Managing Time 24/7 With Simple Living

Keeping life more simple helps tremendously.

Just as you keep a daily planner for activities during the day, also keep a monthly planner to help manage your time effectively. When you have kids that play sports, have dance lessons, church activities etc , these things take up a lot of time.

With five kids you can imagine how tough a time we'd have if we didn't record all the activities on a large calendar! We have several involved in some sort of activity at all times, it seems.

As moms, managing our time effectively takes a lot of patience and the skill to be able to successfully juggle our responsibilities and committments.

Simple living helps.

Try to plan sensibly around the kids activities, keeping the times as close together as possible so you won't be running up the road at all hours! It's not always feasible or easy to do this, of course, so sometimes you just have to work with what you've got and make the most of it.

During the times when nothing is scheduled, pencil in duties for house and yard work, grocery shopping, normal household duties. Schedule in time to rest and unwind too. This is important to not feel as if you are working and running every second.

Even if your unwind time is just one evening a week, keep that appointment and allow some R & R to rejuvenate you for the next week.

By doing this you will be able to work more efficiently at your home business, and will be there for your family when they need you. Simple living is a healthy way to make the most of our time to be able to perform in all our many roles, wife, mother, business owner and most importantly as healthy individuals.
