APRIL NOTEBOOK CHALLENGE ✨ Writer Reset Workbook, Craft Books, & Meal Planning

[@HeartBreathings]

Hope your April is going well so far! Grab the writer reset workbook and join me. Also, hope you enjoy a long holiday weekend video haha.

[@joannaholden943]

HUGE yes to the quarterly writing craft book club. I would love to add new craft books to my stack and get to discuss them with fellow authors and hear your thoughts on them as someone who has written so many books

[@CanyonHolgate]

The book club sounds like an amazing idea! I hope you’ll do a quarterly craft book book club reading.

[@tiffanycowan7285]

The book club sounds so awesome. I have been following for a while and have been collecting craft books and would love to have someone to read a long with.

[@tammy2830]

Craft book bookclub sounds great!

[@suzisaintjames]

One thing I recently learned whilst cleaning/tidying my space was... When I finish a project, I start a new project... I never clean up or tidy the area. I found a box filled with trays of tools that never got put away after the projects were over. A stack of envelopes that never got thrown out after opening the mail. So lately I've been making a deliberate effort to clean up my mess after each project and not let the stuff pile up to do later... Truthfully, it takes longer to do later because you have to review the pile of stuff, where as if you just took care of it upon project completion, there's no review. So next project, clean up your space before you move to the next and see how satisfying it is to start fresh every project! 💖🌞🌵😷

Hey Sarra. I've gotta say your time off did you well. Your skin is glowing and there's just this pep and energy surrounding you. I'm so glad that you're doing this writer reset as I've been struggling with writing as well.

[@HeartBreathings]

Thank you Rachel! It's amazing how a little bit of rest can help sometimes!

[@dianemorasco]

Hey, Beautiful, Sarra is beaming. I love her energy. I love yours, too. I am rooting for you, Rachel. 💕

[@QueenViolet]

@@dianemorasco Thx D. i'm rooting for you too.💞🎊

[@teriblain7140]

Love the idea of a quarterly writing craft book club!

[@salomebeukes]

I love the craft book club idea! There are so many great books out there, so would be great to have a sort of 'guide' of great books to read (if that makes sense)

[@KayJay7000]

A big "YES" for a Writing Craft Book book club!

[@ismilelaughgiggle]

YES❣️❣️ Please let’s have a craft book club❣️❣️ It would be so helpful and inspiring❣️❣️ -Denise

[@deborahfitch8865]

I love that you frequently highlight Black books.

[@ecr.7695]

One needs to reset oneself whenever and wherever one needs them. Wishing everyone the best! 🙏💛

[@ShannonsChannel]

I love this - how organized you are. I have a few planners/notebooks on the go, with intentions of having 1 for KZbin video plans/ideas, 1 for notes on the books I read, 1 for notes on my writing project, 1 for daily life stuff, etc. I find it hard to remember to look in them all! I feel like I need 1 giant book to put everything in so it's all in 1 place, lol! The cacti notebook is cool. I love the colours in it. All the best with your writing reboot; I think you got this!

[@jenniferglover6417]

Getting to decorate and utilize your creativity is totally a stress reliever and helps you be in that happy flow state. It makes TOTAL sense that you enjoy tracking on the pretty pages!

[@SallySueSaywhatagain]

Yesyesyes to a craft book book club!! Craft books are def one of the things that inspire me, and it would be so awesome to have a book club focused on them!!

[@PlanningAnnie]

Love the craft notebook. I recently started a productivity self study for the year and this involves reading many newer and more classic books on productivity and time management. I am capturing notes in a similar way but using Notion for my key notes and take aways. I know you have recently started using Notion. Capturing notes this way makes it searchable and easier to reference and categorize in the future. I have a video all about my method if interested. Great video as always. These are my favorite videos to catch every month!

[@staceyshillingburg7966]

Oh my gosh I love the notebook giveaway! I gasped out loud haha. Also I think a craft book club would be really awesome and fun. I'm looking forward to the writer reset vlogs!

[@catherinecooke7931]

That productivity planner would make an awesome social media planner

[@SimplyByHeart]

Two Lil Bees has beautiful journaling stickers. Love how you're using stickers throughout your notebooks and planners.

[@MyKreativePursuits]

Yes! Let’s do a book club!

