Every Mom Needs Time Managment
TIME MANAGEMENT
Don't you wish that you had as much time as you need to do every task that you have to do as well as you want to do it?
Well, it's not going to happen. You, do we have to keep saying it, are a mom. A mom not only has to do the things necessary to keep a household going and provide constant care for all family members, she often has to be the best worker in her company, the best volunteer in her organization, and the best member of her church.
If you're striving for the "best of the lot" award, you probably already have some highly honed time management skills. Heck, if you have time to read this, you probably have better time management skills than we do. But, if you're still working on your best of lot merit badge, may we first suggest that you learn the greatest time management skill of them all.
JUST SAY "NO." Also learn to say, "DO IT YOURSELF." Learn to delegate. Even a small child can pick up their toys -- usually only when you start loading them into a garbage bag after asking the kid to pick them up at least three times. If he leaves his socks and underwear on the floor instead of taking them to the laundry room, and you feel compelled to pick them up, then fold them neatly and put them back in his drawers with the clean socks and underwear.
Make the request. Follow up with consequences. Change behavior of those around you. But remember, when you have too many demands on your time to do the important things right, it's time to say "NO."
Now, for a few links that will give you different coping advice:
BuzyMom is a website that addresses the topics mothers want to know about -- childcare, how to get a better job, how to earn more and work less, how to find time to have a rich family and romantic life and a successful career, how to save enough to retire, and how to manage it all. If you worry about it, we cover it.
We're still under construction, but we have two new pages that you should check out first. If you're thinking about a career, new or old, check Buzymom's career page. If you're just looking to get away, we have timely advice on Buzymom's travel page.
