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:
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,
~LISA
