My rituals keep me going, even when the going is hard.

 

When I first became a mother, I actually laminated a morning, afternoon, and evening ritual (chores) for myself because I was so distracted by my premature baby and the care he required.  I would find my cold lunch in the microwave 3 or 4 hours after I had placed it there to warm up, being pulled away from the kitchen by my baby’s cries.  I could not keep my thoughts in order those first few weeks, partially because I was so enthralled in my little one’s loveliness, and partially because I had never been able to stay home full time before.  I was beginning to wonder how I had ever been able to function full time as an RN, when I got busy and put down my required tasks on paper.

 

 

Making Lists and Keeping Track

After making lists and carefully following them, I was amazed at how much I was able to accomplish back in those days.  I still have a clipboard with my rituals listed, and I follow it loosely even now.

 

What about you, do you make lists, or have daily rituals that help you keep up?
