11 Time Management Strategies to Help Overcome Distance In The Relationships

Image
The number one reason many of my clients book sessions with me is because of frustration with the mishaps of the scheduling in the trucking field and miscommunication. I  tell all my clients that if they want to grow and overcome distance within their long distance married life they must make sure they are communicating as effectively as possible. That means practice not taking things for granted and not placing blame. I am the first one to admit the time management in trucking sucks ass. Time management only applies to getting loads to their destination on time. When it comes to family and personal life well you better learn how to plan ahead and get ready for a call that’s sounds like this.  “I’m sorry hun I’m not going to make it home today or on time  whatever the case may be…I’ll make it up to you, I promise!” My motto is schedule everything but expect nothing. The reality is that when more than just you is a part of the planning process (freight, shippers, receivers,

A Successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person. - Mignon McLaughlin During my quiet moments I often think back to the days when my children were young. Life was busy and depressing for me then. I worked part time as a professional organizer, I did marriage counseling in the evening three times per week, and I was in school completing a bachelor degree in Health Service Administration and I hated my life as a trucker wife. Most mornings I cried as I made breakfast for my girls. But I did what I had to do as a wife and mom. So I managed our home, completed my degree, and did part time work just to have a outlet and change of scenery. I did this daily in spite of the fact that every moment was spent in misery.  To tell you the truth I  didn’t know if I was coming or going. I remember feeling like dying would be better than this life. Because trucking is not a job or career it’s a lifestyle. Its your life 24/7 and it will be there every

 I love my business more than anything. I was twenty-three years old when I did my first organization project, I was scared yet proud from actually accomplishing something. You know the feeling you get when you start something and actually finish it to completion. Plus the feeling you get from clients when they are so happy when their problem is solved- well their is no feeling to explain this but it feels really good to help someone else succeed in life.  Being a professional organizer and lifestyle management consultant allows me to do everything I enjoy: I am able to center my family around my career, I am able to meet and talk with really interesting people on a daily basis;  I get to be creative; and I have the opportunity to help people feel better about themselves. I am truly blessed to do what make my heart sing.  My days are so fulfilling and fun that I never feel like I am at work. During my lifestyle management sessions many of my client have become like family to

Most of you know that I’m a BIG Law of Attraction Fan. I’ve been working on controlling my emotions for years. This is the secret of the Law of Attraction. Everyone always advise you to be grateful. By practicing gratitude in reality you are stabilizing your emotions so they don’t conflict with what you desire and what you think you can have.  Being a Professional Organizer I have a obsession for journals. I just love journals and will totally admit to having a stationery fetish, but did you realize that keeping a regular journal will hugely increase your manifesting power? It’s a powerful law of attraction tool and a secret daily ritual of Warrior Chic's throughout the ages that will literally rearrange the Universe according to your desires. All that is need is for you to purchase a couple of cute journal. One will be used in the morning and the other will be used before bedtime. Every morning begin each day writing your intention in the form of six goals for

Professional Organizer Tips: THINGS TO DECLUTTER FROM YOUR LIFE RIGHT NOW

Can a good declutter change your life? When you get rid of everything in your life that’s not working for you, you’re free to completely shift your life from the inside out. I’ve been a Professional Organizer since 2008. Thought out all of those years I recently did my first Hoarders project and came home and cleaned out all mu shit. I thought I was pretty organized but that really put in perceptive of how much stuff we actually consume but don’t really need.  I can see how it can just snowball from a bit of mess into a full on clutter situation! But the decluttering I’m talking about today doesn’t involve cleaning up your house (although I think that’s really important), the art of decluttering from a Warrior Chic perspective is to change your life through physical, emotional and mental decluttering. This is especially important if you want to make big shifts over the next 12 months. Although you can’t change who you fundamentally are , you can change your habits an

Well this information is what I learned in a course I took on healthy relationships. I use this truth to help my clients shift to a new way of thinking and I hope it will be helpful for you and your marriage.  The Simple Truth Relationships can be hard enough as it is. Trying to cope with a long distance marriage seems hopeless at times.  After all, you have two or more people who come together to interact and each has a series of unique life experiences and expectations based upon their upbringing, education, or culture. Each of us has different perspectives, wants and needs, and no two peo
