This term I am drowning. I've always been an overachiever when it comes to school but this term is kicking my BBBBBBBut. Yes, I'm getting B's in both my classes so far. Because there is so much material for me to cover, I've tried to come up with better ways at staying organized. Enter- the revolving to do list. I divided up things I need to do by categories. This really helped and kept me from feeling overwhelmed. My categories in no particular order included Self (emotional and physical development), Organization, Cleaning, Pathophysiology, Economics and Finance of Health Care, Parenting, Motorcycling (a new hobby I'm learning), Social, and Sleep. Then I listed each day and the things I wanted to do that day. Because of the categories, I was able to balance my day. If I worked hard but didn't get everything done, I moved tasks to an upcoming day where I thought I could get it done. Then I crossed it off. Everything got crossed off every day. It was nice. This may seem counter-productive but it really worked for me this week and kept me motivated. I felt I focused time in every category in a balanced manner. I like feeling organized and in control of my life. The revolving to do list has been good.The new method kept me so organized, I was able to start planning for the 3rd Annual Craft Night! For the past couple years, John and Aspen have gone to the Monster Truck Jam and while they're out, Riley and I invite our friends over for a night of crafti
ng. It is so much fun and I'm so excited. I have found some easy crafts the girls might enjoy- toothpick tops and piggy banks. I'm still on the lookout for a craft the women would all enjoy. Is there anything you've been wanting to try or make and haven't found the time? I'm looking for a project that is amazing but can be finished in a couple hours or less. Count this as your official invitation-March 26th, 5-8:30, my house. Bring your scissors. We will also be eating & drinking so bring your favorite dish to show-off and share. I'm making dessert. Please let me know if you are planning on coming at least a couple days before so I can have enough supplies for everyone. Woohoo! Can't wait.
