Box jumps. Clapping push-ups. One-arm kettlebell swings. These are all things that two weeks ago I would have told you I couldn’t do. But now, I know I can do these things and so much more.

What’s your future writing bio?
Back in September, I challenged the women of the See Jane Write Collective to write their future writing bio, the bio that they would want someone to read before they took the stage to speak at their favorite conference. This was my attempt to get them to “write the vision and make it plain.” This future bio, I’d hoped, would give them a clear picture of what they wanted and where they were going, so then they could focus on figuring out how to get there.
Let’s call this month No-Goals November – or not
Today is November 1 — the first day of #BlogLikeCrazy. Because today is the first of the month this should also be the day that I share with you my goals for November.
If you’ve been reading See Jane Write for a while you know that I’m a girl with goals. My best friend once said, “Your goals have goals!” She’s right. I set goals for the year, the quarter, the season, the month, the week, and for every day.
When this same friend read my blog post about my goals October and for the final quarter of 2018 she said, “You are doing TOO much!”
And she was right again. I had set unrealistic goals for myself and set too many of them to top things off. This goal digger had gotten out of control.
So I thought to myself, I’ll declare this month No-Goals November!
How to Accomplish Your 4th Quarter Goals
October is here. We’re in the final quarter of the year. And as a college football fan, I love a good 4th quarter win. But this month if you see me strutting around holding four fingers in the air it might not be for the Alabama Crimson Tide, but for the ladies of See Jane Write — and for myself. I am declaring that this quarter is ours.
How to Make the Most of the Day Designer
Before I started writing for StyleBlueprint Birmingham I was interviewed by the publication for its FACES of Birmingham feature. There’s one question that’s asked of every woman profiled for this feature: What are 3 things you can’t live without?
My answer? Beyonce, Essie nail polish and my Day Designer.
The Day Designer is a planner by Whitney English and it’s the answer to another question I’m often asked — How do you do it all? If you’ve ever wondered how I teach full-time, write part-time, run See Jane Write, exercise most days of the week and still find time to hang out with family and friends you should know that the Day Designer is my secret weapon.
The Day Designer’s January 2019 Flagship Daily Planners go on sale today. If you’re someone who still loves writing down to-do lists and planning your months, weeks, and days on paper then the Day Designer is for you.
Here are a few tips on how to get the most out of your Day Designer.
