If you're a working mom, you know that the lists never seem to end. There's the grocery list, the to-do list, the list of errands to run, the list of things to pack for your kid's school lunch... It can be overwhelming! And on top of all of that, you're expected to be productive at work and be a present, involved parent when you're at home. So how do you find the time to get everything done?
By getting organized and developing a good time management system, that's how! Here are some tips to get you started:
List Making
One of the best ways to get organized is to make lists. Lists help you keep track of what needs to be done and ensure that nothing gets forgotten. Whenever you think of something that needs to be done, add it to your list. You can keep a running list on your phone or in a notebook so that you can add to it whenever something comes up.
Time Blocking
Time blocking is a time management technique where you block off chunks of time on your calendar for specific tasks. For example, you might block off an hour in the morning for answering emails and another hour in the afternoon for returning phone calls. By breaking your day down into smaller chunks, you can make sure that you're using your time efficiently and getting things done.
Scheduling
Scheduling is another great way to stay organized and make sure that you're getting everything done. When you have a lot on your plate, it can be helpful to sit down and schedule out your week. That way, you'll know exactly what needs to be done when and can plan accordingly. If possible, try to schedule some buffer time into your week so that if something comes up or takes longer than expected, you're not thrown off course.
There's no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to time management. What works for one person might not work for another. The important thing is to find what works for you and stick with it. By making lists, blocking off time on your calendar, and scheduling out your week, you can take control of your time and start crossing items off of your ever-growing list!
