Starting to get Organized

Well, I made some progress today.  In between getting caught up on laundry, I sat down and made a menu for this upcoming week.  I then made a grocery list for the things I needed.  I plan to go shopping this evening after we eat dinner. 

 

I had this fairly large basket-type crate-box thing that, over the summer, I had just kept throwing STUFF into.. you know... papers that I would "get to later."  I would find info on the internet about certain chore charts or training ideas or meals/recipes or scheduling our homeschool year, etc., and then I'd just put these articles and such in this one big box. 

 

Well, no wonder I was ignoring it - and the stack was getting higher and higher - it was OVERWHELMING.  I didn't know where to start!

 

So, with this next week's meals planned out, I tackled the stack of stuff in this box.

 

I found some file folders and labeled them by categories as I sorted through the papers:

  • Meal ideas
  • Exercise/Health
  • Schedule/Routine
  • Consequences/Training
  • School
  • Chores
  • Field Trips/Places to Visit
  • Work Records
  • Need to file ~ which is my biggest folder!

This will help tremendously!!  Now, I can tackle one thing at a time and not be so overwhelmed.  The first thing I will work on is putting a schedule/routine in place for our days.  I will include time on there to go through these files.  I feel like such a big load has been lifted off my shoulders now that I've broken this huge task into bite-sized pieces!

 

If I have time tomorrow evening, I will stop back by here and post my menu for the week, in case you wanting/needing some ideas. 

 

I truly desire for my writings on this blog to be a blessing to those who read it!  I hope you are having a fantastic Saturday and will have a blessed Sabbath tomorrow!

 

Blessings,

Archives for Heart of a Homemaker

I wasn't sure if I wanted to combine all of the categories under this at first, but for the purpose of simplifying things, I decided to go ahead and do so.  :)

 

So, any of these things will now be all under the one heading of "Heart of a Homemaker."  If you want to read any archived posts, you will find them by clicking on the links below:
