monthly reset routine ✷ planning my creative life (notion + journaling)

Welcome back ✷ I started April craving a reset- a moment to reflect, and realign my creative life. In this video, I walk through my monthly reset routine, from setting up my planner and monthly Notion page to creating a junk journal spread inspired by recent spring days. I’ve also started Week 1 of The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron, and I share how it’s already shifting the way I think about creativity, identity, and building a more intentional artistic life. This month, I leaned into a theme of renewal, pulling inspiration from nature, creating my monthly Pinterest board, and a “File of Dreams” approach inspired by The Artist’s Way. I filled my Notion dashboard with green, natural imagery to reflect the season and create a space that actually draws me back into my creative goals. If you're building a creative routine, exploring slow living, or looking for a way to reset your month with more intention, I hope this video offers a little inspiration ✷ Other bits & pieces: 💻 Notion from Slow Morning Diaries:    • how to get your life together so you can l...   🌼 Thank you to ‪@MrsMeyersClean‬ for the gifted Daisygarden-inspired bundle 📖 Check out Lynn C Miller's new psychological, family dynamics litfic, The Surrogate published on March 31st: https://uwpress.wisc.edu/Books/T/The-... 💌 Thank you to My Book Embosser for the gifted book embossers.
