So the poet Rumi says,
As you start to walk on the way the way appears.
This is the sign to just take that first step. If you are waiting for that perfect moment it doesnt exist. Listen i get it, i’m a mom, i like to know what will come next, i have plan A,B,C and D and then i have contingency plans for those plans. But i have learned that life doesnt work that way. Rarely do you have or see the full plan of your life; of a dream or a business. The path is always going to be about discovery, not the final destination.
Lets normalize not having or knowing all of the answers in the beginning because if we did, there would be no point in the journey.
You will hear all things mom because that’s where i am at right now
. I go to sleep late with mom guilty in most days, with unfinished to do list, and so much more unaccomplished chores, but lets be realistic, mom to do list is never accomplished , even our plans failed in most days but anyway we always have a plan.
So i wanted to change and start working on something that would work for me and my family, it was something i knew i could do for a while but it was hard to start until i started. 3 heavy tasks of the day rule. And today i want to share this rule with you today.
Pick 3 heavy task in your list everyday and make sure its done before going to all of the other tasks of the day. This rule helps me concentrate on the important tasks, even in the middle of meltdowns from my kids, quick run to the store, and many other interaction that may occur during the day which may hinder you from finishing your to do list. By the way remembering in my head that i have 3 tasks make me think i have few things to do so it helps psychologically, not thinking i have so much to do
.
Just to remind you, nothing works for everyone, but what i am sure of is to start doing what works for you and you will find a way.
Please share with us in the comment, what are other ways that we can try to start winning our days as busy moms?
