Time Management
Tips for Busy Moms
Keep
a master notebook for organization. This can either be a paper notebook
or on the PC - whatever works for you. I keep mine on the PC so
I can never lose it, but I print it out for day to day use. Once
a week I update my master lists on the PC. During the week I write
on my paper print out the things I need to do and then update it
on the PC on Sunday night. Each Sunday evening I write in appointments,
meetings, sports practices, plus things I need to do or buy for
the coming week, and then make a new print out to use during the
week.
Keep
your notebook organized by files or categories. This will be different
for each person depending on their personal projects. Some sample
categories might be:
Set
up a system for the things you need to do regularly. These can include
things like:
- Buying birthday
cards and gifts
- Getting the
gutters cleaned out
- Cleaning
the furnace filter
- Charging
your cell phone
- Checking
your children's grades online, if their teachers use an online
grading system. Most of our kids' teachers use mygradebook.com,
and it is great to make sure their grades on track.
On
your master list keep a task list for daily, weekly, monthly and
annual tasks. Then each day be sure to check your list to fit in
your scheduled tasks.
