151 - How I Plan My Day in Blocks (Without Losing My Mind)

Hey mama,Let’s be honest waiting for motivation is like waiting for your toddler to offer to clean the bathroom. It’s… not coming. 😅That’s why the second step in the Get Sh*t Done Method is all about timing, not mood.🕒 The Second Step of My Get Sh*t Done Method: Plan Your TimingIf you’re stuck doing everything and nothing all at once, this shift is gonna to feel like a breath of fresh air.💡 Why Timing Works (Even When Motivation Doesn’t)You don’t need to “feel like it” to start, mama. You just need a plan that fits your actual day.Here’s how:* Break your day into natural blocks: like morning, midday, and evening.* Anchor tasks to real-life events (think: “15-minute tidy after lunch” instead of “clean the house”).* Use micro-blocks—15 to 30 minutes—for focused work.* And the secret weapon? A timer.Seriously. Setting a 10-minute timer tells your brain, “This won’t take forever,” which makes it easier to start (and finish).🏡 What This Looks Like in My LifeMorning block: Get dressed, get kids going, jump in the car and get to school!Midday block: Write down my top 3 priorities.Evening block: 15-minute family cleanup before bedtime.Nothing fancy.