[@mennatel-amir9131]

Missed these videos. I have been waiting for this video for a whole week. I am no writer but I enjoy the stationary and the notebooks but I also enjoy the help books part, I don’t know why😂 I also respect Sara and I feel how considerate she is as a human being. Wish her all the success in the world.

[@HeartBreathings]

Thank you so much. What a sweet comment!

[@dianemorasco]

Sarra is a remarkable soul. 💕

[@lexmartin3420]

Yes to the craft book book club!!!

[@cathyortega4321]

I love the post it note idea. I am in sales and that is such a great way for me to use to focus on solutions to challenges I have. Thanks for doing really helpful vids!!

[@JessyInch]

Yes, I'm all for the book club. Sign me up, lol.

[@melissacorlissdelorenzo3256]

The book club sounds great!

[@amybarr8518]

Your channel makes me want to get my butt in order!!! I seem to always come back to your channel as my inspiration! Sending love❤️ all the best in your journey to your best self!

[@cathyulrickson8406]

Just finished HB90 and have regained my passion!! I am organizing my notebooks. Creating my writing space, and have learned to be ok with where I am. Q2 will be May and June for me. I am beyond excited!! Thank you Sarra Canon! ♥️

[@knottyneedle]

Love the idea of the Craft Book club. I also started Heroine's Journey book and need to get back to work on it.

[@caitlinchapman2340]

I love idea of the Craft Book Club as well.

[@gintzudai2979]

Great video, as always, Sarra. The craft book club sounds like a great idea.😁

[@lexybaginsky]

What helped me was taking care not to promise too much too early. That you have a good week doesn't mean you are back in the flow, it might be (and often was) just a spurt. And then people were expecting what I promised and I felt so bad it hindered my writing even more. So now I just write and not tell anyone and when I am done, they will be happily surprised and that will hopefully make me feel so good that I can dive right into the next story.

[@craftingrubydreams]

For black paper notebooks, I have completely fallen in love with using Sarasa Decoshines. They're metallic, but they write SOOOO smoothly at least on the black paper journals I've been getting from Lights Planner Action.

[@HeartBreathings]

Ooooh, I need them! Thank you!

[@jenniferbaumer1654]

Love the writer reset idea. I can see the energy growing for you! and as always, love the notebook challenge video. It feeds my own notebook obsession, but also makes me use them. Spring is the perfect time to renew. Can't wait to see how you move forward with the writing.

[@melissasnyder5268]

Love the craft book club idea

[@samanthaspenser457]

I love the book club idea! Thank you for another great video! ❤

[@Juntaine]

That productivity planner really caught my eye. I'm very checklist-driven, and the undated pages looks less intimidating. Gonna check that out for my writing. I love seeing all the different kinds of notebooks that you try out. I'm always getting ideas!

[@tenamesaric8742]

I've been feeling very unmotivated and anxious for the last few months, so my main goal for this quarter is to reclaim my happiness. Your videos are always a great motivation

[@daniv690]

I'm not a writer, but I love reset videos of all stripes and I'm excited to follow your journey!

[@theronaissance]

Your authenticity and engagement are so inspiring. Thanks for sharing parts of your day and thoughts with us.

[@TheKoffeeVerse]

Things are going well since I took the HB90 course! I actually self published my 1st book!! I'm so excited to grow in my writing!

[@HeartBreathings]

Wow, that's awesome!!

[@katendress6142]

Ooh, a quarterly craft book club sounds awesome!

[@KaceyEzellWriterLife]

I have SO MANY notebooks with a single page used. You are definitely not alone! That's one reason I love these notebook challenge videos. I get ideas on how I can use my "one-pager" notebooks. :)

[@KaceyEzellWriterLife]

and yes please on the Craft Book Book Club ! :)

[@gabriellacontreras7769]

Yay to writer reset and for taking time to relax and rejuvenate 🎉❤ Sarra, I love hearing the joy and excitement in your voice! Please count me in if you do create a book club for the craft of writing 😊🌻🌵❤

[@jenalang6065]

I love your craft book club idea!

[@PinkHawk191]

I am doing well using my journals. It's helping me to cope with my mental health. I am enjoying the Passover holiday.I would use the notebook for my health since I am more symptomatic.

