Where does the time go? I’ve tried lists, online diaries, paper diaries, life laundry and I never have any time so my new mantra is to find peace in just doing everything I can. That way I mustn’t think ‘b*gger I didn’t do x, y and z today’ but instead I can think ‘yes I did a, b and c today – clever old me’. It doesn’t give you any more time but it makes me feel a little less of a failure.

FAB post! And SO true! Every day I chase my tail from the minute I wake up and every day I tut as I realise it’s 11pm and I still have a ton of things to do! I think it’s called being a WOMAN! We try to be all things to all people – and apparently STILL have to look good! x

I am an organiser, without it I feel out of control and stressed. I use an app called paperless and I have list categories within this, domestic, shopping, school, blog etc and each list categories has a to do list within it. Then I have a due by date on each item and work through methodically. The stuff that has no deadline, never gets done, but theres always hope eh.

I would LOVE to tell you that I manage my time wonderfully well, but that would be a big fat LIE, so I’m not going to do it…..
I’ve never been an organised person, try as I might – I am the bain of both my Mother & my youngest Sister who are incredibly well organised time managers……I have, and always will be, the QUEEN of the last minute and the up till the early hours crying because you KNOW you should have done this job 3 days ago!!!
I simply muddle through the best I can – but yes, I regularly forget Homework, PE kits, vital bits for projects that you’ve only just discovered they were supposed to do etc…….but no-one has failed anything (yet), the Girls are all fed and watered and SOMEHOW the hoursework is getting done (albeit sporadically…….)….
I’m pretty confident that on a scale of zero to Organised, you are WAY higher up the chart than me on this one……
