Focus.Focus.Focus

That's the theory, anyway.  Oh my goodness, there are soooo many interesting and fun things out there!  So many things to try and learn.  So many things to read and look at.  Not only do I need to be able to exist without sleeping (oh, but there is nothing like waking on a chilly morning snuggled in my bed), but I need to have the energy to do it all.  AND THE FOCUS!

With so many wonderful choices out there, it's impossible hard for me to focus in on anything.  And talk about being easily distracted!  I might miss something really cool and interesting!  But true focus is what is needed to really do anything.  (The interesting thing is that when I am working at my job I am able to focus very well!  So what's up with my personal life???)

As silly as it sounds, I'm thinking of trying another type of planner as maybe a fresh way to look at things.  I've been using one very well known brand for decades now.  I really do like it and it's served me well.  (I'm still a paper planner, although I'm kind of a mini-geek, too)  But it's not at all inspiring to me -- it's very utilitarian.  I've come across many "free" downloadable versions wonderful and creative people have developed and shared online.  So I thought I'd look at those and try a few versions to see if any fit.

My dad once said to see if anything works, try it for about six weeks.   Can I focus on something for that long?  The clock is ticking... But wait, it can't start until I choose which planner-type to use.  And there are soooo many choices.
