Tips for "Falling Back Into a Routine"
By Kim Fulcher
Falling Into Fall
Theme: Establish a Routine
A routine is simply a set of habits. Routine is incredibly important for adults and children alike. A healthy routine will combine elements of things you have to do (like getting the kids ready for school) and things you want to do (like getting a workout). When you set a predictable structure to support these habits, you set yourself (and your family) up for success.
-- Identify the Must Do's: Make a list of the things you must accomplish every day. Examples of these items include getting the kids up and ready for school, getting them to and from school, and managing their after school activities.
-- Define Your Want-to-Do's: Make a list of three to five things you want to incorporate into you're your daily habits, and make these things about you. Maybe you want to begin writing in a journal or getting a workout. Perhaps there is a new hobby you'd like to take up, or you've always dreamed of starting a business. With the kids back to school you're going to have a bit of found time on your hands. Make it mean something.
-- Set A Schedule: Take both your Must-Do's and your Want-to-Do's and put them into a workable schedule. For greatest success, define the order you'll address each task, and even assign it a time. Unscheduled time has a tendency to disappear. When you're intentional about the use of your time you'll find that you not only seem to have more of it, you enjoy the process of using it.
-- Enlist Support: Make sure everyone in your family knows about your schedule. Post it, and assign tasks to everyone in your household. Allow yourself to receive support, and your routine will be both functional and fun. (You'll also teach your children how to manage their time effectively).
-- Build In Some Downtime - Make sure to set aside at least one full day each weekend to rest, play, and have some fun. Your to-do list will be there when you come back to your schedule the next day.
