Printable Notepads (A Late HNY!)
So, my trial week for 2021 has ended. I honestly have things lined up that I should have started with already, and ISTG I want to be pumped and in the mood now… but I am STILL not. With that said, let me procrastinate some more: HAPPY NEW YEAR! Here’s a thing to distract me from something else.
Free printable notepads – one list type and a blank one – they might help set the mood for the tasks you’ve been ignoring, lol. They also make pretty desk and planner companions. (Picturan mo nalang work area mo ganon para feeling may nagawa. Chos not chos.) That aside, I hope they help in any way! Aesthetic or productive.
Download them here or on the link below. For PERSONAL use only.
The designs are actually part of a sticker set I finished but did not get to produce yet. I have quite a few new designs over the past break? Months? What even is time now? I shared a different freebie in Common Room’s Patreon at the end of the year, too. I like to think I’ll have them printed soon. But I’ve also been saying that for ages. Again, what even is time now?
(You don’t need to read the next part. This will just be me mumbling to myself because as I said, I’m posting this to procrastinate. I also told myself at new year that I won’t cut these things anymore. It’s a year of saying fuck it and post the drafts!)
I’ve always loved the preparation and dreaded the execution. Once I hit post here, I give myself the burden of FINALLY, actually, starting on my own list of tasks! Don’t get me wrong, I am super excited for the work I have lined up. (And thankful and lucky. If not, these printables won’t be free hahaha!) And I have several boards and sheets up for each of them; even those with deadlines. Even more for those with deadlines. There is just that relentless fear of not being able to give justice to the ideas, y’know? The brain to hand course of it. Sometimes, I miss the technical work because you would know how things would play out. Follow a formula and you get to have a solution. You just have to go through a hell of a lot of manuals and greek letters and all. But you’re bound to get there! Now, I look at all the unfinished creative WIPs and just tell myself to trust the process. Whatever that may mean, lol. And I try to hype myself up like a madman. “You chose this. You got this!” That sort of thing. And when all else fails, I stare at a hot Hyuck photo and maybe get confidence and motivation through osmosis from my phone screen or something. Maybe if I also stare at my Notion pages long enough, things will just draw themself to completion. No? Okay. [Creeper smiley with tear emoji.] I guess bye for now then! I miss freestyle “blogging” like this. Just getting words out to get things off the chest sort of thing. Here’s to a year of getting things done! Intentionally. Hopefully.
Starting the year late,
Louise
