How do busy moms get stuff done? There is NO secret ingredient! It’s called CREATE a “TO DO” LIST! Do you make “to do” lists? If not I would highly recommend it! I never made “to do” lists either until I read the book Eat that Frog by Brian Tracy. That is where I learned about this MAGIC! Yes, it is magic! It is a proven fact that when you write things down you get more done! Does that mean that I get everything done on my “to do” list every day? NO! But it does mean that if I don’t get it done today it goes at the top of tomorrow’s list until that task gets accomplished!
Do you hate it when you are in the middle of something and I am not joking you completely forget what you are doing? YES, it happens! It’s called busy mom syndrome! No actually I think it is because we as mom’s try to do too much all the time and sometimes just need to sit down and decide which task is the most important! Well here you go! Make a “TO DO” list. It may take you an extra 5 minutes per day but those 5 minutes will save you a TON of time in the long run!
I challenge you to buy a $1.00 notebook (or whatever YOU want to spend) and begin every day by creating a “TO DO” list. You can even begin the night before if you prefer. Write down all of the things that YOU need/want to accomplish that day! Then as you complete each task just cross it off your list. This is NO JOKE! You will become so much more organized and feel truly accomplished. By the way who doesn’t love to cross things off a list as DONE! Right?
I have found that creating a “TO DO” list is very handy! Not only can you cross things off your list, you can go back and view how much you have accomplished in any given week. Then when someone asks you what you did you will have PROOF! Now don’t waste another day grab a notebook and create your “TO DO” list!
