Time and Tasks

Okay this is a breakdown of the tasks that I often do (or should do) and where they fall with my priorities that I decided on.

Spirituality:
-Quiet time
-Church
-Bible Study Classes

Family:
-Date nights with hubby
-Family meals
-Play time with Kaylin
-Whole family get togethers or meals

Self:
-Nap time (not usually, but just in case)
-Exercising
-Crafting
-Reading
-Reflection time

Organization:
-Paperwork
-Cleaning
-Yard work
-Planning

This is not an exclusive list - but what I could think of at the time. I'm sure there are more tasks and many of the ones listed (ie - cleaning or exercising) really break down into many, many more tasks.

Another blog that I read, http://monthbymonthwithgingerbug.blogspot.com/, was talking about the idea of a round robin weekend. This was where she had a ton of stuff to get done and the things typically fell into 4 categories. So, she made a list of each thing that needed to be done and which category it fell into. She then set a timer for 45 and every time the timer went off, she switched to a different category. That way she checked items off of her list, but never became overwhelmed with any one list. I like that idea, for my time management sort of. I obviously don't have time during the week to just go at it for 5 hours straight, but I DO have 24 whole hours to get things done in. If I take my categories and say that every day of the week, I will get at least one thing done in every category - it doesn't make it seem so daunting.

So here are my categories that I would like to use each day:
Spiritual
Family
Exercise
Self
Organizing

I will commit to at least 30 minutes for each category each day and become intentional about getting it done.