[@Pharm2be]

Your journey has been really inspiring to watch. I’m on year seven of college, studying for my doctorate and I am so drained. I’ve lost sight of all my hobbies and your writer reset is helping with my entire life reset that happens to include writing. 😂

[@cate5029]

Woohoo! 🎉 The Notebook challenge! I love the book box for curated black lit! Looks fantastic!

[@kimbare7434]

So glad you're getting (me) time for yourself and the family. Definitely tell in your smiles that it's working ❤ Have a Blessed month.

[@estrick4854]

What a fun video! I always feel like I've had a mini-vacation after a notebook challenge!

[@valerie33]

i love watching you talk about all your notebooks!

[@amandamccauley4839]

A bookclub sounds so much fun!

[@authoramandamccormick]

I've had to redo my office to get my writing reset

[@justaskherproductions413]

Hi, Sarra, Yes, I would L O V E to do a craft book , book club! I read craft books all the time. It would be amazing to share that journey with other writers.❤

[@princessteach]

A craft Book Club would be amazing!!!

[@JackieCastle]

Love these challenges. I also love stickers. They make a huge difference and make all that work fun.

[@jaimejofreeman3544]

Cactuses remind me of my Dad. He passed away 20yrs ago. I'd love that journal. Super cute 😊

[@francineh.7825]

I also like the idea of a craft book club! If I won the journal I would use it for my garden planning.

[@vandelsoproductions]

yes to craft book bookclub!

[@kristengwenwriter]

Q2, I'm hoping, will be more productive than Q1. I felt scattered last quarter, and I'm hoping to be more focused and ready to get stuff done. Here's to a great Q2!!🎉

[@StephanieWhitson]

I really enjoyed this video and I have to add your rest break has done you so well. I can hear the rested vibe in your voice. That cactus cover is super cute.

[@christinaayala5993]

Love the notebook challenge videos! A sticker haul of the new stickers you purchased would be awesome! I’m excited for the vlogs and can’t wait to hear what’s next for you!

[@sarah_c_brody]

I already said this on the coffee chat video, but all the yes to the book club idea! I love the new EC productivity planner to, but I have no idea how to use it. My Q2 is off to a better start than Q1, which was an abysmal failure. While I was going through your fabulous new P&T videos, I decided I needed to make some decisions and am currently working on my logo with Qamber Designs, talking to editors, and getting ready to research cover artists. I was fine until overwhelm set in when I got back from NYC last week. I burned out my Woo and Empathy strengths while I was there and my Input got overloaded. Now I'm dealing with that overwhelm and I'm doing that whole "Who do I think I am writing a book? No one wants to read anything I have to say." thing and I can feel that one voice in my head getting ready to talk smack and urge me to self-sabotage. Oh! And then my wonderful husband decided he wanted to learn how to make biscotti, so now my house smells like a bakery and there are currently three containers of delicious biscotti sitting on my kitchen counter just taunting me to eat them so they can immediately turn into fat cells and migrate to my thighs. It's not like the man doesn't know I want to lose another 20 lbs, (He really is wonderful though, evil baking aside)...Anyway, that's how my Q2 is going. 🤣 And sorry for the all the run-on sentences, but it felt good to write that out. Clearly, I'm a mess!❤

[@rhiannonhart3036]

The book club sounds like a great idea!!

[@kristyhodges5442]

What a fun gardening notebook with cacti!

[@SIMulatedSara]

So glad you're getting some much-deserved rest! A craft book club sounds like fun! And I'm obsessed with Orange Umbrella Co. Have to say they're my favorite sticker company! They also have journaling kits :)

[@dinahgt]

I love the book club idea. I love the notebook and would use for my Sunday reflections.

[@raquellopez648]

Craft book club sounds amazin!! Thanks for creating the new work book Sarra.

[@hannahj4265]

❤ yes please! Love your idea for a read-a-long. I sometimes find myself unmotivated to read nonfiction, and I think if we do book club it could open up another level to glean from one another. Great idea!!

[@jeanelarson]

OMG I LOVE the cactus journal!!!

[@cindykline9379]

I would love to do the book club. I have so many craft books that I start to read, then get sidetracked. A book club would force me to keep reading. Great idea!!

