Hey my fellow busy moms and Happy July! I hope your holiday weekend was fun, relaxing, and hopefully you were able to eat good too!
OMG?! We are literally at the half-year mark for 2021! Can you even believe that?
And since we are at the half-year mark, I wanted to talk to you today about planning at the half-year mark!
I know it’s a bad word to some, however, I want to make sure that you, my fellow busy mom, are well-equipped to have a stress-free, organized, successful rest of your year. And guess what? If you do this now, you can start implementing this each year, each half-year mark, or even each quarter. Whether it’s planning for your family schedule, kids’ schooling, your business/work, or even meal planning, you definitely need a plan in place.
I know you are probably thinking, but Kimberly, why do I have to plan though? ? I already know everything that I have to do and everything that I have to get done is in my head. Right?!
Some of the reasons you need a plan is because it provides: a strategy, gives you direction, totally simplifies your decision-making (which means less stress for you), allows you to be more time efficient, and of course, it helps you reach your goals.
I am a visual person, so when I plan out each of my months, I have to write it all out, and one way that really helps me, is using the Post-It method. This is a good way that you can utilize post-its to plan out your life. I will definitely have to give a big thanks to Mattie James for this method. I am telling you, it is very helpful and colorful too!
So ladies, let’s do this! Let’s get organized! Let’s get the planning!
Love,
Kimberly Gumbs
