You wrote your To Do List and now you are paralyzed by what to do first.

After I make my list I  take a moment to visualize my day. This helps me decided what is best to attack when.

The collage above represents a typical day around our home. Here is how I mind map it.

I like quiet for bible study, prayer and writing, and since I am an early bird, I will put these things first in my day before anyone is up to interrupt.

The children all can do their morning school on their own so I use this time to fit in my run. When I have finished and have showered, I start clipping coupons between marking books as the kids complete them.

During lunch break I whip together a batch of laundry soap.

In the afternoon I teach the children their science lessons and help them with experiments.

Courtney has a swimming lesson in the afternoon. I bring my knitting bag along so I can finish off a gift while I watch her swim.

While making dinner I whip up a batch of 3 minute fudge.

While dinner is in the oven,  I perform my 15 minute tidy of our bedroom and the room of the week.

Dinner is served and my To Do List is complete. I reward myself by spending the evening reading and eating fudge.

This is how visualization brings order and effectiveness to my day. I hope it helps you picture yours.
