Even more so, when in your heart it’s already spring, but your body is still hibernating. This time of the year has a strange force that persuades you to tidy up. It persuaded me too, but this time it wasn’t about cleaning windows or keeping stock of the closets, but about some order in the daily life. Until recently, chaos was my one and only routine, and I somehow managed to get along with it, but when two additional little chaos-makers entered my life with their small feet pitter-patter, it was finally time to pull myself together. But how?
I thought I could use a solid plan, the kind so far I had only found on the bookstore shelf for successful managers. I need to plan out my day, week, month. It’s a bit embarrassing to admit that I have to be told when to get up, prepare breakfast and what to buy – it just seems that I can fix a broken bumper with a clip and a zip tie, but planning a menu for the whole family for a few days ahead completely overwhelms me.
