Inspire Me Monday #212 – Week Of January 24, 2016

Inspire Me Monday

I like the idea of Inspiration Monday.
Monday’s often get the short end of the stick
But they are fraught with potential!
Judy Palmer

    I haven’t published my One Word for 2016 but it’s FOCUS. I tend to try to multitask but I’ve realized I can’t complete tasks to the best of my ability without focusing. Thanks for hosting, I’m back linking up How I Bullet Journal in my Planner. I’m a total planner addict these days and happy to get this post done! Thanks for hosting.
