Habit. Raise your hand if that word makes you shudder. Over and over, we hear that good habits lead to happier lives. But honestly? Thinking about developing good habits can feel boring at best, or at worst, like one more thing on your to-do list. But you can harness habits you already have into simple routines that can free up your mind and your schedule. This week, Emily shows three ways to incorporate routines that’ll give you a bit more space for what matters most to you. From finding ways to make doing the dishes enjoyable, to outsourcing your least favorite chores to your kids (this is a judgement-free zone, friends), Emily shows that routines and habits don’t have to be hard. With a little effort and a lot of grace, making simple choices ahead of time can offer you the freedom and breathing room you’ve been looking for.   * * * NEW SIMPLIFIED PLANNERS & PRODUCTS ARE HERE! emilyley.com * * * ORDER EMILY’S NEW BOOK!
