A Kick Up The Bum I Need Your Help!

To welcome in the month of September, how is it September already (how very cliche of me), I thought Id share a little reader survey in hope that you guys will fill it in. Ive been thinking of doing one for a few weeks, to help get a better understanding of who my audience is, the things you enjoy reading and opinions on Nimble Note as a whole.

Recently, Ive been feeling a little unsure about the content on Nimble Note. What I mean is, I enjoy blogging but lately Ive felt in a little bit of a rut as well as feeling a little apprehensive about sharing content. For example, Ive had/have ideas but cannot find the right words to formulate those ideas into a post, or sometimes feel as though the content wont be appreciated or received in the way Id like, or that the content is too generic or too little effort.

Im not writing that as a way to make you answer a certain way on the survey, I just wanted to explain the reason behind conducting one. I love blogging. I love having this Hannah Montana life where I have my own little creative bubble on the internet, that family and friends dont know about. But a little feedback on the bubble and guidance on where to take it would be greatly appreciated.

September is a busy month for me as Im trying my hardest to finish up a project, Ive been working on since the beginning of July, as well as trying to prepare for moving away to university. Ive got some content ideas lined up for the remainder of the month, so that Im prepared, but Id like to keep up this scheduling malarkey afterwards as well - so you could say that this survey is kinda like the kick up the bum for Nimble Note (I already made some changes to the design after much deliberation and procrastination).

Sharing Some Blogging Love

Todays post wasnt meant to be this. I had another in mind, but I just couldnt formulate my thoughts into sentences or even words - which is one of the most frustrating things I regularly come across. Who knows if those thoughts will ever become a post? Maybe they arent meant to be. But instead of dwelling on it, I thought I would share some posts Ive enjoyed reading in the past few weeks and share a bit of blogging love.

Lucid Dreaming: A Beginners Guide

Ive often heard references to lucid dreaming, but had no idea that you could train yourself to do it! After reading Tegans post, I have begun putting the steps into practice firstly by dream journalling. It cant say Ive got into the habit of waking up and automatically jotting down dreams just yet, but Im going to try my hardest to as I love reading back over them and remembering them - even though its only been a week, its surprising how fast you actually forget dreams. Have you ever tried or experienced lucid dreaming?

How to Define Success for You

This is just one of those posts you need. A nice little pick me up post. Do I need to say anymore?!

Friendship

I really related to this post by Lauren and let me tell you how good that feels, to know you arent the only one feeling a certain way; when sometimes it feels like you are. It was almost like she wrote from my mind! 

15 Unforgettable Bucket List Trips You Can Do On A Budget

Ive wanted to travel for quite some time now. I love pinning cute little destinations or travel tips on pinterest, it just makes you want to hope on a plane or train and take off for a while. Ive recently got into watching psychotraveller on youtube, she shares tips for travelling cheap which are very helpful as it is the only way Id be able to do it. 

A few weeks ago, I was actually so close to booking a flight to Amsterdam for either £71 or £91 (I cant remember) and then a hostel for 2 nights for £47?!? But I opted out because Id be going by myself which I didnt want to do because 1) Id prefer to go with someone else for safety reasons, especially if it was my first time travelling and 2) I have no idea about airports and flying as Ive only flown once and that was in a school group so checking in was in a big group. But hopefully I will be able to plan sometime maybe for next year!
