November 18, 2024 123 | 4 Reasons Starting with ONE Routine Will Help with Consistency (even when you’ve never been consistent before)
Do you often find yourself feeling stressed out and overwhelmed and when you come to the end of your rope, you want to throw your hands up and say “Screw it! Something needs to change!” So you get super excited about making changes to finally get organized. You sit down and spend some time laying out this whole big plan on how your life is going to look. You decide you’re going to start getting up early, you’ll go to the gym five days a week, you are going to have home cooked meals every night. This time…THIS time…it IS going to work.

Until it doesn’t.

The first few days are amazing. You feel like you have your life figured out. You are getting enough sleep, your house is staying clean, you’re even enjoying cooking dinner each night. Then something happens. The dog gets sick. Someone backs into your car. Your dentist appointment takes longer than you planned. And once something throws a wrench into your perfectly laid out plans, everything crumbles.

This story might be an exaggeration (or 100% spot on and may have actually happened to me in the past). If you find yourself in a situation like this, I want you to know there is still hope! You CAN get your life in order and it’s not as exhausting as you think. But it’s important to know how to start so that you can be consistent and the changes you make actually stick.

So let's get to it!

About The Routine Advantage | Simple Habits, Routines and Systems to Get Your Life Organized, Build Consistency and Reduce Overwhelm

From the publisher's feed

- RANKED A TOP 2.5% PODCAST GLOBALLY-

Are you going to bed at night thinking about your never-ending to-do list and already stressing about tomorrow?

Waking up exhausted and…

relying on coffee to get through your day?

Are you making multiple trips to the store each week, stressing about what to make for dinner each night, spending too much money on groceries and take out, and feeling frazzled about paying bills on time?

I'm Renae Matt and I've been where you are! I work full-time, I'm growing my own business, and I still want to spend quality date nights with my husband. Over the years I got so tired of the housework, the bills, and the never-ending list of things to do. I was trying to keep track of it all. It was overwhelming and I felt like I had no time left to ENJOY life.

Over time, I began to build simple routines to get organized. I set up the framework to have a foundation of routines that I can fall back on even when everything else feels like it's falling apart.

On this podcast, I share what I have learned so YOU can also build these five foundational routines that can transform your life, too!

• A MORNING ROUTINE to take care of YOU first so you can begin each day feeling fulfilled and show up better for those around you.

• A MEAL PLANNING ROUTINE to reduce the frustration and simplify dinner time.

• A "DAILY 7" HOME ROUTINE to keep a tidy home without wasting weekends cleaning and catching up on laundry.

• A MOVEMENT ROUTINE so you can feel rejuvenated and get your energy back!

• AN EASY BUDGET ROUTINE to create a plan for your money and help you get out of debt, get rid of money stress, and save for your dreams.

Our lives are busy, but they don't have to be overwhelming. When we can get these five foundational routines in place, you will have a system set up to help reduce the stress and give you your time back! I'm here to help you build these simple routines so that they can change your life, too.

You might think this isn't the right time because you are too busy to change something, but friend… when you feel TOO BUSY to prioritize your LIFE...that is when you know something NEEDS to change.

We can't get lost time back and God didn't create us to live our lives checking off boxes and drowning in errands.

So let's TAKE BACK YOUR TIME.

Instead of spending your evenings stressed about all the tasks you didn't get to, you will be able to spend those nights having fun with your family. Go for an evening walk, do a game night, find a hobby, or have a date night with your hubby.

When you get your life organized, you get your life back. THAT is the Routine Advantage.

xo,
Renae
