Take Time to Take Stock
Posted by: onebagnation on: February 3, 2009
For a while now I’ve been using a modified version of simplemom’s Daily Docket to help me manage my schedule. Working part-time from home makes me feel scattered, and my Hour by Hour plan helps me set realistic expectations for my day and my week.
Each day I schedule time in my Hour by Hour to [...]
Why is Change so Uncomfortable?
Posted by: onebagnation on: January 15, 2009
I bought a new Day Runner (binder and pages) for 2009. My old one was smallish, and with my new job the monthly calendar squares were just too cramped and I could hardly read what I had written.
I love my old book. I got it on sale at Filofax several years ago and I’m still [...]
New Year Affirmations
Posted by: onebagnation on: January 11, 2009
Inspired by the New Year’s Challenge posed by Leo from zenhabits.net, I decided that my only serious New Year’s resolution would be to establish a new habit, and that my habit would be to write (and say aloud) three affirmations daily.
The problem is, it’s so easy to forget to do it! I decided to type [...]
I Hit the Wall, Fell off the Wagon, and the Wheels Came Off!
Posted by: onebagnation on: January 7, 2009
The last month or so really challenged my ability to keep lots of balls in the air; my little blog was one of the first to drop, and I’ve missed it!
I was feeling so discouraged that I couldn’t even rally to make any New Year’s Resolutions; somehow “get organized” is starting to sound really worn [...]
Slowly but Surely . . .
Posted by: onebagnation on: January 5, 2009
Yesterday Kelly at Almost Frugal posted about the similarities of living with a chronic illness (in her case fybromyalgia) and her efforts to live frugally.
The post resonated with me because I feel the same way about my quest for order and organization. I’ll be going along for a while, feeling pretty good, and then suddenly, [...]
Get in (Micro)motion to Manage the Holidays
Posted by: onebagnation on: December 11, 2008
Many of us have a lot to do around the holidays. Despite my attempt to plan a more frugal and simple holiday season for my family, I still have long to do lists. I’m not feeling stressed, though. I found a great way to get my tasks done without feeling completely overwhelmed.
The idea was inspired [...]

Visible Progress At Last!
Posted by: onebagnation on: November 20, 2008
Here is a photo of all the glorious space we have cleared in the basement. There’s still more work to be done, but now my husband can begin work on the wall and shelves he’s planning. Next, the lighting, paint and some carpet and we’re in business!
The holiday room is looking much, much better as [...]
Holidays by Hand: Ribbons and Thread
Posted by: onebagnation on: November 17, 2008
Kelly at Almost Frugal is this week’s Holiday by Hand hostess. I haven’t posted a project this time, because I’m not at all clever with ribbons or thread, but do head over to Almost Frugal to see the cute holiday projects Kelly has assembled.
And remember, I’m hosting the Holidays by Hand food theme week on [...]
