the turning of the year is an ouroboros
it's actually just my annual post about my planner
This is a fascinating time of year because The Horrors (seasonal depression) haven’t yet caught up to me — they usually emerge from their hibernation in February and haunt me until April — and in that sweet lull between Christmas and New Years, magical thinking reigns and I become convinced that I can solve my whole life with a really good planner. But because I am me, I can’t just buy a planner, I have to make my own, like some kind of overachieving masochist. (This year, I figured out how to print my weekly spreads, saving my thumb joint from an inevitable meltdown.)
Remember last year’s planner? Let’s check in on how I did with a few of my trackers…
And here are the new spreads!
Onto the trackers!
This year, instagram convinced me that I need to knit a book snake to count how many books I’ve read by genre, so uh, I’m doing that? If I can ever figure out how to make the snake’s head, anyway. I’ll be knitting the snake (he doesn’t exist yet but his name is LeVar, obviously), and keeping a corresponding paper log, hence the planner page.
Here’s all my random ends of skeins from this year’s knitting projects.
Here’s the yarn key for the snake’s stripes:
I didn’t add it to the card, but I’m using black for the intercalary color.
Happy new year! May the next 364 days be filled with all your favorite things and an absolute minimum of Horrors.
