January - WINTER

Im glad that I have come back to this blog. I am suffering from the overwhelm of information overload a little bit so this is just what I need. Years after learning about the GTD system and the FLY lady system along with listening to Marie kondo's spark joy ebook I am still managing STUFF. Yeah the paper kind. Now I am older i guess I can plan for things on a yearly basis. God willing it will really allow the routine to reduce the kind of writers block (you know the blank page situation for creative people, I aint no writer) anxiety whilst allowing creativity to be inspired from that structure if that makes sense?

So, January then.
 Each month has 4 weeks planned so that there is lots to do all year. the acadmic year is only 30 something weeks so 12 x 4 is weeks plenty to keep those at home during hols and weekends busy!!!

As part of the winter season the WEEKLY topics for January are:

• Winter
• Electricity
• In the home -Fire and fire safety
• Cities
• Light, dark and shadows 

Suggestions for activities:
