keri smith giveaway #2
Awhile back when I began doing the planner giveaways in preparation for The Courageous Year e-course, I contacted Keri Smith to see if one of her wonderfully irreverent “non-planners” could be part of the giveaways. These guys are hard to find! She sent me two. The first was sent out, and the second is being made available as this week’s giveaway.
I really love Keri Smith’s approach, which I find to be very non-commercial, authentic, and fun. This type of datebook is great for people who avoid anything meticulously planned, as well as for those who are straight and narrow planners looking to ease up in the new year.
To enter this giveaway, comment on this post (and only this post) sharing whether you think your life could use a little more planning/organization lately, or perhaps a little less, and why. What would you like to balance out these days?
Comment by Wednesday at 10:00pm Pacific and please check back to http://www.yourcourageouslife.com/blog/ by Friday afternoon to see who one and, if you are the winner, to give me your contact information. In the event of a no-show, a runner up will be drawn.

I am such a planner! I love planning and scheduling. lately though, I find myself doodling and drawing and coloring in my datebook over appointments. I even missed a meeting because I had drawn a giant paisley lotus flower over the appointment. interestingly, I did not panic about this. because my datebook is gorgeous.

Balance? I’ve forgotten what that is. A very kind friend pointed out (very gently) that there are so many demands on my time that I’ve forgotten to schdule time for myself. All this as we approach that time of year where the demands tend to increase! I long for an unplanned, go-with-the-flow kind of life that has me sitting on the couch (guilt-free) with my knitting, an audiobook and a cup of tea for extended periods of time.
(For the record, I’m typing this at work, on a day where I’ve worked without a break since 7 a.m., was asked to stay for a 1 hour meeting scheduled to start 1 hour after my day is supposed to end, and where I’ve started to say “if it’s urgent, I’ll meet you in two weeks…and if it’s not urgent, we can meet in January”. Really, truly a sad life.)
