Let’s get organised in September

by Katrina - The Organised Housewife

Spring is here!!  I say this with a huge smile across my face, I love this time of year, I really don’t like being cold or too hot, so this weather now is just perfect or me.  Plus, it also mean’s it’s spring clean season!  I won’t waffle on too much about spring cleaning as I have planned a week of spring cleaning posts for you next week.  So mark your calendars Monday 5th September is Spring Cleaning Week, I will help motivate you why it’s good to have a spring clean, set you up so you are ready and help you determine where to start!

Spring Cleaning Tips The Organised Housewife

August would have to be one of my most busiest months I have had this year.  I have put my time management skills to the test to make sure that I have been able to complete all tasks I wanted to on time.  I haven’t been able to achieve everything that I wanted before I wanted, but I can’t dwell on that, it is what it is and I know that I have done my best and made a good plan going forward.

I’m in the process of giving my newsletters a fresh new look, you’ll see changes in the next week or two, LOL, it’s like I’m spring cleaning the blog!Katrina Springer, The Organised Housewife

Accountability – My August to-do list

  • plant some more herbs – I didn’t get around to doing this, the day I wanted to do it, I got up out of bed, put on my gardening clothes ready to drive to the nursery to get some seedlings, but it was raining.  Spring is the right time to get out into the vege garden anyway.
  • exercise more – YES!! I have been out walking quite a few morning each week.  I feel so much better for it, last Saturday I went for a walk, came home did 3 loads of washing, baked some biscuits, cleaned the cupboard doors in my kitchen and was ready to make a start on cleaning the blinds, but had to rush to have a shower to take my youngest to Netball.  I just loved how energetic I felt, it’s a great feeling.
  • a few work projects – yes and no.  I released the new look 2016 Christmas Planner which many of you have downloaded already, thank you for the lovely feedback I have received so far. I’m really excited to launch my 2017 calendar with you very soon, I am just working on taking a few photos for it, then it will be ready… eeekkkk!!!!

My September to-do list

I have an action packed September, I am not setting myself any new tasks, instead, I want to complete the ones I have already started.  I much prefer to work on one project at a time, I feel I am more productive working on something from start to finish, then moving to the next project.

I am loving this months quote on the monthly planner page, relates to me right now, not to focus on getting it done, but rather make each day count and be productive.
