Happy Super Bowl Sunday!!
An important
aspect of managing a successful team whether in the NFL or Pee Wee League is the strategy or the game plan. I have found that in fulfilling my role as
family manager of this to be very true. We as humans are creatures of habit and thrive
on structure. Obviously it is not possible or practical to write out a detailed
schedule, but it serves as a guide.
I love a
perfectly executed plan, and one of my goals for this year is to organize my
time more efficiently and therefore my home run more efficiently. It is a work
in progress.
My tendency is
to jump into things full force, and the results aren’t always successful. So I’m going to try to take this one step at
a time. In order to be successful in getting back on track this week, one of my
goals is to get up earlier so I can get into a morning routine.
Goal number
one for this week is to get up each morning and get my day started at a good
time. I have a list of items that I
would like to accomplish before they get up. These tasks include getting myself ready for the day, a quiet time, packing my daughter’s lunch, and unloading the
dishwasher.
Goal number
two this week is to reestablish my evening routine after dinner. This past week I tried this couple of times
where I set a timer, and cleaned for fifteen minutes. I did the same thing with the kids just
before bed. This is starting to work
well for the older two girls, ages 6, and 4. My two year old is starting to follow
along and help. I am cheering the fact
that my children are old enough to help out now. It is so nice.
For all those
moms out there with really young children, I can totally relate. I have four
children ages six and younger with the youngest being eleven months. My two year old can still take apart a room
pretty quickly, but does not do this as often as he did six months ago. There is always nap time to get things done, as
long as the little ones will take a nap.
What is your
game plan for the week? I would love to hear about it?
