Time Management is a Thrifty Choice

I have a very close friend (no names, you know who you are ) that consistently over does it. She volunteers at her oldest child’s school once a week, for holidays she does goody bags for the students at both of her children’s schools, she goes on field trips, takes her son to soccer, takes her daughter to activities at the community center, volunteers for children’s church, . . . I could go on and on.

All these things are great and I’m thrilled that she is an involved mom, but as you can imagine, she is also consistently stressed and worn out. I find myself on my soap box, preaching to her about cutting things out of her schedule and prioritizing. I read this article today, Seven Musts for the Worn Out Mom, and I found myself contemplating my priorities too.

Moms really do too much. I have found myself pretty stressed out lately, wondering how in the world I will handle one more thing, but then I accept the “one more thing”. Couldn’t we just kick ourselves sometimes?

I hope you’ll take about two minutes today to read the article Seven Musts for Worn Out Moms. Remember to prioritize your life so that you can make the most of it.

KISS – “Keep It Simple, Stupid”

I miss my days of being bored. I love my kids, but I can’t even begin to imagine what it’s like to have nothing to do. Sometimes we all become so consumed with too much to do. We continue to obligate ourselves to more responsibilities. I hope that you will take two minutes to read Robyn’s blog. It was a great reminder for me today that we need to be thrifty with our time and not just our money.
