Planning the week ahead

Try sitting down today and making a list of 10 things you want to accomplish this week. If you do at least 6 of them, then that is 60% of what you wanted done done, and would be an accomplishment even if you don't get to complete all your plans.

but of course! nothing will happen for weeks when nothing is planned, but just as soon as you plan something, along comes a dozen other things to do!

Isn't it a shame how life always gets in the way of our plans?

Great idea about getting your house in order, but how are you going to earn extra money on the internet? I'm very interested in that. We my lotters have to stick together.

If I have a lot I want to get done it always helps if I make a list. I will do thing I really don't want to do just so I can cross it off. Something always comes up that screws up your plans. I think that is just part of making plans.

I'd bet that by the end of the week and you look back, few, if any, of your plans will be carried out as planned. That's how my week goes anyway. I plan all kinds of things but they rarily happen as planned, unless of course, it's golf.

I try to always plan out my weeks. I usually know what I have going on my work schedule doesn't change which is really nice. Some times I have to work extra days but I'm usually able to fit them right in. My typical week looks like this: Sunday: Monday: Tuesday: 6am wake up 7am drop daughter at babysitters 730am be at work 6pm get out of work 630 pick daughter up 700 get home 730 dinner 800 bath time 830 bed time for little one 10 bed time for me and hubby Wednesday: 8am wake up 10am playdate at a friends 2pm getting home rest of the day cleaning, laundry cooking a good dinner Thursday: 8am wake up 10am run any errons home finish up laundry cook dinner Friday: 8am wake up 10am library 11am grandmas house home after that to do what ever needs to be finished Saturday: 930am dance class afternoon family time evening good dinner and movie or out to dinner The last couple weeks I have been dealing with: Contractors for my grandmothers house almost every day. Her house flooded and a lot is being replaced. My moms moving so we have been trying to go through stuff, move it, donate it, and so on. I have been working extra days too. This week 2 extra days so far maybe more! My daughters dance recital was last week so the 2 weeks before we had all kinds of extra classes, photo shoots and so on. Needless to say I have a pretty busy schedule and have to keep on top of it!

Sure hope nothing buggers it up for you GL

hi jugsjugs when I read that last sentence it made me think of an old quotation The saddest words penned by men, are it might have been. I know so many times I try to plan out what I want to do in a week, and something always screws up my plans,And I have only myself to care about, not a large family, so whats my excuse? life I guess, and unexpected things.Oh and of course mylotting too, as I do spend a lot of time here as I have more free time than most people here.

I try to do as I go, if I don't have any other plans that are coming up for the upcoming weekend. I have another busy week as usual. Here I go back to be tired and worn out. I would love to have a serious break.

I hope your plans are going good this week, and that your getting everything done. I don't like to make plans because something will always come up and get me all sidetracked. I just go with the flow around here, I never know what's going to happen next..lol.

i don't really plan much as i know it will all go wrong if i do,all i know is i've got lots and lots of cleaning to do,and i think i'm going out on wednesday with my boyfriend

I personally do plan everything out but I plan it in such a way that I intend to complete everything with a couple of days left in the week. Keeping in mind that the unexpected could happen. Therefore, I can have those extra days open to get other things down. Trust me, the unexpected will happen and at the worst possible times. Making out a plan will help soften the blows for most of this. When I do not plan out the week like this, I find myself struggling to get everything done. I find myself to be quite overwhelmed. Being overwhelmed in such a manner leads to a lot of stress. Stress leads to me not being as productive as I would have liked to be. In the end, it is an extremely vicious cycle that is not good. Still there is always a chance that everything will get messed up. It rarely fails.

Hi jugs!! I am not planning to go to mylot today.. I was very busy doing articles for a while. I have no project and I was thinking not to waste my time. i'd rather earn much much for me to get and earn more.

I want to fully book my schedule this week. I want to do something that gives big advantage to me, that I can earn more money! I will write later what are my plans and i will make this one happen.

Yes, plans are something we often cannot live with OR without. As a famous poet once wrote "The best laid plans of mice and men often go awry!" ("gang aft agley" actually...same thing)

It reminds me of the words John Lennon said,"Life is what happens to you while you are busy making other plans". It is annoying but it tends to happen! Sometimes I wonder if it is worth making plans in the first place! I still plan my days but I keep in mind that anything could happen to change the course of events so I don’t get too upset at the unexpected phone call, visitor or heaven forbid major disaster!

Ha..ha..how nice this live with planning. I have no planning to fill few day ahead but yes for weekend we will going to city (because now we live in small village) to send My mom back by filght at sunday.

I see your week is so full and booked. Did you forget to set a little time aside for yourself? I think you need to do that too for health and peace of mind. :)

You already got a full of hands right now. Relax, don't take this obligation too hard for you. You will just stress out. When you already set the plans, then just get over it. But remember to be flexible, plans don't always go accordingly.
