Just one or two days of dragging behind the daily grind, can create a week's worth of catching up on everything from bills to laundry.
Prepping and planning routines for my family is a major life saver for us. I prepare meals, clothes, and activities. If I don’t simplify the number of things I need to accomplish, I usually become very overwhelmed and fail to get through the tasks at hand.
The mornings are the toughest for me, especially now that my oldest is needing to catch the bus. I like to do a late-night sweep around the house for everyone’s necessities and pick out school clothes she needs for the following day. That way, I’m not thrown off schedule, digging in the laundry for that must-have shirt my daughter refuses to leave the hose without.
Mindful Minute:
- Do you experience obstacles and delays in your routine on a regular basis?
- Does this occur due to organization or something else?
- What are some ways you can plan ahead to save time?
- How can you prepare your family better for busy days?
- If parent-child interactions cause delays, how might planning help with behavioral issues (mom’s or child’s)?
