Summary: In this episode we're tackling the topic of morning & evening routines. Why you need them, how you'll benefit, what makes them work and HOW to go about making your routines in your day to day life. Why they're so needed- Less decision fatigue- Less scrambling- Less forgetting stuff - Less waking up to a to do list What really makes them work- Tagging them to things in your day (like brushing your teeth, getting dressed, finishing a meal)- keeping to one room at a time How to go about making them- List what you NEED to have done before you leave the house every morning (diaper bag, gym bag, getting dressed, etc)- List what you DON'T want to wake up to (dirty dishes, a dirty floor, stuff all over the counters, laundry to fold, clothes to pick out, etc) Figure out how those things fit into your already existing routine- Tag them to items in the same room (do all the days dishes and wipe counters while you're waiting on dinner to finish cooking), make your bed right after you get dressed every day. This helps you to not run around so much- Tag them to things that always happen (brushing teeth and then swiping the toilet clean), putting dinner away then wiping the table, vacuuming while hubby gives kids a bath.-Figure out the nightly routine first because that's the most important.- Work back wards logically. For us, we want to be checked out by 7 PM so we work backwards to make that our goal. It means hustling from 5-7pm but once 7 hits we have no household responsibilities! Try to implement one-2 extra things a week or every 2 weeks until you've got a solid routine. Don't forget to hook up with me and some other mamas!
