Snippets

I rearranged my desk! I've got all my notebooks within arms' reach, and I got a pen holder and desktop organizer that are really bringing in the cyber aesthetic that I'm going for. I also got a painfully cute crab pen holder that I need to find a place for. I settled on my color scheme as well: light blue, yellow, teal, hot pink and light purple. Switching from a Japanese Vaporwave aesthetic to an Aquatic Cyber aesthetic has taken a lot of effort (and finding things to match my color scheme is even trickier) but I have made some progress. 

I went all in on bullet journaling. I tried to make the switch to digital journaling, but nothing beats the satisfaction and creativity of using actual stationary. I am OBSESSED. I've been recording all the happenings of my months and I plan to make a month-in-review throughout the year. It'll have any big events I went to, all my extraneous purchases (very helpful for budgeting), books I read, movies I watched, and anything else of note. I plan to theme each monthly review based on whatever I was fixated on at the time: for example, January is Cult of the Lamb, February is Harry Potter, etc. I also got a massive pack of Crayola Super Tip markers and a notebook that can handle them. I am so amped about diving into this new hobby!!

I'm reaching peak office cuteness at my work. My work planner? Pink. My meetings notebook? Pink. My lunchbox? Pink with a bear on it. My book bag? Pink with an ice cream keychain. My wallet? Pink with a gold bow on it. My pen? Pink with a cupcake on the end. I'm close to reaching my final form and showing up with a pink dress and just being the cutest bish in the office.

I've made progress on being more active. I tried Pilates for the first time and I was humbled. I definitely plan to continue it. I've also been doing a lot of bicep curls, treadmill time and squats. So many squats. I've been working out at least three times a week, and so far I've been holding steady.

And I've made huge steps on finishing projects that I started in 2021 and 2022. Lots of stuff needed to be sorted, or put away, or deep cleaned and by just buckling down and focusing on them, I've been knocking them off my list one by one. It feels really good. This year is off to a great start. I don't want to jinx myself, but this might be my year.
