Today’s challenge is to help ensure that you are setting yourself up for Be Intentional Success.  We shared our daily schedule earlier today with events that really messed it up.  But it brings us right into the planned challenge for #20, so the timing is actually pretty good!

So…. Be Intentional Challenge #20 :

Re-evaluate Daily Schedule and Make Realistic and Necessary Changes

It has been over 2-weeks now since we had the challenge of writing out our daily schedules. We often find that the first time around isn’t necessarily the home run! Now that you have given your schedule a 2-week run, it is time to make adjustments and changes so that it will be realistic and truly fit into your lifestyle!

Take a few minutes and re-evaluate, re-d0, update, etc. and get some fresh new copies with modifications that are ready to go! Be sure to read the previous challenge HERE about Writing Out the Daily Schedule for tips and suggestions too!

The last 10 days here on our challenges are going to be some exciting ones, so stay tuned, get your schedule finalized and in order and get ready……..

One final thing….. we also have a Facebook Group where you can engage in discussions, receive encouragement and talk to others that are participating in the challenges too for more ideas! Head to the Be Intentional with The Thrifty Couple Facebook Page HERE and ask to join us there! You can also invite friends and spouses too!
