9 Things Most People Put Off For Later – And Why You Should Do Them Now!

We live ever increasingly busy lives, and after a long day of work, there are lots of things we want to do with our weekends and evenings than be productive.  

The benefits you can gain from doing just one or two of the things you have been putting off can be excellent. Here are some of the common things people put off and why you should do them now.  

Go Traveling 

Traveling can expand your horizons and give you valuable life experience. You should save money for traveling and finally go on your dream holiday. Traveling with your children can provide them with experience and improve their education.  

Deep Clean Your Home 

You should go room by room, dusting every surface, hoovering all parts of the carpet and wiping down walls. You should wash curtains, steam clean your carpets and vacuum your sofa and mattress. Deep cleaning will improve air quality by eliminating dust mites and boost your mood. 

Exercise More 

You should exercise regularly to live a long and healthy life. You should start with easy exercises like walking and gentle yoga and expand your skills as you go. You should set a goal to achieve, such as running five miles or lifting a certain weight.  

Make Retirement Plans 

Ask yourself when you want to retire, where you want to live and how much money you will need. You should consult a financial advisor who will advise you of how much you need to save and invest.  

Plan Your Estate 

You should have a plan for your assets when you pass away. If you want to make things easier for your children after your passing, you should get in touch with an estate planning lawyer. A quality lawyer like Kimberly Butler Rainen will make estate planning easy for you and those you love.  

Create A Budget 

You should set a goal to save to work out how much you need to put aside each month. You should consider your expenses such as home maintenance, rent or mortgage and living costs. Keeping track of your expenditures will prevent unnecessary spending.  

Take A Social Media Detox 

If you want to de-stress, you should take time away from social media. You should start by putting your phone away for an hour and gradually increase your time without tech. When away from social media, you could go outdoors, read a book or spend quality time with friends and family.  

Continue Your Education 

To keep your mind active and sharp, you should keep learning new things. You could learn a new language or try cooking new cuisines. You might ask your employer if they have any courses you could take to improve your future prospects.  

Declutter Your Living Space 

You should remove or donate the items in your home you no longer use. You could go from room to room and throw out anything you haven’t used in six months.  YOLO!

Don’t you just love it when the kitchen is clean Don’t you just love it when the kitchen is clean?

It only lasts about 2 hours in this house so I gotta snap a pic before it gets messed up again! 🤪🤣

If you haven’t upgraded your kitchen (and your life) with @caraway_home cookware then you’re missing out on the best non stick non toxic cookware on the market. 

Get rid of your Teflon 🙅🏼‍♀️

Ditch the chemicals 🤢

Throw out the ugly 😵

Don’t wait any longer to elevate your cooking with the most talked about, most loved cookware the world has ever seen. 

This cookware set has sold out 10+ times (the limited-edition color for Crate & Barrel
sold out in under 5 hours!) and the bakeware has barely been in stock since its launch! (So glad I got mine December!)

Head to my stories for the link to grab a discount on these sensational pans! 💃🏼

🚨STOP what you’re doing and read this! 👇🏻

You know how they say “Earth Day Is Every Day”? Well, that’s because you shouldn’t only think about swapping out your toxic cleaning supplies and pledging to use reusable bags only on Earth Day. That’s just one day a year and if we really want to be more eco-conscious, we need to make small changes every day towards caring for ourselves and the earth.

One small step you can take is investing in eco-friendly fashion. But where do you start?

A @jeltbelt! Not only are Jelt Belts designed sustainably, with comfortable, premium elastic that is made from recycled plastic bottles, they are also flat and don’t show under clothes! Best of all, they are completely metal-free and hypoallergenic. 

Finally a belt that fits great and doesn't pinch, dig, or slide up! I love it! Definitely a wardrobe staple.

Read more about this belt in today's post on the blog! Link in bio.

I recently added the @DeltaChildren PerfectSize 3- I recently added the @DeltaChildren PerfectSize 3-in-1 Convertible Sink to my downstairs bathroom to make unassisted handwashing more accessible for my two youngest kids (ages 2 and almost 5). 

Our downstairs half bath is TINY but because of the compact size of the convertible sink, we managed to slide the sink in right next to our @NubyUSA potty. And yes, the bathroom door still closes! 

We have a faucet extender and step stool at the regular sink, but this has made handwashing a novelty for the boys since it's right at their level and right next to their potty. It's the perfect height for both my 2-year-old son AND my autistic son who is almost 5 years old (pictured). ♾️

It holds enough water in the upper tank for both children to wash and rinse their hands once each and the holding tank in the back for the gray water is easy to empty into the sink or toilet when they are done. If they just want to play with the water and their hands aren't actually dirty, I just pour the "gray water" back into the upper holding tank and let them play with it again to conserve water. (An important lesson and learning opportunity for Earth Week) 💦

In addition to being a great addition to a Montessori bathroom setup, you can also convert the Delta Children sink into a step stool and then use the upper part as a bath toy because it's shaped conveniently to sit on the side of the tub. 

Will link to the sink and potty in my stories! 🚽🚰

“Unless there is a Good Friday in your life, the “Unless there is a Good Friday in your life, there can be no Easter Sunday.”
- Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen

“He himself bore our sins in his body on the cross, so that, free from sins, we might live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed.” - 1 Peter‬ ‭2:24‬ 

Let us not forget the significance of Good Friday. For on this day, Jesus was thinking about YOU!

We are already dreaming about going back to @story We are already dreaming about going back to @storylandnh! 🥳🤩

Last year we took our @wonderfoldwagon and it was a total game changer with five kids! (Especially our autistic son!) It made trucking all of our children around the theme park 100 times easier. 

I’m so glad I got the four seater wagon despite some people saying it would be too big. It has room for absolutely everything we need to take with us including a cooler full of food for our family of seven. 

I can’t wait to see all of the fun adventures we will have this summer with our Wonderful Wagon.

In these uncertain times we live in, it sometimes In these uncertain times we live in, it sometimes seems silly to decorate or worry about how things “look” but you have to remember that changing the world starts at home. Being a homemaker is an important and often overlooked job. Home is the starting point for love, life, and dreams. So go ahead and make your home look good! 

There’s no place like home. 🏠❤️

It’s always quite the effort to take a family picture, but even harder when you need to use a tripod! 🤣 This is the best we could do! 🤷🏼‍♀️🤪

“Unless there is a Good Friday in your life, the “Unless there is a Good Friday in your life, there can be no Easter Sunday.”
- Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen

“He himself bore our sins in his body on the cross, so that, free from sins, we might live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed.” - 1 Peter‬ ‭2:24‬ 

Let us not forget the significance of Good Friday. For on this day, Jesus was thinking about YOU!

We are already dreaming about going back to @story We are already dreaming about going back to @storylandnh! 🥳🤩

Last year we took our @wonderfoldwagon and it was a total game changer with five kids! (Especially our autistic son!) It made trucking all of our children around the theme park 100 times easier. 

I’m so glad I got the four seater wagon despite some people saying it would be too big. It has room for absolutely everything we need to take with us including a cooler full of food for our family of seven. 

I can’t wait to see all of the fun adventures we will have this summer with our Wonderful Wagon. 

Use The link in our profile to purchase your Wonderfold Wagon and use discount code BALLARD to save! 💰
