A Positivity Journal

So hi...

Positivity is a big thing for me the last few months, trying to make my outlook on life more positive in all aspects of my life has been a long process for the last few months. I have a habit of getting down really quickly, it's not something I do on purpose but I tend to be quite sarcastic and sarky and it often seems like there is no much awful situations happening in the world, all this just makes it hard for me to sometimes see the nicer gestures and events in like. It's why my blog is called 'It's about the little things' as a personal reminder to myself as there's a lot of good in the world to and that I should learn to appreciate the smaller things in life.

So recently while I was buying notebooks and things for my uni lectures I was able to get a spare notebook as apart of a two for one deal, but I didn't really need it for anything and wasn't sure what to use it for.

Then the idea came to me to use it to note down favourite moments each month and plans to look forward to, as well as lists of my favourite things such as songs and quotes. And I thought to call it my Positivity journal. It's a little book that I can add to whenever something pops to mind, and to look back at and enjoy whenever I'm feeling a little bit down and the negativity of the world is feeling a little too much.

It's a decently big book which I've given each month every other page, with little lists in between and after a page for 2016 top memories and then bigger lists like 100 thing that make me happy and 101 favourite songs etc.

I'd definitely recommend having a place to just wrote down the small positive and happier moments in life.
Any lists you'd recommend for me? how do you stay positive?

Notebook Organization!

So hi...


Similar to my obsessed with lists is my need for notebooks, I like having a notebook for everything.. As you can see I currently have 5 notebooks in use 6 if you count the one I don't have with me at uni. Anyway I love notebooks and trying to be organized though sometimes that fails. So I thought I'd go through what I use each note book for to keep me on track and motivated in all aspects of life.

So I'll start with the red book, this is my brainstorm book, When I have random thought for posts, or anything really, I write it down in here. it's a pretty messy book but it's essentail for me to clear out my mind and not forget my ideas and thoughts. I also write a few blog post lists out on here before typing them up. As well as non blogger related things such as youtube ideas, gaming posts and plans for cosplay. It's really just my mind dump. Next is the muti coloured patterned book. I've had this one since 2013, It's my most private book, It has my hopes and goals in it, as well as important details that I need to remember, like for last year before I started uni I wrote a load of details about the course and accommodation etc, just so I could look back on them and know whats going on. I also have cooking recipes at the back of it, though I'm planning to get a notebook just for my recipes. It's a pretty random loads of things but It's probably one of the mostimportant as it has so many personal notes for me.

The Last 3 notebooks you may have noticed are all diaries, but they do att have different uses I promise! The Burgundy one is a general used one, I note down important events I have on days and a general to do list each night for the next day, It's super helpful to plan out my day and i've myself some structure, especially now that summer holiday is here and I have nothing to do, setting little goals and a to do list will keep me moving.
The animals print diary is an actual diary, I write about my day in the 4/5 line space, so i can look back at the year, as well as a way to organize my scrapbook so I don't miss any important days of events, I can look through this diary.
The front little diary is my blogging diary. It's where I plan each week what posts I'm going to write and put up. It's been so useful over May with me posting everyday, I already have the whole month of posts written down for when I want them to be put up. So usually after I read through my brainstorm notebooks I can pick ideas I like enough to make into a post and then Schedule them down with this little wonder.
And Just to let you know what my last notebook at home contains, It's a rather new one but It's all about gaming plans and ideas as well as dress making notes, for both general clothes making as I want to become pretty good at it and for my cosplays.

And that's how I attempt to keep myself from becoming a lazy unorganized mess of a person, with the help of 5/6 notebooks. Probably a little excessive but it works for me.
Do you use notebooks to help you through the days?
