Basic Weekly Plans

[Harmony]

Welcome ejagno. That's quite a bwp. Do you have it all written down or do you remember all that? I'm sure I'd have trouble remembering all that!

hello enjango!!!!

[blessedw2]

setting up my week. yesterday I had a migraine and lost the day so today... timer in hand and planning for week. have a great day = simplify my thinking

[Ivy]

These are the days I call certain titles:

Sunday = Renew my Spirit Day
Monday = Cleaning Day & Motivation Day
Tuesday = Thinking Thoughtful Day
Wednesday = Desk & Office Day; also Anti-Procrastination Day
Thursday = Thinking Thursday
Friday = Conga Focus Day
Saturday = Successes Day

I keep to routines, squeeze in appt.'s, errands, working on writing, & everything, in every day I can, depending on DH's schedules & my calendar/work/health. I'm flexible, need to be, so follow my heart & use my head, baby-stepping all the way, through the week.

I generally do laundry daily or every 1 - 2 days, depending on what's dirty. I put out hot spots daily, pick up after myself, sort the mail, take care of my cat, help with dishes & dinner. I pen pal, crochet, read, clean, & work up a sweat when I clean, too, so I also count it as activity. I exercise, take care of myself, give quality time to DH & we're happy empty nesters. I cannot adhere to a strict weekly plan, because so much can change from day to day, depending on family, friends, etc.... So I try to purposefully keep my schedule flexible, follow routines, to keep on track, but I'm not disorganized & overwhelmed. If & when I feel overwhelmed, I sit myself down, journal & plan what needs to be worked on or changed, since something obviously isn't working for me. On Thinking Thoughtful Tuesday, for instance, I make phone calls, go visit someone, write letters or thank you notes, thinking of you or get well cards. On Thinking Thursday, I often times plan the weekend & week ahead or I work on my brainstorming of titles, characters & plots, look at deadlines, etc.... Monday & Friday are cleaning days prior to the weekend & after the weekend. They're busier days. Errand day for us seems to be working out to be Tuesday, Thursday or Friday, lately. We're home on weekends, Mondays (usually), Wednesdays. This seems to be working for us.

This week is one that I am not ready for - my dear youngest graduates high school on Sunday the 18th I keep saying she is not ready as she younger and older for her years... but I am the one not ready. I am so happy as she starts new adventures.

I am only on a daily adventure this week with my cards.

Sunday: going to d mil's to work, finish my menu planning that is realistic (during the summer I no longer try new fancy schmancy recipes - have dd younger hang up graduation gown
Monday: catch up on laundry, clean dogs room, animal care, music ministry for dd younger
Tuesday: pull cloths for both senior mass and graduation for me. doing something for d family. drop off dd younger at school at 12
Wednesday: hair cut and dye, school 11 am for dd
Thursday: dd youngers senior mass - drive d mil at 8:45 am for a program
Friday: 16 dd sailing 10 am
Saturday: have all cloths ready, pick up cake for Sunday
Sunday: dd graduation and 5 graduation dinner downtown leave at 3
