I’m sure we all know the saying…

“If you want to make God laugh, show him your plans.”

No matter how much we try to take control of our routines, life happens and plans will get derailed. It’s inevitable. It took me a long time to realize that just because a plan doesn’t go as planned, it doesn’t always mean we should throw our hands up and let go of the rest. We simply need to adjust.

When it comes to me...

Have you ever noticed that when you feel overwhelmed, you stop taking care of yourself the way you should be?

And since you feel overwhelmed, you stay in that rut. This is a nasty...

Do you ever feel like no matter how many times you repeat your home routine, there are still areas that are getting neglected? It can be incredibly overwhelming when everything seems to pile up on our to-do lists faster than we can cross them off, so it’s important to have a system that not only helps you feel more organized, but is also effective so you can actually get things done. That is what we are talking about today!

Do you ever get confused on how many accounts you should have when I’m talking about putting a budget routine in place and all of the “funds” I recommend? I want to clear the confusion so you can have clarity and begin making those positive changes to your financials. I only recommend three, so this will be pretty quick.
