That’s right I said LISTS! The day I began to run my life with lists is when I finally started to get some peace of mind in the chaos that is my brain! Utilizing lists for everything from “things to do” to “grocery” to “blogposts”, having a list for everything gives me the organization needed to properly manage my life and maintain sanity!

Let me tell you how my typical day would go when I never used lists. Just as a preface, I’m a housewife, so I would wake up, check my social media, and then fart around with my baby for a few hours, trying to nail down in my mind what I said I would do the day before. By noon I would have nailed down a few things that I knew I should probably be doing, such as chores. But, by this time of day, my busy toddler (even at a younger age of 1 year old) would have worn me out and now I want to relax for a bit. The next thing I know, it’s time to make dinner and I would have accomplished absolutely nothing! Yikes, so yeah I had to figure something out!

So I started doing lists for everything, even making priority lists of my life goals and responsibilities, and on actual paper, not an electronic device!

  • Grocery lists
  • Things to do
  • Daily, weekly, monthly goals
  • Things needed
  • People I need to call
  • People I need to pray for
  • Blog posts to write
  • List of things to discuss with the family
  • Chores
  • Bills that need to be paid
