Today I've been craving a better weekly routine. I feel like in these last few weeks in particular, every day has been a total scramble. We've been buying a lot of lunches because we haven't been organized - that gets expensive! The unpredictable schedule is probably the most frustrating part of this school year for me.. I hate not being able to plan ahead! Some weeks (like when I am in clinic) I have an idea of the general hours I'll be at the hospital.. but others vary quite a bit! I'm a big fan of maintaing a regular sleep/wake pattern.. but that has been thrown out the window this year! So tonight, I am going to quit being lazy and develop at least a bit of a weekly routine...
+ prepare lunches on Sunday evening (likely the salads from earlier this year)
+ grocery shop later in the week so we have the ingredients for the lunches
+ plan a few dinners each week to avoid multiple grocery store trips (and so the evenings aren't so hectic!)
+ maybe pick a day for laundry?
+ have a regular budget-review time (weekly? monthly?)
+ and in a dream world, plan date nights/activities occasionally!
Sometimes my goal setting is a little lofty.. so we will have to wait and see if my weekly plans end up being achievable or not..
To end with some fun: our new favorite show on our DVR is Treehouse Masters! Each episode follows the construction of a luxury treehouse.. it's right up my alley! (In our opinion) it's the perfect show to unwind to at the end of the day - it's entertaining but much less intense than the action series we record..
Have a good week! And happy early Valentine's Day!
