I run a business in 15 hrs a week, have two little kids, homeschool, and a life I love. These are the sanity saving systems I swear by.
It’s funny that I’m writing this because I used to resist systems. I wasn’t overwhelmed, balls weren’t getting dropped. Creating a system felt like more work than just doing the task. And it is. Once. Then I realized how much freedom and mental bandwidth I’d get back for things I care about more than remembering the grocery list.
We eat dinner every night. But I only think about what’s for dinner 12x per year. Seriously.
I plan a month at a time. Now i basically copy last b October’s plan and adjust for sports nights, date nights, and our current schedule.
I realized I didn’t want to pay someone else to play with my kids so I could do laundry and vacuum. I wanted to play with my kids AND come home to clean dishes and put away laundry.
For the same cost (or less!) than childcare, I get a couple hours of housekeeping help 4-5 days a week. It’s completely changed my life. Now, most of my time is spent doing one of two things: being present with my kids or building my business.
I’m terrible at texting friends back. I forget birthdays. My car floorboards are covered in literal dirt. But I’ve made so much more room for the things I care about with a few simple systems.
All my favorite systems for less mental load and more time for the good stuff. Including my monthly meal planning guide + template!
