With spring break right around the corner for most of us, I thought Tidy Thursday should address this pivotal {read: awesome} time on the calendar.
Spring Break :: Questions
Moms are asked
do you look forward to or dread Spring Break?
Kids are asked
what are you doing for spring break?
Caretakers are asked
do you have extended hours for spring break?
But what are Volunteers asked?
does this mean you'll have more time on your hands?
{{collective chuckle from the masses inserted here}}
Spring Break :: Projects
- Moms dream of decluttered bedrooms
- Kids dream of sleeping in
- Caretakers dream of a lighter load
- Volunteers dream of all expense paid vacations
Spring Break :: Time Management
But the truth is, if you want to get the most out of your spring break it's best to consider some time management skills.
Getting everyone on board is truly the first step.
- Pull out a calendar
- Fill in everyone's comittments
- Look for pockets of free time
- Discuss wish lists {Moms declutter projects, time with friends for the kiddos, cleaning up volunteer records or prepping for new projects}
- Get real with what can and can't be accomplished
- Schedule the free time {this protects it from looking available}
- Now go have fun {or declutter or relax or ...}
Most importantly, find what works best for you. No one likes to look back on a chunk of time and feel as though it has passed without intention ~ even if that intention is to "fall off the radar" for 5 days.
Head on over to the VolunteerSpot Facebook Page & let me know ...
what are your big plans for spring break?
Keepin it Tidy,
April
