Clean and organize one place a day

I like to take my time when it comes to cleaning and organizing. I am not always enthusiastic about cleaning or organization, but doing it step by step helps, as it helps lesson the pressure of getting it done.

My journal and drinks I love when cleaning and organizing

Getting up early has made a difference too, having a routine on a Monday setting out my week and go through my to dos, spread across the days of the week and that I don't get overwhelmed. 

Also getting some bits done the night before like clearing the dishes and setting up our mugs and Henrys glass he uses out already by the sink and kettle. Check out my cheat sheet I do each week as I did one sharing tips on Saving time. https://theparentingadventurestipsandtricks.wordpress.com/2024/04/22/new-cheat-sheet-saving-yourself-time/

Each Monday I go through my finances, going through previous week of what I have purchased and plan my spending for the week, and have no spend days and changed my budgets and make sure that I don't overspend and have money I can save and just make sure that I know what has gone out, what is going to come out and just stay on track. 

I now put up on the kitchen food that bought for meals and when they have to be used by. I am writing down what meals we are having this week and if we have enough food for meals in the week, and that it gets used, to eliminate waste. 

It then gives me time to set my projects I am working on each week and that I don't waste time and taking breaks and now I give myself Free Choice time and set it out on my google calendar.

I make sure I take a break from my laptop and no longer spend time in the evenings on it so make sure that I get things done on it in the day and then I can concentrate on making dinner, spend time with my son and wind down for the evening. It has made a real difference as I get a good night sleep. 

It is about how many hours you work but what you've done in the day that can help you have a good and feel like you've haven't done anything constructive and have just wasted a day. 

So now I prep and now ready to start another week ahead to get things done and do want I don't enjoy to what I do. 

Many thanks for reading
