Because my life is so full and busy, I take time to make a detailed plan for each day with an effective schedule. I am thankful that I have the ability to plan well. My efforts in planning make my daily life go more smoothly.

Each day, I have many tasks to complete in order to take proper care of my family and home. My work requires I make numerous phone calls to resolve projects related to my career. Also, I try to make contact with friends occasionally. Plus, I endeavor to carve out personal time for myself.

So my days are chock full of many things to do.

I juggle all of these activities and tasks by planning ahead. Even though I sometimes experience days that may seem overwhelming, I am comforted by the fact that I put forth my best efforts at planning.

Occasionally, I allow down time between scheduled events to give me a bit of time to breathe. I realize that planning effectively is the key to living an efficient, well-lived life.

Today, I intend to review my schedule for next week to ensure that enough time is built into my plans to complete each activity without undue stress and allow some down-time for socializing.

Self-Reflection Questions:

1. How well do I do at planning out my daily life?
2. When do I feel the most overwhelmed with all the things I must do in a day?
3. In what ways can I strengthen my planning skills?
