Okay, chugging along here.... To recap, so far we've covered Personal (#1-5), Health/Fitness (#6-10), Kids/Family (#11-15) and now: Household goals (#16-20)! 1. Implement a standard grocery shopping time. Let me explain. I've touched on this in previous posts, but meal planning and groceries are not really my forte. Historically, we're pretty loosey goosey in this… Continue reading 2025 Goals: Household
TGIF, ya'll.... this was my first full week of work in a bit due to the holidays/vacation days, and let's just say, it came to PLAY. 😳 But I want to keep going in my goals series! The 3rd domain is next: Kids/Family. 1. Spend a minimum of 1x/ week quality time with each of… Continue reading 2025 Goals: Kids/Family
In October I posted about a planning challenge, where I was trying to figure out how to organize and track many upcoming tasks for this holiday season. In that post, I outlined my idea to create a couple of new lists in Google Tasks (namely a November and December list), in addition to my usual… Continue reading Chipping away
I still need to get one more Mexico post up (to recap the actual quinceanera!) but not feeling like sorting through all those pictures today. I think I'll just do a Monday Misc. post here with some random, real time life updates. 🙂 Charlie sleeping: First, how sweet is this pic of Charlie? I took… Continue reading Squeezing in some fall fun, a planning challenge, and Monday misc.
On my post the other day about feeling stretched thin and like I don't have a lot of margin in my days, a very astute commenter named Margot said this: When I read this, I had one of those, DUH! moments. I feel like she really hit the nail on the head. A lot of… Continue reading An astute comment
Since I was a guest on Best Laid Plans recently, I have had several requests to share visuals of my digital time logs/ journal pages that I referenced in the episode. Before I do this, I have to make sure to pause to give huge credit to Laura Vanderkam. I downloaded the original time tracker… Continue reading My digital time logs/ journal pages- with visuals!
Since I've moved digital with my planning, I've also been making an effort to keep track of a few recurring tasks digitally. Recurring tasks is an area I was never super great at managing when using paper, though it's certainly not the paper's fault. I just never really had a solid system in place for… Continue reading Monthly vs Weekly Recurring Tasks, digitally
I woke up this morning with many things rolling around in my head that I wanted to do. I've actually struggled with this in general lately on the weekends- lots of random things to do, but none of them necessarily time sensitive, exactly, or urgent. So, on some "free" weekends like this one (i.e. not… Continue reading A Numerical List Style Saturday
A general focus for me so far in 2024 has been to work on FIXING and SIMPLIFYING things that are persistent problems. I've had this nagging feeling for a long time now that many things in my life are mildly "out of sorts". Some areas just need a good declutter, yes. But others are minor issues… Continue reading Fixing/ simplifying things + a little Second Brain talk
How often do you fully clean out your personal email? I usually always aim to do a big email clean out/ catch up on Fridays. But that does not always happen. So Plan B is anytime over the weekend. Sometimes even this gets away from me and I might end up with up to ~2… Continue reading Email cleanout frequency
