Monthly Challenges Help with a Daily Routine

Hello, Butterflies

Have you ever struggled with wanting to have a daily routine? or Having a daily routine and just could not stick to it?

Just to let you in on a secret, your not the only one with this problem. There are many people that have this problem. I am one of them, but no longer.

I would set down and write a list of how I want my morning routine, I know this would not happen every day the same way, but most of my days would go this way.

I was so wrong! I would not fallow the list. Until I started doing monthly planner challenges!

Yes, that is what did it for me. 

Each morning I would get up and jump into my planner to my Monthly Challenge, just to see what the day's doodle was. Will I was waking up I would think of how I want to draw the daily doodle. Get dress and then set back at my desk to draw the doodle, then go through my planner to see what I need to do for that day.

After doing this for a month I started getting up at the same time each day, Was ready for work early so that I could set down and draw. I found that I had started a routine of this each day. I was also finding I was having more time in the morning then I had before. 

I had added to my goals that I want to get better at hand lettering but was having trouble fitting in time to practices.

So the next month was coming and I need to set up my Travelers Notebook for the new month. So I added in my normal Monthly, Weekly, Daily and now my Monthly Challenge for doodling. Then it hit me there is hand lettering Challenge too. So I added a lettering Challenge to my morning routine, in the first couple of weeks I felt like I was in a rush to get my doodle and lettering Challenge done before work. 

I just need to realize that I had the time, I had rushed around for so many years before because I was always late getting up. With getting up a little earlier to do the daily doodle I had extra time to do the lettering challenge too. 

I found that I was able to add other small things in that I could to do also in the morning. Until I had that Morning Routine that I had wrote down months ago.

So, just add little things to your routine that make you happy or feel good. You will find that it's much easier to get a hold on that routine list and check it off like it was nothing.

I hope my routine story help you get a hold of your list and squash it with no problems
