Getting Back on Track # 2

Well, I did not do as well as I'd hoped last week.  That being said, I was more productive than I'd been the weeks prior, so that was positive!  I realize I'd forgotten something even in Revision # 1 last week, and I'm really wanting to make this become completely automatic.  So...here is my morning routine goal, even though it's more than five things:

 

1.  Rise, take meds, shower/get ready for day

2.  Make bed (unless DH worked nights and is still in it!)

3.  Get laundry going

4.  Breakfast w/ kids, read Bible together

5.  Empty/re-load dishwasher

6.  Check e-mail quickly

7.  Start school

 

Now, for my goal for this week....  I would like to be in bed between 10:30 and 11pm, and rise between 6:30 and 7am.  My hope is for this to push to the early side over time, but to give myself a window as I get used to it.  To help with this, I plan to put my alarm clock across the room, rather than on my nightstand.  I'll have to get up to turn it off, and I do not want to allow myself to climb back in bed!  I will also set an alarm on my watch for 10pm to give me a warning to start wrapping up whatever I'm doing, so I can get ready for bed on time.  I've never done this before, and hope it helps get me back on track!

Jan. 23, 2009 - Getting back on track

Posted by TheMunchkinsMama
I could have written this post! I am doing so poorly and REALLY need to get back on track. I have a morning routine written down as well: 1. get out of bed, make bed, get dressed and do hair, pick up dirty clothes from bedroom floor 2.do a quick clean of the bathroom and get dirty clothes from there 3. put in a load of laundry 4. pray and read my Bible 5. check my email (ONLY email..not read blogs or news or search for anything) I also need to be in bed by 11:30 every night and out of bed by 8:30. We also have a "no videos or computer games until all schoolwork is done" rule. However, it is after 10 a.m. here right now, I am obviously reading blogs and the kids are watching a video and I haven't even completed my morning routine! yikes! ok... you have inspired me to try harder! Good luck and blessings on you!
