*** A TOP 25 SELF-IMPROVEMENT PODCAST IN FIVE COUNTRIES ***

Are you going to bed at night thinking about the to-do list you didn’t finish and stressing about whether or not you'll have time to do it all tomorrow? Waking up exhausted and relying on coffee to get through your day?


Are you making multiple trips to the store each week, stressing about dinner and spending too much money on groceries and take out?


I’m Renae Matt and I’ve been where you are! I work full-time, I’m growing my own business, and I want to spend quality time with my husband and family. Over the years I got so tired of the housework, the bills, and the never-ending list of things to do. I was trying to keep track of it all.  It was exhausting and felt like I had no time left to ENJOY  life.


Over time, I have built simple routines to get organized and get my time back. I want to share what I have learned with you so YOU can have:


>> A DAILY HOME ROUTINE to keep a tidy home without wasting Saturdays cleaning and catching up on laundry.

>> A MORNING ROUTINE to give you “me time” so you can tackle your busy days knowing exactly what to expect.

>> A MOVEMENT ROUTINE so you feel great every day!

>> AN EASY BUDGET ROUTINE to get out of debt, get rid of money stress, and save for your dreams.

>> A MEAL PLANNING ROUTINE to reduce the frustration and stop wondering what’s for dinner.


Our lives are busy, but they don't have to be overwhelming.  When we can get these five foundational routines in place, you will have a system set up to help reduce the stress and give you your time back! I’m here to teach you everything I have learned about building simple routines so that they can change your life, too.


You might think this isn’t the right time because you are too busy to change something, but friend… when you feel TOO BUSY to prioritize your LIFE...that is when you know something NEEDS to change.


We can’t get lost time back and we aren’t meant to live our lives checking off boxes and drowning in errands.


So let’s TAKE BACK YOUR TIME.


Instead of spending your evenings stressed about all the tasks you didn’t get to, you will be able to spend those nights having fun with your family. Go for an evening walk, do a game night, find a hobby, or have a date night with your hubby.


When you get your life organized, you get your life back. THAT is the Routine Advantage.

xo,

Renae

Do you find yourself procrastinating? Pushing tasks off until they start piling up and causing more stress and overwhelm later? Maybe you keep pushing it off or making excuses because you are “too busy” or “don’t have time” or maybe you feel like you just need to work on it some more because it’s not how you’d like it. There are times for refinement, of course, but if you are anything like me, perfectionism is also just another form of procrastination. There is hope though! :) Today we a...

Money stress is a real thing and I am very familiar with how it feels! Before my husband and I created our first budget and started working towards getting out of debt, we were living paycheck to paycheck, up to our eyeballs in debt, and never seemed to have enough money for even simple things - like a few groceries.

When schedules are full, it’s easy to push ‘exercise’ off the long list of to-dos when it doesn’t feel like there is enough time in the day.The problem with this is that when we leave it out, we don’t get the amazing health benefits to help fuel our day with the energy we need. And when we don’t get that energy, we get more tired, sluggish, and more stressed and we aren’t able to keep up with our responsibilities as well as we could if we had more energy. That’s a cycle we don’t want to ...
