Getting my S%@t Together
I’m over it. I’m over the whole drowning feeling that’s been dragging me down lately and I’m ready to get my life back under control.
I was always the one who remembered silly dates, I would remember the most tiny details about things from the shoes someone was wearing when I saw them to a little one liner they may have said. I was great at remembering and I used that to my advantage. I was always well prepped for events, for meet ups, for work and so much more. I generally had life under control and those around me knew that if they couldn’t remember something, then I would and I would have the answer but not now. Now my memory is all over the place and that’s quite frightening, I feel like I’m loosing myself in my head. Like I said in my last post about this, I just can’t remember things like I used to so I need to write everything down, no matter what it is otherwise, I’ll forget.
This may not be the case anymore though! On the day I posted about being disorganised and needed to get my life structure back. When I saw BusyB, I knew I had to get some items! Their prices were great, their products looked so good so naturally I just had to get some of my own. When I’ve been looking in the past the diaries never seem to fit my needs, I need something that will help me plan everything meticulously so I don’t get confused and maybe get some of my head space back. When I seen the page days in Charlotte’s post I knew it was perfect, just what I needed to keep my busy family life afloat. I’ve seen some diaries that I like but they haven’t fitted my needs or they cost a small fortune, not exactly what I’m looking for being a mum on a budget.
I’ve got to admit, since receiving my order I’ve not put these diaries down, they have been my best friend and I’m so glad I got some stickers as well because it’s made the planning and organising process so much easier. I feel a little more relaxed at night knowing I’ve got everything down on paper, I’m not trying to remember everything from the day, did I get invited somewhere? When’s the next birthday party? Do I have to pick anything up tomorrow? These are all questions I can now ask myself, answer in the appropriate places and be done with it. It feels great!
I know exactly how you feel. I’ve heard it referred to as ‘mental load’ where your brain is so overloaded with information and things to remember, it just dumps all of it! My diary was my little lifesaver too, and its also from BusyB!

I think we get to a point where we have just too much going on – we can't be expected to keep it all in our brain! I have seen these before- the designs stood out to me! I always buy diaries though and then stop using it after a little while. I'm not someone that can utilise the equivalent features on my phone – like using the calendar, setting reminders and stuff. I always have to write down if I need to remember it. Anyways, hope you start feeling better and gain a bit of clarity 🙂

I can relate to this so much! Recently, school has been absolutely burying me, and I hadn't made time to do anything for myself and was behind on being organised. I finally went out with a friend last Friday, enjoyed an afternoon of catch up chats, starbucks, and shopping. It was a breath of fresh air and was just what I needed. Seems it helped me get my mind off of my troubles for a bit, and I am feeling refreshed & was so much more on top of it this week!
Absolutely lovely blog post! Everything can get so overwhelming that sometimes the only option is to write it down. Plus, the stationary is very cute B X
