There is no one way to manage your time. The most important factor of successful time management is the COMMITMENT to planning and using your time more effectively. In addition, be sure to schedule the time to regularly re-assess your time management effectiveness. Is your system working for you? Creating your own effective time management system and finding out what works best for you may take some time, but it is definitely worth it.

I read this one at http://www.onlineorganizing.com/NewslettersArticle.asp?newsletter=go&article=19 in the last few days. So true! And a very encouraging thought. My little photo album is working well when I remember to use it. It really does cover all the things I need each day. I will remember though that after this baby comes it could all change.

Btw had some strong contractions last night. It had been a big day, cleaning the oven and under it (what a mess after evicting those rats). It reminded me that baby could be here very soon.

Today I am really going to focus on keeping up with dishes, washing some clothes (don’t mind if they are in a pile of clean clothes when baby comes but I prefer to wash them myself), and moving everyone’s clothing drawers around. Ds2 is going to get my dresser drawers now he is a Big Boy, ds3 will get ds2’s drawers and baby will get ds3’s drawers. A baby change mat fits very nicely on top of ds3’s drawers hence the arrangement. My clothes for now will go in a box or on one of those mobile hanging trolleys. After bubs is born I will consider my options for the best storage of my clothes.

Dh seems to be doing very well with his college studies and is feeling confident he will end up with a pretty good grade average. I am proud of him for sticking at it. He has realised along the way that he needs to keep up his diabetes and blood pressure medications to function best. So glad he came to his senses.

Well, off to get the day started.

Best wishes,
