Routine: The Key to Survival and Success

Routine: The Key to Survival and Success

If I had to pick one thing I could share that would make the biggest difference in your life, it would be routines.

As a teacher, there were no excuses for being late. I had to be on time to receive the children or the parents would then be late themselves! Not only did I have to be on time, but also I really needed to be there early to attend to a few things before the students were walking through the door. Oh, and I had to get 2 small children dressed and ready for school as well. I conquered this challenge with this beautiful thing called a routine.

Here are a few of our favorites.
