Hi, All!!! It’s been awhile since I wrote a blog post. Hope you are all doing well. Can planning be healthy? Well you all have heard the saying – too much of anything is not good for you.
I have always planned out my work day, my night time activities and even my cleaning schedule. I recently realized that all of my to-do items were things that I had to get done. I started to feel like I was constantly rushing from one task to the next, which by the end of the week would put me in an exhaustion state.
This week, I started something new that I wanted to share with you. I printed up a monthly blank calendar and wrote down some personal things to do each day of the week. These are small tasks besides my normal daily action items. These small items ranged from playing a game with the boys to cleaning my car to scrapbooking. Some other items on my calendar are my passions - reading and writing.
What did this do for me? From the time I wake up each morning, I have to work (which has been very hectic, managing various projects), come home, take the boys to karate, soccer, etc. then back home to clean the house, and more. I am able to stabilize myself at the end of the night doing one of these smaller tasks to decompress. What do you to decompress? How are you at planning some personal time for yourself?

P.S. Don’t get me wrong, I still have many to-do lists/spreadsheets J
Hope to see you all at the book signing on November 14th!
