Time to gain a whole new perspective
Start by looking at how your activities align with your vision and goals. For example, you can view that boring job as the job that provides for your family. Alternatively, you might view the chore of exercise as a way of staying healthy for those who love and rely on you.
Keep the following things in mind when recreating the structure of your life:
Focus on enjoying more activities that are in accord with your purpose.
Schedule each of your priorities and say no to things that do not align with your purpose.
When planning your schedule, take note of those activities that get you from where you are now to where you want to be.
The goal is in not making work the center of your universe. Step off the "work speedway" even temporarily and regain a sense of balance. Separate what is important to you in your personal life. Those are your priorities at this stage.
Try this for one month: Develop a personal agenda that includes "your time" for family, friends, health, and your passions. Allot various times of the day and week for certain activities, and stick to it as best you can manage. If you find that a work activity has to cut into your time, make an adjustment, but do not make this part of your new habit or routine.
Organize a Bit at a Time
At the same time buy some new hooks and organize your purse and keys.
Get Organized Ideas
This board will break down assignments into component parts with specific tasks involved in the school project.
This way when your family searches for something they need, they will know exactly where to find it and where to put it away. Then, you change an attitude. Jerri went with the professional coach. Pots and pans can placed near the stove area. Planning ahead does eat up some time, but not nearly as much as not planning at all. Establish one defined place in your house for storing library books, and end a house-wide hunt when it is time to read or return them.
