+app suggestion to help the organized mind
i’m a scheduled lady! 📋idk if it’s the capricorn energy or being raised in a high demand religion or just who i am but.. i LOVE a plan.
🖤i keep alarms on vibrate via my watch to keep the day moving with ease & knowing, nothing matters as much as ensuring my children & i are emotionally regulated
i use the app notion for keeping me sane & having a place to place the extras in my mind full time.
notion allows so much personal input that it was a bit of work to learn how to use. but once i got there, it was so nice! like a personal assistant!
my days do change slightly with the seasons, my work & cleaning schedule but the start & end are usually the same! right now, my husband does mornings (before 07:15) with the kids before he heads to work which usually includes breakfast & ensures i have some alone time before the day begins! & i like to do an arm workout & light cardio, because….mondays.🤗
what apps or tools do you use to keep organized in the day? is there a trick you have to wake up refreshed & ready?! i’d love to know! ✨
