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!

Family Fleeker Workshop

Hello Fleekers!

So I have received a few questions about my family workshop that I presented at a few weeks ago.

I had been taking to my aunt about my previous bullet journal and she was very interested in it.  She asked me if I would be willing to present at our annual family workshop.  I said sure!

So.  She made a little invite and we got together before hand to discuss planners and the materials that I use.  She also showed me her planners and how she plans.

When the day came I set up my planners and brought some of my supplies as this photo shows:

I just showed one of my washi tape containers, my sticker binder and several planners that I have used in the past.

I sort of had an idea of what I wanted to talk about.  I had a lay out written out:

My family is very friendly.  Lol.  They love to be together.  So it's hard to stand up and talk/lecture them.

My aunt had given them ask a composition notebook.  

  So I basically just showed them the video if the original bullet journal.  Then I had them fill out April as the video described.  They had a lot of questions about if they had more events on the same day and what to do.  Others had questions on washi tape.  

I think if I were to present again I would do it differently.  Mostly be prepared more.  I would have blown up examples of my pages so they could see better.  I now know the type of questions that will be asked so I would be better prepared with answers and examples.

My aunt had a bunch of prizes (enough for everyone) such as washi tape, stickers pens and journals.  

One if my cousins uses her phone for her planner so we talked about that.  My sister had one of those spiral weekly ones from Kinkos.  The important thing I think when talking about planners and giving ideas is to remember that everyone does things differently.  That's what I liked about it is seeing how my family made their plans and got things done.  

I did have my mom talk a little bit to show the differences in our bullet journals.

I had a blast being with my family.  Plus talk about planners.  Who in the planner community doesn't love that?  

So there you have it.  My first ever Fleeker workshop.

A Chunky Monkey!

Howdy Fleekers!

It's Saturday and I am glad for the warmer weather!

And I am glad for my final set up in my Fauxdori!  It's so chunky and I love it!  You want to take a look?  Um OK.  Since you said please.  

So here is the top.  I went to Michaels and found some elastic to hook my books together!  The hair elastics I was using were fine they were just a bit too big so I couldn't it as many in.

The first booklet from Growing Up Goddess on Etsy is my monthly.  I have gone a little decorating happy I won't lie.  That's my favorite part of a fresh new lay out!  Mwahahahaha....aaaaa

Eh hem.  Now.  The next booklet is my weekly.  Again from Growing Up Goddess. 

I am putting my appointments and the most important tasks from my brain dump on the left side.  Then some journaling on the right.  I love the space where the days are.  I put a weather stamp from Tiny Stamps Big Plans on Etsy.  

Next I made a folder of sorts. I originally got the inspiration from this video on YouTube.  I got the card slips and photo slips from Office Depot.  

The next booklet (from you guessed it Growing Up Goddess) is my food journal.

The next one came with my cover from EternalLeatherGoods on Etsy.  This one houses my lists and collections and thoughts.  

The final booklet is my brain dump.  I have been loving this!  I thought I would be overwhelmed but I love it.  

And there you have it! A total of five books!  Plus my own folder insert.  I do have a bit of hang over on the edge but that surprisingly doesn't bother me.  

Thanks for taking a look in my Fauxdori!  I have rearranged it so much already I am sure more changes will come.  Lol.  But for now this is how I like it!  

Happy Fleeking!
