So I've decided to move my home office around, mostly so I could fit in my new whiteboard. There was some deconstructing of a wardrobe and some drives to the tip but that's all done with now and I'm pretty happy with the result.
It's not all that exciting really but it has been a positive move for me, as it's been one of a few things I've been doing to try and get myself more organised. I love whiteboarding so having one of a decent size at home is going to allow me to think about architecture and design a lot easier on my home projects.
The New Journal
So a while ago I came across the Self Journal by Best Self Co and thought it was a really great idea. At the time I didn't think that I really needed everything from it though so I decided to roll my own with similar sections but I would write the template out myself for each day/week. This worked for a little while but I got bored of spending so much time simply writing out the template for the day before even getting the planning part, so I soon dropped it.
Recently I've decided that I need to get more organised again and then I recalled how effective I was being when I was using my journal. So I've decided to give it another go, except this time I've gone full force and had my templates all printed out and bound together into a fairly professional looking journal. By no means does it rival the quality of the self journal but at least it won't get torn or damaged from being carried about in my laptop bag.

Progress so far...
So I've been using the journal for a 3/4 days now and I'm actually stunned out how effective it's been. I've started a project which is my "13 week Goal" for the Journal and It's going so much better than other projects that I've started in the past.
Not only have I been working on development at home more I have also been getting more done at work, doing general chores, DIY and even looking after my health.
Needless to say so far it's all going well, I just hope that I can keep it up.
Cheers :)
