New Calendar Stuff

 

So last week I watched a video on bullet journaling. This video introduced a discbound method. My biggest objection to traditional (term used lightly) was the messiness of the order - just tack the next page at the end, number it and put it in the index. ICK! With discbound, you can order/group your pages any way you want. I was so excited, I scoured Amazon and found 2 "expansion" packages and ordered them. I figured that with what I already had (see previous entry), just a few more things would help. Unfortunately I ordered 2 kits created by the same company and got lots of duplicates ... oh well, they will get used.  

Calendar Overload (part 2)

 

Over the past year or more, I have bought and created a boxful (yes, a 12 quart tote) packed with calendar supplies. I bought a few more this week after I decided to go with the discbound system. (More later)

My love of calendars is REAL. Now the opportunity to combine calendars with planners, to-do lists (and so many other lists), and so much more with my creative side is exciting.

Calendar overload

I have always loved a calendar. The first memory of my fascination with calendars I have is of a block calendar of my dad's. As I have been cleaning and going through his stuff, I have found myself staring at this calendar and remembering how I loved changing the months and the repeating pattern that allowed the blocks to be tall stacks of numbers. 

As an adult when school starts each year, I could feel my heart beat just a bit faster as I selected my planner for the year. During the pandemic and when I decided to stay home, one of the disappointments was a paper planner was kinda useless with my boring day-to-day. 

Then I discovered bullet journaling: how it could track goals, keep lists and so much more. 

I am fascinated again.

Exploring options

 A very long time with no post. I have been at home now almost every day through the pandemic which made the transition to stay-at-home care giver for my mother an easier transition as subbing jobs were few. As I look to the future, I realize that I do not want to go back to public school teaching. The past few weeks I have been looking into ways to create a passive income, some create once and sell forever digital products. The digital scrapbooking world was not kind, making I think one sale in two or so year. Loved the sociality of it, but not at all profitable.

So I am examining what I am good at that could make a profit in a e-book or a downloadable product.

• family history
• scrapbook kit creation
• scrapbooking
• scrapping family history
• teaching math

What can I do that will stand out? Then to narrow it to a niche.
