@Jenn @ Beautiful Calling, You and me both. Right now it’s 1:30 here. I’m shot. That’s a great time for me to get my “fun” emails and blogging stuff done.

I am still in the process of discovering just what works for us in terms of getting everything done in a day…

I do find that my energy levels dip in the afternoon. Mornings are definitly the time to get things done for me!

I am also one of those that needs to tackle big stuff in the morning. If I don’t it just doesn’t get done. I have tried SO many routine variations over the years and I am slowly moving toward finding what works for me. I stumbled for a long time however because I felt I needed to have a set in stone schedule and life just doesn’t work that way. I’ve found I need a flexible schedule, I struggled with that realization because the phrase itself is counterintuitive.

So my flexible schedule is like this:

Laundry-at least a load a day, preferably two
Mon-General pickup from weekend mess
Tues-vacuuming
Wednesday-Bathrooms
Thursday-Dusting
Friday-Vacuuming

Right now everything else just gets done on an “as-needed” basis. I hope to one day be organized enough to have a time scheduled for everything.

I am the most productive early in the morning before everyone gets up. Less interruptions that way:-)

I’m really productive in the morning, but also right after lunch. Somedays if I’m not productive in the morning, it kicks in around dinner or at bedtime–which tends to get in the way. I cannot sleep if I have major things unfinished. Hoping I can just keep the production up in the morning so that I avoid that “late night rush”.

I really need to get out my Home Planner. I made up a really nice one that I used everyday. And then life went a little weird and it has been tucked in a cabinet for quite awhile. I will have to change it up a little to include a 19 month old to the mix. Thanks for reminding me of it!

I am totally most productive late at night. I am blessed to have small children who usually don’t wake up until 8am.

I’m definitely one to get things going in the morning.
