Routines are critical for a productive life. Chosen well, they make good choices automatic.
That’s why we are big fans of routines here at Best of Both Worlds. And so we were delighted to welcome routine-crafting expert Ashley Brown (a former Best Laid Plans guest!) to the podcast for this week’s episode.
Ashley talks about her career journey from nursing through being a stay-at-home mom, to nurse education, to business owner. Her company, Routine & Things, is launching a new planner in October, which you can learn more about at her site.
In the meantime, I’m happy to report that my family has more or less gotten into a morning and evening routine. The kids get where they are going. They get in bed long enough before wake-up time to make the proper amount of sleep possible. Both routines are, alas, long. But they exist, so there’s that.
If you’ve got routines that are saving your life right now be sure to let us know about them! Now I just need to figure out a better exercise routine…

I’m still looking for my fall routine! The kids have had so many days off in September (including Monday, in honour of the Queen’s funeral – I live in Canada) and our extracurricular commitments are much higher than any other year. For the most part life is going well, but I’m definitely NOT settled into a predictable rhythm yet.
Thanks for sharing that you had allergies to earrings too! I just spent the last year trying to figure it out and testing showed that I am allergic to Au, Cr and Co. So, I can highly suggest to those who can not use common alloys like titanium or steel posts to try either plastic hooks or niobium. Both have worked for me.
