Helping a busy mom of 5 to create a daily schedule that works
Helping a busy mom of 5 to create a daily schedule that works
Tamika, a busy 30-something mom, has 5 children, the youngest was a month old and the oldest was 10. They were good kids but dinner was getting on the table late every night, homework wasn’t finished until late, and Tamika intended to pick-up and clean after the kids went to bed but she was exhausted and rarely got much done. Every so often, she would devote a whole weekend to trying to get caught up but never quite could. During our Zoom meetings, we went through all the rooms on her first floor where most of the living took place. We de-cluttered each room and talked about process changes that would make it easier to keep the home clean and tidy. We helped Tamika understand how changing the time the kids went to bed as well as a slightly more structured schedule for homework, laundry, and tidying/cleaning gave her a cleaner home, left her less exhausted, and gave her time to read to the kids every night before they went to bed. Tamika was happy to be less tired and get more done while the kids were happy to get bedtime stories every night.
