May 2012 Organised!

May – the month of May Day, Bank Holidays, Half Term, and (fingers crossed!) the weather really starts to warm up.

This month is a great time to start getting outside – the garden will need looking after now in preparation for the summer, and all those outside jobs will be so much easier to do once its a little warmer!

I love May – my daughter was born at the end of the month and I am very grateful and aware that the warm days mean lots of walks and being able to be outside loads, but also of how nice being at home is when the sun is shining – it makes everything seems more manageable somehow and I always seem to get loads done which is a bonus!

Make this month really count for you…..

Here is a print out diary which I use – works well as theres space for reminders, TO DOs and a diary with times in so you can see at a glance where you have free time (if any!)

Also there is a handy checklist to get you in the habits of setting monthly goals, creating new habits, and basically being your backup for a more organised start to the month (I suggest printing it out and working through at the end of the previous month so that you are ready to go).

MAY 2012

Make the most of the bank holiday this month – theres only one for a change (our second May Bank holiday has this year been moved to June with an extra one added for the Queens Jubilee!What about looking at a BBQ for the end of the month? Get people invited, dust off the garden furniture – and really mark the start of summer (we can but hope! we are due a good one this year for a change….)Organise a babysitter for a few nights out over the coming weeks – now the nights are lighter and getting warmer its lovely to be able to wander into town and have a drink or meal – you will feel refreshed!

Although getting outside is fantastic – when the suns shining it makes everyone more enthusiastic about getting things done – I find that getting rooms decorated works well now so that they are ready for the summer – and you can open the windows to let paint fumes out etc…. – the brighter days means that changes you make will really make an impact which is an added bonus!Don’t let days out either not get planned in, or get ruined by bad weather (it is changeable!) – car picnics can be just as fun! think outside the box and don’t let things out of your control ruin having funIf you have children, they will no doubt have half term off at the end of the month – start looking at places to go that everyone will enjoy. If you work are there places that will look after your children for some of the week? Our gym does great days where they get to take part in loads of sports and crafts – and my daughters ballet class does a special week long course – you only have to look to find loads of interesting ideas that will make the week something special!If you are one of those people who can’t get motivated to exercise in the winter months, now is a great time to get outside walking – think of your swimsuit for motivation!Ensure all plans are made and finalised for summer holidays – and start to make a list for whats needed. Getting a little each week from now until you go will make things so much easier.
