The past few weeks have been a blur. I've been working a lot more hours which makes my days feel go-go-go. I've found prioritizing and writing out what I want to get done for the week all the more important. If you've read my past Weekly To-Do List posts (you can find them here & here), you'll know I try to keep the list to a minimum. I'll include the top tasks I want to get done or things that I often push off. If I add too many items, it can be overwhelming and I find I'm less productive. I also keep work out-- it helps me keep a little bit of work/life balance and there's enough of that to make an entire list of it's own!
On top of my work schedule, I've been making an effort to work on improving my overall health + wellness. I don't know about you, but it's easy to push off the "me" things that don't always seem like a necessity. I'm trying to prioritize + make time to do a few more of those which you'll see on this week's list. PS-- how do you like my little iPhone screenshot above? I thought I'd switch up my normal to-do list graphic today 😜
MY WEEKLY TO-DO LIST
- WEEKLY BASICS - Every time I write out a to-do list, I realize there are always a few of the same tasks that I try to accomplish each week. These include laundry, changing my sheets, working on my budget + creating blog posts. It's easy for me to push these off so I always include them.
- INFRARED LIGHT THERAPY - A few weeks ago, I started doing infrared light therapy. The way this works is you lay down on a massage table under infrared lights which help to target pain, inflammation, reduce stress + more. I carry a lot of stress/tension in my neck + shoulder blades so I've been doing sessions for these areas at a local spa. I'm also *hopefully* reducing any inflammation in my body. I've scheduled three sessions for this week!
- PAY QUARTERLY TAXES - If you have to pay taxes quarterly, the June 15th deadline is this week. This shouldn't take me too long but is something time sensitive that I need to complete by Tuesday.
- EYEBROW THREADING - Hoping to go do this sometime this week. Years ago, I use to go get my brows waxed. At some point I just stopped going and honestly, I never minded too much. Now I've decided I need to start shaping them up more. Funny how we go in phases, isn't it? Waxing can be harsh on the skin and is pretty much out of the question now! I may or may not have eleven lines from those waxes way back when... lol. Threading is suppose to be a great alternative, is super affordable + much better for the skin.
- BUY A FATHER'S DAY GIFT - If you need a PSA, Father's Day is this coming Sunday. I still need to find a gift + card for my dad.
- SNACKS + GROCERIES - Because I'm not a weekly grocery shopper, I have to pencil this one in. I tend to eat out a lot so when I do eat at home, it's usually quick + easy meals. With working more, I've been eating at home even less which has pretty much thrown me off the healthy train. I want to get back into that which is easier to do if I have things to make at home. I also need more snacks!
