Organization & Inspiration

Hello everybody :)

Recently I redecorated my desk area because I was basically getting pretty bored with it, and I always feel like I have too much stuff to keep organized. Also, due to the fact that I am now in my second year of varsity, it's easy for me to forget to stay inspired and motivated and I'll just quickly get my work done without actually making sure I'm happy and proud of it.

I ended up printing out pictures and quotes etc that inspire me, keep me motivated and other things that make me happy and that I strive towards, and I stuck them around my work space.

So this is my desk area, if you watched my Room Tour on my YouTube channel (That Emily Jane), then you'll notice that I have now changed my whole desk area. I'm happy with how it looks at the moment, but I know I'll want to change it again pretty soon because I am SO indecisive.

Anyway, you'll probably realize that I have a few pictures of Zoella (Zoe Sugg) up on my wall. I'm not some weird obsessed chick who like stalks the woman or anything like that. No, she is just someone who really does inspire me with my creativity, YouTube, beauty and my life really. She's made a great impact on me, especially because I love YouTube and it's community, she is one of the reasons why I decided to start my channel and probably the main reason why I love makeup so much, and I learnt how to do it properly by watching her videos.

I am someone who needs to be inspired and who has to be reminded to stay motivated etc, so that I can reach my dreams and goals. These pictures have some significance to my life goals and what I'd like to achieve someday.

If you look carefully, you'll see some pictures of London, or cold weather-looking pictures, because I love cozy weather and I WILL travel to the U.K. eventually. It will happen. It's one of my biggest dreams! I also have quotes that help inspire me and keep me going, as well as beauty and fashion pictures which kind of remind me to put more of an effort into my look, and to try new things and not be lazy about it. Also, to not care or worry about other's opinions on how I look.

These are two of my notebooks (I have a bloody load of them because I can never have enough notebooks), and this is my go-to pencil bag with my flour pens and best writing pens. I use my small black moleskin journal as my bullet journal/everyday planner, and the A4 notebook is my video/blog planning book, that I only just recently purchased.

I am someone who needs to write things down, and make lists and feel organized by doing so. although I am slight unorganized because I end up using three different books for essentially the exact same purpose (only because I just love new notebooks haha), but it's a way that I feel happy with and I enjoy doing.

I have planned topics for blog posts and videos in the big book according to definite events that happen through out the year (New Years, Christmas, my birthday, Halloween etc.), and then I also have the months of each season here in South Africa, so that I can start making videos and posts based on that! It's a good way to have definite videos, and then I have a list of other types of videos and challenges that I'll slot in between these events.

Right, I am so sorry that I write so much, I just love typing and talking. I get seriously carried away... I think I should leave it at that, before this becomes far longer than it already is.

So, thanks so much for reading everyone! I will be posting more often these next few weeks because I am on holiday now YAAAY! See you soon.

Thanks so much, bye x
