WAHM Tip #3: Get Organized

// June 30th, 2010 // Balance, Life in General, Time Management, Work at Home

This has been a big week for Nix9to5, but you wouldn’t know it from the blog.  That’s because I just haven’t had time to keep the site updated.  Between scheduled tutoring shifts, copywriting deadlines, and squeezing in a mini-vacation, I’m behind on just about everything.   I also managed to get a new writing assignment for one client, and I added a new client altogether!  That’s great, because the closer I get to losing my school paycheck, the closer I am to a full-on panic attack that we’ll never be able to afford my being a WAHM.

It’s really too bad that the blog has been neglected, because just this week, I got a TON of new readers from south of the border (that’s Texas, too all of you who don’t live in Oklahoma), and they are probably wondering why they should read a blog that never has anything new to say.

So WAHM Tip #3 is to make sure you get your time organized.   The problem is that I’m not quite sure how to do that.  Readers, how do you manage to get everything (or at least some things) done?  I’d love to hear your tips for time management, whether you are a work at home mom, stay at home mom, or working mom.  Post your comments below or send me a note through the Nix9to5 contact form.  I’ll compile your tips and put them in a post that gives your great ideas for budgeting time.

For now, I have a little Bear pulling on my shirt saying, “Mommy read it,” so I’d better go have a little story time.  Have a great day!

    I must get up before KJ does by at least 30 minutes, or my mood is shot for the day. I need time to do stuff for me…devotional, blogging, etc. When Missy wakes up early, it completely throws me off until nap time, when I then can do it, between loads of laundry. :-)

    My plan was to get up before the Bear, but he’s still getting up at 6:30 most mornings, and I’ve been working too late at night for that. I need to get a better schedule going!
