Monday Starter : 78

Here I am, stuck in my usual overthinking loop, scrutinising every word until it feels just right. Writing isn’t my strong suit. But I’m giving it a shot anyway. I have an overthinking habit that not only slows me down but turns simple tasks into complex ones.

I’m usually being good with time management but I can still feel overwhelmed by deadlines and tasks.

No matter how hard I try to prioritise and stay organised, there’s always a lot going on in my head that can leave me feeling stuck. I’m working on it.

My husband gifted me a planner from Creator’s Friend - specifically the Fast Brain Friend Productivity Planner. All 12 notebooks. One for each month. I’ve just started using it and I think it’s a game-changer. I’ll let you know how I go.

Speaking of challenges, I’m bringing back my Monday Starter blog series. It’s wild to think I’m already at number 78! Will I hit 100 by the end of 2025?

Forget wondering—I’ll make it happen.

It’s been forever since the last one—Monday Starter #77 was back in 2021!

I’m not sure if anyone’s tuning in, but that’s cool. This is my space, my personal journal, and it’s always been that way.

There are three big reasons why I’m pushing myself to keep this photo blog—which I call a “journal”, up and running:

  • I love taking photos and want a place to showcase them.
  • I’ve invested years into this website, probably close to a decade. It’s filled with posts and images, and letting go now would mean abandoning a huge part of my creative journey.
  • I need to maximise this platform by consistently writing and blogging.

Figuring out what’s really going on with these intriguing characters and what they’re all going through offers more questions than answers and can be frustrating to watch. But  you’re right there with them (painfully) discovering and trying to make sense of the mystery themselves.

A quote I’m pondering on: “There is no power for change greater than a community discovering what it cares about.” Margaret Wheatley
