Room For Improvement…

So I know everyone of us is guilty of leaving a sticky note on the kitchen counter or bathroom mirror or scrambling for a pen to write a reminder on a napkin. The problem in doing this is there’s no back up. What happens if you want to verify that a task was done? Chris and Cynthia from Russell + Hazel suggest keeping it simple and together. These brilliant ladies point out that scribbling on scraps of paper or Post-it Notes is fine—until you want to go back and check something. With a dedicated notebook or spiral pad for to-dos, you can always consult old lists and even track the date it happened.

By organizing your to-do lists, you are taking one step toward achieving what is most important in life and also gaining back some of your time. To do this, Chris and Cynthia also recommend prioritizing your items. Long to-do lists can make your workload seem insurmountable, but arranging by due date help relieve the heat. By prioritizing your to-dos by date and/or time, you can knock off the most urgent items and hold off on less pressing ones until your schedule cools.

NEAT Things I Love Today:

Whether you are a busy mom on the go or a career gal paving a path, having a planner to keep your life organized is a must. The Truly Mom Leather Planner is perfect in every way. It has multiple note pads and useful pads for all your to-do lists. This planner is smart and stylish and designed to be a portable desk to help keep you organized in the most efficient way. I especially LOVE the MY Day pad! I can start my list the night before and then in the morning as I am getting ready for work, I can add to it as I think of things. Since it is a pad, i just tear off the sheet and it can easily go anywhere I go!

Happy Organizing!
