๐ UK Life Got Me Setting Alarms Like It's a Full-Time Job ๐ซ๐ซ
Since moving to the UK, Iโve literally had to plan my life to the last detail! Nothing is spontaneous anymoreโif I donโt plan it, it most likely wonโt happen ๐ฉ
So now, every night before bed, I sit and write a To-Do List for the next day. Itโs been a game changer! Waking up and knowing exactly what needs to be done gives me some sanity in the chaos.
Truth is, back in Nigeria, I barely used the alarm on my phone. Life just flowed. But here? I use alarms for everything โ school runs, appointments, even laundry reminders. Itโs like Iโve turned into my own personal PA!
Itโs not easy, especially when help is limited, but one thing Iโve learnt is that determination really makes all the difference.
Hereโs my to-do list for today โ some items already crossed off, others waiting for their turn. Iโm hoping to finish everything!
To my fellow mums and parents out here:
Do you write down your tasks or just wing it?
Do alarms help you stay on track too?
Letโs share and encourage one another โ because this parenting + adulting thing is not beans! Sometimes I see this adulting thing as a big SC@m ๐ฉ๐ซ
