Get organized and inspired with motivation magnets!
I'm super organized when it comes to work but always kicking myself for not spending time doing the creative things I love, like crafting, practising music and blogging. I decided to tape part of my whiteboard off and turn it in to a creativity calendar and make some motivational magnets, to make sure I'm spending more time doing each of the things I love.

    Decide each of the activities that you'd like to make magnets for - sewing, cooking, writing, scrapbooking etc. and list them down. Your magnets need to be inspiring, so pick a photo to represent each activity. I scoured Pinterest for images that made me feel motivated.

It's like a sheet of card with a really thin sheet of magnet behind it. You can put it through your printer like a normal piece of paper!
