How to Tackle It All

-

 Pretty much all my life I've always had too much time but in the past couple years a lot has changed. My sister got married, we moved, and I just really wanted to help out more. For the first little bit I just did some chores and then I started making some dinners. But then I just got super busy (I not even sure why =P)!
 I start my day at 7:30 get ready and read my Bible and around 8:00-8:30 I start my school (math, English, science, history, penmanship, geography, and spelling) since the new school year I've been doing more school and it takes me a lot longer than it used to! A few months ago it took me about two hours to finish all my school but now it takes about four to four and a half hours! I normally finish around 12:00 to 12:30 and go to some chores (dishes, laundry, cleaning bathrooms, dusting, etc). They normally take no longer than an hour to complete and then I eat lunch. Once that's done I get on the computer and work on whatever is the present task, most of the time there's more than one! Today I have two stories to complete and this post to write and I have to take pictures for two different posts, not to mention my other blogs! I just have to choose what's most important I get that done as soon as possible. Today that was writing this post, but every day is different, some days I would even get on the computer cause I busy with other stuff. Once I'm done on the computer I'll make dinner (only on Monday and Thursday) and if I'm not making dinner I'll use this time to read or do a light workout or sometimes I'll be lazy and watch some Youtube movies that have been piling up in my "watch later". And then we eat dinner and Matthew and I clean up together. And finally, after dinner, we all relax and watch a fun movie or show.
 So that's my day, and I'm sure it's not as crazy as some people but considering that all my life I've had an over abundance of time this is a full day.

 Even though my day is pretty full I've found several ways to make my day less crazy and way more organized!

1. Decide what's most important. As I said above, every day I have several things to do but I have to make time only for the most important and then the others come next. Plan out what you need to get done that day and what can wait until tomorrow and schedule your projects out.

2. Take away distractions. Don't let yourself go on Youtube or Instagram until you finish this. It really helps keep you motivated! And other distractions could be people, other projects, food, or your adorable pet. For people just try to work in a room where they not at the moment. Other projects can be really hard, just remember that you can't do the other task until you finish this one. Food is a strong struggle for me. Now obviously I don't starve myself, but when it's an hour to lunch and I see some cookies on the counter I'm so tempted I completely lose focus! Putting the cookies in the cupboard isn't hard at all and then you won't cheat on your diet. =D Or if your cat or dog is constantly wanting to be held... well I haven't figured this one out, but if you have tips please share! =P

3. Get motivation. Before you start or if your stuck read a motivational blog post or watch a quick video. Don't get too distracted but getting motivated really helps you be more creative!

4. Tackle the hardest first. If there isn't a specific order to your work, do it starting with the hardest and then go from there. You could to a hard task and then do an easier one, this is what I do for my chores and it really works!

  I know it can be hard to tackle a lot in a day, but these tips are tired and true so hopefully they'll help you too!
Bye!

Tips for Working Out

-
Hey guys!  So, recently I've been trying to work out more. So here are some tips that might help you too! 1. Find a workout you like. This one's very important cause if you don't like it it's most likely you won't do it. I tried my sister's palates workout and it was just too slow for me! So, now I'm doing a more upbeat workout. So you see that even though someone else likes it you don't have to do it. My favorite thing to do for working out is the workout called Prayfit. This is a burst training exercise that goes through strength, cardio, abs, and flexibility, basically, everything you want in a workout. Another favorite is the What's Up Moms workout. It's also burst training and it also covers strength, cardio, abs, and flexibility. One of my favorite workouts! And one other thing I've been doing the last couple days is running up and down our hill. It sounds really silly and simple but this one's my favorite because I can do ...

30-Day Writing Challenge Day 9: What You Ate That Day

-
 I know I skipped a day, day 8 will be coming out soon I'm not as good at writing stories is all. =D Today is Sunday. I don't normally eat in the morning so I didn't think about food when we went shopping. As we were shopping Hannah mentioned that she hadn't eaten that day. Looking at the clock I realized that it was 2:30. I was very surprised that I didn't feel hungry. We shopped for another hour or so and then went home and ate zesty bean burritos for lunch\dinner.  The rest of the day we just chilled. Daddy and Momma went shopping again and so we watched the Flash and I had a bowl of frozen corn and a chocolate shake.  In the evening we really didn't have a dinner plan. It was more free for all. I think I had a blue barry donut and a few cups of Snapple.

My Shoe Collection

Honestly, I don't really like wearing shoes especially in the summer but I thought it would be fun to show you my shoes. BTW these are all my shoes except for my snow boots and outside flip flops. First, these flats from Fred Meyer. I got these years ago and they're great for summer! Then, there are my red flip flops I got at Goodwill.  I think every one needs a pair of tennis shoes, I got these from my Aunt and I don't know where she got them. Even though I don't wear gray that much I really like these for when I'm working out or just when I'm wearing a sporty outfit. And the summer essential, sandals. I really like these ones from Walmart. They're simple but very cute and great for basically every summer outfit. The rule for me is I need three pairs of boots for the winter. A lighter one, basic brown, and a darker one like black. And these that I got at Fred Meyer land in the basic brown. And everyone also needs a nice pair of ...
