Planning For You??
Planning is one of the most important things you can do for becoming organized. It is a skill and something you get better at as you practice it.

Plan your day on paper for both home and the office. Create a To Do list with the specific tasks that need to be completed. And plan out how much time you will need to do them. Prioritize what items are the most important to get done first. When I give priority to clearing those things out of the way that I don’t like to do. I work on saving the best for last. Just one solution to avoid procrastinating. It’s easy to use the excuse that now I’m too tired, because we all know that we make time for the things we enjoy.

And now √check it off your list. Enjoy the sense of accomplishment.
Plan your meals. Once you determine what you are going to have for dinner for the week, you can make a list and pick up all of your needed groceries well ahead of time.You can schedule the meals that take a little bit longer to prepare, on those evenings when your schedule is not too full, and schedule quick meals on those nights when you have a limited amount of time.
Set goals and deadlinesOnce you come up with your goals, simplify them by breaking them into mini-goals, with a deadline for each. Watch your time. Again, schedule how much time you feel is required to complete each task. Set timer to keep you on track.
If you know you’re doing the most important things for you that cuts out a whole lot of potential guilt and worry. I stress important to you…this is your list of things. It only matters what you value as important to you and your family.
