Priorities




How do you prioritize? I am feeling quite overwhelmed with things that need to be done. For example;

Domestic jobs

  • tidying
  • cooking
  • cleaning
  • laundry
  • gardening
  • sorting
  • food shopping
  • packing lunches/snacks (and tying to be healthy about it )
  2.  Administrative jobs

  • opening the mail! Not to mention completing and returning forms!
  • reading numerous newsletters to stay informed with goings on
  • signing permission slips
  • paying term fees for outer school activities 
  • locking into the diary important dates 
  • then finding someone to look after the kids if it is not a child friendly appointment! 

  3. Family jobs

  • reading and writing with each child
  • kicking the footy or playing trucks or helping write a ballad (with Hero!)
  • Roma's tummy-time
  • Roma's feeding time
  • Finding lost toys (Hero's Leap Pad has been lost for 2 weeks and i still haven't managed to find time to have a good hunt for it!)
  • my exercise time
  • my eating time
  • seeing my husband!
All this is pretty much day-to-day jobs, and of course at the moment life is really busy, so figuring out which is most urgent or important is really hard!

It feels as if any of the above things were left unattended it would have a serious impact. I am really quite unsure how to manage it all.
