It's August!!! How, I do not know, since I literally still feel like I just got home from Costa Rica. But that was March 26, so apparently that was over 4 months ago now. This is the first month in a while that I actually feel in the right head space to embrace the "new… Continue reading Definitely feeling the new month vibes! Hello August!
Now that I'm sort of getting "back in the groove" of life, I've resumed my current method of time blocking. Since I've been really leaning into my Google Calendar, I've been trying to fine tune some of my digital habits and systems. One thing for me that has never really worked is doing time blocking… Continue reading Current time block method
I had a realization last week, while listening to Sarah on Deep Questions (for a second time, actually- I listened first on my flight home from Texas, but was sort of in a post-food poisoning half-awake stupor, so I listened again with a clearer mind a few days later.) I keep a calendar, yes. I… Continue reading Planning but not planning, and time choices
I want to clarify a couple more things about my time tracking experiment! First, why I'm doing this: I am not tracking my time so that I can deeply analyze it, or be able to say with certainty that I spent exactly 3.21 hours with my children yesterday. Maybe some people may want to do… Continue reading Time tracking, continued!
Good morning! It's a 5:30 a.m. swim practice day. These are currently "necessary" in Asher's schedule, because he is so busy with volleyball + soccer right now that he can't get to as many of the evening practices. Even with the early Wednesdays in the mix, he's only making it to swim about 3x/ week… Continue reading Time tracking experiment
I've been using a hybrid paper/ digital planning "system" for a long time now. My paper option is the Wonderland 222, and then I use Google calendar. But I'm finding myself actually "needing" my paper planner less and less lately. I do still use it, but it has slowly dropped into being my more secondary… Continue reading Becoming a digital convert
1. I am feeling pretty good about my progress on my "Christmas To Do List"! I am especially happy that I think we're in solid shape on gift buying- I think better than we have been on December 9th in past years. I'd say we're almost done with the boys, minus maybe a couple of… Continue reading Friday 5: Christmas to-dos, time blocking and meals
November is almost over, which means my goal of adding a specific habit for the month of November is almost over, too. If you recall, I talked about this idea in this post. I have really enjoyed focusing on just ONE THING for a month. I chose to start with "adding" a good habit (versus… Continue reading Update on my adding/subtracting habit plan + some fitness “advice”
I am usually the owner of the "grocery list" at our house. We don't really have a great spot to have like a whiteboard or cork board in our kitchen anymore. Notepads end up getting buried in the drawer, and annoy me if left sitting out. So for the last couple years I have kept… Continue reading A perk to kids having phones
Adding/ Subtracting Habits: One of the people I read about in Tribe of Mentors talked about his custom of making "New Month Resolutions" instead of "New Year Resolutions". Specifically, he rotates between either ADDING a habit or SUBTRACTING a daily habit. The examples he personally gave in the book were: July = Daily readingAugust= No… Continue reading Adding/ subtracting and a productive Thursday
