The best way to make sure you say "yes" to the things that really matter is to put them on your schedule. Frequently, working moms spend time doing things for

their businesses, families, and friends than they spend on themselves. You are the boss. Block out time in your schedule for grooming, the gym, personal errands, and even meditation. The key

is to allow time for the unexpected. 

Nothing is engraved in stone. Whether it be in business, responsibility at home, client meetings, hosting family gatherings, or even car pool, honest communication can help you get everything on

the "to-do" list done. If the children have a recital, let your clients know that they can contact you via email or text. If it is your turn to bring the

snacks for soccer practice, trade off with a fellow parent for a day that works better for you. The key is to keep the end goal in sight. Once you know

where you are going, you can always find creative ways to get there.

The funny thing about work is, there is always more work to do. At some point you have to know how to log out of your email, turn off your phone,

and call it a day. Do first things first and last things last. The things that will impact the growth of your business and well-being of your family should always

be at the top of your list. Whatever you don't get to today should go on the top of your list tomorrow. Be clear about what matters most and you will

keep your sanity.
