Project Planner
Hey Everyone! I like to start out the New Year with refreshing my project planner. It keeps a running organized list of all the different things I want to do or save up for. Some things seem kind of silly, but it helps to keep me going on different things that I want to do. First, I start off with a simple 1 inch white binder. You could find one for cheap at your local office supply store.
Inside my planner you'll find 5 tabs (Budget, Bedrooms, Bathrooms, Kitchen, DR/LR).
In the budget tab you'll find my list of what I want to do in each room. I created an excel spreadsheet that contains categories such as room, project/item, cost, item #, and location.
At the beginning of the new year I'll go through each page. I'll check off the things that I've accomplished and see if there are any new things I want to add.
As you can see above there was a good chunk of checking off, crossing out, and also some writing on some of the pages. I look at some at the pages and wonder what I was thinking. "Pictures/Drawing Hanging", what was I thinking? Not a clue. In the other tabs I print out examples of the things I want. It gave me a visual goal or an example of what I might want. Then if there is some thought I want to add about the item I'll write it on that page.
When I have it all straightened out, I fix up the pages on excel and then print them out. Then I'm starting the New Year with a new plan, a new purpose, and a goal to look to.
Right now we're looking at possibly buying a new house. I'll keep you posted if we do decide to. If we do end up buying this other house and selling our own you know I'll have a whole new slew of projects! I'll keep you posted!
Have fun!
