I did too. Though my understanding of it now is sure better than it was then. 🙂 You’re most welcome.

Relative to the Bullet Journal: I had an unused lined journal (the type students use) in my supply box so I pulled it out and set up separate pages for different types of tasks. As I complete an item, I cross it out much as I would do if the tasks were on a sticky note.

The most important items are highlighted with a yellow marker.

I am not bothering with the BJ-style index page, page numbering, and artsy fartsy details. Instead, I have created a nice tidy single source journal where I record all of my pending tasks. This has reduced the clutter on my desk immensely.

An issue for many of us is that although we “clock out”, our mind is still consumed by work-related or chore-related to-dos. This is where a meditative hobby comes into play. For me it is coloring and learning to unleash my artistic inner self. I hope that your carving does that for you, MaAnna.

When I was in my 20s, I had a poster with the Serenity Prayer displayed on a wall as a reminder of how I wanted to go forward in life. Thank you for bringing back to the forefront.

I’m with you about the The Serenity Prayer, only I took the whole prayer and applied each stanza one at a time until I could do it as habit (about 3 weeks). Then I moved on to do the whole prayer. I’m including the whole thing so people can see the possibilities. It’s been sooo worth the work since we are living in more stressful world than when I first did it.

GOD, grant me the serenity
to accept the things
I cannot change,

Courage to change the
things I can, and the
wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardship as the
pathway to peace.

Taking, as He did, this
sinful world as it is,
not as I would have it.

Trusting that He will make
all things right if I
surrender to His Will;

That I may be reasonably happy
in this life, and supremely
happy with Him forever in
the next.

Amen
