I’d love to help you simplify your meal planning. Check out my new menu planning course here.

 

Planning has been a help to me in caring well for my home and family. #planning #planner #planourdays @mferrell

I have always been a planner oriented person. I love notebooks and pens and making lists. I love seeing items I have to-do written down. It helps me to keep order and meet the needs of my family and others while still getting time to do some of the things I love to do too (like write on this blog here).

Planning My Day as a Homemaker

I'd like to walk through with you today how I use my planner to plan my days. It isn't meant to be copied but to spark ideas on ways you can plan your days working with the way God has wired you.

The days and weeks I take the time to plan well are the ones that are my most productive and efficient. I hope you'll be encouraged today to grab a few nuggets that may work for you and your life.

 

Show Notes:

Areas I Plan:

Goals for the Year – (Grow in Godliness, Love my Family, Serve in the Church, Fellowship with Christians, Evangelize non-Christians, Attend to my Work, Care for My Physical Health)

Monthly Calendar

Category List – (Home, Family, Calls/Letters, Blog Tasks, Office Work, Ministry/Church, Personal)

Weekly Calendar

Daily To-Do List

Books to Read

Top 10 Benefits I Love about Using a Planner:

  1. More productive
  2. Don't miss appointments
  3. Helps me to manage my time well
  4. Clears my mind (especially at night before bed)
  5. Memories recorded of special days or events
  6. Helps me to be intentional in my relationships
  7. Keeps me reminded of thank you's and encouraging notes to send out.
  8. I make more intentional choices
  9. I love using pen and paper instead of technology – it's a stress reliever for me
  10. I have more free time because my time is focused and not wasted

How many times does Sunday morning roll around and How many times does Sunday morning roll around and you find your heart in a state of chaos instead of calm to worship the Lord?  How many Sundays do you arrive at church and realize you haven’t taken the time all week to pray for your pastor or your church family? ⁣

"Home is the true wife's kingdom. ⁣ ⁣ Very lar "Home is the true wife's kingdom. ⁣
⁣
Very largely does the wife hold in her ⁣
hands, as a sacred trust, the happiness ⁣
and the highest good of the hearts that ⁣
nestle there. In the last analysis, home ⁣
happiness depends on the wife. ⁣
⁣
Her spirit gives the home its atmosphere. ⁣
⁣
Her hands fashion its beauty. ⁣
⁣
Her heart makes its love. ⁣
⁣
And the end is so worthy, so noble, so divine, ⁣
that no woman who has been called to be a wife, ⁣
and has listened to the call, should consider any⁣
price too great to pay, to be . . .⁣
 the light,⁣
 the joy,⁣
 the blessing,⁣
 the inspiration, ⁣
of a home. ⁣
⁣
The woman who makes a sweet, beautiful home, ⁣
filling it with love and prayer and purity, is doing ⁣
something better than anything else her hands ⁣
could find to do beneath the skies.⁣
⁣
A true mother is one of the holiest secrets of ⁣
home happiness. God sends many beautiful things ⁣
to this world, many noble gifts; but no blessing is ⁣
richer than that which He bestows in a mother who ⁣
has learned love's lessons well, and has realized ⁣
something of the meaning of her sacred calling."⁣
