Getting myself together can be a real challenge. Sometimes, I just can’t get out of my own way because I overthink things. There are days when I just have to write a list for what needs to be accomplished. Today I want to:

  1. Work on the book (I am writing a professional book for teachers).
  2. Lesson planning for the week.
  3. Pack up the rest of Christmas and put it away.
  4. Clean the house.
  5. Create a dinner menu for the week.
  6. Go food shopping with a list.
  7. Pay my bills.
  8. Workout for 45 minutes.
  9. Spend some quality time with my husband.
  10. Prep for the week.

That is quite a list. It is a beautiful Sunday morning and I am very hopeful that I can make this happen today. I’ll let you know.

How’d I do?

So far… I’ve accomplished most of what I set out to do. I did not get to the gym but at least I walked the dog with my husband. Some quality time and activity rolled up in one. I prepped food for the week. My meals are packed for tomorrow. I paid my bills, and the Christmas decorations are packed away. The house is clean, and I did go food shopping. I have a little more planning to do before I go to sleep. Having clear intentions and organizing myself makes all the difference.
