What works for one mom might not work for you. It’s important to realize that we all live different lives with different priorities, and that means we all need our own schedule that works for our needs. We all want to be there for our families, have a tidy home, and get work done.
Over-scheduling your day will mean that you’re increasing the odds of not finishing what you want to do and ending up with feelings of frustration and sadness. We want to avoid those feelings and be forgiving with the time we need for certain tasks and how much time we have in the day.
Time blocking is such a great tool for busy moms. If you time block, then you can create a schedule that prioritizes your tasks and the time you’re going to assign for that specific task. The key to time blocking is that you stay on track.
Each day work on your to-do list based on priority. Take the things that you have to do today and prioritize them. As you start crossing these things off your list, you’re going to feel great, and that will motivate you to keep going through your to-do list. Use a daily list to help you get the most out of each day.
Use a Morning and Evening Routine
Having a good morning and evening routine that works for you is such a game-changer. Creating a routine that works well for you and leaves you feeling accomplished but not overworked or stressed is key. Create a routine that works for you, and this goes for your cleaning routine too.
Scheduling your day is so important. When you can stop and schedule your day, you can see that everything you need to get done can get done. Schedule it based on priority, assign tasks a time limit, and you’ll be ready to take on the day. You can schedule your day the evening before or in the morning.
