Most mothers have a dual life; they manage a full time job and also manage their house and children. This can be overwhelming at times but a few pointers can help these busy mothers to ease their burdens and be stress free. 1. Menu Planning - By setting aside time each week to prepare menus, grocery lists and pre-make some items, you can take the stress out of mealtime. 2. Advance meal preparation: With technology on your side, you can make two to three meals simultaneously. One can be served, while the others are frozen for later. Cook double portions of the meals and when you need it; you will have a meal ready. 3. Get your neighbors involved: Take turns in cooking the evening meals with other friends and neighbors. Although this involves cooking for more people this has the advantage that you may be cooking only for one night a week - and its fun. 4. Errands - Direct some energy to doing errands on the way to or from work. Or if someone in your family or a neighbor is already out, ask them to do your pickup for you and you can return the favor for them. 5. Car Pool - Taking turns getting kids to and from school or sharing a ride with other working moms can be fun and time-saving as well. 6. Get the family involved! In order to be successful at managing your time you will need to enlist the help of everyone in your household. Draft your children’s help in keeping their own rooms cleaned for rewards of some type. 7. Perform a housecleaning task per day; by breaking it up into manageable segments, it won’t be as stressful if you miss a day. Breaking necessary tasks into smaller, more manageable ones makes it easier to accomplish more in less time. 8. Be Realistic - There is no such thing as supermom or perfect mom. Learn to say ‘no’ or you will never find a way to manage your time. About the Author:
