So thankful that you have less pain!

[@HowToGYST]

🥰 Same!!!

[@_Amy]

A good way to make your food the same but different is to use the other variation of an ingredient. If you only use one kind of potatoes, onion,,mushrooms, beans, pasta, cheeses, try switching for a different one, it will give you a slight change up. For. Example instead of spaghetti noodles try penne but keep the rest of the recipe the same. Another thing is to add a new ingredient to something you already like. Try savory veggies in your scrambled eggs like onions, garlic, zucchini, mushrooms, spinach, or add a diced meat

[@kat5000]

Thanks for sharing - and so glad you are having less pain! I am very much a paper planner.... And 2024 is just soooo tempting for any perfectionist tendencies to come through, starting on a Monday and having the bonus day in February 🙈 Setting up my December in my planner while watching this... So yeah. Would much prefer to do next year in a hotel room without distractions as well 😂❤❤❤

[@emmkaa2099]

Less pain for you... I'm so glad. I, too, deal with chronic pain... am I out of line in asking what medication your doctor has put you on? As it happens, I'm seeing my doctor tomorrow about this exact thing. Thank you in advance! Hugs from the southern California desert, MK 🤗❤️🌵❤️🤗

[@sourgreendolly7685]

Thank you for sharing this concept! It makes so much sense that it sounds obvious to me once I hear it. ...but sometimes I literally lose things right in front of me and then I need someone to point it out 😂 I'm going to start BuJo so that I have freedom to adjust but I've still had this starting anxiety stopping me. The second I read the thumbnail, I realized I can even do it in an older notebook if it's making me anxious to start in my "official" one. I'm so excited now! 😊

[@HowToGYST]

Oh yes, an old notebook will work just fine. 😁

[@TheMinimalistTherapist]

SO helpful Laura ❤ I've also been thinking about commitment to my core values in relation to goal setting and motivation.

[@HowToGYST]

Truly important for those times we need a little extra grit.

[@TheMinimalistTherapist]

@@HowToGYST Yes. When I'm working with clients on increasing motivation, it's sometimes surprising to clients that they've never really intentionally sat and thought about, identified and named their core values. I find it a great reminder to refocus on my own too! I wonder what Jovie's would be?! My dogs core values are fun, loyalty, acceptance and chicken!

[@HowToGYST]

Jovie's core values are safety, snuggles, sniffs, and snacks.

[@TheMinimalistTherapist]

@@HowToGYST Beautiful 😍

[@GSDsforever]

I am a total list maker. And I love the idea of "Dry Run December." I will check out your planner, tho I prefer a paper one. Plus, your hair is looking so cute growing out!

[@HowToGYST]

Thank youuu!

[@uneekaairamas]

My chronic pain is also under control! Yieeiiiii! So happy for you! I have my December one and I love it now getting 2024 planner!

[@HowToGYST]

Ah, THRILLED you have your pain under control. It's a wonderful feeling! And YAY for the planner. I hope it captures some wonderful adventures for you.

[@JasmineBrownOttawa]

OK I really like a lot of the ideas for planning out the next year. But why I am commenting is, Yes you should definitely come to Canada! 🍁

[@HowToGYST]

Hoping to make it happen!

[@porcelina956]

Getting my paper planner ready for 2024 I can only handle so much screen time. I look at my 2023 goals and think I did ok next year do better at least go away on vacation no more staycation.

[@HowToGYST]

Do you have somewhere specific in mind?

[@porcelina956]

@@HowToGYST At lesst out of state try for Salem, Ma or Chicago Il, I would like to go to Ireland but see how that goes.

[@HowToGYST]

Would highly recommend Ireland. 😉

[@findingaway5512]

Your dream sounds like my nightmare. 😂 I will say though that the hotel bit away sounds lovely and room service. The planning everything out not so much. 🤣

[@HowToGYST]

Really it's all about the room service. 😂

[@findingaway5512]

I like keeping track on days I have specific pains. And even moods/ brain function/ when I feel like I am spiraling. I just have been putting little faces or one word notes on my wall calendar.

[@findingaway5512]

I just do it if it is annoying enough I think to mark it. I am not great at tracking but it definitely is helpful to see patterns on how I feel and why.

[@HowToGYST]

Yes, I did this last year with little emojis in my digital planner. Maybe not the most helpful overall but certainly fun!

[@hopesings4544]

What computer program is that?

[@HowToGYST]

I'm using my digital planner in the Notability app.

[@devGATE024]

Really excited for my dry run December, really a great idea to adopt good habits before new year comes, I am a last year college student life is getting bit rough which motivated to prepare myself for the comeback I need in 2024.

[@HowToGYST]

Exiting year ahead for you! Best of luck!

[@findingaway5512]

Ahhh yes older and wiser. Its amazing what knowing your self and reality can teach you. And ways to work with life becuse we all know it isnt perfect. I am always impressed by your progress and goals and things you achieve. You are always moving forward.

[@HowToGYST]

Trying to, at least. 😂

[@ellenruths]

what platforms can I use this app on?

[@HowToGYST]

You'll need some form of note-taking app, like Notability, Goodreads, Xodo, etc. The planner comes in PDF format so any app that allows you to write on a PDF. 🙂

[@PhoebesWorldProductions]

oh! that's a great idea! 😃 (and great ideas and tips for the planning of the dry run, too.) 😃👍🏼

[@HowToGYST]

Glad it was helpful! 😁

[@PhoebesWorldProductions]

😉

[@lindamusser7370]

I like the idea of a dry run in December. That is the best way to plan meals!

[@HowToGYST]

I've never been good at strict meal planning so I'm trying to give myself a lot of flexibility, while still hopefully getting some of the benefit.

[@lindamusser7370]

@@HowToGYST I write down what we eat every day. When I look back, I have meal ideas. Meal planning the usual way causes things to go wrong. 😉

[@HowToGYST]

Oh I like that idea!
