This week I want you to think about things you can do in your life to make it run a bit smoother. That's what being organized will do, so as you go through the next few days, be cognitive of what you do and how you do it. Would it be better to do all your laundry in a single day or over the week as needed? Would making meals ahead of time make for more family time? If you can pay all your bills in a single day, should you or should you wait and pay them weekly or bi-weekly? (That is also a finance question!)... Think about what is more convenient?
Something that was breaking up my leisure time on a Sunday morning was going off to purchase the newspaper. I like to read the newspaper and I like the coupons. But I did not like having to get dressed and make my way out to get it. I solved this 'my time' destroyer by getting a Sunday only subscription. I wake up on Sunday morning and my paper is right there ... on the sidewalk. It is pretty awesome to walk out and pick up my paper. The only caveat is that I have to tip them. Yuck, I hate to tip for something I should be doing, but it is worth it.
Often, in life we do the same things in the the same way because we are complacent and we figure, 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it'. Listen up single moms, If we don't stay on the path of continual improvement and growth, then we actually begin to stagnate. If there are better ways to perform your tasks and live your life, you should. It is about quality of life... It is about quality of life. So make it better; the best it can be. Now is not the time to let things be. Now is the time to evaluate our choices and how we spend our time. I realize having my paper delivered is not earth shattering, but it makes my Sundays a lot more enjoyable.
That is what I want for you! So what can you do to make your life more enjoyable. What can you do to save time so you can savor time with your family? Really! Take a few minutes and think about your life. What aspect of your life do you detest and what can you do to make it better? As I showed you, it doesn't have to be life altering, just life enhancing!
