I want to share with you a little trick I use when selecting the meals we are going to have each week.

January 08, 2024 34 | How to Use a Paper Planner and a Google Calendar Effectively to Get Organized and Get Things Done!
Are you a paper planner or digital calendar person? What if I told you that you didn’t have to pick a side and you can actually use BOTH!

I love the creativity and the sense of calming that comes with writing in a paper planner, but I also love the convenience and accessibility of my Google calendar! Over time I have figured out a way that works for me to be able to utilize both in a way that works really well to help me get organized and accomplish my goals, WITHOUT having to keep up with scheduling in both places!

My digital calendar is my main schedule with my time commitments, and my paper planner helps lay out my day stack and acts as more of a guide for me to reach my goals for the week.

The pair together are a match made in heaven!

Grab a paper and pen (and your paper planner and digital calendar) and let’s start planning!

January 04, 2024 33 | Use My Time Blocking Method to Organize Your Day Without Feeling Restricted
If you feel like you are running ragged every day just trying to keep up with all of your responsibilities and obligations, I can relate! When I first started timeblocking, I realized my days were starting at 5:30am and ending around 10pm (without breaks) and I would be ending the day completely exhausted and feeling like I still didn’t accomplish everything I needed to do. This was also during a time that I didn’t have a morning routine yet so everything was taking my energy and I wasn’t prioritizing the time to get reenergized either. It was a constant state of “feeling behind” and feeling completely overwhelmed.

This timeblocking practice helped me reorganize my day to be able to focus on my priorities and also be more productive with my responsibilities. I was able to be more efficient and productive while opening up SPACE in my day.

When you start doing this, you can actually get more done while feeling MORE rested - it’s magic!

So let’s talk through it!

December 28, 2023 31 | The #1 Thing to Do NOW to Guarantee a Financially Stress-Free Christmas Next Year
I hope you had a wonderful Christmas!

Unfortunately, one sad thing about this season is that a lot of people tend to get very stressed this time of year because of the extra expenses. My husband and I used to feel the same way! But over the years, we have found our perfect after-Christmas tradition that has served us well! I want to share it with you so you can always enjoy the holiday and have fun celebrating the birth of our Lord, rather than being stressed about how you are going to pay for it all.

You’re going to want to grab a pen and paper for this one! :)

Let’s get started!

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
