The Struggle Is Real: Finding Work Life Balance as a Parent

Making Mommy Moves

We've been struggling with the idea of a work life balance. And we wanted to chat with you about the ways we've been trying to maximize our productivity in our businesses while also enjoying more time with our kids:

Being a parent is one of the most rewarding, yet challenging, roles you can take on in life. Not only are you responsible for raising happy and successful children, but you also have to manage a household, juggle work commitments, and maintain a social life. It can be difficult to find a balance between all of these responsibilities, but it's important to make sure that you're taking care of yourself as well as your family. One way to do this is to write everything down. Having a visual reminder of what needs to be done can help you stay organized and productive. Additionally, try to schedule some time for yourself every day, even if it's just for a few minutes. Taking some time out for yourself will help you recharge and be a better parent and entrepreneur.

Today`s Goal: Keep a running list of everything that needs to be done. This can help to prevent overwhelmed feelings, as you will always have a clear overview of what needs to be accomplished. Additionally, this can also help you to prioritize your tasks and ensure that the most important items are always completed. Taking a few minutes each day to update your list can help you to stay on track and maintain a healthy work life balance.

Episode Highlight:

02:19 - Making sure that we start our days off on the right foot, and really dedicating like the first two, three hours in the day, to getting ourselves in the right headspace.

05:51 - You need to decide that my mental and physical well being is first priority in the morning. And that sets the stage for the rest of your day. And then you pick a handful of things that you want to prioritize for the day that you want to get done.

08:49 - Seeing it happening, looking at your results, looking at what you've accomplished and how far you've come. It makes it that much more motivating to keep going to.

15:10 - I think the big takeaway from this episode to manage your work life balance is to write everything down first off because if you don't know what you have to do, it's just gonna like it's gonna keep growing, and you're gonna forget about things but it's also going to be in the back of your head.
