The Secret Tool to Planning Your Life Effectively

What one word would you use to describe yourself right now? Would it be something empowering or would it be something self-sabotaging?  I mean let's be honest for one brief moment, can we all honestly say we can tell ourselves how beautiful we are, how put together we are, how we are Goddesses or Queens of our world? Or are we shooting ourselves down every chance we get, telling ourselves we are not worthy, maybe someday things will be better, if only, so very tired, so damned stressed, chaotic, overwhelmed, afraid, you get the idea, right?  And honestly, it doesn't matter if it's one word or several words to describe yourself, it is what it is. You either feel like you're a queen or a goddess or you don't.  And if you're in that don't crowd, you feel like life is out to get you and everyone is your enemy. You know there has to be something better waiting for you, but you just don't know how to get there or if you will ever get there. Listen to me, you will get there! Your life will get better if you allow it. You've got to start by planning your days. Plan them every day in a way that gives your life purpose. A purpose that makes you want to get out of bed every morning and hit your day with a running start. A goal that motivates you towards the life you have always wanted. The life where you know damn, well you are a goddess, a queen!  A few days ago I decided I needed a tool to upgrade my life with a daily planner. I started with the daily planner simply because I knew I needed to start with my daily life.  I had a notebook, but I'm a chaotic mess a lot of times when it comes to organization. I needed to break my life and to-do list down even further and I knew a daily planner was the perfect solution. So I headed to my local dollar store where I purchased a planner to start my journey.  You do not need to have an expensive planner to change your life. Find what works for you, even if it's just something you have created on the back of a piece of scrap paper because believe me, there is nothing wrong with that.  I cannot tell you how many times growing up I used the back of old homework pages and junk mail to write down a story idea or a to-do list thanks to my mother. On some days, I still find myself scribbling notes on scrap paper, well just because I can!  But that planner is an oh so sweet solution on its own to the chaos in my life. I was able to plan my week ahead instead of wasting my day trying to decide what my next goal or plan was for the day. I have it all in one book organized by each day, I absolutely love it. It has allowed me to take back my time and just focus on what I know I need to focus on the most.  I use it to focus on my work goals to build my income, but that doesn't mean your planner has to be the same. Plan your life the way you want to. Maybe you need to include picking up the kids, appointments, chores, errands, or whatever chaos is in your own life, do it!!! Or if you are just not where to start, that's okay too! There are so many great ways a daily planner can help empower your life. For example: A daily planner can help you discover or even create your most important goals and then allow you to break them down into baby steps.  A daily planner can help you create a yea,r of your life, so you can plan out the bigger picture of your best life!  A planner can allow you to focus on your work from home business and even show you what is making you money and what isn't. It can even show you what areas of your business need improvement and what's working!  A planner can help you check off that to-do-list you have been meaning to get done since the dawn of time or help you tackle what's for dinner every night instead of just winging it.  But most importantly, your daily planner is all about how you choose to use it. You are the only one in control of it, just like you are the one in control of your life do or die, sink or swim. The choice is yours or in other words, It's all up to. But do it now instead of later. Don't tell yourself I'm busy, maybe tomorrow. I can't afford it, why bother, I don't think it will ever happen for me.  Believe me, yes you can! You can crush those goals and create the life that you have dreamed of if you JUST DO IT.
