I\u2019ve gotten a lot done, but majorly slacked off in other areas. Particularly my toddler\u2019s pre-school activities, house cleaning, etc. But with fall approaching, I\u2019m feeling some major motivation to get stuff done. Fall has that effect on me, there\u2019s something about the cooler weather and pumpkin scented everything that seems to give me a little kick in the tushie!<\/p>\n<p>So here\u2019s my challenge- to be more productive! That\u2019s it. So here\u2019s the areas where I really want to improve:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Get up earlier- This one is SO hard for me, because I REALLY really really really like my sleep. But, starting this week, I\u2019m going to set my alarm for 6:30, have some coffee and make my family breakfast. This will give me some much needed time to myself in the morning, and keep me on track to eat healthier by starting my day off with a nice breakfast. I have a feeling my hubby and toddler will also approve.<\/li>\n<li>Have some dedicated \u201clearning time\u201d with my little guy. Before summer started we were doing really good about having themed weeks with books and activities and I really let that go over the summer. I already got him some books from the library, and we\u2019re going to start up again this week. We\u2019re doing autumn themed books over the next month, and are going to do all kinds of fall crafts and activities.<\/li>\n<li>Keep De-Cluttering- I\u2019ve been doing the #SDDClutterFree Challenge with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sodamndomestic.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">So Damn Domestic<\/a>\u00a0and I\u2019ve been even slacking off with that. But, I want to keep the momentum going. Here\u2019s to being clutter free and getting everything organized\u2026.just in time for Christmas to roll around and get more junk. But, at least there will be room for it!<\/li>\n<li>Schedule in dedicated \u201cworkout\u201d time several times a week- If you did the #GettingFitWithMrsBishop Challenge stick with it. I even broke out the elliptical last week and plan to stick with it. Hoping to get a good workout in at least 3 days a week.<\/li>\n<li>Meal Plan- I just wrote out and shopped for a meal plan for the next 2 weeks. I used to be really good about this, but again, summer got in the way. Hoping to keep it up and stay on track. This keeps me eating healthier, and helps me save money because I know everything I need to buy ahead of time.<\/li>\n<li>Morning writing\/blogging time- I want to have a set amount of time every day dedicated to getting my blog stuff together\u2026then I want to stay off the computer until the next day. Instead of spreading it out all day and wasting too much time on the internet.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Now, who\u2019s with me? What are your tips for\u00a0staying productive and kicking yourself in the butt to get stuff done?<\/p>\n<p><!--<rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/02\/22-rdf-syntax-ns#\"\n\t\t\txmlns:dc=\"http:\/\/purl.org\/dc\/elements\/1.1\/\"\n\t\t\txmlns:trackback=\"http:\/\/madskills.com\/public\/xml\/rss\/module\/trackback\/\">\n\t\t<rdf:Description rdf:about=\"https:\/\/mrsbishop.com\/2015\/08\/productive-mommy-challenge.html\"\n    dc:identifier=\"https:\/\/mrsbishop.com\/2015\/08\/productive-mommy-challenge.html\"\n    dc:title=\"Productive Mommy Challenge\"\n    trackback:ping=\"https:\/\/mrsbishop.com\/2015\/08\/productive-mommy-challenge.html\/trackback\" \/>\n<\/rdf:RDF>-->\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A list of things I&#8217;m going to change to give myself more time, and make myself a more productive Mommy. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":59675,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[43,5,1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-58283","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mommy-monday","category-mommy","category-uncategorized","has_thumb"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mrsbishop.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58283","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mrsbishop.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mrsbishop.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mrsbishop.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mrsbishop.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=58283"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mrsbishop.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58283\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mrsbishop.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/59675"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mrsbishop.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=58283"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mrsbishop.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=58283"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mrsbishop.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=58283"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
