Melinda,

Thanks for trusting yourself enough to just be real. It’s so refreshing! I think there will always be parts of our lives that we do well, and then there will be the parts that are “in process.” And then there’s just the beauty of pure CHAOS that being a WAHM can cause without warning.

Take care,

@ Lisa, oh yeah, I’m all too human!

@ Mick, are you calling me a luddite? Sheesh…..

@ Elaine, I normally do that, have my week roughly planned and then do daily planning. Last week I didn’t (obviously) and the results were very clear to see! I don’t do a list on the last day though, I tend to have what I call a ‘rolling to-do list’ and tasks set out in advance for when they need to be done. Then organise the two together to make a daily task list.

Melinda…as I always say “Professional” not “Perfect”.
Been there, done that, got the t-shirt. It is like a vortex spinning out of control. It really helps us to put our life and our own expectations in check.
For fun try doing the list for next week on the last day of your work week at the end of the day. Then when you start your week you are clear headed, in control and ready to Rock and Roll.
Let me know if this works.
Elaine

Sometimes life just creeps up and bites us on the backside…… result…. a week like yours. Good on you for catching it (and what a luddite way to solve it LOL).

Every couple of months I have to reevaluate my priorities and make sure I am not taking on too much. Thank you for sharing with us that you too are human!
