Hi Melanie,

Thanks for commenting on our blog a few days ago and leaving a link to this article.

I really like how you outlined your day. Time is the most valuable asset we have so understanding how you spend each of these precious moments is wise.

Well done Melanie,

See you again soon.

Great idea! I will start writing my schedule and find how to improve it. I’m always complaining because 24 hours aren’t enough!!

I love those perfectly balanced days where you get so much done and you don’t have any guilt at the end of the day! Around here, those days are very rare, but when it happens, I’m on cloud 9. This post is a reminder for me that it can be done. Thank you!

Melanie, I’m sooooo glad you have a perfect balanced day! you totally deserved. Today I got up earlier than usual, as I went to be earlier than usual and that made all the difference to me, I’m not a morning person but I can see myself doing this more often. Abrazos!

So happy I read this! It’s awesome, Mel Qué bueno and you’re totally right, flexibility is the key, but there’s nothing like feeling accomplished!

This is the perfect day, when you are able to do so many things, and you end up feeling tired but happy. Love your post.

Fantastic and exhausting all at the same time! My little ones aren’t so little anymore but I definitely remember those days.

I think one of the keys to your schedule going well was that time you took in the morning to exercise. I can’t totally explain why, but when I exercise in the morning, my day usually goes much more smoothly, I’m happier, more focused, more productive and don’t slump over the computer distracted by every little thing that comes my way so that after hours of “working” online, I have nothing to show for it. If I exercise in the morning I’m also more likely to choose healthier things to eat throughout the day and that also makes a big difference for me in mood, etc.

Thanks for showing us your day so we can better think about planning our own. I hate schedules but I’m the first to admit that when I put myself on one, it’s always worth it. You may have inspired me to get back on track
