Embracing Simple Solutions

Simple solutions include taking out a sheet of paper and listing all of your responsibilities that need to be completed. From there, circle all of the things that must be completed today. Perhaps you can underline things that also need to be completed soon (within a week)-leaving things that need to be done past this week untouched. Use your underlined and circled items to create a new list where one side includes the items circled and on the other side the underlined items. Using that list will help you to then work toward checking off the circled items and then working towards the underlined ones. Having a clear visual is the best way to sort out complexity and overwhelm.

Organizational Hack for Busy Moms

Make sure to have an organized life. It doesn't have to be perfect but in some sort of order. For example, make sure the toys are in the kid's room. Make sure clothes are in the hampers if not clean. Organizing your home can help you to feel like you have more control of your life.
