Drops Yarn has a huge discount sale for cotton yarns going on this month and so far I have been good and haven't bought anything. Not sure I will last though... ;-)Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04245498764155066221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2960215912402855534.post-3573089874501714732015-07-25T15:49:35.813+02:002015-07-25T15:49:35.813+02:00You are very right about that!

Fingers crossed.<br /><br />I'd love to have one planner for everything but as I am using an electronic one at work, I can't bring myself to write down all the appointments in two calendars. And for the one at work, I don't want to put my private stuff in it. Hm. I will look out for a small calendar to put into my handbag in 2016 :)Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04245498764155066221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2960215912402855534.post-59768712625192533082015-07-25T15:45:36.664+02:002015-07-25T15:45:36.664+02:00Good plan!

I also wanted to learn more knitting techniques, and I haven't been knitting since I don't know when, the same for Tunisia crochet, soo... yeah, I'm not really satisfied with my creative resolutions. Not at all. Hope the second half of the year will be better! : ) xxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05343980760701774125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2960215912402855534.post-33293619742591516152015-07-24T09:40:57.264+02:002015-07-24T09:40:57.264+02:00Just because you didn't stick with something d...Just because you didn't stick with something doesn't mean that you have failed, it just means that it wasn't the right thing for you to be doing.

We make resolutions concerning things which we find difficult and it's often hard to stick with them for that reason. Like Geraldine, I don't make them any more, but I do have things I'm working on (like fitness). As for organisation, I keep a little personal diary as well as a larger family one, and only make to-do lists when too many things start to buzz around in my head! Hope you have a good weekend :)<br />Cathy x The House with the Blue Doorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14427149486706803890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2960215912402855534.post-4700250611985109592015-07-23T20:01:55.711+02:002015-07-23T20:01:55.711+02:00I have no list of resolutions or to-do list becaus...I have no list of resolutions or to-do list because I think it's a good way to feel disappointed. Of course we can't do all the listed things ... so I prefer living in a more spontaneous way ... Good luck with all of yours !

Some things (like the Dawanda T&C) take longer or are more complicated than anticipated. I think you should try again with a daily planner - maybe you haven't found the right one to suit your personality and way of working yet. There are lots of different types and systems.<br />I have two diaries. A big month spread that lives on my desk and everything goes in there in a basic form. I have an A5 day-to-a-page diary for daily planning and entering more detailed information. The page is organised into half hour segments for entering appointments and planning my time.<br />I usually look in the big diary for a general outlook and I plan my next day in the small diary the night before. I am not bright in the mornings so the small diary is a good reminder of how I planned my day, what I have to do, where to go and when and what to take with me, It's all about getting into habits.<br />Just like your fitness. Replace bad habits with good ones. :-) Good luck Anne! I am sure you will succeed because you are taking the time to think about your goals and evaluate your progress.Jodiebodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11377052537742885631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2960215912402855534.post-48416898547431208552015-07-23T10:01:15.107+02:002015-07-23T10:01:15.107+02:00I don't make resolutions at the new year so I ...I don't make resolutions at the new year so I don't have any problem with not keeping them.Gillianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13234219836891799676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2960215912402855534.post-17445095276902959652015-07-22T23:42:29.987+02:002015-07-22T23:42:29.987+02:00I had a lot of good intentions and sadly ---- I...I had a lot of good intentions and sadly ---- I'm still working on them. <br /><br />I don't use a daily planner, but I do put appointments into my phone's calendar AND I have a to do app for those chores that aren't a regular chore OR something I want to make sure gets done at a certain time.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2960215912402855534.post-90487367076700705502015-07-22T21:51:24.559+02:002015-07-22T21:51:24.559+02:00Wow!

I tend to have good intentions, especially in the being organised, tidying area of my life but I am afraid that creativity tends to get in the way :-) They say creative people are disorganized, seems like a good excuse to me!
