Thanks for the video Nancy. I lean more toward type A. I have my own form of the daily docket that I do, I've read a Mother's Rule of Life a few years ago and have applied her concept to my day - creating a "routine" based on the natural flow of my day (which feels like I have to revise it every couple months as kids enter new phases!), but what I struggle with is when something doesn't go according to plan. For example, the baby only takes half of a nap. Then, what I planned to do during that time has to get shifted to another time or skipped and it throws me off and I get into the cycle of cutting out the self-care because it feels like the easiest thing to cut, but then we all know, that makes everything else unravel!
This is something I have been trying to achieve in my life. I feel like I am always doing all day long and not accomplishing anything. I feel frustrated and my anxiety is constantly going up and down. I am trying to establish a time during the day where I can pray and set up a routine for stuff just for me. I don't know where the road block comes in to get started though. I do think this is something I really need.
I have to make notes of what I want to get done in a day. If I don't, I will always miss something such as not praying the rosary or making important appointments.
thanks for watching, and please take a minute to let me know what you struggle to find time to do. Pray? Take care of yourself? Connect with your husband? Let me know!
It’s just so hard when you have little ones! I have 9 kids. Most go to school, then I’m home with my 2 4 and 4 month old girls. The 4 y.o. Has special needs. I can’t even get up early enough to write on the docket. My baby won’t sleep on her own during the day, she’s held all day long. Sorry, I know I sound like a whiner. I’m type A, love schedules, but with all these kiddos (that I absolutely adore!) is almost impossible!
