Intentions for the Week

Looking to get your head in the game? Tracy from Shutterbean makes a weekly TO DO LIST called her Intentions for the Week. Here's what this week looks like:

Intentions for the Week- Week 44

Here’s what Week 44 looked like last year.

Hello Friends!

It’s been a week and it’s only Wednesday! I’m sorry for the delay in posting. We spent Saturday night to Tuesday night we no power & crappy cell reception at my house. Didn’t have charge on my laptop or wifi but I did have my imagination and positive thoughts to get me through some pretty dark times so YAY.  It kinda felt like camping— but at home.  My Intentions for the Week have shifted quite a bit with this interuption.  I’m trying to roll with it!

School was closed for two days so we spent time at home making art and prepping for the dark evenings.

No power means IMAGINATION ACTIVATION. Here’s what we worked on yesterday…..a little tale about my kombucha obsession. (There’s a tutorial on my blog!)✨🖊

And instead of typing up my list here on Sunday night like I do every week, I made a video of how I set up my moleskine calendar for the week.

I usually write in it while I’m typing up these Intentions for the Week lists.

I focused on what I could control during the power outage- MY OWN THOUGHTS.

So here I am, a few days late with a completely different TO DO list than I would have typed up a few days ago. I have a lot of clean up to do. We have a lot of food in our fridge that went bad so I am going to set out a big block of time to clean out our fridge/freezers and start FRESH. Here are my Intentions for the Week!

    Dear Tracy,
    that time lapse of you writing your intentions in your bullet journal is wonderful! It made me think about how the writing process shows the thinking process. I would love to see other people’s writing in progress – how we are different or alike in writing our lists and plans… That would be so interesting to see.

    All the best to you and those around you. Be safe!

  • Kristen Solecki

    Thinking of you and your family!

    Something that might spark creativity while you have no power:
    Have you read Lynda Barry’s books? I am finishing “Syllabus.” They are truly incredible and seem they would be up your alley:)

    This was one of the longest weeks ever. We kept power but left town to get away from the fire. Everyone is so stressed from the potential loss of power, losing power for multiple days, evacuations… it’s nuts. I’m right there with you in “try not to freak out”.
