One of the things that has helped me acheive a more balanced life is developing my next day's plan before I go to bed. I have found that knowing what my feet are going to do when they hit the floor from sun up to sun down maximizes my ability to get a lot accomplished during the day!
We are all given the same number of hours and minutes.
What we do with them determines a large part of our success.
Now not all days go according to plan, however I have discovered through trial and error that they are much more productive if I have a plan in place. A plan to me means that on one sheet of paper I have listed all of my activities, appointments, down time, kids activities, errands, phone calls in the order they will occur from the start of the day until the end of the day. Scheduling time for daily devotions and prayer, as well as exercise and proper nutrition. If I have a plan in place I am less likely to eat poorly or forget that I do need some down time every day.
We can run ourselves ragged with commitments, but being able to have a visual picture of each days events allows us the opportunity to make sure we are leading a balanced life.
