In Part One of How I Get Things Done, I talk a little bit about my process and how I use my Daily Worksheet. Today, I'll be going over all the other pages that make up The Essential Planner, a flexible agenda I designed to accommodate my evolving task management system.

My art journal pages this week are a case of art imitating life, or life imitating art, or some such thing :)

I started out with the intention of filling the entire right page with text strips reading "Eat, Sleep, Create. Repeat," but then I had to make dinner. And then wash dishes. And then do all the other myriad things life requires of us all.
Β
In the end, I settled for a quarter of the page and a hurried scribble underneath: I wish.
I wish I had it in me to make all of my art journal pages epic. But I'll settle with just getting something down on paper because, surprisingly, I'm always happy with the results as long as I keep it real. Who knew?

Although this isn't my most prolific month, this is probably one of my favorite art journals so far.
I'm getting better at including more of myself on my pages. I'm usually pretty private, but it's getting easier for me.

Catching Up | Project Life Layouts + A New Video
Today, I'm catching up with you guys and showing you some things I've been working on lately, including a short video I made and a few Project Life layouts! If you're visiting me today from the Gossamer Blue blog hop, your next stop is Melanie Blackburn. And if you get lost along the way, you can always head back to the Gossamer Blue blog for a list of of all the links. Everyone's projects are pretty amazing!
So, the Project Life layouts you see below, were made using the Gossamer Blue October kits. They go fast every month, but a few of the kits are still available. I love how perfectly coordinated they are and it didn't take long to put these together.
In this layout, I added a 3x4 gridded page protector with spaces for 2" photos. I love breaking up grids by adding small embellishments and layering pretty patterned paper underneath. You can see the backside of this grid in the first photo above.
This monochromatic layout you see above was quite unintentional! It was a happy surprise though and to maintain the look, I layered the bottom left photo with patterned vellum to keep it from being too distracting. Then, I simply cut a window in the center to reveal part of the image underneath.
Lastly I want to share a short video I made just in time for Workspace Wednesday. This is Part Two of my planner walkthrough and I'm so excited to share it.
I actually planned to post it on Monday to coincide with the release of The Essential Planner in my shop, but, of course I ran into some technical difficulties! Sigh. My apologies and enjoy...
