Monday Mask Night (Part 2)

The only thing better than masks on Mondays is the organization that comes with it. My life is a hot mess, don't get me wrong. Emphasis partly on hot, but mostly on mess. That's why I love Monday Mask Night. Before I cover my face in nutrient-filled cream, I grab out my trusty planning essentials and get my life somewhat in order. If you wish your life to be as clear as your skin, read on for my trusty tips on how to stay on top of your week.

How to Organize Your Life: The Ginger Way

Needed Materials: Everything pictured below. Don't worry, I'll break it down for you because what's the fun in only taking one picture? 

1. Pens. Colored ones, to be specific. What good organizer ever survived without colored pens? No one, that's who. 

 

2. Regular pen, because colored pens will get you far, but I've found they pretty much suck for anything longer than 5 words.

3. Journal. Yours, not mine. I mean, you could have mine, but you'd find it incredibly boring and it only has 4 pages left so it'd be pretty worthless. Anywho  this is where your pen comes in handy. Writing is easier when you have a utensil to do it. I've found that journaling -- about anything from your daily activities to your thoughts on the hot boy next door -- is both therapeutic and fabulous for TBT mems. 

4. Goals book. This one isn't actually necessary unless you're an over-planner like yours truly, but it adds to the fun. Ignore the kitchy title; my mom bought it for me and therefore I shall love it. Every week, I write down my goals. They can be big or small, mundane or exotic. Writing your goals on paper makes you accountable and if you add a box next to each one, you're going to have way too much time checking each goal to miss one. My goals usually include things such as "make bed every morning" and "put pants on before noon every day". I know my life is harder than most, but you can make easier goals and work up to my level. 

5. Planner. This is more necessary than the journal and the goals book. You'll need both the regular pen and colored pens for this. I'll go into how I plan with my planner later, because that's a post of its own. For now, just haphazardly write words in the spaces and hopefully it'll turn out alright. 

Now throw on your best stay-at-home-mom outfit. You're halfway there already. Get your organizational necessities and start writing. And remember, after this, you get to put on your face mask 🎉

My personal OOTN (Outfit of the Night..get it?) is Lucy leggings, a Pink (the brand, not the color) waffle tee, and a sports bra for extra comfort. It doubled as my yoga outfit, because Nike Training Club's dynamic yoga was my WOTD (workout of the day...ha). 

PS notice that I worked out today? Meaning I'm still on my work out plan. Shameless plug, whoops. 

Happy Organizing!
