Have you ever walked into a room and completely forgotten what you went in there for? Well with nine children and over a million things to do, I'm constantly forgetting what I went in a room to get. Sometimes it's a diaper. Sometimes it can be something I needed to take out for dinner. It could be almost anything. Just yesterday, my husband asked for a cup of coffee. Coffee was made so I placed it in the microwave to make it piping hot, just the way he likes it. Well, let's just say that my poor husband waited almost 30 minutes before I remembered the coffee was sitting in the microwave.
For this reason, I have to stay extremely focused and put God's word into action, "a season for every thing." To help me with this, I've decided to get myself one of those goofy timer watches to wear around the house. I mean, does anyone really use them anymore? I have a kitchen timer that I use but I'm always going to another room where I can't hear the thing go off and I forget that I've even set it (sigh). I'm guessing that, with a timer watch, it'll go with me and when it goes off it will trigger. This will really be helpful since I imagine it will be a big help when I'm doing my 15 minute clean up exercises, setting laundry, or helping me to remember my dear husband's coffee. I'm thinking that my seasons to do things will be a bit better organized with a timer watch.
I'm also using my wonderful Franklin planner to prioritize my day. I'm using the "Seasons" classic pages for my planner because I love the beautiful theme of the seasons. I find the two page daily helpful because there's plenty of room for notes. This way, even when things come up to distract me, I can still see what I have to get done in the day and can jump right back in the swing of things.
With my planner, my new timer, and the helpful hand of the Lord, I'm praying for more productive days and fewer forgetful moments.
