time management........................

In my new business, I am "off today" only meaning I don't have to report for training. Second business, I am NOT off today. So, I am going to spend some time preparing a time management schedule for me and my household. I always do this at this time of year. Kids are getting ready to return to school. Everybody is wore out from summer activity and we all seem to need a little CHANGE! I try to keep some of it fun, especially since I have 2 kids and they are teenager's. I love making list and I love love love calendar's! So this is always fun. I usually have to make a few tweaks around mid-October or so, once kids have signed up for any new activities, etc...

This year I will be adding things in for the real estate business. So this is going to be interesting.
I like to set aside 2 days a week for laundry, yes I need two. I really could use 5 with teenagers. But, I keep it at two. Another day for menu planning, I get recipes together, look through cabinets, freezer to see what I have. Make my list and menu. Clean out fridge. This is usually on Thursday's because trash comes on Friday. Oh yeah, Wednesday and Friday are laundry day's.
New to the scene this year is going to be "Tackle it Tuesday" and "Out Door Wednesday" and let's not forget the every two week cleaning parties with the family! You know the kids HATE it when I say we are going to have a cleaning party! Especially now that they are old enough to know that it isn't REALLY a party at all! I do try to keep it fun.

Now when doing my schedule, it's family first. I hear it can get really crazy at times in the real estate business and that's a good thing, but, you have to schedule family first. SO, besides the scheduling tips I have already known about, they teach some other positive ways to do it. That is right up my ALLEY!

So this is what I am going to do this morning with my time, as I wait for kids to arrive. Amen!

Love to all,
Terri
