DIYFish Inserts

Hey Fleekers!

Waz up?  How is your week going?

So.  I have been reading a lot of reviews and watched a lot of YouTube videos about the DIYFish inserts.  They intrigued me so much I bought and downloaded a three month trial.  Don't worry I am still using my monthly Growing Up Goddess insert as well as the lined paper.  

I just felt bad because I wasn't using the week one to it's full potential.  Plus I was trying the brain dump and as much as I want it to work for some reason it is just too much for my simple little brain.  

Here is the month fold out.  I am trying the color coding with this just for quick reference.  Which is why I still use the Growing Up Goddess month lay out.  That one is written while this is just colored boxes.  I was concerned about how my head would wrap around starting my week on Mondays because I am a traditional Sunday gal.  But so far it's not too bad.


Like the majority of the people who use this page as a menu planner I decided to join in.  I think it is going to work well.

Here is the month laid out.  In the middle is a divided note/task box area.  On the left side I think I am just going to take notes as well as a running journal entry of my parent's new house progress.  Just for record purposes. 
Not sure what to do for the task part.

Here is one of my favorite features I think.  I love how I can fold out the money and have my week right there.  I use it for appointments and journaling.  Then the best part is a separate section for tasks.  I just love this lay out.


Here is a look at Growing up Goddess monthly insert. I LOVE it.

There is still so much space that I haven't used yet in the DIYFish inserts.  I am actually a little overwhelmed at the amount of space there is to keep lists and write stuff down.  But I do really like the idea of keeping everything together and getting rid of the brain dump.  I love love love the idea of the brain dump and as much as I want it to work for me it just doesn't.  

So that's it for today!  
Have a good rest of the weak.

Just A Little Something

Hey Fleekers!

I am a huge slacker.  I have no excuses.  I honestly didn't know what to blog about.

I am enjoying my Fauxdori so far.  I am not head over heals about it but I am enjoying it.  It's a new adventure.

I printed out some new pages from MsWenduhh.  Just giving those a go.

I don't think I am using the brain dump to it's full potential.  I have a weekly booklet and I have been writing the top priority items in there:

However I am finding it cumbersome to write things multiple times.  

So I think what I am gonna do is use my brain dump just for my to do list as it is intended to be.  
I think I am going to use my weekly booklet for journaling for sure and I am not sure what else.  May be appointments.  I like the monthly spread for that though..


So I dunno.  I'm still trying to figure out what I want to do.  And for some reason I have felt the yearning to use my Filofax.  I get a little overwhelmed at using multiple planners.  But may be I can work something out.  

So that's a small update on my honest feelings.  Sorry it's not much.  Lol.  If you have any questions or requests let me know!

Happy Fleeking!

Fauxdori Brain Dump

Hey hey Fleeker Friends!

How's it going? 

So.  Today I thought I would take you a little deeper into my Fauxdori and how I plan.


So.  I have a booklet at the very back that I use for my brain dump.  Almost every night I come her to unload.  I put the date, then any appointments then any tasks that I think I need to do the next day.  It doesn't matter if I know I don't have time for them.  I just write it down.  I have linked several times in previous posts about a video on YouTube that I learned how to do this and I love that video.  But here is the link. It's a great video.  I love it.

After I get down all of what is in my brain at the moment, I put an astric by the items that I know I can get done that day. 

From there I put them in my weekly view.  This might seem redundant and perhaps it is, buti like having a weekly view.  Plus I like journaling in my weekly view.  



So that is how I use my brain dumping and weekly booklet.  I also have a monthly booklet which we will look at later. 

How do you use your brain dumping?  I would love to read and see ideas!  

Happy Fleeking!
