How to become more organized? How to have time for everything if you care for a little baby? Where to find time for everything besides household chores? Several ideas from a mother of a 1-year-old tot. (Continuation. The beginning is here.)
Feasible Tasks with a Floating Date
The best way for me to secure the accomplishment of some task is to set a deadline. It can be next week or the following weekend, or the two hours when my hubby or mother are ready to spend time with our son.
But if I failed to fulfill what I started doing during that time, I am glad that at least a part of it is done 
(after all, I am an extremely busy mother ). In such a way, an arrival of the baby freed me from the illusion that I should have time to do tons of things and accomplish everything quickly. Now I just enjoy the process not worrying that the process can be dragged out . As a result, I manage to do more!
To do more not getting tired it is also useful:
- to divide large work into many parts;
- to work for 10-20 mins (or until you are tired) at some task and then move to another one;
- to do what your soul desires (a certain part of large work) at each certain moment;
- to try to restrain your perfectionism, i.e. to enjoy any, even the tiniest, results and not to long for reaching an unreachable ideal.
