Well my morning routine went very well, even though I slept later than I wanted to. I was able to enjoy it since Macrae chose to relax in bed before starting his day, knowing that the holiday break from his schoolwork ends today.
Now on to preparing an evening routine! In the book, Tsh recommends "before you climb into bed, do five simple things that will help you tomorrow." So here's my list.
Evening Routine:
1. Do the dishes and clean counter
2. Set table for breakfast
3. Set up schoolwork
4. Set out clothing for next day
5. Write plan for next day
I begin with the most active, and end with sitting and writing which will help calm and prepare me for sleep. I might even have a cup of herbal tea or a glass of merlot while I write, then add one more thing to the list just to prolong the evening....knitting or reading....ahhh.
I see exactly where this is leading. A well thought out evening routine will have us waking to a day that is already prepared, and give me the peace of mind to enjoy my morning routine without guilt. Nice!
