Sheets & Systems with Beth

Are you more likely to use a digital checklist on your phone or laptop?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Part of why I started creating and using digital checklists was because I had them with me anywhere that I had a device. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Anybody else the queen of loosing a paper checklist or to do list? No?? Just me? :/ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

TIME TO FLIP THAT CLOSET. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Don't have the time to organize your closet right now but want to make it easier when you do? I've got a super simple system for you. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Every year in December and June I flip all of the hangers in my closet around. If I wear something, when it gets put back in the closet the hanger goes in the correct way. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When the next time to flip the hanger around comes I know that it's been 6 months and I haven't worn that item. So it is time to donate or sell it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Obviously, this isn't a hard and fast rule, there are exceptions. But it does give me a concrete date AND visual of exactly what I have worn. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you flip your hangers?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

🌈 Rainbow checklists that are digital AND printer friendly? 🌈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Whether you need to keep track of what schools supplies Johnny brought in or what virtual assignments Sarah has actually completed a system will help keep you organized. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The system I recommend? Digital checklists. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But if you're more of a paper person I've got you too! All of my digital checklists are formatted so that you can print them out as well. Most of them actually include a black and white option in case you don't have color ink. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What is the checklist that you use every single day?? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I'm curious, are you working from home or still in person?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'd love to hear what you do for work and how you're currently working in the comments.

It's January. For m,any of us that means another round of Meet the Teacher. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Whether you're virtual or in person these Google Site helpers are perfect. They are designed for your google site with video instructions on how to use them. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But they're also designed to be printed as well! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Beautiful Eucalyptus theme with calming colors - it's one of my favorite themes I've made. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Building a journaling habit when you don't like to write or have little time can seem daunting.

If you struggle with anxiety or depression one tool I have found for myself is journaling. Time and memory can be a funny thing when you can't trust your brain.

Journaling has given me specific dates, emotions, etc. to look back on. It gives me proof of things I was struggling with and how hard they were at the time. It gives me proof that I made it through. It gives me factual dates of when things happened and how long they took. It reminds me of all the things I cried out about and asked Jesus to take that He did that I tend to forget about.

The key to my journaling habit? Especially when I was in the deep dark this past spring and had no motivation to do anything? Keep it short and zero pressure.

Check out the pictures for 3 ways I built my journaling habit. If you want to read more about how I used journaling to battle my anxiety check out the blog post. Link is in the comments!

How do you feel about journaling? I'd love to hear in the comments below?

I have officially been in Charlotte 5 months. 🌟

I think I’ve tried more things and taken more risks in the last 5 months than I have the last 5 years.

This isn’t some I risked it all and then life was perfect post either.

This s**t has been hard. And I still don’t know what I’m doing or where life is going.

But what I do know:
-I’m healing.
-I love my house family. I never thought I’d enjoy having roommates after living alone for so long. But Jesus sent me the best people to live with for this season.
-I’m trying things I never saw in my future and I can’t wait to see how they help me grow.
-I’m the best me I’ve been in a long time.
-I am deeply blessed. From the sell of my house to my current housing situation to my new job. None of it looks like what the 🌎 says is “the dream”. But I have been given time, support, and space to heal, rest, start over, and find my identity in Christ alone. Not in owning a house, or getting married, or being a bad teacher, or any of the other things I was so proud of. And I know that not everyone has the money, support, or time to do that in their life.

I’m grateful for my people who carried me through 2021. I’m grateful for this season that is hard but rewarding.

But mostly I’m grateful for the adventure that I never picked. and that gratefulness is something that is very recent.
