I shared some thoughts on household management over at Families with Purpose a few days ago on “Family Life Blog“. The is certainly one of the most common areas that I get approached with for tips, tricks and routines – hopefully this post will be helpful as you set up new systems for 2011!
One of the biggest areas that moms struggle with is managing our homes. Overwhelmed with responsibilities it can seem like you never get caught up, no one ever will help out and you get to the end of the day feeling like you managed to accomplish nothing!
It is hard to try new routines or systems to get yourself out of the rut – but if you don’t, NOTHING will ever change.
When overwhelmed moms come to me, they generally are at their wits end! They have tried many different approaches to managing their homes and families and are desperate. We work from the ground up; putting routines and systems in place that lessen the load and start freeing up time during their frantic and overloaded schedules.
It is amazing that as soon as minor changes are made in the home a mom begins to feel relief. Instead of the stress and chaos they were feeling everyday, they begin to experience order, freedom and control.
If home management is a struggle for you, I would like to share with you a few key principles I discuss with moms who come to me for coaching. I am sure these points will be helpful in coming up with some new ideas to tweak what is going on to make things run smoother for you too! READ MORE HERE
