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.
