Are you looking for a 25th hour of the day? Keep searching if you want but, it just isn't there! Believe me, I've looked too! :) Moms by trade are the
CHANGE YOUR MINDSET.
This is probably the biggest obstacle to overcome-myself, included. If you have already decided that you don't have enough time in the day to get it all done, you've defeated yourself before you've even begun. Don't set yourself up for failure. Decide that each day is a blank slate and schedule out what you want to accomplish!
GET UP EARLY
When I suggest getting up early people sometimes freak out. In all the case studies I've read of successful people or people who "make it happen" they each have the same characteristic: they get up early. Usually at 5AM.
I know. I'm sorry!
I've done all the acronyms: SAH, WOH, WFH (stay at home, work out of the home, work from home) and I can absolutely-without-a-doubt credit getting up early as the key to a successful day. When I'm up in a quiet house, I feel peaceful. I love watching the sun rise while I sip my coffee, doing my workout without an audience, or going for an early morning walk or run.
SHOP ON A SCHEDULE
Designate one or two days per week as your grocery shopping day and let your children know about it. Make a shopping list during the week and stick to it when you get to the store. The fewer extraneous items you purchase the more money you save.:) NEVER shop when you're hungry, either. Otherwise that extra bag of potato chips may find it's way into your cart after all!
PLAN A WEEK'S WORTH OF MEALS
Get out your recipe books on Sunday & make a meal plan for the week. Add needed items to your shopping list. Make a few meals ahead of time and freeze them for the busiest evenings. (when you have Baseball games, Dance, Swimming lessons etc!)
DO YOUR LAUNDRY
Try washing a load of laundry DAILY, don't let it pile up. Yes I know you all know what I'm talking about, the mountain of laundry that ends up on the couch for days! One load at a time is MUCH easier to fold and put away than a whole mountain!:)
