Organization

Tonight for FHE, Jess and I got organized -- or at least started the process.

I got a notebook and printed out some planner sheets and have it all together.

First, we planned our week. We wrote out our appointments and obligations, tasks and projects. Then we looked at our budget and we have a sheet that we will fill out weekly that separates out how much we spend each week on what. Then we planned all our meals for the week (hopefully this will help us eat healthier.) Next, we wrote out a shopping list with all the stuff we need to get soon (groceries, office/school, hygiene, household, pet, etc.) After that, we planned out our workouts for the week. Once again, hopefully this will keep us to it! The next part was really fun. We each set six goals complete with steps to get there and a deadline. Every week we will review our goals and see how we are coming.

I think I am going to add my own personal to-do lists to this notebook. It's a good way to keep everything organized and together in one spot.

Every Sunday after church, we are going to do this! I'm really excited about it!

  2. being organized is such a good feeling! when we first got married, we were really good about planning out all of our meals for every day. We both felt so good and saved a ton of money on food. I need to get back to that! :)

  10. Hey there cutie! It's been so long huh? Well it looks like life has been great for you and is only going to get better with a little one on the way! That's wonderful! And lists pretty much save my life. I'm looking to get a big wipe board calendar though and that'll help us stay organized even more. Thanks for your example Britney!
