The Routine Advantage | Simple Systems to Get Organized and Build Consistency

Renae Matt

*** A TOP 25 SELF-IMPROVEMENT PODCAST IN FIVE COUNTRIES ***

Are you going to bed at night thinking about the to-do list you didn’t finish and stressing about whether or not you'll have time to do it all tomorrow? Waking up exhausted and relying on coffee to get through your day?

Are you making multiple trips to the store each week, stressing about dinner and spending too much money on groceries and take out?

I’m Renae Matt and I’ve been where you are! I work full-time, I’m growing my own business, and I want to spend quality time with my husband and family. Over the years I got so tired of the housework, the bills, and the never-ending list of things to do. I was trying to keep track of it all. It was exhausting and felt like I had no time left to ENJOY life.

Over time, I have built simple routines to get organized and get my time back. I want to share what I have learned with you so YOU can have:

>> A DAILY HOME ROUTINE to keep a tidy home without wasting Saturdays cleaning and catching up on laundry.

>> A MORNING ROUTINE to give you “me time” so you can tackle your busy days knowing exactly what to expect.

>> A MOVEMENT ROUTINE so you feel great every day!

>> AN EASY BUDGET ROUTINE to get out of debt, get rid of money stress, and save for your dreams.

>> A MEAL PLANNING ROUTINE to reduce the frustration and stop wondering what’s for dinner.

Our lives are busy, but they don't have to be overwhelming. When we can get these five foundational routines in place, you will have a system set up to help reduce the stress and give you your time back! I’m here to teach you everything I have learned about building simple routines so that they can change your life, too.

You might think this isn’t the right time because you are too busy to change something, but friend… when you feel TOO BUSY to prioritize your LIFE...that is when you know something NEEDS to change.

We can’t get lost time back and we aren’t meant to live our lives checking off boxes and drowning in errands.

So let’s TAKE BACK YOUR TIME.

Instead of spending your evenings stressed about all the tasks you didn’t get to, you will be able to spend those nights having fun with your family. Go for an evening walk, do a game night, find a hobby, or have a date night with your hubby.

When you get your life organized, you get your life back. THAT is the Routine Advantage.

xo,

Renae

75 | Feeling Behind as a Busy, Work from Home Woman? How a TIME BUDGET Can Help

Are you tired of falling behind on your work, feeling like you just can’t find the time to get it all done? You might have a super organized workflow and know exactly which tasks need to be done, but for some reason, you just feel like you are ALWAYS working…or at least thinking about work and all the tasks that still need to get done.One of the great benefits of routines is that they can help us get off that train of never-ending tasks. Routines help us get organized and focused during blocks of our day so that we can get our work done, opening up time to be able to put our work and responsibilities away when that work block is over and we can have some fun living life. So if you feel like you are always falling behind on work and can’t seem to stop thinking about those never-ending work tasks, I want to introduce you to something we are going to call a “time budget”!Grab a pen and paper and let’s help you get some free time back in your life!Renae...

74 | Creating a Declutter Plan to Get Rid of the Mess

Whether we are aware of it happening or not, as life goes on, we collect STUFF. Before we know it, our homes are brimming with miscellaneous things. Yes, some of those things are useful and important, but so much of it is just “stuff” and even causes frustration because it always feels messy. When we have too much stuff, there isn’t enough space for everything to have a home, drawers and cupboards become too full to close, and we begin to believe that we just don’t have the skills to keep a tidy home.If your house is messy, it might not have anything to do with your ability to keep a clean home. Yes, a tidy home takes intentional habits, but if our homes are overrun with “stuff”, it makes it very hard to keep up with it all! There’s that old break-up saying that goes, “It’s not you, it’s me.” Well, let’s take a version of that so we can break up with the junk and make sure you know that if it’s tough to keep a tidy home, it’s not your fault. Because…. “It’s not you, it’s your stuff.” So let’s get rid of it!Renae...

68 | 8 Simple Steps for Your Budget Routine EVERY Payday

68 | 8 Simple Steps for Your Budget Routine EVERY Payday

Money stress is a real thing and I am very familiar with how it feels! Before my husband and I created our first budget and started working towards getting out of debt, we were living paycheck to paycheck, up to our eyeballs in debt, and never seemed to have enough money for even simple things - like a few groceries. We were constantly watching our finances, praying we wouldn’t overdraft, but also not knowing how to do it any differently.One day we decided we needed to make some BIG changes and get ourselves into a better financial position and it has been quite the journey since! We began our budgeting journey in March of 2018, and just shy of two years later, we had paid off over $33,000 in debt and we were debt-free! (And we were NOT making very much money at the time either.) The biggest reason we were able to accomplish what we did was because we had our budget. Budgets are an amazing resource to help you take control of where you want to spend your money. They allow more freedom in your finances and they help wash that money stress away.Now that we have been budgeting religiously for 6 years, we have learned a few methods of what works best for us. Today I’m sharing with you the eight simple steps we take every payday to stay on track so we never have to worry about what is happening with our money and we can rest easy knowing our budget has us covered.I hope you are excited for this!Renae...

63 | Feeling Too Busy to Exercise? 5 Steps to Make Time for a Movement Routine You Enjoy

When schedules are full, it’s easy to push ‘exercise’ off the long list of to-dos when it doesn’t feel like there is enough time in the day.The problem with this is that when we leave it out, we don’t get the amazing health benefits to help fuel our day with the energy we need. And when we don’t get that energy, we get more tired, sluggish, and more stressed and we aren’t able to keep up with our responsibilities as well as we could if we had more energy. That’s a cycle we don’t want to get caught in!So today we are going to look at five steps you can take right now to help carve out time for a movement routine you not only can make time for, but one you will actually enjoy!Let's get to it!Renae...
