Time Management-Simple Tips to Better Manage Your Daily Schedule

​The idea of time management can sometimes sound overwhelming and technical. However, when we take the time to think about what needs to be done in our lives and plan when those things will get done, we will usually get most of the things done as well as having less mental strain in our brain!

Planning can be the key to not only getting things done, but also eliminating mental stress. I encourage people to take time each week to look at what activities are coming up, errands that need to be done, and things that need to be purchased. Look at your weekly schedule and determine when the best time will be to get these tasks done.

Can you make phone calls while you sit in the car line after school? Can you take care of several errands on one day? Can you delegate to someone else in your family? Answers to these questions before your week begins will surely allow you to rest easy knowing that these things are already planned. No more waiting until Friday to discover that you forgot to do something.

Another thing that I know has helped me is to have a Desk Day. On Desk Day I sit at my computer and get things done that are on the internet. I make phone calls, and even pay bills. Setting this time aside each week helps me to focus on the tasks at hand. I usually plan this at the beginning of the week. I would much rather get things finished at the beginning of my week instead of leaving them to the end of the week. I call this Front Loading my week. Since we don’t know what may happen that will derail our plans, the sooner things get done, the better!

The tool I use that has literally changed my life is the Sunday Basket. This system has changed how I look at all the things. I don’t worry about losing papers…or my mind! This weekly planning time allows me to enjoy my week, get it done, and eliminates me trying to remember all the things I have to do!

Enjoy  3 Tips to help you manage your daily schedule:
  •  Front Load your week
  •  Plan your phone calls, errands, and tasks with a calendar
  •  Have a Desk Day – and use a Sunday Basket

Happy New Year - What is Your Adventure?

1/3/2020

Happy New Year!  We not only are embarking on a new year, but we are also moving into a new decade.  I wonder what we will all be doing ten years from now! This new year is a time for us to dream.  Dream about what we want our lives to look like. And in order for changes to happen, we have to take action, and this involves planning.

Have you thought about what you want to do this year as well as what you don't want to do?  You can either look at 2020 as a year to try new things and see what works.  This means that this year can be an adventure!  In order for this adventure to go anywhere, what steps to you need to take to try new things? 
  • schedule time to try something
  • ask a friend or family member to join you - you can make new memories!
  • surround yourself with people who are positive, encouraging, and who have your best interest at heart
  • choose to do something even when you are afraid - you might surprise yourself and love it
  • make a vision board - seeing what you really want to do keeps that in the forefront of your mind - seeing is believing :)
As you think about the adventures you would like to have - what tools do you need to make them happen?  Do you have the time, energy, and mental bandwidth to walk towards your adventures?  Here are some things to think about.
  1. Plan your time.  Use a calendar and write everything down that you need to do.  This eliminates forgetting things.
  2. Increase your energy.  Make sure that you are getting adequate sleep, eating well, and doing some kind of movement.  These things together will help you gain mental, physical, and emotional strength.
  3. Exercise your mind.  This can be done by feeding your mind with good information.  Read a book that helps you to grow.  If you don't like reading, listen to an audiobook or podcast.  And, take time to rest your mind.  There is so much information, that we also need to take a break from information overload.

I would love to hear what area of organization will make the most impact for you.  Is it organizing your home, your paper, or your time? I would love to hear what you would like support with this year so you can take a new adventure. :)

    I coach busy, tired, and overwhelmed women who struggle with "winning at work and losing at home".  We work together to transform your life from chaotic to calm.  De-cluttering your home, paper piles, and over-flowing schedule will you the confidence, time an energy to do what God created for you to do. 

    I am a Christian, wife, and mom to six :)  I've struggled with feelings of hopelessness, depression, and overwhelm. I know first-hand that life can be really hard.  I also know that when you have someone walking along side of you, changing things in your life is so much easier.  We all need someone to walk beside us.  Let's Do It Together!
