5 Ways That I Keep My Day On Track

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of WonderApps. All opinions are 100% mine.

Have you ever has one of those days where everything seems too calm? You think you have done everything on your mental list but you still have this weird feeling in the pit of your stomach? I used to have that feeling ALL THE TIME!

I have said before that I am a pastor’s wife in addition to being a mom to two children under the age of three and a blogger. Well, I was having one of those days with the butterflies in my stomach when I got a call that I, Alecia, missed an important church event that only happens ONCE A YEAR. Yup, I felt sick to my stomach. Ever since that incident I have learnt a few tricks that I will share with you.

5 WAYS I KEEP MY DAY ON TRACK

1. I plan out all my meals for the week. This includes breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. I even have a day dedicated to planning my meals for the week. For snacks, I created a master snack list so I can simply ask J what she wants.

2. All meals are the same time everyday. This helps me to get an idea of when to start preparing for meal time. I tend to get caught up in whatever task I am doing so I normally schedule meal times with my ATracker Pro app from Wonderapps to remind me that it is meal time.

3. Use A Tracker Pro App. It’s one thing to buy an app because you know you need it and quite another to actually use the app. This app is so awesome and easy to use. I can customize the schedules to fit my life. I added 5 major tabs in my app: BLOG, KIDS, CHURCH, HOME, and ME. BLOG time is scheduled from 5am – 8am so I simply add that time slot to my app. Sadly, I have developed a love-hate relationship with the timer because I hate being told my time is up. If you would like to see this app in action, simply click here.

4. I print and fill out my to do list (a template that I created) the night before.

5. I choose my clothes the night before. I intentionally choose clothes that I can simply throw on my winter boots and coat and step outside. My ‘uniform’ is typically a pair of jeans, a tunic or shirt along with a sweater.
These 5 things have saved me from future embarrassment and chaos. How do you keep your day on track? Let me know in the comments below. If these tips have helped, then be sure to check out Learning 2 Walk’s Facebook page where I share more organizational resources.
