You’re knee-deep in your to do list.
You have absolutely no time to breathe.
You’re struggling to keep up every day with all the things you have on your plate.
You’re tired. Worn out. Stressed. But you know you have to keep going.
You can’t stop. There’s no time to stop. To reflect. To do anything, but everything that’s on your never-ending list.
When you are the MOST busiest, the thing you need to do the most is stop.
While that sounds counter-intuitive, it’s really not and here’s why…
When you stop rushing around like a chicken with its head cut off, you will realize that not all those things you THINK you have to get done, REALLY need to get done.
When you’re able to step back, even for a moment, you see things a lot more clearly.
Fires you thought were emergencies, aren’t really fires. Maybe some are truly emergencies, but most of them aren’t.
You must LIVE in the place of freedom. You must LIVE in the place that is stepping back, so you can learn to SAY NO.
Because EVERYTHING is CONTINUALLY biding for our time, but not many of those things are actually things you need to concern yourself with.
When you begin to get your priorities down straight, you’ll find that you have more time and can, GASP, even yes, get ahead of the game.
This is where I live.
I USED to work 80-120 hours a week. I was a crazy workaholic with a dream. I don’t regret that time of working hard and I’m not saying I don’t work hard now.
What I AM saying is that I’ve learned to step back, cross things off my list daily that don’t need to be there, organize, and prioritize all tasks. I’ve learned to say, “NO!” I’ve learned to stand up for myself. I’ve learned to ask for help when I need it. I’ve learned, most of all, how to manage my time better.
In doing so, I now accomplish more in one month than I did previously all year long! I’m flying and it feels good. Life is controlled, steady, and just plain a lot easier.
But I still struggle with really TAKING (forcing) the time to REFLECT.
Over the next few months, I want to start taking more time to reflect because I think it’s so valuable to us as moms and also to our businesses.
This month, I’m bringing to you the first binder to reflect upon, gratitude prompts binder.

• Other printables are either functional OR cute. I bridge the gap between the two. Since I'm a single mom and don't have time to mess around and am a kid at heart, I love something that actually propels me forward and gets the job done quickly, while still having that super cute vibe I'm known for.
• I'm a graphic designer FIRST. This means my printables, whether free or paid for, will always be of the highest quality and print crisp and clear on any printer.
• I love what I do and I do the work myself. I'm not hiring these out. This is my life, my hobby, my passion, my heart.
• My fans are obsessed with my work. To date, I've made over $23M on printables alone (organically) in the past 8 years.
Yes! Except for some large binders, all printables on the blog are 100% free for personal use. I make these because I genuinely want you to have something cute and helpful right now without having to spend a dime. You deserve a life that feels more peaceful, more organized, and more you, and if a simple printable can make your day feel lighter, I am so happy to give that to you.
Absolutely! You're welcome to print as many copies as you need for your own students or church groups. I only ask that you do not edit them in any way (leaving the full copyright line in tact) or sell them or host the digital files on other websites. Please always link back to this post to share with others.
For best results, I recommend printing on 8.5"x11" white paper. These are professionally designed as high-resolution PDFs so they will stay crisp and clear, making them perfect for any printer.
