Hi Leah, I just read your excellent article on setting routines. Routines would make my life so much easier but all my life I bucked routines thinking that they rob my life of sponteneity and adventure.

Well, chaos is not adventure. My life is unbalanced because I have too many "irons in the fire" and do not approach them methodically but wild abandon. I am older now and ready for steady success.

Can you share some of your routines that add ease and success to your life?

Greetings Lori,

I'm so glad to have you back!

Thank you so much for visiting the forum and reading the article about routines .

Here's one routine that I�ve followed off and on for years. Now I�m trying to make it a standard part of my life, to get up around 4:30-5 am every weekday. And I have a goal to go to bed at the same time every night 9:30 pm. I haven't been as successful at the going to bed part as the getting up. I�m still on the journey with that.

Also I start dinner and begin to prepare the children for bed at 6 pm. That�s also a very, very important routine that I�m pretty good about adhering too. What I�d like to add are study routines and exercise routines. Then I�ll be guaranteed to get these things done.

I like routines because they�ve taught me to trust myself. I won�t EVER, EVER, EVER be late for work or for any other important ongoing events or activities if I routinize them.

I think you can be even MORE creative if you have routines. For example I�ve found that having a routine in the morning with my children alleviates a lot of confusion and unpleasantness. We have the routine�breakfast, bathroom, dressing, shoes, etc--down pat to the point where we have time to enjoy music, play games and even read a story or two before school! If I were rushing around and chaotic, we couldn�t do these creative things that get the day off to a good start.

Another part of this is to keep track of your time. I found an EXCELLENT website that helps you to track your time, it�s called www.toggl.com. I�ll write more on this in upcoming articles.
