On Adulting

You'd think that a couple who owns their own car, has a 1 yr old, and lives debt free (knocking on wood this will continue) would have this whole adult thing down.
But no.
We pretend. And sometimes, we're really good at pretending. Like little kids playing dress-up.
But the sad fact of the matter is that we still act more like immature college kids than anything.
We mostly eat junk. Our house is mostly a wreck. We like to sleep too much. We don't exercise. We waste too much time on screens.
Like normal people, we go through bouts of productivity, but after a few days, we lose motivation and fall back into the "easy." 
Except junk food and a messy house and too much sleep and laziness and endless Netflix is enough to drive anyone crazy, not to mention young kinda-still-newly-weds with a toddler and college classes and an anxiety disorder.
So we sat down and talked about it yesterday, and we're determined to change. And posting it on my blog means we HAVE to change, right? (haha, yay internet accountability)
Some ways we're going to change:
1. Establish and stick to a productive morning routine.

• Wake up every morning when the alarm goes off. No snoozing. Cuddling is allowed, but falling back to sleep is not.
• Get up. Tucker eats breakfast and takes his turn in the bathroom while Karli does yoga.
• Family scripture study and prayer following the Seminary Student Manual.
• Tucker leaves for class or work. Or Karli eats breakfast and leaves for work.
• Flexibility depending on when teeny girl wakes up.

2. Stick to the chore chart.

• I don't know how many times I've made a chore chart. And then it gets forgotten a couple weeks later. See how good we are at adulting? Ha.
• Separate chores into daily, weekly, and monthly chores.
• Dishes, laundry, living room, bedroom, baby's room, bathroom, kitchen.
• DO. THEM.
• I guess this one doesn't get much more complicated.

3. Establish and stick to an evening routine.

• Dinner, which shall be planned ahead and prepared for. Meal plans. Shopping lists. The whole shebang.
• Tidy up the kitchen.
• Baby's bed routine.
• Tidy each side of our room.
• Hang out. Read. Journal. Craft. Do homework. Watch a movie. Whatever.
• Bed time.

Three main areas of improvement. We're hoping that organizing these 3 areas will keep us on top of things and relieve the chaos that seems to descend the moment we turn our backs. We'll divide up tasks based on who's home. This fall, with Tucker teaching 4 classes and taking 15 credits, I'll be home a lot more than I have been, which means a lot of the cleaning will fall to me. But I think with yoga first thing in the morning and a structure to each day, I'll feel a little more in control of my world and be able to manage my anxiety a little better.

We've just got to do the best we can and be strict in maintaining our schedules.

Any advice?
