….just maybe not after 8 years of abuse.

Set up routines..I can’t tell you enough how much I love my routines.

I should say right now, before I really get into this particular mini-rant, that I don’t really have my routines totally memorized, and I even keep those in a list on my phone so that I don’t even have to worry about remembering those if my mind is elsewhere, occupied by other brilliant thoughts that day.I’m able to still get to everything and keep things running smoothly around here no matter what.What routines really do is help you completely own your time.

You know what needs to be done when, where you should be as far as progress on your regular tasks at what point in the day, and what works best to be accomplished during which day part.They also allow you incredible flexibility, because you’re able to move things around in your schedule with confidence if the need ever arises, and you know exactly how long everything will take.

You also become super-efficient from tackling these tasks over and over again, and working them into your daily lists and game-playing in different ways.

Being a master of efficiency at packing school lunches doesn’t sound like a huge accomplishment, unless you’re a mom who has to do it every busy day of your life.Eating in restaurants all the time when we’re on the road with can be exhausting, especially now that we’ve entered into that “dropping everything on the ground from the high chair” phase.
