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
The school week is going very well! Ethan reported being "tired" when he got home last night, which is not surprising. I am actually not sure if he meant physically (from soccer), mentally or just sleepy; probably a combination of all three. He continues to be very positive overall. Wednesdays and Thursdays are their block… Continue reading Changes cont. & thinking about school year routines
