Beyond overwhelmed & Chaos Control

Ok so for the last three months we have had 3 babies one and younger. That isn't the problem. That just magnified the problem. The problem is really my own and it can be summed up in one word. LACK.


Lack of time management
Lack of consistency
Lack of follow through
Lack of a routine or schedule
Lack of direction
Lack of sleep
Lack of commitment to priorities

I have always struggled with these things but we had all just gotten used to the problem and learned to deal. Then when we got extra kids that require so much use of time and resources, it became very evident that we are in dire need of an overhaul.

I didn't know what to do. We worked for a full month on sheer survival mode. And for the next 2 months we were in a place where we were surviving but would welcome the thought of being "just overwhelmed".

I have being feeling so defeated and feeling like I am drowning in the to-do-s and the not-yet-done-s and the no-time-for-that-s and a major abyss of chaos that every time I try to buckle down attack those things I just wind up crying and pulling more of my hair out.

So that is just a little background of where I am coming from, now let me tell you where I am headed.

God showed me a way out of this abyss of chaos. It starts with one step at a time.
I will be posting these steps one at a time as I get to them.

I am optimistic and hopeful.
One of the major changes is that this multi-step process allows me to not worry or fret about the things I can't control or accomplish right now. Those things will be addressed in a different step. For now, I just need to focus on mastering one step at a time.
