We do have sports, but I try to get one afternoon weekend nap in when the house is quiet and everyone is chilling. That is precisely why I try to relax and nap on the weekends. Not to mention, trying to fit those workouts in! There’s a lot of stuff to do to keep the home and family and work life going. When I see all of these habits/routines laid out in one place it’s no wonder we often feel overworked and overwhelmed. James tuck in time – check in on James before bed, chat a bitįamily dinner – a goal, not always reality with sports and such Special mama Jordan time – 15 minutes uninterrupted time without phones, her choice Review calendar for dental/doctor visits/hair/nail appointments DAILY I have certain things I calendar in my Teux Deux app to do every week, not necessarily on the same dayĬlean front and back patios, wipe down walls/ceiling fans, railings, grill, table and chairs, sweepĭeclutter as I go, more of a daily thing SUNDAY ROUTINEĬreate blog content calendar for next month Get outside with Jordan while she plays basketball *I usually take Luke outside every time I go downstairs to eatĬhat with Rhonda about the day’s tasks – this could be a whole other post with routines for how I try on clothes, prepare Tuesday Goodies, Amazon Live, my content calendar, blog posts, collaborations, Instagram, Facebook posts, Pinterest,įor example, when I try on clothes for a dressing room post, here’s the routine: DRESSING ROOM TRY ON ROUTINEĬlothes are hung on rolling rack by retailerĪssemble head to toe outfit and accessoriesįamily dinner together, without devices, if possible Try not to eat anything after dinner, if hungry, have Greek yogurt with fruit *sometimes listen to a YouTube video while I get readyīefore or after workout depending on what time I workout Is that weird or do you do something similar? Shower – always start washing the left arm first. Get myself ready ( wash face, brush hair & teeth, put on Vitamin C serum, moisturizer, and sunscreen, mascara, get dressed in workout clothes) Jordan usually wakes up and we have some snuggle time together Weigh myself (I’m currently on a fitness challenge) I started jotting down all the routines and things that happen on a daily, weekly and monthly basis. But those goals only happen when I put daily, weekly and monthly routines in place. My goals include raising my family, taking care of my health and fitness, supporting myself and my family through my work, keeping an organized and tidy home. Systems (routines) are about the processes that lead to those results. If you read the book, Atomic Habits, you may recall these important notes: success is the product of daily habits and goals are about the results you want to achieve. These habits and routines feel like they’re on autopilot most of the time since they tend to be so familiar. Many habits and routines carry me throughout my day and help me get most of the things accomplished that I need to do. I will read or watch a video on my ipad until I fall asleep. Of course, there’s homework and dinner and cleanup and getting some play time in there too.īy the time I get my young daughter into bed, I’m usually tired too and we lay down together. Sometimes my mom helps by picking up the kids from school, sometimes it’s my turn and we also have sports practices after school. From there, I usually get a workout in, come home, shower, eat and start my workday. Then, once the kids are up, it’s a household in motion, three bodies working to get out the door to school on time. I’ve been trying to meditate too, but I still haven’t been that consistent with it. I sit and enjoy the silence with my hot cup of coffee, a good book and my journal. It’s the reason I like to wake up early, at least 30 minutes to an hour before the kids so I can have quiet alone time. I can get lost in the concept of “slow living” but I also know that, in my life, sometimes I have to hustle in the present so I can savor the down time in the future. If you’ve been here for long, you know I love to be productive and get things done, but I also like to be intentional about how I spend my time. Hi friend! Can you believe we’re already in March?! It feels like the first two months of the year went fast and here we are, about to head out for Spring Break in a couple of weeks!
