Do you want to wake up happy and looking forward to the day ahead? Does this seem impossible because you’re too stressed and your life feels chaotic? There is hope that your chaotic life can be transformed into a smooth-flowing order that brings you peace. Did you know that the simple act of planning can change your life?
Let me share with you some easy ways that can help you un-clutter your mind and change your life by getting yourself out of an unorganized and frustrating daily schedule.
10 Ways That Planning Can Change Your Life
- Ask yourself why you are in in a rut, disorganized, and frustrated? Why can’t you accomplish what you want to do? Having a list of tasks isn’t enough. Write down some of these problems.
- What do you really want? Are you looking to have a simple life or do you want to accomplish a huge list of things. Are you wanting peace? List your general goals.
- Don’t blame yourself for the rut or disorganization. Write down what you need to run your life smoothly.
- Realize that you can reach more goals with a plan. Goals should be defined and there needs to be a step-by-step plan to reach them. Write down defined goals.
- Write out your vision.
- Make a list of short-term goals and tasks that are necessary.
- Think about your weaknesses. How are your weaknesses stopping you from reaching your goals?
- Encourage yourself. Remind yourself that you have worth and that there are many things that you can accomplish. Use Scripture verses or affirmations to encourage yourself. You can do things that are important to you.
- Utilize your good attitude and emotions to help you create a written plan.
- Use an all-inclusive planner to get everything in a written form. Follow your plan to change your life.

This sounds good to me
Thank you 🙂
I’m considering sharing this post with one of my loved ones. She is pushing away making plans to keep her life running smoothly. I have suggested she make meal plans to help with co-parenting and she is really resisting. Maybe she would be able to use this planner since it’s so portable. 🙂 Thanks for the helpful post.
That sounds like a lovely thing for you to do. This planner is great for someone who has never used a planner or goal-setter before. It’s so easy to learn!
I think that it would be great for keeping track of meals and what your kids are eating too. I look forward to the day that my loved one has her life in order.
It has lots of room to help keep track of things 🙂
Writing down all your realistic goals is the best advice you can give, always helpful for thought process, and lots more. Great way to start.
Yes, so true!
Thank you
You’re welcome 🙂
Great advice, we all need a little calm in our chaotic lives these days!
Great advice, we all need a little calm in our lives these days!
We certainly do!
I need a planner like this. Since my husband passed away I am at loose ends and need to take back my life.
I’m very sorry for your loss.
These ideas apply to everyone at every stage of life!
You’re right 🙂
I am a major planner! I find that is one thing that not only keeps me focused but helps give me that feeling (illusion?) of control that I so desperately feel like I need this year.
That feeling or illusion helps though. It at least gives us a little confidence to try and stay on track. 🙂
This sounds like a great system. I could use a planner in my life. Thanks for posting!
Glad you liked it, Christina 🙂
These are great tips. I really need to work on this. Last few months have been so stressful.
Yes, everything has been crazy! I’m working on it, too. Every little bit of organization is definitely helpful 🙂
It helps me to write things down. My memory isn’t what it used to be.
I do the same….gotta have a list 🙂
This is a great article. Thanks for all of the ideas.
Glad to be helpful!!!
Thank you for these tips!
You’re welcome, Christina 🙂
I am a planner AND a list maker. I have tried to use the apps on my phone to make these lists buy I find that I prefer the tangible books like the one you have here. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for sharing this advice with us.
Thanks for the above list. I am going to print it out and hang it on my fridge!
