Organizing for Success

Once again I find myself at the weekend wondering how the week flew by and why I didn't finish all that was on my to do list.  Lately, it's been hard to find myself getting in a rhythm where I can not only get my workout in, but also, my meals planned, laundry washed, dried, folded and put away, house cleaned, and still have time to play with my kids are relaxed. 

I know for me, organizing my schedule is the key to my success.  When life seems chaotic, which is often the case with two kids and two parents working, I have to keep a list going and a schedule so I know what needs to be done and who needs to be where.

I have decided that Sundays are going to be my new meal planning and weekly goal planning day.   I will sit down, figure out what I'm eating when and also what my family is eating, write down my workout schedule and goals for the week and then also make a schedule of what we have going during the week so we can all be prepared each day/night.  I will also add on my schedule what day I'll be doing what chore to keep my home organized and cleaned too.  (as clean as it can be with two kiddos on the go). 

Like I said, life gets chaotic.  We can't always plan ahead for things that will come up, but if we CAN plan for the things we know are going on, the more success we can have.  When it comes to fitness and nutrition, we need to plan.  If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.  That's the saying, right? 

How do you plan for your week and for success?
