Prep Talk Thursday | Business + Encouragement
It’s Thursday, you know what that means..it’s time for another round of prep talk!!
The weekend is almost here and your to do list is still a mountain high from when you made it Monday, are we right?! Don’t worry, we are in the same boat with you. I think we all look at the lives of others through a perfectly posed life on SM and think…”wow, they got it all together!” NOPE. Not at all. Sometimes we even fall into the trap that we have it all together. Amen?! That ache of “just one more minute in bed won’t hurt,” is hitting you hard. Or maybe you haven’t found your groove yet because you have been doing your normal routine! We are so with you.
This weekend we have off, but we still dislike leaving our offices with a mountain high to do list on the desk. So, today, we are turning off our phones notifications. YES, you heard me right! We are shutting off our phones notifications and putting it in a completely separate room! Why? Because every TING or BEEP our phones make, distracts us. It pulls us away from the task at hand…and its just tiresome to keep having that happen. Try it, it is SO refreshing! You can try this while you are having your quiet time or maybe while you are playing with you kids before bedtime!
One tiny change I (Sara) am doing now is having a bed time routine strictly set in place! Now, I will be the first to admit that I am NOT 100 perfect at this, but when I do have it in place…it works wonders! I simply switch my electronics from ON to OFF at a time that works for me. I typically do this two hours before bed that way I can spend time with Jake, Cali, and catch up on my reading! It helps my eyes rest, my brain relax from trying to process too much, and it helps prepare me for a good nights rest!
There are so many things in our lives, businesses, and personal agendas that we know we could be doing instead of checking our phones/emails every bing we hear! We let IT take over our business and life rather than we controlling our time with it.
Today, do yourself a favor and do something that you have been meaning to do! For example, for the past 8 months I have been DYING to paint my fire place! I put it off so long I started to forget until Jake brought it up. On Labor Day weekend, I painted it and it felt AMAZING to do it!
