Default How do you manage your time?

as a working mom, are responsibilities are double. Not only we have responsibilities at work, we still have responsibilities at home, like cleaning the house, preparing and cooking food, taking care of the kids, like teaching them their lessons. and of course, a working mom have her own life also, like going out with friends or spending time in front of the PC, or watching TV or movies. Plus the fact that you still have to be a wife to your husband.

how do you working moms manage your time, so all things you need to do can be done?

I knew that when i get married and have kids if i started thinking of how i would manage time then things would not work out, so I just went with the flow and luckily things went well!

I did things like cooking that had priority and left other things till weekend, this left me less stressful, and gave me enough time towards my family. And to be honest my husband was a great help to me and it makes a difference of the world.

I just wanted to say, I saw my mom trying to do it and I really admire both of you for your efforts. I know it's probably not an easy thing. I think what you do is amazing-anyone who is going through it now If your kids don't seem to appreciate it now, they will when they get older and look back. I see now how hard it must have been for my mother. Wish I would have tried to be a little nicer and cut her some slack

I do everything at night. I spend a lot of time with my kids before they go to bed and don't want to take that time away from them by attending to house chores. And since I'm also going to school, I do my homework and the rest of the chores before I go to sleep. I also divide the things throughout the week by priority. This way, I don't leave anything out and get overwhelmed either.

Wow you are a supermom! I wonder how my life would turn out if I got kids. But since I don't have any yet, I don't have any problems dividing my time.

It's just a matter of prioritizing what should be done. There are things that are better left alone for a day or two and things that need immediate attention. You just have to identify which is which.

I read about a way to get everything that you need done. You make a list of everything that you need to do in a day. Start from the bottom and work your way up. Then, you kind of cram all of your activities into the rest of the day. I'm not sure if that works or not. Has anyone tried this out?
