Tip #24 – Keep a Clock and Radio in Your Bathroom

Being late is NOT a good way to start your morning! Keep tabs on your time by keeping a clock in your bathroom. Set times for yourself; for example, put on makeup for a certain amount of time. When the time is up, you are done. Same for your hair. Also, listening to the radio or a cd may start your day off with the right mood – a “ready for the day” mood. What music gets you pumped? What music calms your mind? Whatever is best for YOU, apply it to your daily routine so that you CAN start your day with the BEST YOU.

Kristin’s Action Plan: For years, I have kept a radio and clock in my bathroom. When I do not have a clock (if I am on a trip), I find myself losing track of time. A clock keeps me on time and not rushed because I know my boundaries. Also, listening to a favorite cd or program, encourages me to be the best me for the day. I don’t let my worrying mind get the best of me.

Day 42: Long-Sleeved Shirts

What: Long-sleeved shirts Why: Sleeves hanging off the edge. Shirts shoved so far back in the drawer you can’t even see them. Too many to choose from that you can’t even see to the bottom of the drawer. Filing through shirts that don’t even fit you anymore. Do you find yourself fitting into any of…

Day 53: Emails

What: Emails Why: Emails clog up not only our inboxes, but our minds as well. Emailing is helpful when you need to quick contact someone about something. But then… do you get stressed when you realize you have 10 emails you need to reply to, but only have 10 minutes? Do you have emails you have not replied…

20 Days, 3 Ways, __ Bags: Clothes

We all have dreams of what we want to look like. We see a picture in a magazine and think “I will look like that someday” (or dream that we will). We see a manikin with an outfit on and think “I want that outfit” – yet when we try it on, it looks like anything…

Stress-Free Back To School Prep: Schedules

What is one of the most stressful part of the back to school process? SCHEDULES. Summers allow for those late night family fun nights. Conversations around the fire. Time spent TOGETHER. Then BAM. All of a sudden school hits and those late summer nights become rushed early evenings, trying to get the kids to bed…

Day 25: Printed Pictures

What: Printed Pictures Why: In yesterday’s post I talked about how to organize your digital pictures. Assuming that most of us still have printed pictures, it is easy to let them clutter our closets, boxes, and drawers. Albums are a great way to organize pictures, but sometimes there is not enough album space to put…

Label Your Cords

Tip #11 – Label your cords Sounds simple, but how many of us have cords in a box, stowed away in a drawer, or hiding in our basement, not knowing what they are for? You can either buy labels or use tape and a permanent marker to simply label each cord, so that you know…

I have a clock in my bathroom, visible from the shower( a cheapie plastic, wall-hanging clock) and its great. But I find that the radio- whether the person is listening to music or to the news, makes my family members move more slowly and linger, so that doesn't work for us( 2 parents+ 5 kids+ everyone better take a quick shower!:)

  I never thought of that Polly, that it actually might distract too :). Good point! Especially with the number of people in your home, bathroom time is precious :). Thanks for sharing!
