When you hear the word “habit,” do you immediately think good or bad? Do you think about things you shouldn’t be doing (smoking, overeating, biting your nails)? Are you filled with “I ought to…” feelings for what you’d like to do (exercise, be more organized, wake up earlier)?
Our habits and routines are the things we don’t even have to think about – they’re just part of our day. When you have good habits and simple routines in place, your day flows smoothly, because you don’t have to constantly remind yourself to get things done. Do you need more habits and routines to free up your time and mental energy? Me, too!
I am so excited about simplify 101’s brand new workshop — Simplify Your Life with Habits + Routines, which begins next Tuesday, October 4. This workshop is taught by Aby’s dear friend and fellow professional organizer, Janine Adams. Janine will take the mystery out of creating new habits and routines, so you can lead the life you want to live! Sounds pretty great, right? Here’s something else super great… We are giving one of our blog readers a free spot in this online workshop!

I would like to start setting aside “quiet time” for mommy where I could read or just be alone for a bit without cleaning. This would of course involve getting up early or getting out of the house for a bit!
AND I like you on facebook (Raquel M.) 😉

I want to get in the habit of keeping my house tidy! Our house stays spotless for a day maybe two(if I’m lucky), and then as the week goes on, we end up piling things up over another!

I would like to make a habit of going to bed earlier and waking before the kids get up.
I would like to start some good laundry habits. I tend to put laundry off until I absolutely have to do it and then I dread it even more.

Meal planning is hugely needed in our home and, although I have tried, it always seems to elude me. Would love to win!
I liked your FB page.
