Here are some of the things to do! But first, be sure to print off this free, adorable 2018 Calendar just for you!
I would adore it if you’d tell me below in the comments what you do to keep your life organized and in balanced each month of the year. It’s my goal for this monthly feature to be a true give and take between you and me, so, leave your comments at the bottom. This way we can all learn more and fine tune the system to make it better for all of us. {high fives}
Your Personal Assistant
1. Tip Junkie is coming full circle to make ‘Your Personal Assistant‘ reminders more interactive. This has been a goal of mine for a few years and with technology I can now make it happen for you. {nerdy giggle}
2. Be sure to grab the April Calendars I’ve made ya:
3. Let’s start the month off right and make a list of the things that are causing you added stress. Make a list of the big ones as well as the little ones. Is something in the house that’s broken, is there an insurance issue you need to take care of, do you need an extra trash can upstairs to help keep things tidy?
4. If you are doing food storage, time to check the schedule and buy next on the list. Don’t forget to put some cash in there as well.
5. Schedule for book club, girls night out, BUNCO, and other rotating activities. Make sure you have child care, your food assignment, etc. Here’s how to start a dinner club or enjoy a dinner party. {be sure to invite me!}
6. Once you’ve thought it out and made your list, next plan a day this week as your ongoing problem day and finally resolve those issues that need to be resolved. You’ll be glad that you did!
