A reason to plan

Posted on October 27, 2011

Sometimes we think the day has just slipped by.

Are there not meant to be 24 hours in the day?

Where did it go? I swear there are meant to be a few more spare hours….

Running around, one appointment to the next, one meeting to the next…. no sooner has the day begun the day has ended.

6:46pm and this post is now up.

I didn’t plan today’s day. I didn’t plan ahead.

I know I needed to be taking Planning With Kids advice… plan… simple right?

Planning can reduce stress… that feeling of… “ohh crapp”…. is somewhat reduced… so I here!

So I need to plan.

My goal. Plan.

Tonight I must think what can i do before bed?

What can I plan for the day tomorrow?

I even bought a Planning work pad to help me on my journey…

So tell me, what are your tips on planning ahead? Or does that thought just not come to mins?

You bring up some good points but I have recently changed the way I look at things. I was a big list maker and planner and I felt lost without having things set out for me. Now I take each day as it comes, I still have a to do list. but it is certainly less formal and of course the have to things like appointments/meetings have to be kept, but as for the rest…!
I am amazed at how much more relaxed and less stressed I am. I am sure my kids are amazed too! And I am actually getting more done.
If you had told me this three months ago I would have laughed.
Funny how things work!

Thanks for the reminder. I need to do way more planning. I find each week goes by and I wonder what I really achieved, other than the basics of meals and laundry. I have a list but barely dent it. I float along far too much. I need to consider the night before planning so I can wake up and launch into my day with some direction.
