I love to plan ahead of everything. To me, its better and less stressful when you plan well before you execute any project. The essence is that it makes you focused and guides you to all that you need to do ahead of time. Life throws a lot to our faces,so when you plan ahead, you are well balanced and can face life strongly.
So here is what I write down every evening for the next day.
BEDTIME TALK WITH HUBBY
I love to talk with my hubby every morning. We talk about things that went down the day before and what we intend to do the next day. We also talk about projects which we intend to start up, the running of the house and any other business.
PRAY
We do not forget to do this every morning. We pray and commit our activities to our maker. We are Christians and we are very religious too.
BREAKFAST
I head to the kitchen and make breakfast for my family. I enjoy cooking a lot and trying out new recipes too. So I make a delicious breakfast and everyone eats and we are happy. LOL
SHOWER TIME
After this, I head to the bathroom for a nice shower to either get ready for work or get ready for the activities of the day.
WORK TIME
I have a new born. And as such, I work from home. Working from home with a baby is not as easy as you think. Putting baby to sleep ahead of working time needs a lot of patience and skills. I try to catch up with meetings and assignments as well as every other thing that needs to be done . its always a busy day for me however I guess I am use to it now. So it is a part of me.
NAP TIME
But no matter what I do, I try to always rest when I am exhausted. It could be for few minutes. According to an African proverb,"body no be firewood"... Which means that your body is not a firewood. You have blood running through your veins and as such you need to take care of yourself always.
My little secret..LOL
To add, I drink plenty of water to replenish and energize myself. Water does a lot of tricks for me. It helps me cool off. Sometimes when I am given an assignment , I try to drink water first. I don't know if its weird but it gives me inspiration. It soothes me a lot.
Any other business (AOB)
This column is for probably doing the laundry, cleaning the house,running errands, cooking, hair washing. Generally just the things I do in between the day.
So these are the little things I do during the day... The reason why I write them down a night before the next day,is to help me coordinate the activities of the next day. Yea... And it has been working for me.
Do you also write out your activities for the next day? Do you stick to them? To be honest, sometimes I follow them step by step, other times i just do them without following the steps. What's Important is doing them right? Lol...
