The Now: January 1, 2025

I debated writing this post today. It is a holiday after all and I do like to take a break on holidays. But, then I thought about it being a new year and the intentions I want to bring to it. I'm not one of those "DO ALL THE THINGS ON DAY 1!" sort of people. But, I do like to stick with my routines in order to keep them going. It's so easy to fall off. 

So here's what I'm working on:

1. 2025 Bullet Journal Set Up: I was remiss in putting this together early. While I have all my important pages mapped out (and post-it noted) in my new journal, I did not actually write them out. I took some time today to write out the important stuff I need to get the year going. Then, I'm going to chip away at some of the annual pages until they are done. It shouldn't take long, I just need to do them.
2. Christmas Clean Up: Now that all of the presents are opened and all of our families have left, it's time to get our home back in order. That means finding places for things, freezing the extra cookies (because people did not eat enough of them), putting some items in the donation bin, and thinking about taking down all the Christmas decor. Our building (luckily), hosts a dumpster where we can toss our tree. It doesn't arrive until mid-month, so we work around that. I can't decide if we're going to leave the snowflake window clings up or not. They are just a wintry vibe and they are predicting snow...
3. Work Day 1: My first day "back in the office" is tomorrow, but it's work from home day. I'm mostly going to use it to dig out of email and plan my first few days back. I should also toss together some slides for our required professional development day next week.
