✚ If you’re all burned out on creative ideas use this this trick from The Middle Finger Project to short circuit yourself back into the zone.
✚ Girl Scout cookie sales are moving online! Girl Scout cookie sales are moving online!! I mean, I love salad.
✚ Are you going to be alone these holidays? Missing someone you love, or someone you lost? Get through the holidays in one piece, no matter how you’re spending them.
✚ Have you been holding back from being active because you feel guilty or like you’re behind? Yoga doesn’t care – and neither does spin class, your treadmill, or gym. Stop rationalizing, and start acting!
✚ Facebook updated their privacy settings. Again! Fast Company has the few key details you need to stay on top of the changes.
✚ Your creative calendar for December is full of movies in theatres, movies to watch at home, albums you should hear, TV to watch, books to read, places to go and weird holidays to celebrate. With all this and the holidays, you can absolutely justify doing Chinese food for Christmas.
✚ This post on how to manage anxiety while running your own business is full of great advice you can put into action today.
✚ Before the new year arrives you can brush up on the top memes of 2014. Sochi, Turnup for what, and the distribution of tweets on Serial (including my favourite: the theory that the “Mail Kimp” girl from the ad did it!)
Last Week:
✓ Officially announce the new KylaRoma.com & the end of Freckled Nest Design. It felt great to announce and bring everyone in on what’s been happening behind the scenes. And The Brave Creative Workshop group on Facebook went from 1 member to 107 in a week! If you want to talk business and blogging, join up!
✖ Put Planner Camp back on sale.
This Week:
▢ Put Planner Camp back on sale. This week got away from me! There has been so much administrative work with separating the businesses that I prioritized my design client work this work – and then I remembered that I had to fess up here! Next week, it’s happening.
I too love Girl Scout cookies, but I would recommend you read this before you buy any online:

Makes me *super* sad, since there must be a better solution.
Wow, thanks for the heads up Amy! What a bizarre situation – I was excited about the idea of not having to ask around for kids of friends who are selling, but it seems like that’s definitely still the best option.
I don’t know the details about Planner Camp, but I’m pretty sure I need it!
This week I want to nail down an action plan and start getting the foundation for an amazing 2015 in place.
Thanks Sara! I’d love to have you – it should be on sale by Saturday at the latest and if you sign up for the waiting list at PlannerCamp.com you’ll be the first to know. I have that same “let’s get organized and down to business” feeling right now too! :)
LOL! Big lol on the Mail Kimp conspiracy theory! I didn’t know that had gone viral… every week, I coo and giggle at her pronunciation… I’m not the only one!
Loved that link to the Memes :)
You are fabulous Kyla, have a great day!!!
Thanks LA! That always makes me laugh too, and when I found out that it was tearing up the internet it made it even better :)
This week? I want to finish up final papers and get through the week without buying any lattes. It’s the little things, right?
Loved the articles!
