2014: Enjoy Life

Last year I did a mind map for 2013. This year I continued the tradition in a fresh new moleskin notebook.  I'm testing out the bullet journal method this new notebook. New year. New way of organizing my mind.  I spent an hour or two thinking about what should go on my mind map. The theme "Enjoy Life" came about.  I feel like 2013 really prepared me for this new mantra. 

2013 had several rough patches, but I tried not to let it skew my view of the year.  As much as I wanted to say "fuck this noise" and revel in the negativity that 2013 brought me, I seemed to find my way to positive people, positive vibes, and simply a positive life. 

2014 feels like more of this mind set. Perhaps it's because Saturn's return is finally over and done. Perhaps it's because I'm seeing things in a different light. But no matter what it is, I feel like 2014 is hopeful. I feel hopeful. Even though today actually marks the last day of my winter break and I usually am totally bummed out. This time around I'm not. I'm actually looking forward to work and getting back into the swing of things. 

I've also spent the first day of 2014 getting my daily planner set up.  In 2012 I started journaling in a mini moleskin daily. I progressed to a small moleskin daily in 2013.  In 2014 I've moved onto the 8 x 5 daily.  Big book for big plans. I'm even trying to do a couple of these 52 Week challenges on lifehacker.  

Speaking of big plans. Excited for Flipping the Music Video coming in February and Kraftwerk in March! 

Cheers 2014. Looking forward to what you'll bring this Oblivious Nerd Girl.
