I apologise for being absent for a long time. A lot has happened over the past few months that I haven’t been able to keep on top of everything. It has taken me a while to post this update.

Update

To think that my last entry (its been over one year of using the bujo method) was posted in January. I am sorry I have been very quiet. There has been a lot of things to keep me occupied. However, I have still being using my journals. Even though I have been behind the past week, I am going to do my best from now on.

Meanwhile, now that I have more time to myself during week days, I hope that I am going to be able to manage my time better and try to get some things done in small stages. I had high hopes at the start of the year to start building up my artistic skills and working on my project again. However, due to recent events, it looks like that may not be so easy to maintain.

I have been able to maintain a presence on my Instagram account. Posting flip through videos on my monthly tracker collections.

Life

So the biggest news I have is that I found out in March that I am pregnant again with our second child. I am now currently 10 weeks and I am due to have another scan next week to check on the baby. But nothing could have prepared me for the differences between the first and second pregnancy.

This time around, I feel more sleepy and hungry than I did before. So far, I have spent more time on our sofa than ever before. While I hate myself for feeling this way, there isn’t really much I can do. Its still so early in my pregnancy, that I know I should be very careful. Yet at the same time, I know I should be more active.

Kindergarten?!

In addiction to the pregnancy, my little one started going to Kindergarten from yesterday. To think she is now 3 years old, and going to Kindergarten daily from now on is insane! Where did my tiny baby go? This does mean that I have weekday mornings to myself.

Today, I ended up walking to my child’s kindergarten, as I forgot to put something in her bag. As I don’t have a car, walking was my only option. Though getting there was easy and I enjoyed the relaxing walk. It was the walk back home that knackered me out. I wasn’t really intending on being out for long. Yet, the whole trip took 1 hour 26 minutes. I didn’t mean to miss packing something in her bag, but if I had a car, it would have only been a 15-20 minutes round trip.

Goals

Goals

While I started off the year with the goals of “Time management” and “Loose Weight”. It was going well for a while. Until the big news, then everything has come to a standstill. For the time being, my goal is to take everything slowly and try to push myself too far in the early stages of this pregnancy.

However, I am also weary of my age, being in my late 30’s I hope I don’t have any complications. While my biggest worry is my weight. Finding the energy and motivation is proving to be the biggest obstacle. This pregnancy feels more draining and having to try to stop myself from throwing up isn’t helping. I only hope that me resting as much as I can is the best course of action for the time being.

If I can work on my time management skills, then surely that help me get things in order. I have been working with a time boxing system.

It has helped me see what I spend too much on something rather than balancing my time with other activities. Its been so helpful visually. I hope for this coming month, I can organise my time a little more to allow me to feel more comfortable with my use of time. I don’t want to sit here and ponder about what needs to done, but never getting round to doing it. So fingers crossed that I do better next week.

Conclusion

I still love working on my Bujo, and I will try my best to keep up with posts on my Instagram account. Yet, it is still unsure how often I’ll get to update this blog. As I’m still adjusting to having most mornings to myself, I still need to organise my time better to try to get myself more in a routine. I feel like I have been neglecting certain aspects of life, that I need to re-organise my daily tasks and review my main goals for my newly found free time.

Dealing with somethings all at one time is not helping. My thoughts are a little chaotic at the moment. Yet once my body is kind of adjusted to being pregnant again, I have time to set up a plan and get things back in motion. So please bare with me for a little while longer.

Thank you for your continued support. See you soon~
