Hello, to all you working mama’s out there. So lets discuss a work-life balance. Something that may seem tough and impossible but we always make it possible. How do we do this, organization, lists, calendars and try to have a great memory. For me work-life balance is becoming a routine but their are always some hiccups that come creeping through. My key to work-life balance is having a calendar. You may not be someone who likes having a calendar, but I am telling you once you start it is like a weight is lifted off your brain. Since you are writing everything down it is as if your brain sets it as “done” lets go next!

LET’S ORGANIZE OUR CALENDARS TOGETHER! Every year I start the new year fresh with my brand new agenda if you are someone who likes to add it on your phone calendar you can to. I am someone who likes to look at my full week so I love having an agenda. At the start of the year the best thing to do is start month by month and add the BIG occasions whether it be birthdays, holidays. Then you start with smaller stuff like appointments, vacation. Finally you move on to your month by month, then day by day so take January for example:
color coordinating is always fun
- Add any birthdays / Anniversary’s / special occasions
- Add Holidays such as New Years
- Add Days off if you have
- Appointments with doctors
- Any other upcoming appointments that you may have
- appointments for other such as Teeth,
- Weekend activities (you can then proceed to add all the details on the given weekend.)
- Pay Days
- Bill payments and or pre-authorized payments
The Key to all this is that it helps you stay organized, relaxes your brain from having a million and one things to think about and also everyone else can look at the calendar or agenda to know what is happening during the week. such as your partner in crime 😉
What helps you with work-life balance?
