Are you living your life from day to day, apparently
Without help from your family, stuck in a thankless job?
A recent television commercial depicting
Does “invisible mom” seem to fit your situation?
Do you feel that you have lost control of your life?
That you no longer have time for yourself?
You are in the same boat as millions of women.
In the old days, people who lived in big houses had
a household staff and even a household manager
to manage them. These days, whether you’re a professional mom
or a housewife, you are home
manager Y personal besides whatever
other duties you may have. How do you do time
for taking care of yourself and your family? How I can
Improves quality of life?
You need to regain control of your life.
Marla Cilley, aka FlyLady, runs flylady.net,
a popular destination for women around the world
you want to regain control. She defends the
concept of a control diary, which
basically a place to track all the important aspects
things in life, like your daily, weekly,
and routines and monthly plans.
You can keep it anywhere: a notebook, a diary,
what. It even sells a spiral bound folder if
you like to use paper tools. Or you can use a
program like the one made by my company, Mediabee.
It’s a powerful concept that you might find interesting:
I certainly did.
Once you’ve listed all of your routines, be sure to
delegate responsibility. If you end up doing
all by yourself, you’ll always be out of control,
and in time you will discover that it ends up interrupting
the peace and harmony of your whole family. Get ready your
family members to help you with household chores. You can
start small and build up over time.
“Easy to say,” you say. “But I’m going to finish
doing it all. “
Are you okay. It won’t be easy and it is
it’s not going to happen overnight.
To successfully implement your plans, you need
communicate that plan in a way that will
be well received. You don’t want to end up being
annoyingly. There are paper tools, like task charts,
that might help you, but depending on your home,
they may not be effective.
Again, some computer programs can be effective.
because they can help you establish a plan for each
individual well in advance and automatically remember
appropriate family members on a regular basis.
So you can get out of the micromanagement business
(also known as scolding). Reach your family where they are
– via desktop, email or even text message
messages on their cell phones.
Once you have implemented the plan, give it
some time to work. Success won’t come overnight
But you’ll be well on your way Contact me if you
Do you have any questions.
