How I’m Resetting My Systems This September
Life Has Been Life-ing, And That’s Okay
If you’ve been following me for a while, you may have noticed things have been quieter lately. Truth is, life has been life-ing, and I had to hit pause. Not for drama or reinvention, just space honestly. But now that September is here, I’m leaning into a soft reset. A realignment. A recommitment to systems that support me, not stress me.
What I’m Using to Reset: Tools + Flow
I’m not rebuilding from scratch. I’m refining what already works:
Notion is now my base for scheduling, tracking habits, and mapping out goals
GoodNotes 6 is my space for memory-keeping, reflection, and creative journaling
Canva and Adobe Express are staying in rotation for content batching and aesthetic storytelling
I recently purchased a Notion template called “Ultimate That Girl Life OS” on Etsy, it’s been a game changer thus far. I’ve been customizing it to fit my life: adjusting the schedule blocks, redefining habits that matter to me right now, and integrating it with my digital planning rhythm.
Content Creation, But Softer
The return of J Lorrain Studio (Instagram, Website, and now Substack) doesn’t mean daily posts or burning out to stay visible. It means more meaningful content, things I actually want to create. You’ll see planning tips, iPad workflows, and behind-the-scenes from my favorite tools. But you’ll also see more real moments, because that’s what we need more of online.
If you want to follow my slower content journey, I’ve also launched a Substack, a space where I plan to share reflections, digital planning prompts, and seasonal resets in real-time.
My September Intentions
Here’s what I’m focused on this month:
Showing up, even if it’s not perfect
Refining my content flow (especially for Instagram and Substack)
Working on my second business The V.A. Cafe
Sticking to simple systems I actually use
Creating from a place of clarity, not chaos
I don’t need to finish the year with a bang. I just want to finish it feeling proud.
Want to Reset Too?
If you're ready to get back on track (but gently), I’ve got you. Stick around for new content drops, helpful templates, and reflections that feel like a deep breath.
Welcome to September, Chapter 9 of 12. Let’s make it count.
Until Next Time,
Bye!
