I enjoy the freedom of a blank page – Irving Welsh
I’m probably in the minority, but I love Mondays. I also like fresh notebooks, new calendars and empty purses, so you may be able to see where I’m coming from. I also used to love the first day of school. Monday’s have endless possibilities that you can just eat up. I actually start to think of my goals for the week on Sunday night, and I enjoy writing down the things I want to get done. But Mondays, especially Monday mornings, are fun because they have that air of possibility.
Each Monday, I like to make a list of the projects I want to work on that week – I put it in my little day planner. I used to use a Franklin Covey planner, but then when I started freelancing, I realized that your standard FC planner wouldn’t work. Using DIYPlanner.com, I hacked a little planner of my own. It has:
- Monthly page – for, duh, the month
- Weekly page – which lists, by project, the things I’m working on, and then also has a few open buckets for non-work stuff (family, crafting, things like that).
- Daily page – has my morning, afternoon and evening schedules.
But I digress. I have three crafty things I plan on doing this week. They are:
1) This sweater. I’ve just joined the sweater for the body, and I think it’ll be quick going from here. The yarn is from another sweater that I ripped out because it look horrible on me.
2) This scarf. I made one a few years ago for a family Christmas swap, and everyone loved it. I wrote out the pattern for a friend that is new to knitting and realized I needed to make one of my own!
3) Learning my wheel. I’ve made a decision to make an effort to really get to know my spinning wheel before I buy a new one. I’ll be writing about it as I move forward.
That’s it. Three simple things. Straightforward knitting, a little bit of learning, and a plan.
