Happy Thursday!
It’s a beautiful day here in Central Ontario. I can’t believe that we’re in December and I can still have my windows open! It’s got me longing for a house with a deck or at least a screened in porch where I can sit and write in the mornings!
I’m knee deep in planning for 2023 these past few days, and I’ve been really feeling called to start writing morning pages again. I go in spurts where I feel like writing them and can’t wait to get up every morning and journal, and then I’ll stop for awhile when it starts to feel like just another chore to be done.
But the urge to start again and to get all my thoughts around what I want for the coming year down on “paper” is so strong that this morning I went and bought myself a new digital notebook from my friend Fran. I decided that I didn’t want to use real paper for this because 3 pages a day adds up to a lot of journals over the course of the year, only to burn them and waste the paper, since no one but me is ever going to read them anyways.
It’s a small thing but it’s definitely one of the ways I’m working at being more proactive in my life and in my business. And so for today’s read I have 3 Tips for Being More Proactive in Your Planning.
Today’s Read: 3 Tips for Being More Proactive in Your Planning
Are you a proactive or reactive person?
Personally, I’ve always been a more reactive person and as the first step to being more proactive I’m taking ownership of that. I know that I’m not organized and my brain works in weird ways that have me jumping all over the place – not an excuse, just an observation at this point – but I’ve decided that for the coming year I’m going to be much more proactive, think more like a CEO and make things happen for me.
Proactive people strive to be organized as much as possible and always take accountability and ownership. They always see failure as an opportunity to learn and do better. Their behaviors and actions are a conscious choice as a direct result of their values or morals.

Make Websites from Scratch from Angela Wills is her newest (oldest) course on how to build websites in WordPress. She originally launched this program in 2010 and it’s where I first became aware of her as a coach and trainer, and now she’s bringing it back because there is a definite need for people to know how to work with their own websites (even if you hire it out). This is a 4-module course that covers:
- Setting up with WordPress
- Customizing WordPress
- Adding Content to Your Website
- Maximizing Your Site with Plugins & More
That’s it for me today. I’m off to find some dinner and relax a bit. Shaun’s off washing trucks tonight so I’m on my own for dinner.
Have an amazing day! Create what makes your heart happy.
