I found one of the best Life Planners on the market and I just had to tell everyone about it!
Life Planners are what you use to help you plan your life, create your goals and achieve your dreams.
Before I became a mom, I was very proud of my time management and productivity.
In fact, I was a time management coach and others paid me to help them to achieve their goals and manage their time better.
However, after becoming a mom, everything changed.
Baby Taking Over My Life
It all started with our newborn. Even though she was a comparatively easygoing child, she still turned my life upside down.
My sleep got frequently disrupted and my productivity and time management all disappeared.
But I was OK with that. My kid is one of the most important people in my life but she is definitely the neediest by far.
Nevertheless, I was prepared to give up everything for her, including my own previous dreams and goals.
Some might say that I was giving up too much but everything seemed to pale in comparison when it came to her needs and happiness.
Things that I used to pursue didn’t seem so important after my kid entered my life.
Things like my ambition, financial security, material things, hobbies, relaxation, recognition…I realized that all these things could not compare to the happiness that I felt now with her in my life.
So I decided to devote myself to her full-time.
I didn’t look for a nanny so that I could go back to work.
I didn’t entrust her to a daycare so that I could get a break.
I was there for her literally 24/7.
It was exhausting but our relationship is so close and amazing.
Please note that I don’t think that you need to stay home with your kid to have a close and amazing relationship with your child. I just made the decision to stay home with her.
Returning To My Old Goals
As my baby grew up, she became more independent and transitioned into preschool.
I then started to feel the desire to pursue something for myself…to achieve something for myself that I could be proud of.
However, I knew that some of my old goals and dreams didn’t interest me any longer, while others, continued to tug at my heart.
I realized that I needed to start journaling and planning my life’s goals again. I needed to achieve clarity, to decide what to give up and what to pursue again.
The Best Planner On The Market
I believe that it was the Law of Attraction at work when I came across this Law of Attraction Life Planner.
Oh my gosh, it is AMAZING.
This planner is by far, the best one that I have seen on the market so far.
I was organized before but this planner really helped me to gain clarity, record my thoughts and plan my life. I love it so much! It has definitely been the best investment I have made this year so far.
The planner guides you through many different important pieces of life planning including the following:
- Mission and vision statement.
- Big goals.
- Vision board.
- Monthly action plan.
- Weekly action plan.
I used to guide my own clients through these processes when I was coaching but it’s so wonderful to have it all in a book-like form with guidance provided!
How I Plan My Day As A Full-Time Mom
Every morning after I wake up and spend time praying, reading my Bible and meditating, I will look at my Life Planner to remind me of my goals and plan my To-Do’s.
I don’t plan my day in minute detail as my time management has to stay flexible to suit my kid’s whims and other curved balls that she throws at me.
However, I do plan my day in large chunks of hours.
For example, I might plan my morning to be focused on achieving 2 things only; to clean the kitchen and to take my kid to the museum.
My afternoon will be focused on feeding my kid lunch, getting her to nap and scheduling my social media posts.
My evening’s task will be getting dinner ready, watering the plants in our garden and working on my next blog post.
I might also schedule a few other smaller tasks to be completed throughout the day like returning my dentists’ phone call or renewing library books online.
At night, I like to reflect on what I achieved during the day. It makes me feel so good.
Some people might be more detailed in their planning but I have found that by keeping things flexible with lots of wriggle room, I don’t stress myself (and my child).
This planner has jump-started me back into achievement mode again, with scheduled time to include my kid’s needs.
I now wake up in the morning feeling excited and go to sleep at night feeling that I have achieved something.
If you are not sure if this is something that will work for you, there is a 30 day version one that is slightly less bulky and cheaper.
However, I think that it is worth it for you to pay the little extra to get the full year version.
The full year version not only has a few extras like a full year calendar, but you also have the option to choose the cover design and color. I personally don’t really like the 30 day version’s cover but that could just be me.
Let us know if you get yours and how your journey is going. Or let me know if it has changed your life. I know that I love it!!!
