Got It Done List!

Growing up I always remember my mother telling me " there is not enough hours in the day!"
Growing up I would always think there is too many hours in the day!
Growing up I never understood why mothers said this!
Now that I am a mother I get it!

There is never enough hours in the day!
When you get to your to do list, and start crossing things off, the time sure flies!

Hi I'm Kandis and welcome to Classy Classic's By Kandis!
This week's blog is all about not tackling that to do list, but to sit back and look at your done list.

As a mother of 4 children ages 10 down to 6 months, there is always something needing to be done!
As busy as the kids keep me, add a husband, garden and house work, there is very little time in between for the little things in life.

There is always something and someone who needs me somewhere. There was a vlog from Kimmy on she's in her apron where she talked about this done list, and with summer already coming to the end ( well before schools in), I thought I would share it with you!

Some days I kill myself getting that list done, other days I drag on and beat myself up with not getting enough done. There really is no win in my mind lol.

This list can be done at the end of a day, week month or season!
Let your mind rest as you see just what you accomplished, it will be so much more then you think!
Let's give it a try yes!
Little self help will go along way on some days.
When you need a pat on the back after a long lazy day it can help pick you up, remind yourself that it's ok to take a day off now and then, because even when you think you got nothing done, you can reassure yourself you still did what you feel "needed" to be done.

So let's look at my done list on a day that I felt I did nothing! With a mama "rest" day I still got:

• Beds made
• Workout done
• Breakfast made
• Kids taken care of.... all day play, food, drinks, baths, bed 
• Dishes done so many dishes all the time....ps I don't have a dishwasher
• Supper made
• Laundry downstairs and sorted
• Night routine done look for my routine blog for more on this! I also plan on making a new blog on my routines!
• Time in the garden 
• Of coarse coffee time

Evan with the what I remember doing is more then I would ever imagine I did on a no motivation day!

So as you can see just because that to do list isn't completely done, you will always be doing something!

Don't forget doing nothing is sometimes more then you think!

I find my routines help on days like this. My basics will still get done, and the in between can wait.

Have you sat down and thought about what a done list. It will help ease your mind, and anxiety on the off days.
Don't feel bad about taking a day, to just sit and chill, reflect, and regain the strength and brain power to keep on keeping on.

I had someone very smart reassure me, it is ok to take the time. Would you forget to charge your phone when it dies, or are you gunna charge it.

Just as our bodies we need some chill, researching time. When in doubt take a day to sit, plan, bake, sleep, be old fashioned like me and paint your nails. 🤣

What ever you do don't let guilt take over a rest day, take it as a look what I actually did day!

Give it a try what is on your done list. Way more then you give yourself credit for, I bet you will surprise yourself on what you actually accomplished without knowing you did. 
Have you been stretched, not sure what you have left!
Try a done list and go to bed with a great feeling. You need some time just as the toddler needs a rest!😉
