Setting Priorities


priorities

 I've been feeling overwhelmingly stressed these days. My contact with people outside of work and SSF has been non-existent. I haven't made any plans for my wedding in weeks and don't even get me started on  my noticeable absence from both blogging and the gym. My consensus has been that my stress was related to having too much to do. It wasn't until Saturday night when I stumbled upon that quote from Maggie Fox that I realized my real problem was lack of priority.

Looking back on the last two weeks I've had  no priorities. Well, to be exact I've had about 50 priorities that all seemed equally important. Ergo, no priorities. And despite leaving work at 8 pm some days I feel like I've accomplished little to nothing over the last two weeks.

But this post isn't just about venting. It's about a solution. To follow in Maggie's lead, I've decided to start setting 3 goals for myself each and every day.  Having 3 goals will help me to narrow my focus on what's important that day and finally feel like I've accomplished something.

My goals today:
1. Finish my presentation for Wednesday
2. Go to the Gym
3. Call my friend Andrea.

How do you set priorities?

Smart Home: Linen Closet Makover

After making my New Year's Resolution to "build a beautiful home" it didn't take me long to decide on my first project... the linen closet. I don't have a before picture.. but imagine it looked like this:

what's cuter than a cat sitting in messy linen closet?

True Story.

Total Cost: $23.50
What I got: 3 (pretty) baskets to corral our baby stockpile. 

Coming up with this idea was not the hard part.   I mean, all you have to do is search "linen closet" on pinterest and you will find plenty of organization ideas. The hard part is getting the right price.

Luckily Michael's made it easy. They are currently running 50% off their entire stock of baskets.
Other great places to check for discounted baskets are goodwill or thrift stores, Hobby Lobby, and even ebay.

Happy Birthday SSF (his birthday was on Monday), I cleaned the closet. Consider this my gift to you.
