vViolets and my Red Bud tree is an amazing iridescent pink.

    I’ve used lovage in tuna salad and am almost ready to plant this years crops.

     

    What is going on at Cygnet…..

    I truly enjoyed my first NAPO conference (retreat) a few weeks ago.  I am currently using most of my spare time to finish the course work to get the NAPO Certificates.

     

    What I’m cooking……

    One of my goals for this year is to become a better bread baker (gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free, soy-free, nightshade-free).  I made yeast rolls over the weekend and they were not too bad.  A little too dense to call a success but a great start.

     

    Productivity tip of the week…..

    Use the reminders on your phone!  I always put in things I don’t want to forget and have it pop up at least half an hour before I need to be at the event/need the item.  I’ve been known to set them weeks in advance.
