Intentions for the Week

Looking to get your head in the game? Tracy from Shutterbean makes a weekly TO DO LIST called her Intentions for the Week. Here's what this week looks like:

Happy Monday! This is our first full week of school. We’re back in the mix! My house is in disarray after the weekend. A few obligations took away some of my cleaning time, so I have some extra work to do.  It was worth it, though!  Some weekends are busier than others and it seems like that’s how our whole September will be. Before we say goodbye to August, we’ve got a holiday weekend ahead of us. If you need some food ideas for your weekend plans, I put together a Labor Day Weekend Food Idea list to inspire you.

Let’s see what’s up for the week!

Intentions for the Week

  • make a list of lunches for lunch post/map it out
  • LAUNDRY
  • yoga + dance class
  • grocery shop
  • prep for photoshoot for One Potato
  • clean out fridge
  • clean the bathrooms
  • library visit
  • book a chiropractor appointment
  • make it so I have two eyebrows and not one…
  • give myself a pedicure
  • work on Currently post for August
  • figure out if I will do the Whole30 in September
  • map out/plan Cooper’s birthday party
  • make banana bread with leftover overripe bananas
  • make kombucha
  • try to make good food choices this week
  • work on editorial calendar
  • catch up on letter writing
  • catch up on emails
  • catch up on podcasts while I do house cleaning
  • transfer photos to external hard drive
  • DRINK WATER (this helps greatly!)
  • make some time to keep my creativity going
  • spread the word about The Handwriting Club on Instagram!

Last Week’s Intentions:

    I grew up and liked ‘Cheaper by the Dozen’ but I LOVED ‘Bells on Their Toes’.

    I love that you share these. It’s been so inspiring to write down ‘Intentions’ instead of a ‘to-do’ list. I’ve been doing this every week and it’s made me feel so much more productive!

    – Elliptical x2
    – Write birthday letters to both my girls
    – Distasis Recti Exercises x5
    – Mop Kitchen floor
    – Keep up with laundry
    – No wasting food this week! Eat all the vegetables
    – Decide what to do with outgrown baby gear and clothes

    I’m going to do whole 30 after Labor Day. I did it in January to reset after the holidays- it’s been a fun summer of eating & drinking so reset will be nice 🙂

    First of all, thank you for doing this each week! It helps inspire me to make my lists and get things done!
    This week, I want to finish my summer book “Brain on Fire”, get to yoga x1, run x2, make a batch of booch, farmer’s market on Sunday, use up my garden zucchini, finish Ozark on Netflix, and start a recipe journal for myself.

    Have good week!

    I’m on the final days of my 3rd Whole30! For us, it’s a great reset to get back to planning healthy meals and stop lazily picking up fast food or carry-out. It’s especially tough when I still have to bake for my blog (and I still read all the delicious recipes on other blogs!) but I definitely think it helps kick-start a healthier routine. Happy to share some of my favorite Whole30 recipes if you decide to do it (or even if you don’t)!

    Love the intentions list, and that some of the things off last week’s list didn’t get finished. My lists are always long with all the the things I intend to do, but I almost never get through all of them. So nice to see this, it bolsters me up and tells me that that level of over ambition is okay.

      growth comes from being OK that it doesn’t all get done. That’s why they’re intentions 🙂
