Ep 034: Help Your Future Self

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This November I’m starting a Thankfulness Series. On this episode I discuss doing things now so that your ‘future self’ will thank you! </span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">More than ever before we are spending lots of time in our homes, and the need to have some organization in place is real. If you’re a busy mom of littles you’re most likely making snacks and meals round the clock, entertaining the kids, providing social and educational activities, and may even be homeschooling. Not to mention, you still have all of your other responsibilities like running a household, creating pandemic-friendly birthday parties, attempting to connect with your besties however socially-distanced you feel is appropriate, and possibly working outside the home too (even if that takes place inside the home these days)!</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">All of these things require some level of planning ahead and organizing your space and schedules to make it all work. Even if it’s not the most convenient thing to do, the effort you make now will definitely help your future self. </span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This episode had me thinking back to some past ones I’ve done (see links below) that suggest ways to simplify the organizing process, so it’s working best for the whole family! </span></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Here are the highlights from this episode:</strong></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">{5:46} Getting organized to help our future self</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">{9:17} The importance of giving yourself grace</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">{16:05} Working hard now to help your future self</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">{19:49} Having difficult conversations</span></p> <p><br /> <br /></p> <p><strong>Mentioned on this episode:</strong></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Fun Thanksgiving tradition:</span> <a href= "https://turkeyonthetable.com/"><span
