Tip 1: Plan Out Each Day. Ok, I'm not a type A person, but maybe I'm turning into one...who knows. This tip has really helped reduce my stress. I plan out (for the most part) what all has to happen each day. I work full time, blog, try to get my fitness on, help the kids with homework, get in that quality time and try to get dinner prepared. Clearly during the day doesn't leave much room to get it all done. For me that means using a lunch break to workout and or take a blog pic. Also, getting creative and getting your kiddos to workout with you has helped. They enjoy jumping around...or should I say jumping on me and we all are getting our endorphins in. If you have a tentative schedule for the day, it let's you know that there are more hours in the day then you think and you somehow can get it all done. Keep in mind, we don't watch much tv. Usually we get to watch our show after the kids get bath time or in bed. Again, I don't live by the schedule, but I have it as a guide each day (and it can changes) to make sure the important things get accomplished.
Tip 2: Turn Off Your Phone. Yes, it's as simple as turning off your phone for 30 minutes to get exactly what you need to accomplish without distractions. I have to admit this one is really hard, but really works when you need even just 15 to 30 minutes.
Tip 3: Put the kids clothes out the night before. I actually do this for myself as well. In the mornings I am slow...talk about sloth speed (really....that slow) and this helps me use the extra 10 minutes I might be in zombie mode staring in the closet to reallocate that time to brushing my teeth or getting ready. Trust me, when you have multiple humans and you work at sloth speed in the A.M....it definitely helps shave off a few minutes to get out the door.
