Organize Your Mind & Life Visions

YEA! Welcome to week 1 of my Let's Get Organized Now Series!

I'm super excited about this, this is exactly what I'm needing! And from hearing from some of you, you need it too :)

So for those of you who don't know, I'm working my way through this book called Organize Now! by Jennifer Ford Berry.  

This weeks task is to Organize Your Mind & Life Visions!

I never really thought about how important it is to Organize yourself before you start on all your "things!" But it makes total sense to start with yourself! That's what this week focuses on, where do you see yourself? What do we need to do to better ourselves? 

We have 12 goals for the week, but I'm only going to share a few with you! You have to buy her book to get the most out of this :)

 Get at least 7 hours sleep at night: haha yea if I'm lucky I get 7 hours! I'm lucky that both my kids (most of the time) sleep all through the night, but I have issues shutting my brain off at night to sleep! I also find that here lately I'm staying up later than normal, and still getting up early...like around 6. If I actually slept the whole time I was in bed, I'd get at least 7 hours! I need to work on a strict bedtime for myself!

Start your day writing a to-do list: Easy enough...right!? She reccomends you get everything you want to get done that on paper, and it will help declutter your mind for the day, so you don't have to remember! 

Two-Minute Breaks: Jennifer reccomends you plan out two to three two-minute breaks through out the day. I could plan out the breaks, but it will be hard to have them alone and just be like she encourages! But sitting down and having a cup of tea and a snack always sound wonderful :)

Schedule "me time": I already do this! I like to enjoy a hot bath after the kids are in bed for the night! I don't have one every night, but I try to as often as possible! 

Schedule time to Exercise: I know I need to plan out my exercise! I'm horrible about it. But I'm going to sit down and put it in my calander! Exercise is so good for you for so many reasons! 

So there you have it! 
A few things to get your started with week 1!

I'd love to read about how you're doing...so please share!!

Next week, we are moving onto our Priorities!

Now...onto the fun stuff...the winner of the Organize Now! Book is....

Lets Get Organized Now, Plus Giveaway

I have had big dreams of becoming a more organized person! I'm ashamed to admit that my home is completely chaotic. I have let everything get WAY out of control over the last 5 or so year. I have never been a great housekeeper, but honestly, it's gotten way out of hand!

My biggest issue while cleaning is having WAY TOO much stuff, and not having a home for the important things.

IT'S OFFICIAL!

It is time for me to have a cleaner and organized home!

I bought this book about a year ago with great intentions of using it...

yea...

like I said, it was a year ago!

The book I found is called Organize Now! by Jennifer Ford Berry

What I really like about this book is the week by week guide to Organize your Life!

I also love her table of contents! She shows you exactly what to expect to do, and in order!

One of my favorite things though...is how she doesn't just start you out in a room! She has you organize YOUR MIND, PRIORITIES AND SCHEDULE first!

I never thought about it (which is probably why my house looks the way it is!), but you have to organize yourself before you can organize everything around you!

I love that each week she includes a checklist of goals and tips to make this progress simple and manageable! Plus....I LOVE a checklist :)

Jennifer also has great tips on how to get rid of that clutter!! Lord knows I need to do that!

She did a great job including inspirational quotes to keep you motivated as you go!

And little tips throughout

 So!! I'm going to follow this book, week by week, and blog my progress and expierence.

I LOVE for you to join me and let me know how it goes for you!

Every Sunday I'll share some of the goals and tips for the week and show you what I did that week.

 I recommend you order the book as well! You wont be disappointed.

I'm excited and think this will be a lot fun! Especially with you guys doing it along with me!

NOW...onto the giveaway! I ordered one extra Organize Now book, and would love to give it away to one of you!
