I’m a girl who works a million times better when I’m on a schedule. Anyone else? I’m way more productive and have so much more energy when I stick to the same schedule each week. I wake up at the same time every day, I go to bed at the same time every day and during the week I really try to follow that schedule (how many times can I say schedule in one paragraph? Take a sip of coffee every time I do lol) to a tee.
Now my daily schedule changes each day but I still accomplish the same tasks each Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday etc. I lived with my papa for almost six years and he is the king of being productive and not procrastinating, so he taught me well! He’s really helped me with my time management skills and to distinguish between being productive and busy.
I’m someone who needs downtime too. So I always make sure I leave myself a couple of hours each evening to hang out with Dan, watch Netflix or just do whatever helps me relax.
Okay, I’m going to share the important things I do each day. I don’t think you all care about the pee breaks, the episodes of talking to Nina and the frequent dance breaks so I’ll leave those out 😉
MONDAY
Monday’s are my favorite day of the week! Weird I know. But Monday sets your week up for success or failure. I like to use Monday as the day I prepare for the whole week. It’s super busy but it helps me clear my brain so I can focus on mainly on work the rest of the week. So what do I do? Well, let me tell ya!
WAKE UP TIME- 7:30AM
MAKE COFFEE + SAY GOODBYE TO DAN (ya know, give him a big ole smooch and a smack on the toosh)
READ A CHAPTER OF WHATEVER BOOK I’M READING + PRAY (currently reading ‘It’s Not Supposed to be This Way by Lysa Terkeurst)
PLAY PIANO FOR 30ISH MINS (this is one of my 2019 goals. I’ve been using the app SimplyPiano and I LOVE it!)
WORKOUT- I do the PopSugar workouts on YouTube! There are so many, you’ll never get bored!
WALK THE NEENS
CLEAN THE HOUSE + DO ALL THE LAUNDRY + WASH OUR BEDDING
FIGURE OUT MEALS FOR THE WEEK- I usually shop on Tuesdays, but try to have a general idea as to what I’m cooking on Monday
COMMENT + ENGAGE ON INSTA- this also changes day to day. Sometimes I’ll do it in the morning and other times I’ll wait until around 3.
GO TO BIBLE STUDY
The rest of the day is left for me to respond to emails, respond to DM’s, spend time with Dan, watch some Netflix and eat chips. In no particular order.

WEEKEND
I try really hard to get everything important done that needs to get done during the week, that way I can really turn my brain off for a couple days. Dan and I will probably take pics so I have content for the week and I may post once, but I really try to give myself a ‘mental break’ on weekends. Dan works a ton during the week so I want to have as much time as possible on weekends to spend with him.
Well there ya have it! Now you know what I’m up to throughout most of the day. It’s nothing too special, but I stay productive so I guess that’s all that matters! What does your schedule look like? What’s your favorite part of the day?
Have the best weekend!!
I’m the same way!I’m more productive when I have a schedule in place and take a day to plan out my week. Mornings are my favorite part of the day. Its the time when I set my daily intentions and pray:)
