I love to Plan in my Pajamas

Thursdays are becoming my Fridays where I won't do so much. I will read with a cup of tea and plan in my Pajamas. It helps take my time and plan. We have a storm so good excuse to have an easy day. I love days where I can potter, watch a bit of TV, Youtube and perhaps some cleaning. I love writing lists.

Having a nice hot drink when it is wet outside, with a notebook, feels me up with so much joy and been planning the week ahead and it doesn't have to be a fancy notebook, just having a set of regular tools can help with making plans and just set the week ahead. I also keep track of what I want to accomplish on what days. 

I like going through appointments and special dates. It is my sons birthday soon along with my Mums and brothers so it is a very busy time of year, so it is good to have plans for home, my blogs and books, along with vlogging and meals planned and listen to some music, whilst in my PJ's.

When it comes to planning my life it is good to do it as a family thing. So you all have to plan whilst in your night clothes and do it each evening or once a week and I find it takes the chore aspect away, but a fun activity. 

It is good to be in bed and plan, with your bed clothes with a cup of tea and a bit of TV on. I like to plan whilst watching TV or Youtube as it gives me ideas of what content to post and is still being productive and being in my PJ's I plan better. I find it hard to plan when comfortable. 

When my son is in the bath tub we will chat and make plans. I have to write it down and put it on Notion as I know I will forget. It is good to have a bits done when still in your bed gear or at night getting ready for bed. 

Then once the planning is done it is time to get dressed and kick start the day. We do go out mainly in the mornings, but have a day where we have time indoors and not having to get dressed before 7am but when I feel ready to.

So do you like planning in your PJs? Does this give you ideas on planning?

Getting The Most Out of Everything

It is good to have productive days and getting endless tasks done, but be able to relax and put your to do list a side. The one thing I like is a good tasty dinner and at the moment I am doing some work on my laptop, with a bit of cake given to me from a wedding I went to and a cup of tea. 

Yes I could be sitting watching TV but to be honest there is very few programmes that interest me. 

I love having a good book to read. Check out my blog site: My Books & Stories – Reading is the food for our writing and including a good Audio book on many different topics. 

It is good to have a good breakfast and going on walks. Tomorrow it will be a busy day as having work done on the shed in the garden along with hopefully getting the fence sorted out and part of it was and still falling apart and it has taken such a long time to get someone to sort this out. 

I am home schooling now and so this has changed many things and for my son sake and us (his parents), because wants to, get a place in a school that matches his needs as it has been a mission. 

Henry helped me today make dinner and I do need to relax and not get anxious as it is great that he wants to help make food and want him to be able to cook for himself and I am lucky, he is not a fussy eater and will try many things. 

Not always been the case but making sure I encourage. As a kid I was super fussy and would not eat hardly anything. So not going to take it away from him, if he wants to try different food. The more they try the more they will be less of a fussy eater and makes life a lot easier. 

Then there is personal care, Bath time is good as I will sit with my son whilst he's in the bath and I sit on the toilet, seat down of course, and we will have a chat, then I will get myself washed and ready for the evening and wind down when it gets near the end of the day and it is good to have a good routine, that helps to get the most of the day and evening.

It is not about having the perfect day, but a day that has structure. We had a bit of lunch out today. I l like getting out each day. I would like a day or two staying in, but I feel more tired when I do, so if I can get out I feel so much better. 

So make times count in your days and that you have had time to yourself aswell with the ones you love around you. 

Have a good rest of the week.
