Organizing Update and More Thoughts about Discipline



This week the organizing job was the office area.  I’ve got two days left, and I just started Thursday.  I told my husband who is aware of my organizing that I will probably do the office for next week since I’ve gotten a late start.  He said to me that it’s not too late for this week to finish the office area.  That encouraged me, so I’m going to give it more energy Friday and Saturday.
I’ve been thinking about those three disciplines that I posted in last entry.  I am aware that three weeks is a good amount of time to have a discipline until it is pretty sure built in.  It’s just kind of on average that three weeks that has been known as a good length of time to build new habits.  Three weeks from yesterday our second baby is due.  This is a very exciting time in our lives, and I am so excited to have another child.  There will be changes and adjustments needed to be made, and I just feel that the three disciplines are imminently important for me to develop.
The three habits are less time on facebook, getting to bed early, and if necessary starting dinner early.  Things might not happen as I plan… the baby may come earlier or later than the due date, but I think very much so that it is so vital these habits.  I’m going to be busier with two children and all the more important to be dedicated to my family.

  1. True! I think I'm busy just with one child, but I'm sure two would make you much busier, and thus, the routines and disciplines even more important! I want to

    1. Oops - I want to work on perfecting some routines and disciplines in my life now, while I have as much time as I do!

    2. That's good, Tylersgirl, I hear ya. Good to make decisions for discipline while there is time and space for good choices lest things get out of hand. Thanks for the encouragement.
