Taking care of your health often involves many layers. Those layers can become even more complex when you add health conditions, disabilities, or unexplained symptoms. It takes a lot of work and awareness to keep track of all that may be happening in your body (something we Mighties know all too well! 🙋🏻).

Based on what you have on your plate right now, what aspect of your health could use a little more attention or care? How are you thinking about prioritizing that area of your health?

Happy Monday, Mighties!

This week we’re talking about a topic that people often find uncomfortable: budgeting.

From maintaining our homes, to managing our health, to even paying for the things we enjoy like TV subscriptions or traveling, budgeting is something we all have to think about more often than not. Making important financial decisions is one of the many unavoidable responsibilities that come with #adulting.

Do you find budgeting easy or is it challenging for you?

One step or action can go a long way — especially when it comes to organization. Rescheduling plans, sorting your mail, or breaking down those boxes for recycling can make a big difference on your organization to-do list.

What’s one thing you can do today that will help you feel more organized?

📦 P.S. You got this. Every small action in the right direction is a WIN!

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks has a complicated relationship with procrastination. One of her biggest challenges involves her relationship with sleep and free time — and knowing when to allow herself to rest instead of convincing herself she’s just “being lazy” or using procrastination as an excuse. She doesn’t have to be “on the go” all the time, but she would like to get her tasks done, take care of herself, and still get enough sleep every night.

What are your thoughts? What’s your relationship with procrastination? When do you tend to procrastinate?

Who doesn’t love a good-sized bin, shelf, or cabinet that brings your room together; a perfectly sized calendar that fits all your appointments just right; or even a desk with all the necessary drawers you need to organize your items?

A good purchase can be a lifesaver.

What’s the best item you’ve ever purchased that helped you better organize or declutter your home? Why is it so great?

We all have multifaceted lives with a zillion parts that require our attention. But the thing is, we can’t always keep every part organized and that’s OK!

What part of your life do you feel is the most organized right now? What part is the least? (No judgment here!)

Happy Monday, Mighties!

For this week’s challenge we’ll be focusing on organization. From the personal items in our homes, to our health needs and schedules, to even staying in touch and spending time with family and friends, there are multiple aspects of our lives that may require organization and balance.

When it comes to organizing, where do you fall? Does it come easy as if it’s second nature to you? Or is it more challenging, like a chore?

What does it even mean to be at your “best?” When you live with health conditions (which many of us do), finding balance or a baseline of functionality can look different from day to day and moment to moment. When symptoms are unpredictable or fluctuate, it can be difficult to put a clear definition on what “best” means—especially when how you and your body feel sets the tone for what the day looks like.

One day you might be experiencing a flare, dealing with a symptom trigger, or feeling low in mood, and that can shape what “productivity” and your goals look like. On another day, you may have more energy and feel a boost in motivation.

What factors help you determine what your “best” will look like that day? How do you check in with yourself to decide how to shape your to-do—or not-to-do—list based on your health? How do you find balance and gauge your capacity?
