 Happy Wednesday WIW family! I was EXTREMELY excited about this fall season but had to realize quickly that it might not be exactly how I imagined it L
My posts have been on tips and practices to take with you in your everyday life. What I want to talk about today is something that I think we all need to practice and it applies to everyone! Maybe you can help someone else too. Think of life as a race. There is a start and a finish line. Along this race of life, there are hurdles you have to jump, there are trips and falls, there are people that may drop the baton, when you simply put trust in them to grab it for you and carry on. You can practice all the running you want but your race is unpredictable, it will not go the way you planned 99% of the time. With this being said, prepare yourself on your journey, practice, be smart and ready for anything that may happen. Other people seem to have easier races than you do right? They may get ahead of you just a tad but, you don’t know if they had a hiccup before they got to where you are of way ahead of you. No one has a perfect race, and they’re not easy. Remember, when you get down or frustrated that you are your only competitor and if you take too much time looking behind you or too far ahead in someone else’s lane, you will easily get off your own track and lose momentum. Keep up the speed! Jessica McArthur Jl.mcarthur93@gmail.com

The fall season is around the corner, and you want to have some choices to choose from when layering your outfits. These tips work for every other season as well but now that we are leaving summer, it’s a good chance to hit up those sales and rack up on spring/summer clothes for next year while finding what you need for the rest of this year. Trust me, you’ll end up with more clothes than you already had! Hey! If there is anything you want me to touch on or talk about in the future. Send me an email and let me know! I’ll see what I can whip up for ya! Jessica McArthur - Jl.mcarthur93@gmail.com  Find yourself procrastinating with every task? I surely do! I could have a month to complete it and still end up rushing at the last minute. I tend to make excuses for continuing to procrastinate because I tend to produce my best work under pressure and with limited time. A little stress is healthy but doing this too much isn’t always successful. Here are some tips that work for me to help prevent procrastination.
Jessica McArthur Jl.mcarthur93@gmail.com  Need to save time in the morning? Here are some tips to add a few more minutes of sleep, and keep down on rushing in the morning. This will prevent you from being exhausted before you begin your daily grind.
1.Get your clothes out the night before Finding an outfit takes a lot of time. You want to check the weather, make sure what you’re looking to wear is clean and if it is, it needs to be ironed. I like to say that I am a pretty organized person but I have to get my outfit out the night before. I get my ironing out of the way, along with the accessories, and I will check to make sure it looks right together. This task can take up to more than 10 minutes and why do all of this in the morning when you can easily do it the night before? Now you added 10+ minutes of sleep, right? 2.Put your belongings by the door Keeping your books, purse or belongings by your front door or a place that you have to walk by on your way out can stop you from thinking if you have everything for the day and forgetting things. It’s a hassle in the morning and it’s hard to remember everything you need for the day if you just woke up 30 minutes ago and if you have a family that needs you to help think for them. For example, for those who have children, children have homework and may have extracurricular activities. Asking them if they completed their assignments and have practice clothes that morning will be a headache because what they might think is done right isn’t and then you would have to start from square one with limited time. 3.Get your family on a program I don’t have my own nuclear family but what my mother used to do with my sister and I, is put us on a program which means, everyday doesn’t play out like you want it to at all but our practices, events and programs were on a calendar and when my mother’s schedule conflicted with ours, she had someone to take us and pick us up. With all the uncertainties that come with a busy day, we were never overwhelmed. We knew around what time and what we would be eating every night. These tips can be a little extreme but do what works for you and your family. Simply getting most of your work done the night before or at the beginning of the week will save you time in the morning to snooze a bit more, grab a bite to eat and to easily get to your destination without so much hassle. You already have a long day of work, don’t work yourself into a frenzy because you ran out of time. Make your life easier and more efficient. Jessica McArthur Jl.mcarthur93@gmail.com |
