Never forget to plan.
I get asked all the time, how can I manage to get everything on my list done? And the answer is:
Plan, plan and more plan. 👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶With a new baby, planning is a bit harder Because his schedule is pretty unpredictable. So what I do is try to get as much done when he is sleeping and my daughter is at school, so I don’t have to sacrifice spending quality time with them. ✏️✏️✏️✏️✏️✏️✏️✏️✏️✏️✏️✏️✏️Right now as I am writing this post, I am rocking my baby to sleep on my lap and as soon as his sleep is deep I will put him in his swing and go about cleaning the house and preparing dinner. This way in the afternoon when my daughter is home, I can spend time with her working on upper grade math and reading and playing.
Frankly I don’t work outside of the house, so I am lucky not to have that on my plate. But if I have to work on my blog or social media, I will do it usually early in the morning or later at night.
I think it is right to mention, that I have no help besides my husband, if he is not traveling, to care for my kids and everything else that needs to be done.
So bottom line we can do it, if it is important to us and we take the time to plan our day.
You are probably wondering what I mean by creating a filter, let me explain.
🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Anytime you start a new thing or a new chapter in your life, people around you can’t help it but to give you advice. They probably have the best intention.
If you are going to listen to all these advices, you are going to drive yourself crazy 😝 😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝
So what should one do? Create a smart filter. A filter that would immediately block those advices that make no sense or are based on little or no scientific data. As my mom would say “ hear with one ear and let go by the other ear 👂”. This filter would also let in all the good advices that can be backed up and have been proven in for you, so you can use them in your life.
So do you agree, that we all need to create our own smart filters?
It is simple to creat one, increase your knowledge.
