Time Management Strategies for a Busy Lifestyle

As someone with general anxiety, the worst feeling for me is being unprepared. It’s a sure way to send my stress through the roof. Over time, I’ve found that the best way to calm my anxiety is by facing my fears head-on and breaking them down into manageable steps. Planning and organizing everything I can has been a lifesaver.

In fact, I’ve created several documents and simple systems that help me stay on top of life’s chaos. Whether it’s throwing a party, hosting a garage sale, or meal prepping for the week, having a plan makes all the difference.

Here are a few strategies and tools I’ve developed:

Party & Event Planning

Back in high school, I learned a lot from Public Speaking class about organizing events. Since then, I’ve fine-tuned my approach to planning parties or gatherings. I break everything down into clear steps—like creating a guest list, planning food and drinks, and setting up a timeline for tasks. It’s all about avoiding last-minute scrambling.

A Simple Garage Sale Model

I created an easy and effective pricing system for garage sales that takes the guesswork out of it:

Small items = $1

Large items = $5

Not only does this model make shopping easier for customers, but it also prevents sneaky tactics like switching price stickers. Plus, with today’s rising costs, being "cheaper than Dollar Tree" makes it a hit!

Meal Prepping Made Easy

Finding time to cook or shop during a busy week can be overwhelming, but meal prepping has been a game-changer for me. I created a simple meal prep document to streamline the process:

Plan meals for the week – Stick to a few versatile ingredients that can be used in multiple dishes.

Order groceries online for pickup – Saves so much time compared to wandering the aisles.

Prep in advance – Chop veggies, cook proteins, and portion meals into containers.

Having meals ready to go reduces stress, saves time, and makes it so much easier to stick to healthy eating habits.
