How I Organize My Life

It's not about getting more done in a day.

This morning, I woke up, made coffee, did my skincare, and got cozy on my living room floor with my journal. I put in my AirPods and journaled about the day before, which always removes the cobwebs from my brain. I took three deep breaths and spent a few minutes in prayer. Then I scanned my calendar and wrote down my top 3 priorities to get done that day. It all took less than 30 minutes, and by the time my kids got up, I felt calm and focused for the day ahead.

I used to think that the point of being organized was so I could cram more into my schedule. If there was an empty block on my calendar, I'd fit in one more task or activity in the name of productivity. But the older I get, the more I realize: organization isn’t about squeezing in more—it’s about creating space for what matters. Space to breathe, to recharge, and to truly enjoy the life I've built.

In today's post, I'm pulling back the curtain on how I organize my life, both practically and holistically, so I can stay balanced, productive, and most importantly—present.
