Scheduling your days is super important to ensure your are doing the things you want and tasks are getting completed.
But once it's in your calendar, it becomes about discipline.
Keep your commitments to yourself and live the life you want. Don't let your future self down by not being who you want to be or doing the things you want to do right now.

My biggest struggle with time lately is not having as much as I used to. Becoming a mom to two of best little girls (in my biased opinion) has left me with less time for me.
I remember the days where I worked my 8 hour shift, came home and had 5-6 hours to do whatever I wanted! Workout, no problem. Sit and watch a couple episodes of a show while sewing or making a puzzle, yes please! Now I have to squeeze those activities in where I can.
Workouts happen before the girls get up, sewing is maybe a 1 hour long activity I get to 2-3 times a week after the girls are in bed.
But I wouldn't change a thing! I know these days where they are little and need my full attention aren't going to last for long. Soon enough they'll be more independent and won't want me around. So for now I'll soak up the snuggles and be content with the free time I do have!

Ever feel like the house is always a mess and will take too long to clean?
Create a cleaning schedule for yourself with one task each day, things that will only take about 20 mins. Maybe dust on Mondays, vacuum on Tuesdays, etc.
This way everything will get done weekly, won't take much time from your day, and with daily tidy up of toys and dishes you'll feel less overwhelmed.

There are definitely times when things happen and you might have a stretch where you literally don't have time to accomplish certain tasks.
But for the most part if you don't have time for something, you are making that choice. You are picking one thing over another.
Say yes to the things you love and need to accomplish and stay away from those tasks or activities that you do not enjoy and drain you.

One of the biggest things you can do to make every day amazing is waking up early.
I'm not saying you need to drag yourself from your bed at 4 a.m., but make sure to give yourself enough time. Do not not rush your morning routine and take some solo time before the kids or your daily duties occupy your mind. Enjoy a solo breakfast, your morning coffee, or get your workout in.

I hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving weekend and sorry for being MIA this past week. Life's been crazy and we had some family stuff come up that kept me busy and am just now getting back on track.
Things are going to happen, it's life. What matters is that you always get back on track, and forming good habits makes that so much easier.

Something I truly believe and would love to help others see is that anyone can do anything...except maybe become a dog.
If it is something you truly want or love, the goal is achievable. It may just take a lot of hard work, focus, discipline and persistence, but don't give up. Be the person and do the things that you desire.

I'm not perfect.
Obviously.
In the past I have failed miserably at managing my time. I still do on occasion. But failure is what teaches us things. You cannot learn and grow without failing.
So please, don't have a fear of failure or let it get you down. Instead, embrace it, learn from it, and grow!

Here are two apps I absolutely love! They help keep me organized and on top of everyday tasks.
Google Calendar - I definitely prefer an electronic planner that lets me have everything at my fingertips without carrying something extra around.
Todoist - Lets me have ongoing lists of things I need or to do that is always readily available. I keep my grocery list here, things to do around the house, etc.

3 Things to Stop Doing now to Create More Time
1) Spending too much time on Social Media. I love social, but too much is not only not good for your mental well being but also wastes so much time.
2) Saying Yes to everything. If it is something you truly do not want to do and is not a true HAVE to do responsibility. Say no.
3) Living off the cuff. Write everything down and schedule your activities so you don't forget or feel busy and stressed.
