I am a newer reader of this series, and I especially loved this one. Family connections to Pittsburgh made me love it even more🖤💛. Thank you!!
The sharer seems so organized! I am also a firm believer in the evening kitchen cleanup. I always say “my future self will thank me” when I do it.
I work part time from home, and I find the transition from work to home imagery of dropping the briefcase to be very helpful!
I found myself thinking about financial organization methods recently, and I think I will implement a 30 min period once a week to handle these tasks myself instead of handling as they come in. Maybe a simple calendar schedule would be useful to the sharer or adding it to her weekly checkin with her husband. My husband and I generally discuss our budget when we settle our credit card bills once a month.
If the sharer likes yoga/strength training, yoga with Adriene and Nourish Move Love have free content on YouTube for inside workouts. Pittsburgh hills and winter weather are no joke so I understand the need to change it up.
Love that you shared the added chaos of blended family life and joint custody! We spent the last 8-months settled into full-time parenting of my stepson and the routine was very welcomed despite the busy. We're now back to 50/50 and it just feels so much more chaotic and disruptive to have completely different weeks and to need to do so much more planning around whether he is with us or not.
I applaud your ability to handle a constantly changing calendar. I love routine and a new schedule every few months, plus a partner with a very demanding work schedule would be difficult.
Love all of these and especially this one. Many thanks to sharer. With the first question (about creating time with her partner) it made me think of @Marina Cooley and hobbies. Is there a hobby they could do at home together (puzzle, board games, painting or creative types). Maybe even alternate who plans a monthly (or bi-monthly) date night? It could be glass blowing, rock climbing, anything!
My husband and I met playing sand volleyball, so we are happiest just peppering in the driveway (but we live in the south where it’s warm-though he is from PA and went to the University of Pittsburgh #H2P!)
Also recommend to schedule the time in the calendar and protect it 🤎
When I was in a season of needing to fit in workouts at home, I found time-bound programs like MM100 from BODi to be really useful. I cringed at the MLM aspect of it, but the workouts were short enough to be doable and tough enough to be effective. And the time-bound (like 100 days in a row, other programs with 21 days in a row, etc.) kept me consistent. The only thing I didn't care for was the streaming aspect- I don't have access to them now even though I paid for the subscription then. I wish I'd had DVDs so I could return to them when I want.
