She’s the fuckin epitome of Planning Karen. Never gets owt done, but has an organized themed calendar and green and orange-coloured gel pens, with little drawings to match entries.
The Good Intentions Graveyard is filled with twee little schedulers done up with neat little colour-coded notes, none of which ever get done past Day Two because the people who make them just soak their panties over the actual planning stages, and then give up once the work changes from “write things in alternating coloured pens” to, you know...actual work.
I’m fairly certain that the amount of work you actually accomplish regularly is inversely proportionate to the amount of doodled and colour-coded neat little organized schedules that you make. The most successful people just write things down and get on with it.
Sir/Ma'am Karen, I humbly disagree. I believe the decorativeness of planning can be more indicative of personal preference than actual motivation.
If we look closely there are clues about Chantal's artistic choices that hints to us the type of planner she is that ultimately reflects the kind of doer she is. If I may draw your attention to 5 pieces of key evidence to support my claim:
Chantal's "planning" as she has shown us consists of -
1 - a normal-sized calendar that was probably conveniently nearby rather than say an Excel spreadsheet or a large whiteboard for easier visibility, greater detail, and easier to make changes as needed.
2 - she has included that shitty fucking tree ornament as an easy way to convey theme. There is nothing else artistically framed in the image showing a lack of foreplanning in itself and lack of creativity.
3 - she has photographed and posted the calendar before even 50% being done showing a lack of discipline and need for attention.
4 - she has angled the photo in such a way we can see what she has written and now know thanks to a detective Kiwi above she has plans to murder someone or something either in a pumpkin patch or dispose of the evidence in a pumpkin patch.
5 - what is that handwriting.
I believe if Chantal's notes and photo of such were indeed more aesthetically pleasing it would indeed reflect a greater ability for planning and motivation that would lead to better outcomes.
