Happy October Friend
Wow!!!! It was another fantastic weekend at a Christian Women’s Conference with one of my best friends! We don’t get to see each other too often, but we do schedule at least twice a year at conferences to catch up and I cherish every moment with her!! We grow in our faith and we get to catch up and It is always an incredible time!
I don’t know about you, but a schedule seems to backfire for me and every planner I have ever tried has never worked for me.
Prepare the week on Sunday evening with everything that is happening throughout the week along with meals, meetings, and activities so there are less surprises that come up or you feel like you are scrambling! When you have this planned, it makes each day run so much smoother.
Another key tip to time management is getting up early! If you follow what successful people do, they do not sleep in! When I sleep in until 6:30, I feel like I practically lost half of the day! So this tip is to create a morning routine that you can do every day and get up early!
It is really easy to put something away when you are done with it right away. If you choose not to do this, your house may feel like chaos at all times! If you use the blender in the morning, rinse it out and put it away. When you use your toothbrush, put it away where it belongs, it can be learned to be a regular habit just as it is to brush your teeth every morning! (or at least I hope you do!)
Create a simple way for you to keep track of what needs to be done and appointments. I can not keep a paper calendar consistently. I am that person that likes to buy them and start out the year really good, but then I don’t always have it with me when adding appointments, so I always go back to putting it on my phone calendar with alerts and that works wonderful for me! If I have to pick up something from the grocery store or make something for a potluck-it all goes into my phone calendar with an alert. It is super simple to do this and then things don’t get forgotten or late and you look organized-even if you aren’t!!!!!!
And #5-Make sure your kitchen is clean every night when you go to bed! There is nothing worse that waking up to make coffee and feeling defeated already becuse you didn’t do the dishes from the previous day and it honestly starts you off on the wrong foot!
I hope you are able to take one of these tips and start implementing it into your routine to get things done at home consistently every single day!
I would love to hear from you and get your feedback! What do you want to learn about?
