A New Year, A New Nap Schedule
2024 is the year of the nap, going back to bed after showering, and sketching obsessively.
Welcome to The Nibbler by me, Jill Myer, a bi-weekly brief focusing on art, inspiration, creativity, snacks, and joy.
Good morning, Nibblers and
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
I’m going to point you stright to the blog as I dive into my new year rituals and plans for the year.
I love the new year!
Do you?
What rituals do you ring in the new year with?
Let’s discuss!
ON THE BLOG / VLOG
WELCOME 2024!
I relish the rituals around the new year. Do you?
I love finding a new planner, setting it up, and writing all the birthdays and anniversaries of my favorite people and events.
(Okay, yes, I’ve had a new planner since September 2023, but now I get to USE it, and that excites me so much!)
Creating a new journal, in which the first page is a letter to my future self about my hopes, dreams, goals, and wishes for the next 365 days.
Cleaning the house, making donation piles, loading up the car, and making the donation.
Which is, in reality, making space in our life to breathe and not be so hemmed in by stuff.
How do we accumulate so much random stuff?
I swear I didn’t buy any of it; it just appeared….
MY FAVORITE SNACK
It’s pie season, and pumpkin is my absolute favorite, but it must have two specific qualities to qualify as a favorite snack.
It has to have so much ginger, clove, & cinnamon spice that it burns a little bit.
And it MUST be topped with fresh whipped cream from the mixer. I can’t with cans of stale air and overly sweetened milk substance. 🤢
TODAY I LEARNED
How to make a template for Goodnotes
And I am happy to share it with you as a happy new year gift!
I use Goodnotes on my iPad for all things written.
I have my journal in goodnotes as well as planning and brainstorming documents, and class notes. I even load my knitting patterns into it.
It’s my favorite!
*Not sponsored, but I wish it was ha!
Feel free to forward this email if you want to share the journal template with a friend, and if you are so inclined encourage them to subcribe to the ridiculousness that is The Nibbler!
You can print this template, or if you want to load it into Goodnotes you just click the little page with a + icon and choose import or image depending on how you save it when downloading the tamplate from Canva.
Happy New YEAR!
