Hey there! Well, today’s post is going to be a little (or a lot!) different from my usual essays. I have launched my first ever digital product today and put it out to the world - a real “Hello world!” moment for me if you will! I have been dabbling with routines, ideas and systems to make my life feel a little bit more organised and less chaotic, a little bit more in control and less all over the place, and to provide more clarity than distress – for years now! And one area of growing concern for me was falling out of my rhythm from time to time, letting things pile up, letting my usual routines slip and just giving into the chaos. And whatever I tried or experimented with, the same kind of solution didn’t seem to work every time. I slowly realized there was no one-size-fits-all solution to situations like this. And that made me look for practices, ideas, tools – anything that could help me to feel better, help me to feel more in control or heck just give me the moment to pause and take a deep breath for once in moments like these. Some of them helped, some didn’t, and some had to be adapted over time to make it work. And the last thing one needs in these ‘out of sync’ situations - is to put together a plan for how to reset from there. My own desperation, hence, led me to build this space, this template – where I have put together all the reset routines that I have learned, adapted and simplified over time – so that in times of need, I don’t need to go scouring the abyss for what I can do, where I can start and how I can start feeling better! And did I tell you I am a big Notion fan girl too! I’m pretty sure I have Notion open every day that I have my laptop open. But that is a story for another day. So yes, this is a template for reset routines that I have put together in Notion, and I call it - drumroll please! - the Reset Routine Template! I know, very original and a very innovative name! anyway…. Like the name, but more than the name – it is a collection of simple, curated ways to reset different areas of everyday life from routines and the surroundings to your mind, mood and more. Structured and guided enough to make it easier on the tough days, and flexible enough to make the system your own – the idea is to have one place to return to and a range of resets to choose from based on whatever needs your attention. And this is just the system I needed and now something that I use regularly whenever I need a reset. This is for you if:
I made this because I really needed it. Now it’s yours too. Cheers! PS – If you missed the link above, here it is again. |
I write weekly-ish newsletters sharing essays, ideas, tools and occasional offers around intentional choices and simple systems for everyday life and personal growth.
Efflorezen Life Admin Reset: What is a Life Admin Day and How to plan one (plus Free Notion Checklist) I’m pretty sure I came across this concept of ‘Life Admin’ a couple of years ago on YouTube or social media. And being a ‘productivity’, organisation and planning kind of girlie, I was intrigued by this from the get-go. It really started to make a lot of sense once I adapted it to my own life, and since then, life admin has stayed on as a routine I still take up from time to time. I like to...
Efflorezen Why I think we all need a Personal System to Capture, Organize and Manage the Things that Matter and How I use Notion for it Do you relate to having your information and data all over the place? to-dos in multiple notebooks, sticky notes or that nth new note in your notes app appointments strewn over the different digital calendars and that calendar on your fridge recurring tasks you need to do basically hanging in the air, with no real place to live your collection of articles to...
Efflorezen A back to routine reset for when you feel stuck in a rut Do you often struggle to get things back on track after a period of downtime or when you are stuck in a slump or ‘stuck in a rut’ kind of phase? Perhaps you want to get back into routine after the holidays or after a trip or vacation, or perhaps it is a case of feeling stuck, feeling a bit lost, and not knowing where to start or how to reset or how to get back on track! For different people, this sort of ‘stuck-ness’ could be...
