Busy Mom Weekly Planning

1/30/2021

Comments

 
Here's a run-down of my weekly routine to set myself up for success.
.
Sunday’s are my “get it together” days. It’s the day I start screwing my head back on from the weekend festivities and set aside some intentional time to set myself up for success for the coming week.
.
I’ve always followed this habit. For some reason, it used to go a lot more smoothly, and take less time. I’m just kidding. I totally know why it takes more work than it used to. Their names are Zoë, Saylor, and Mathéo. But, being a full time, working mom, with a collection of side hustles doesn’t mean I get to slack off on my planning. It just means I need to do it even more to maintain my sanity.

Here are a few of the things I focus on getting setup before Monday comes:
🏆 Use my digital planner to time block my week; I block out meetings and appointments I know I have coming up, as well as those tasks that I need to get done such as meal prepping. **Ask me which planner I love!
🏆 I make a todo list of things I need to get done throughout the week (i.e. call the water company, cancel subscription, email contractor, etc)
🏆 I write out my meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks) and collect the grocery list for these. Luckily, I have a library of tools that help me do this to take the legwork out. **Ask me how!
🏆 I start prepping as much of my weekly food as I can. I portion out snacks, or the ingredients I need to put the snacks or meals together. For instance, one of my fav snacks is plain Greek yogurt with a touch of honey and topped with berries. I’ll premix the yogurt and portion out into containers. Then I portion out berries into baggies. It makes it super simple to grab a bag of berries, toss them on top of my yogurt and go.
🏆 I run any errands I need to get done so I don’t have to think about them during the week. In this bucket I also knock any chores (hello mountain of laundry!)
.
Making sure I’m set up for the week is critical to having a smooth (sane) week. Once Monday comes, the days become a whirlwind of meetings, carpools, and practices. What are some ways you make sure you’re set up for success?
