I had a pretty full feeling day yesterday, but a good one. I tweaked my morning routine a bit to allow for a 7 am grocery store run. Ironically, while I was getting ready for the day, I listened to this episode of Laura Vanderkam's Before Breakfast podcast. It was all about using the concept… Continue reading Time choices

Mother’s Day and back to Today’s 3 Things
I had a very nice Mother's Day!! It was pretty low key and felt just about right. Unfortunately, the plans with my own mother had to be pushed back to next weekend, but we did get to spend time with my mother-in-law. (She goes back to Mexico in about 2 weeks, so time is running… Continue reading Mother’s Day and back to Today’s 3 Things
Routineology
On Monday, I had two podcast episodes back to back in my podcast subscription feed that were, ironically, both about the topic of routines. I am a big fan of routines in general, so these were fun to listen to! They were very different styles and sort of tackled different angles of routines. 1- Best… Continue reading Routineology
Thursday Misc: work, email, Chipotle…
Happy Thursday! Nothing overly exciting to report around here today. Work project- Yesterday I started working on a little side project at work (not exactly a normal, actual work related project, but more of an organizational project that will benefit the department long term). It's right up my alley and I found myself getting lost… Continue reading Thursday Misc: work, email, Chipotle…
Day #109
Today is the 109th day of 2021. I saw somewhere or heard on a podcast I think last week that it was the 100th day of the year (would have been on Saturday, April 10th), and that kind of stopped me in my tracks for a sec. I remember thinking when I heard that, Wow!… Continue reading Day #109
Parkinson’s Law + work/time expansion…
Since we've been home all week 24/7, I'm missing most of the "anchors" in my life right now. It's nice, in a way, to have some total "free for all" days, but also still odd. (Less odd now than it would have been a few years ago, since we have become fairly used to this… Continue reading Parkinson’s Law + work/time expansion…
The enemy of time blocking
You know what I think is the worst thing for people who like (or need) to plan their time?? The service call. When the plumber/ electrician/ cable guy/ person with tools tells you they will show up at your house "between 12-5" or, in my case yesterday, "sometime before 3, but they'll call 20 minutes… Continue reading The enemy of time blocking
Friday 5: Confession, progressive overload, quotes and more
1- Let's start with the confession. I announced so excitedly that I was going to start IF (intermittent fasting) on 1/15, and my goal was to try it for at least 4 weeks. Well. I didn't make it 4 weeks. I made it 6 days. 🙂 It's not that I really couldn't keep going (the… Continue reading Friday 5: Confession, progressive overload, quotes and more
2021 Book List + some planner pics
Yesterday I updated a few pages in my planner. I finally did the December Review page, and I also decided how I want to use the Quarterly pages. I decided I think I don't want to make separate quarterly goals this year. It didn't flow that naturally for me last year, and I think I'm… Continue reading 2021 Book List + some planner pics
Normal life & fresh slate
Ahhh I say this every time, but after any time away I really do love getting back into my normal routines. I'm such a weird mix....I LOVE traveling so much but I also LOVE just being at home. 🙂 It's January 12th today and I'm excited to finally really dive into my "new year's" stuff.… Continue reading Normal life & fresh slate
