Mastering Your Super Busy Schedule

Tips for Time Management 

Balancing work, family, and personal commitments can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re juggling multiple responsibilities. As the owner of Cookies by Double M, a home bakery specializing in cakes, macaroons, and more, I understand the challenges of managing a super busy schedule. This summer, I’ve been chairing as committee to save my child’s preschool, keeping my three kids entertained during the summer holiday, and running my business. Here’s how I’m mastering my schedule and some time management tips to help you find balance, too.

Prioritize Your Tasks

During a busy life, prioritizing tasks is essential. Each morning, I start my day by creating a to-do list and ranking tasks by importance. Saving my child’s preschool is a top priority, so I dedicate specific times to work on committee tasks. Similarly, fulfilling orders for Cookies by Double M and ensuring each treat is baked to perfection is high on my list.

Embrace the Power of Routine

Having a routine makes a chaotic life more manageable. With three children home for the summer, a daily schedule keeps everyone on track. Nights are ideal for focusing on business activities, such as baking and managing orders for Cookies by Double M. Noon are reserved for fun family activities. If you are asking about my evenings, well, that is full with my part-time job.

Delegate and Share Responsibilities

Don’t be afraid to ask for help. Whether it’s delegating tasks at work or sharing responsibilities at home, letting others give a hand can lighten your load.

Make Time for Yourself

Between the hustle and bustle, carving out time for yourself is crucial. Self-care isn’t a luxury; it’s a necessity. Whether it’s reading a book, going for a walk, or enjoying a quiet cup of coffee, these moments help recharge your batteries and improve your overall well-being.

Use Technology to Your Advantage

Technology can be a lifesaver for those with a super busy schedule. Utilize apps and tools to streamline your tasks. Calendar apps help me keep track of important deadlines and appointments, while productivity tools assist with managing work projects more efficiently. For my bakery, customers can easily reach me via email or WhatsApp to place orders and discuss their sweet needs.

Keep Things in Perspective

Lastly, remember that no one is perfect. It’s easy to get overwhelmed by the pressure to do it all, but keeping things in perspective is important. Focus on what you can control and let go of the rest. Celebrate your successes, no matter how small, and don’t be too hard on yourself when things don’t go as planned.

Mastering a super busy schedule isn’t about doing everything; it’s about doing what matters most and finding balance in your life. You can navigate even the most chaotic days with confidence and grace by prioritizing tasks, embracing routines, delegating responsibilities, making time for yourself, and using technology wisely.
