Sticking to a schedule: Day 2

CELEBRATIONS:

  • Woke up early again, and had a nice walk.
  • Made a simple A4 planner for the week. It was very handy having it close by to write on as I remembered things I needed to do as I was in bed at night (as you do)
  • In the morning I referred to my planner and then put it on the fridge. I actually remembered to do stuff straight away (like sending money with girls to school the day AFTER the notice…ooooooo!!)
  • The meal planner I did for the week, meant I didn’t have to start thinking about what to defrost when dinner was just around the corner (even if the kids didn’t like what I made).
  • When I had something on my to-do list for the day, I added it to my routine along with an approximate time that I was going to do it. This helped me schedule the best time to do it.

ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT:

  • I forgot to set my alarm to wake up the morning! doh! Luckily hubby woke me up. I decided to add “set alarm” to my evening routine, until I get back into the habit.
  • Need to add “drink water” to my routines, or link it with an activity eg always drink water when I go past the fridge.
  • I need to make a contingency plan for when I go out in the evening, because I end up not being able to do everything on my evening routine when I get back.
  • Went to bed late.

  1. Hello lovely Mika!

    Could you email me a copy of your planner? I am currently running three diaries too!

    Anyway, you’ve inspired me to start recording my own thoughts too after our lovely dinner – “The Small Moments” I’ve called it: http://www.cbaddo.wordpress.com. If only to record these for me and the family in the future :)

    Re the drinking water – drink a glass after you’ve been to the toilet every time. It’s a vicious cycle but it gets your intake back up!!
