GOAL SETTING IN SIX AREAS OF YOUR LIFE

                      It takes as much energy to wish as it does to plan. Eleanor Roosevelt 


When I began this blog, I was focusing on "ordering"  my life and I was including my whole life here, not just organizing my "spaces". But I really was not thinking about my health and wellness. 

Well, now I've decided to expand this blog a bit to include ALL areas of my life, including my body. Yeah, I'm trying for the whole-shebang! You see it's fairly easy for me to order my life in most areas ( I love organizing and planning ) but the troubling areas for me... getting in shape, losing weight, exercising more, eating less sweets...these areas are my big downfall. And after adding extra Covid pounds its even more an issue!

So I'm ready to conquer this area of my life as well! I know it's a couple of months away from the New Year when most people make resolutions to make changes in their lives but I'm working on the planning part now, making charts to help me follow through and setting my goals! Then come January 1st, 2021 I'll be ready to dive right in. 

Of course the procrastinating part of posting on this blog started yesterday so I'm already working on that one!

I see my life as basically divided into 6 different areas:

 

PERSONAL ( self care )
     MIND
     BODY
     SPIRIT

HOME ( creating a cozy inviting home for family and friends )

JOB/WORK ( if you're retired your work is still maintaining your home )

FINANCES ( self explanatory )

RELATIONSHIPS ( what do you want your relationships to be like )

SERVING/GIVING ( what are you doing to give back and care for others )


You can follow along and set goals in these areas for yourself. I'll be sharing my goals for these areas in the future. In the meantime I'm going to create tracking sheets for areas that need to be tracked. 

If tracking this seems to be like too much work, I'll be giving simple tips that will help you to stay on track in ordering your life and keeping life balance.

la det skje! ( Make it happen! )

10 BENEFITS OF ORGANIZING

Organizing is what you do before you do something, so that when you do it, it is not all mixed up.  A.A. Milne Flowers from Pinterest   There are a lot of organizing blogs and web sites out there but I decided to start this one to help me get MYSELF back on the organizing track as well as share some things that have helped me be more organized over the years. I've kind of yo-yo'd back and forth like a diet with being organized. I was the MOST organized when my kids were growing up because I felt I HAD to be to maintain my sanity with all the busyness of an active household!  But if I go back even further I was a very orderly little girl. My room was ALWAYS neat and organized. I made my bed before I  even got out of it! I had a happy, secure childhood and I think that my desire to keep things in my personal little world happy and ordered reflected that.  My disorganized years were:  when the kids had moved out and I was working full time ( more about THAT crazy lifestyl

PLANNING FOR SUMMER FUN

Granddaughters arriving for Gramma Camp. Teaching grandson to play golf. Just as important as organizing the spaces of your home, is planning fun events in your life. This IS, afterall, a blog about "A Well Ordered LIFE" which includes ordering and planning the FUN!  I find that if I don't plan things, they won't "just happen". For example, at the end of one summer I found myself thinking, " We never went on an old fashioned picnic!" The grandkids were busy with Mission Trips, Vacation Bible School, camping out, swimming lessons etc. The guys golfed on their days off, vacations were taken, and EVERY YEAR I think about going on a simple  picnic, but one year didn't actually PLAN one! What's a summer without an old fashioned family picnic? Oh sure, we had LOTS of family gatherings where we grilled out and ate together. But a picnic where we'd go to a favorite spot... to eat outside... on a picnic table...we did not do. I simply fo

FIRST STEPS TO DE-CLUTTERING

"Your home is a garbage processing center where new things are purchased and slowly demoted through various stages of 'trashification' until you're done."     Jerry Seinfeld Doesn't this "feel" great?                                                                                                         I had to laugh at Jerry Seinfeld's description of what happens to our "stuff". But when I thought about it,  that's kind of what happens to things in OUR home.  After  a while things get "old" and they move into the "trash" category. So we have a garage sale...  to get rid of the stuff that has gone through the end stage of "trashification". Then after we get rid of our "trash", we go to someone else's garage sale and buy their ...ah, treasures. Oh, did I say that out loud? That's not supposed to be a part of this de-cluttering work. Well, don't forget, one man's trash
