Motivation...Muesday - Colour Coding Priorities

Greetings humans!

When on a quick trip to Sainsbury's the other week, I found these three Frixion highlighters on sale for under £3 and bought them without really thinking about their use. However, I soon created a colour-coded priority system for my to-dos, since I have an awful habit of just copying tasks from day to day without really thinking or getting them done.

It's relatively simple: green means that a task has been copied once ("hello, you should probably do something about me"), yellow means that a task has been copied twice ("hello, you should really do something sooner rather than later"), and pink means that a task has been copied three times ("COME ON HANNAH GET ON WITH IT!").

e-mails galore!

I then get on with my tasks which have already been prioritised; I will complete the pink tasks first, then the yellow and so on. I've found that I don't need any more colours for this, and that I can complete most tasks within three days of putting them off delay. I've not been using it for very long, but so far, so good!

Motivation...Muesday? - Lists!

Greetings humans!

I do love to-do lists. However, recently I haven't been creating many because I don't actually have much that needs to be done at the moment; I'm currently floating in the lull between the end of exams and results day when I have no idea as to what's going on with the rest of my life. I'm beginning to create to-do lists for every day, no matter how superficial (with tasks such as 'make bed', or 'make cup of tea') so I at least feel productive, and so will not be out of the habit by the time I maybe get to uni.

A 'List Book' from Paperchase. How could I not? 

Motivation Monday - Goals

Greetings humans!

This weekend, I wrote a list of goals that I wish to accomplish over the course of the summer. I've split them into pre-results day and post-results day categories, so that there's a little more time pressure. 

Having this stuck up on the wall by the desk means that I constantly have in view what exactly it is that I'm working towards! 

The paper I used was a list pad from Wilkinson last year - I absolutely love it!

Motivation Monday - Blackboards & Roses

Greetings humans!

So, as promised, here is the first instalment of "Motivation Monday", brought to you by a £1.49 blackboard from Home Bargains. Yes, really.

Although I use my Filofax an awful lot, sometimes it's useful to have something showing you your schedule that you can't miss. On this blackboard (which, as lovely as it is, is definitely what I paid for and nothing more) I'm writing everything that's happening outside my bubble each week, thereby showing me quite clearly when I have absolutely nothing on. And when I have nothing on, there's no excuse to not get cracking on the ridiculously long reading list that I've set myself. Right?
