Organizing You

A copy of the e-mail send out during our second week:

OK Ok I know no blog yet...still waiting on my husband. Anyhow so I'm giving up on him for this week and will just e-mail out the assailment a day late.

Today I want you to make a list of 5 things that you either enjoy or make you feel good about your self. Your list can be longer if you want...I have a hard time here so 5 is my magic number. Now at the end of each day I want you to make sure you do one of these things for you. I know it doesn't seem like an organizing thing but in order to stay motivated and have the inner strength to do this you need to do some things just for you...this is my personal opion nothing backed up in a book just what works for me.

1.) A Bath with music so I can't hear any children
2.) Food I don't have to cook from a nice restraunt
3.) Doing my nails
4.) Reading a book
5.) Taking a walk without children

I was going to have you guys do a schedule organization exercise this week but instead I think I at least need to start a little smaller and simpler. So here are a few things I want you to try and do this week.

-get a min of 7 hours sleep (harder than it sounds)
-Schedule you time each day (time for one of your 5 things)
-Start a journal if you don't have one. It's ok if you don't write in it every day write in when you can. If journal writing is hard for you like it can be for me set a timer for 5 mins and write what is on your mind it doesn't have to be perfect.
-Start each day with a to do list. I do small to do list of only 5 things at a time...when i get all five things done I write another 5. You can also jot down everything you need to get done in one sitting...they say this lets you not have to think about it for the rest of the day. Choose one that works for you.
-Schedule a two minute break two to three times a day to spend time alone and just be
-Start each day by reading your scriptures (silly I know but for some reason I can get more done if I start my day this way)
