 Today I had one of those 'DUH! why didn't I think of that earlier!?' moments.

I do ok at planning WHEN I do it at my normal time in bed, right before I go to sleep. If I miss that window it's rare that I'll pick up my notebook and make my plan... I get stuck in the 'I'll do it later' cycle. (it's a pattern with a few of my goals that I'm working on and one of the downsides of working from home)

So, while in figure it out mode I took a look at another habit that I have struggled for YEARS to adapt. Taking my daily vitamins. After reading Atomic Habits I decided to TOTALLY revamp how I do vitamins. I already had a years long habit of waking up in the morning and drinking what we jokingly call my 'coffee'. It's a mixture of creatine, a small dose of caffein, some electrolytes, collagen MCT oil.. etc. I never miss it - I even have a system for taking it with me when we are on vacation. So I did some research and found a multi vitamin that came in a powder form and added it to my 'coffee'. Success (I've since added calcium, probiotics, fish oil, vit C, and several others to my daily drink all with continued success).

So, this AM when I woke up without a plan I thought 'how can I make sure my plan happens today?' and I realized.. I make it part of my coffee!! there is NO REASON i can't just jot down my plan while I'm stirring up my powders. And so... it happened that way and it is DONE!

So now I'm going to 'make it easy' print off some blank planning sheets and put them in my 'coffee' basket with a pen.
