Why Routines Fall Apart
Ever feel like no matter how hard you try, even your best routines just seem to unravel?
You're not alone.
I used to live in a constant state of randomness, tackling tasks scattershot and leaving things half-finished. Even a routine as simple as making my bed every morning felt like an impossible habit to keep going. 🛏️ I tried all the apps, checklists, and hacks, but once the novelty of a new routine wore off, I would slip back into my old patterns.
But mastering my time-management and productivity was deeply important to me. I wanted to do my part keep the dream my husband and I had alive of earning our income from home as a team, home educating the children together, and pursuing projects family projects that we knew mattered for the Kingdom.
Unwilling to let a lack of self-discipline be the reason we gave up on our most life-giving goals, I’d push myself into frantic bursts of productivity and sacrifice sleep to get caught up. But these sprints always left me completely drained. In 2016, after a 5-week sprint of trying to hold everything together, I nearly ended up in the hospital with an adrenal crash.
(That’s when I knew something seriously needed to change...)
10 Tips for Planning with your Husband
My husband Kyle stood by the coffee pot, resisting the urge to brew a full strength flask of pour over. I stood by the stove making dinner. We were both staring pensively at the kitchen sink, thinking through the new problems we each faced.
We couldn’t have planned for that at the beginning of this week.
Thankfully, “that” was not any kind of a crisis—not even close. It was just one of those mundane situations that creates a domino effect in your schedule when you've been given so much abundance to steward. We’ve built plenty of margin into our family’s week rhythms to handle situations like these.
But this week was unique: our whole family onboarded with a new chiropractor, I was taking my mom to an out-of-state book sale, and our typical margin day had been committed to helping someone in an extraordinary situation with an all-day project. That meant we needed to run a tighter ship than usual schedule-wise in order to meet our responsibilities to the family business, my husband’s remote day job, homeschooling, and our local community.
So the unexpected logistics threw a significant wrench in our confidence that we could pull the rest of the week off without canceling something that was important to us.
Standing there in the kitchen, we sidestepped the temptation to put the kids to bed, brew the coffee, and pull a late-nighter to get more work projects done right then and there when we were thinking about them. (That would’ve been canceling sleep, which is also very important to us! Ha ha.)
Instead, we engaged in something we’ve come to practice like a lifeline: a fast but wildly effective joint planning session.
I’ve been using the Evergreen Planning System for four months and I love it. It is helping me organize my life. Since going through some health challenges, then becoming a mother, my life has not been as organized as it used to be. :) This system is helping me get my life back in order while being flexible enough to accommodate daily challenges. My favorite part is the dutch door in the Classic Day Planner where I can see the weekly plan as I plan each day. It helps me so much! I love the dot journal pages and the prompts in the daily planner; especially hydration, movement, targets and gratitude. But you don’t have to use them if you don’t want to. The flexibility of this system is marvelous!! I like that the annual planner does not have dates, so I can start it anytime. The dot journal pages are wonderful! It is a great combination of a structured planer and a bullet journal.
All this fits in the gorgeous leather cover. It is so soft and supple and fits the Classic Planner, the Annual Planer and more! There is so much space! I have an additional small notebook in mine. I use this for taking notes at meetings, zooms and phone calls. The small loops in back are great for adding a pencil, pen and wash tape. A nice little add on purchase is the accessory pack that includes pretty paperclips and a binder clip to help me find the pages I’m using at the moment.
I am so excited I discovered the Evergreen Planning System and I look forward to using for many years to come.
I’ve been using the evergreen planning system for almost a year now, and I’m not exaggerating when I say that it has completely transformed my life! Not only is my everyday life now more organized and less chaotic, but I am finally making progress on goals that I’ve had on my list for YEARS. It’s the best feeling! I am unbelievably grateful for Evergreen, and I can’t recommend it enough. Try it now!!! You’ll be so glad you did.
I am not exaggerating, this planner is absolutely the best in the world. It has two full pages per day in the classic, which I love (and need). The annual is perfect for keeping track of long term goals and progress towards those. The cover perfectly keeps everything contained and easy to access. No more piles of notebooks, index cards, and post it notes. I take it everywhere. This planner has made a huge difference in my life and it will in yours as well! I promise you won’t regret buying it!
I love having this gorgeous planner! It allows me to keep all of my important information in one spot! I love it.
This planner system has given me clarity and sanity back into my days & weeks! It’s so useful to see the big picture of your week, month, quarter and year, but also can get into the details of planning out the rhythms which make up your days. This planner is such a blessing to my home & life!
When you hear Christ’s call to “seek first the Kingdom of God, and His righteousness,” the Evergreen Planning Method will be there to help you figure out what that tangibly looks like, both in terms of your long-range vision and an average Tuesday morning.
