Monday Morning Again!

Posted in Home & Living | April 27th, 2009

A new week is here and it’s Monday morning once again. I want to start my week right so I will start being prepared.

A few things I did today that I think will help me start the week right:

I ate a simple and healthy breakfast . If you feel that you just don’t have the time for breakfast, try keeping bananas (and other easy to eat fruit) and vitamin fortified cereal bars handy and ready to grab and go.

I have done some of my washing and ironing over the weekend and luckily my hubby have helped too in the process.

Make a schedule will make it easier to effectively manage that Monday morning balancing act.

- – Divide your morning into phases. For example, phase 1: Eat Breakfast, phase 2: Get Dressed, etc. Set the phases in 15-30 minute time increments (phasing increments can vary, depending on the overall time you give yourself). Attempting to accomplish everything at once will only lead to chaos and confusion. Help your family stay within the proper phase and ask them to also pitch in and help. Encourage your family to stick to the morning phases to keep things running smoothly.

To achive balance, especially that Monday morning balance, the key is being well prepared.

Try a more organized approach to your Monday mornings and you will find that they turn out to be a lot smoother and less stressful for everyone.
