I’ve never been much of a person who enjoys routine. I’ve never been one to
really schedule my every day. I mean, I have things that I like to do every day,
certain things that are just a part of my daily routine. Those things are so
natural to me that they just happen. I don’t really need to make those things
happen. I prefer not to make anything happen, truthfully. I mostly just like
taking my day as it comes.
really hard to feel like I have accomplished anything at the end of the day. My
time is very much consumed by a little three month old. Don’t get me wrong, I love
it, but I would like not to be at the end of my day feeling like I didn’t
accomplish half of what I wished I would have.
time to sit down and look at my days and see where I have time and what I can
do in with that time. I know that I need to be flexible at the same time as
well. With a baby, days can’t always be predictable, but I am lucky enough to
have him on a schedule right now that is pretty regular day to day.
I can do from home. I am so blessed to have a job that allows for me to stay
home with Jase, even more of a reason to need to be proactive with my time. I am learning that if I don’t take control
of my day and my time, then my day is going to take over my time. My
devotion time is all over the place right now, and my house could really use
some TLC (part of the reason is it’s still out of sorts because we’re still
finishing up unpacking here and there).
Being a mom is a full time job. I feel like I’m feeding
around the clock right now. But there’s more that I need to do alongside of
being a mom. I have ministry, I have a house to keep up with, I have my
devotions, I have this blog, I have a husband, and I have myself. So maybe it’s
time to take control of my time before it takes control of me. It may take a
couple weeks for me to sit down and work out what my time will be, but I know
it will be good for me.
in my house. I think it will be a great way to keep track of what I need to do
on a daily basis and keep things organized.
I love that little command center! Makes the organizer in me very excited ;-p
I do NOT have a good organizing system.
In desperation the other day, I wrote down every I wanted to do, needed to do, etc. on separate index cards. I don't know if it helped, and I don't know how I'm going to USE those cards…but it felt good ;-p
