How to Get Organized as a Working Mom for the New Year
The beginning of a new year is an excellent time to get organized, particularly for working mothers. Here are some starting points:
- Create a list of your top priorities. What are your New Year’s resolutions? What steps must you take to achieve your objectives? Make a list of everything so you can refer to it throughout the year.
2. Make a system that suits you. Find a way to keep track of a schedule that works for you, whether a paper
calendar or a digital one. If you have children, include them in the process, so everyone stays on the same page.
3. Set aside time for planning and preparation. This is essential for staying on top of things. It will make a difference
if you devote even 30 minutes weekly to planning and prepping for the coming week.
4. Be adaptable. Things will come up that you did not plan for throughout the year. Don’t worry; simply roll with the
punches and adjust your strategy.
5. Request assistance. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, seek help from your friends and family that understand the
power of organization and staying on task. We all require assistance from time to time, so don’t be afraid to ask for
it.
Getting organized does not have to be complicated. You can make it a breeze by taking it one step at a time and involving your family in the process. Here’s to a more organized you in the coming year!
