So like I said balancing act makes rethink everything including my time management. After spending much of my time thinking about my "time", I realized that I am highly inefficient:
- I don't prepare my clothes the night before
- I didn't prepare bottles the night before
- I could not find one item per day on way to work i.e car keys, ID badge etc
- I wake up and peruse the internet for at least 15 mins
- I hit snooze three times at least
- I daydream
All these things were resulting in me doing a mad dash for the door on the way to work and then only getting more chaotic from there. So I had to take a step back and do the upset of what I was doing and it doesn't work everyday. I have read some great time management tips and decided what if I could do the opposite of what I did. So two weeks in and here is what I do
- Wake up 15 minutes earlier each week, my target time is to wake up at 5:45 a.m. to give me more time in the morning to workout and eat breakfast etc.
- Write the day care check and make labels the night before.
- Make a family calendar and use a task list.
- Reevaluate my performance each week.
Its a work in progress, but I am trying to control the balance. How do you stay organized? What are your best time management tips?
