Planner Challenge-Day 12

Well, how's it going?  Have you been keeping up with your new planner?  Are you working toward your goals?  Check your progress today and see the original post for the days ahead.  Today, I'm going to show you some progress I've made on my desk. You might remember the horrific photo from this post!  It looks pretty good from here but, I'll admit there's more to be done!

Planner Challenge-Day 10

Have you prepped your planner this week?  Well, today is the day!  Sunday is day 10 of our challenge and I'd like you to take some time to fill in your planner this week.  You can find the challenge here.

Since I don't carry my planner with me, but it is open next to my computer where I can see it daily, I put any appointments that I make on my phone calendar.  During my morning routine, I check my planner and my emails before heading off to work.  As you saw here, I color code events so I know who needs to be where, when.  

Planner Challenge-Day 9

Oops, I had this ready to post and forgot yesterday, sorry!

What is one health goal that you have for this year?
Mine is to work out at least 3 times a week with the true goal being 4 times.  I enjoy Zumba, Pilates, and walking or hiking.  I am also a member of the YMCA where I usually use the fitness center.

Planner Challenge-Day 8

Today's challenge is to hare a tip on how you stay organized.  This could be anything that helps you and may help someone else, so please-share!  I have 2: I have a routine each evening before I go to bed, I always prepare for the next day what I need to get out the door in the morning.  I set out my clothes, pack my gym bag, prep my lunch so it is quick and easy, pack my school bag, etc.  This helps eliminate the "I forgot to...." in the morning!  I encourage my teens to do the same, but you now, they're teens and I have NO IDEA what I'm talking about!

Another thing I do is color code my planner.  I have these great markers that I use exclusively for my planner (that way they don't get lost/moved).  I <3 them!  Work, family, myself and each of my girls has their own color-that way, I can tell at a glance who is doing what.

Planner Challenge-Day 6

All righty...today you are to try a new kind of exercise.  Not NEW like something that has rarely been done, but new to YOU-out of your regular routine!  I prefer Pilates, Zumba, walking, and a basic gym workout at the YMCA.  But I want to add something new to the mix.  Once a week I want to be sure I fit in a walk or a HIKE.  Now, I've certainly hiked before but it is on rare occasions.  My goal is twice a month.  There are some nice hikes in my local area, so why not take advantage of them, I say?

 Soooo...this was my plan for the day.  But it POURED last night-flash flood warnings and everything!  Now, you have to remember us Southern California people aren't quite sure what W-A-T-E-R is; let alone what to do when it falls from the sky!!! It is soggy out there, people, I'm talking a great, muddy mess! So, instead, I am going to the Y.  We'll save that hike for when it dries out a bit. Sorry!