[@janellesearles9011]

Downloaded the workbook. Hopefully, along with getting the hb 90 I got off of etsy, I will br able to get situated and going.

[@johanna5610]

A craftbookclub spunds very good. And the notebook with the greencolors is so spring-like....I want to use it for writing ideas. So fresh... creates fresh ideas.. thanks for this vlog!

[@cheyennedealy809]

Oh my goodness. I love the cacti notebook. It looks so fun. Green is my favorite color. Thanks for all of the writer reset information. I found it very helpful.

[@see_zee_read6657]

You always make me want to go and somehow use all my notebooks at once, lol. The cactus one is so cute!

[@CraftingVicky]

I always love to watch you and see what you use.

[@PaulaScardamalia]

Craft book club sounds fun...

[@Road2Peachtree]

YES to craft book book club!

[@jenniferglover6417]

Always love your content! You are very inspiring! Cute cactus 🌵 notebook, how fun!

[@JayneWilliamson-Lee-gv7fj]

Yes to a craft book club!

[@inkandpenadventures]

Yes, I love the idea of a craft book book club!

[@joannalewis9441]

Oh I’d love to see a sticker haul video, also a video on how you use the stickers (I’m stuck on just using happy planner box stickers lol) thanks for the inspiration 💜

[@nadinewaymyers]

Yes, would love a craft book, book club!

[@loca4crafts]

Such a cute notebook. It would be great for morning pages.

[@stephanie0311]

That cactus notebook is the cutest thing! I love it!

[@marchmuffin]

I need a notebook to vent quietly at work, those cacti look perfect 😅

[@augustinaiturra8037]

Thank you for the Writer Reset!! I'm so excited for it! I'm a full adult that loves stickers, so I'd be very into a sticker haul video. Another great video, thank you for the amazing content!!

[@WriterCeceKeys]

I love the new video format and the book club idea for craft books is a great idea! And I absolutely love the book box for black lit. ❤️ 💋

[@DeborahCarrAuthor]

Thanks for another brilliant inspirational post. I love what you say about not beating ourselves up over things we don't achieve and also about being able to come back to those notebooks that we haven't used as much as we initially thought we might. Gorgeous nails, too!

[@LivToRead8]

Love the idea of a writing craft book club!

[@dianagarland4907]

I absolutely love a writing craft bookclub idea. I was using my old Passion Planner as a way to track what I've been learning from my craft studies. :)

[@miesje1984]

A craft book club would be anazing!

[@lizziestarr]

I'm working on an enviromental reset. I love calling it that because it's easier to get busy than if I call it cleaning or organizing. 😉 I'd enjoy a craft book club. I have a lot of books and need the encouragement to do more reading. Thanks as always for your honesty and encouragement. ♥

[@BrekkeEl]

Love the idea of a craft book club! This quarter I’m prepping to launch my very first indie pub book! Writing book 2 in the series (wolf shifters in the American Cicil War), and learning how to build up a platform for launch. Terrified and excited.

[@Vanessa-sg6lk]

I completely agree with you. Having stickers that you love and a notebook or planner that makes you happy really does motivate you to keep track of everything going on in your life. May we keep moving forward and reach our goals.

[@katfaitour9009]

I love the idea of having a notebook with craft book notes (and an index, for me)--thanks!

[@quartkneek3670]

I love the idea of a book club that only reads craft books - I'd definitely sign up for that. Also, sign me up for the giveaway entry. I love that cactus notebook. so cute.

[@portialeivette]

I love the book club idea! Thank you for creating the Reset journal. I am in the same boat struggling with getting motivated to sit in front of my laptop.

[@Nike8437]

The book club idea sounds really interesting...

[@darbycallahan4962]

appreciate these videos so much; am having to do a writer reset following trying to deal with death of a loved one following long period of illness. Anxious to see more guidance on reset.

[@HeartBreathings]

Sending you love. I'm sorry to hear of your loss.

[@JoaniesWorld]

Trying to catch up with you again. Love watching you. So much inspiration.

[@rosannebowman2592]

That's such a cute notebook. My book is actually off with my editor this month, and I am helping my mom who had back surgery this week. In my free time I am reading a craft book and I am playing around with ideas for book 3.
