My new calendar has a section for the days of the week. For each day you can write things. I am thinking this is going to be the key to accomplishing tasks. I can’t necessarily have a routine where I do the same thing every day. But I can write down everything I want to make sure I do in that day, and then when I do it I can check off the box. I write it all down: water, walking, Bible, housework, plus whatever else comes up.

I think it’ll work and I like it already. It just seems that as life goes on the more organized I need to be. I’ve been working on a booklet to use as a personal reference. It has all the handouts from the Gottman training, plus I think I’m going to type up my own sheet with my personal philosophy for working with couples. So far I have been assigned to three of them, plus three individuals. I feel like I could definitely do more.

But they start you off slow you do not get overwhelmed. We have reached the frigid days of winter where it’s very unpleasant to be outside. I love being inside and being grateful for the warmth. It was Martin Luther King Day so everyone had the day off. I cleaned my room and did some laundry and had the boys work on theirs as well. They’re all still sleeping in the schoolroom which is what they do around Christmas.
