IN THE HUSTLE OF DAILY LIFE, ESPECIALLY AS A PARENT MANAGING A HOUSEHOLD, THERE IS A SECRET WEAPON THAT STANDS OUT FOR ITS SIMPLICITY AND EFFECTIVENESS IN ORGANIZING CHAOS:

BATCHING.

I don't know about you, but if I do not have a routine set in place, things will not get done. It’s a simple concept really…but why does it seem impossible to follow through on?

Having ideas and making them is easy, but following through is the hardest part. Schedules and routines are great, but I like to view my day as a rhythm. Like in music, the beat stays steady and notes are flying all along the page, but the rhythm of the piece gives that constant expectation of the next moment. I like to structure my day in this way for a few reasons.

Okay, moms, we all know how hard motherhood alone is—not even mentioning your partner or other household duties. Figuring out what the humans in your house are going to do each day? Ummmm can you smell my overwhelm? Burnout is REAL! I have felt this as a WAHM many times. Mental exhaustion from it all can leave you feeling depleted and emotionally overwhelmed.

We live in a fast-paced world, am I right? Finding ways to maximize productivity and efficiency is crucial, especially for busy mamas juggling multiple responsibilities. One strategy that has gained significant attention in the business world is batching tasks. Batching involves grouping similar tasks together and completing them in one focused session, rather than spreading them out over time. This approach not only saves time but also allows for better concentration and improved workflow.
