Sticky Notes, Highlighters, And Planners, Oh My!

I’m not sure how to start, I might call a friend to see what they are doing or if they want to help

I lay everything out so I can see it and keep the end product in mind

Make a plan, make lists, buy supplies, do some research, set up a workspace, put on old clothes, start with task one on the list

I just start; I have such great ideas!

Why do I have to keep receipts?

What receipts? They might be crumpled in the cup holders of my car…

They are in a pile somewhere, I’ll end up keeping ones from significant events, if I ever sort them out

They get filed for various purposes: business, medical, in-case-I-have-to-return-it, etc…

It is clearly marked in a file folder, where it belongs, let me get it for you

I’m not sure, but I’ll help look!

I don’t keep track of that stuff, my significant other does

Why do they need it? I’m sure it’s where ever we keep them

I don’t know that I cleaned it out, but I put new stuff in the last time I shopped with my cousin!

What is the point of cleaning out my closet? If I know that, I might do it

It’s a tie between the last time I did laundry and the last time I bought new clothes, very recently

That would be a waste of my time!

I lost track of the event within my larger calendar or I didn’t think that the event was very important

I’m rarely late, but when I am it’s because I was finishing a task and couldn’t leave it partially done

I was so caught up having coffee with someone or chatting with a friend that I lost track of time

I was making this awesome new project, don’t you love it

Fine, as long as we have clearly separate zones and your stuff does not infringe on mine

Awesome! I love to spend time with people and chat all the time

Inspiring, but I think that my creative mess bothers others

Okay, as long as it helps me work

Figure out the important point and shoot for that, the details of how to get there don’t totally matter

I’m going to start on what I’m most excited about and work until I get bored or overwhelmed, wait, what else am I supposed to do

I’m not sure, it depends on what comes up and who I need to see

Lists, smaller lists, check marks; I made the lists before I went to bed the night before

I put them in the bathroom so other people could look at them if they wanted to

They are in the giant pile of mail on the counter, it’ll get addressed soon

If I have time, browse and then recycle, if not, recycle immediately

I put them in the bathroom so I can read them later for inspiration

Set goals, create overviews, or doodle while I zone out

Lots of lists!!!

Little reminders to myself, I stick them everywhere

To rotate ideas around on a calendar or brainstorm new ideas
