Collector Care 4.5 Tips Working Moms - Tips That Save Time

Hello busy Moms! Working and being a Mom is tough, whether you work as a stay at home Mom or out in the  world. Early mornings, tiring days and exhausting evenings are all part of the game.

As a single busy working Mom I thought I would write down my favorite tips on how I stay productive and on task. By following these simple tips, you can simplify your life quite a bit. Remember to take time for yourselves Ladies, and making it is half the battle. You are so busy caring for everyone else, that you may have forgotten to take care of yourself.

1. Delegate. If you have a parent, friend or neighbor that is willing to help you out. Go with it. Take as much help as you can. If you can afford a nanny or a babysitter, please use one. This will allow you to have some much needed time to yourself.
2. Keep It Simple. If you are strapped for time, plan simple easy to clean activities for your kids to do to keep them busy. Find something they can do on their own, so that you can get some of your work done. If you have a fussy eater, try and keep it simple and find a recipe that works. Freeze food after making it, so that you have quick and healthy meals on hand.
3. Follow a schedule / routine. This is for both you and your kids. Creating a schedule keeps a consistent pattern of the day ahead. You will be able to function more efficiently if you have a time jotted down for each task and event. I suggest keeping a large hang up family calendar to keep track of all events. Make sure you update it regularly. These are new habits, and you need to practice them everyday so that you are successful in your efforts.
4. Prepare ahead of time. Prepare meals, snacks and school lunches ahead of time. Make sure homework is done immediately after coming home, so there is no morning rush. Schedule nail appointments, hair appointments, exercise and other activities ahead of time, and plan to have a sitter.
5. Believe in yourself. Always, always believe in
