So without being able to magically make the sun stop for awhile to add an extra hour to your day, how do you do it?
Most moms think to get more time they need to…
- Implement a new routine,
- Use a scheduling app,
- Set timers, or
- Be uber organized in order to manage their time.
Maybe you’ve tried something too, and like them, struggle to keep up with it and then it becomes one more thing added to the list of failed tasks, am I right?
Or it might be working out ok, but most days still feel like a struggle.
The problem is that implementing these time-management strategies without changing the structure of your time is like putting a band-aid on a broken bone.
Most time management strategies utilize a linear structure for time.
And while time has a linear component, have you ever noticed the cycles and seasons of life?
Maybe you’ve noticed how some days it may feel like you’re rocking that to-do list like nobody’s business and then the next week it feels like the world’s falling apart and you’re failing at everything?
(Yup, other moms feel that exact way too.)
And I’m guessing you relate to those days when the alarm goes off and it’s no biggie getting out of bed, and others it feels like ya can’t hit snooze enough.
Using these cycles as the base structure of how you manage time will allow you to optimize your energy level and effectively prioritize your time.
