I'm with Allen on this one. If you find yourselves overwhelmed, you should begin to
prioritize. Figure out what's most important. Then what's next important and on and
on until you have run out of tasks.
You also have to accept the fact that you cannot do it all. Make time for the
important things and don't worry about those you can't get to. E.G. It's not
important to have shelves dusted but it is important to check in every book each
day.
When I was a working mother of 3 active girls, I made them my priority in life. I
did my job but had little time for extras (working on committees at school or on a
state level, remaining at school at the end of the day, etc. ) I made sure I was
available in the afternoons to get the girls to and from their activities.
Once they started driving and eventually went off to college, I was able to engage
in all those extra things. It seems to have worked as I have 3 productive, well
adjusted adult daughters.
