My cactus must be about ten years old, and after a period of dormancy, it always takes me by surprise when it blooms. The flowers are such a happy yellow colour. They always make me smile.

Here we are well into January and I haven’t heard anyone discussing NY resolutions. Have you set any goals for this year?
I’m not into it myself, only because I’m a list writing type of gal and I normally have three going all the time. I find it quite motivating to list and prioritise what I want to achieve, short and long term, and I love when I get to cross off an item. So satisfying!
So a once-a-year list would never work for me.
My lists on the go are shopping, gardening and craft which are all on my phone, giving me instant access. Very important when you actually get to complete something.
If you want to check out the apps, I use “Out of Milk” for shopping and “To Do List” for everything else. Pretty simple. I’m sure there are plenty more, but these ones suit me. For someone who doesn’t have a particularly good memory, it all makes me look quite efficient and keeps me motivated and on track at the same time. That has to be a win-win!
