I consider Tuesdays my “Let’s Bake a Pie Day!" Why you ask? Well, it’s because I don’t have a set chore for Tuesdays, I guess it’s my free day. If I end up having the kind of day I had yesterday, Tuesday ends up being my “make-up” day. Whatever I didn’t finish on Monday I finish on Tuesday. Tuesday is also the day I sit down and take a look at my week to see how slow or chaotic it could be. The magic word here is “could”, it’s up to me and how well I work on my list and how I follow it that will determine if my week goes smoothly or chaotic (I pray smoothly).
Here is my Tuesday to do list:
Shower/Wash-up, Make-up, Hair, Dress to Shoes!
I tidy up my bathroom as I go along
Make my bed
Eat Breakfast
Quiet time with the Lord (Devotion)
Check items for Dinner, thaw if necessary.
Check for Trouble spots and clear them!
Finish whatever I didn’t get to finish from my Beautify my home Mondays list
1 Load of laundry from start to finish
Work on your Weekly List
As you can see it’s the same every Morning! Practice makes…habit.
When I’m done with my Morning To do List I start on my Weekly list… Get your pens and paper ready, because this is all for you do to!
Today I want you to think about the things you need to get done every week. Years ago when I first started to use this system, I used Index Cards, then I switched to a small 3 ring binder, today with smart phones I can just use my iphone! It’s up to you and however you fill comfortable, the important thing is that you write down the things you know need to get done!
After you have a list of everything you have to do, take out your calendar for the week and write down when they have to get done and when you want some of them to get done.
Example:
Monday: Beautify your Home
Tuesday: Work on Weekly List
Wednesday: Balance check book, Make grocery list, clean bathroom, etc.
Thursday: Errands day, Grocery store, return library books, dry cleaners, post office, etc.
Friday: Water plants, work on yard, clean refrigerator, Date night, school project, etc.
Saturday:
Sunday:
Do you get the idea? Try it for just One week and see what happens??? Knowing what you have to do everyday helps you schedule your daily life better. I never knew how chaotic my life was until I tried this system for just One week!
Now...Try making an appointment for yourself, something you enjoy doing. My daughter and I just found this fabulous Antique store and we can’t wait to go back! Well, I am inking myself (not pencil in) onto my weekly list, to make sure we go back this week! I can’t wait!!!!
I am linked to this awesome party!!!
