Task Management Tuesday: Week 8

Updated on June 5, 2024

This is the final week of this series. I have taken some baby steps to create more order in my life and become as stress-free as possible.

The following is an overview of the eight weeks and how I feel they went.

Week 1: Purpose of Task Management Tuesday – to create some calm in my life by getting some routines up and some order back into my life.

Week 2: The top 10 things I do daily to keep my household (and life) running smoothly.

Week 3: I set up morning and evening routines and a weekly and monthly list of “to-dos.” I also showed what my kid’s schedule looks like.

Week 4: I created printables for my home management binder, which I am sharing with you.

Week 5: I’m adding more printables from my home management binder. This time, a little more pretty. Pretty makes me happy, which equals more getting things done. 

Week 6: Kitchen organization tips.

Week 7: I regrouped because I still felt like I was floundering around a little with my time management skills.

So now we are here at week 8. My house is more organized and cleaner. I still have those days where I can’t seem to pull it together, and my house looks like a bomb went off, but they are fewer and far between.

This last week, I tried to focus on my time management. I am doing much better. I am trying to stick to my schedule and my kid’s schedules. This does not mean things do not come up, but I am more focused.

I got a new planner {gotta love back-to-school sales} that I have divided into 8 sections for each day. This gives me just one main thing to focus on in each area.

This is not to say I don’t do other things throughout the day in each category, but if I can check off the big ones, I feel like the day is a success.

In no particular order, the categories are:

1. Appointment
2. Exercise
3. Household
4. Blog
5. Computer work (I help out my dad with this)
6. Kids
7. Dinner/meal plan
8. Extra – anything that doesn’t fit into the above categories

Overall, this series has helped me regain focus and order, which I desperately needed. Thank you for taking this little journey with me!
