Do the hardest thing first
Stop procrastinating and do the hardest thing first! Once this is done and out of the way, everything else will be easy!
Time your activities
This will help you to understand how much time you are really spending on each task and see where you are spending a lot of time.
Outsource where you can!
Just because you can do everything it doesn’t mean you have to! Outsource your tasks. This includes asking your children and other family members for help. Delegate household chores to your children or get them involved!
Put down that phone and set it to silent
Put the digital distractions to sleep and focus on what’s in front of you. This will help you accomplish more in your day and get some time back.
Use online shopping and Click and Collect where possible
Not only is a great way to plan your shopping and watch the budget, it’s a great way to minimise the time spent wandering the aisles.
Carpool your kids if you can
Talk to other parents who live close and have kids in the same sports team or school. Could you share pick up and drop offs?
Know those quick things that if you don’t do will cause you the most stress
Is it unstacking the dishwasher, triaging your in box or making your bed? Some tasks are quick and can help set the tone for the day – so do them!
Use your diary (digital or paper)
Schedule in some time to work on your career or time for networking and stick to it!
