To Do List, Really?

I love reading on the blogosphere. I really do. And for some reason I am very much drawn to mom blogs. I think it's cute and sweet, and there are a lot of really good ideas about home and organization and shizz like that.

What I do not see is ideas for people like myself who have to work all damn day long, then come home at night to the same amount of home responsibilities.

This is the whole reason I am exploring a minimalist lifestyle. Because although this super-cute daily planner {from an awesome blogger that I love, looks presh and all:


My daily routine goes like so:

  • Wake up before the rooster crows or sun peeks above the clouds
  • Stumble into bathroom to take shower and brush teeth
  • Hurry to smear on make-up and put clothes on
  • Fix a cup of coffee - chug it - then fix another to drink on the way to work
  • Arrive at office. Work 10 hours. Ponder the whole day how in the hell I can get stuff done at home for my family before bedtime
  • Fight hellacious rush hour traffic for an hour
  • Get home around 7pm
  • THEN start on the above to-do-list minus breakfast and making bed
I'm really at a point where I MUST find a way to streamline my days. Taking out unnecessary plans are vital to staying balanced. That's part of my journey here. Perhaps I can find the secret and be able to share. That would be wonderful, for all us working moms/family peeps.
