Happy New Year’s Eve, sweet friends!
Are you ready for new beginnings, new possibilities, and new opportunities? The word new makes me all Yippy! inside with what can be – what just might be – but it also leaves me knowing that with new comes change! And change can be hard!
One of the new things I’m expecting in 2013 is being more disciplined with my time. Now that we have a new baby, time is not as plentiful as it used to be – and neither is sleep! So I want to begin using my time more wisely so that I can be fully present with whatever I am doing whether it be resting, working at home, or spending time with my family.
In order to do that I have to get organized with my time. I have to change the way I presently organize my time (which is really not much organization at all) so that I can reap the new that I hope to see.
My friend Kayse Pratt’s new eBook Getting It Together: Your Guide to Setting Up a Home Management System that Works has helped me tremendously to do this! In Getting It Together, Kayse takes us through the process of organizing our time with the use of a home management notebook. By creating a home management notebook, you save time by having all of your life’s most important tasks in one place.
I’ve tried so many different types of home management systems, but what I like most about Kayse’s book is that she walks the reader through a step-by-step process of creating a home management system, and it contains 30 FREE PRINTABLES that are really cute!
The home management binder is divided into eight sections – Calendar, Meal Planning, Important Numbers, Finances, Cleaning, Home Management, Inspiration, and Family Records.
Some of my favorite printables for these sections are:
- Babysitter Information (Very much needed now that we’ve welcomed our first baby!)
- Blogging Calendar (Another area I need to get more organized!)
- Book Inventory (Because one of my goals for 2013 is to read two books a month!)
- Online Password Tracker (Can I tell you how many times I reset passwords in a week?)
- Daily Food Journal and Exercise Log (Time to lose the baby weight!)
Getting It Together has literally helped me “get it together” as I start this new year, and for FREE I know it will be a help to you, too!
