I am going back to work on Monday after a 4 year break and I am really excited. It is a full time job in the industry I worked in and at a great small employer. I'm looking forward to the 30min tram commute each way (uninterrupted daytime reading!), meeting people outside of the mummy network and being in city life rather than suburbia.
DS (7) and DD (4) have settled nicely into the new school year and are positive about after school club.
I am conscious however that time with them will be precious and don't want to waste too much of that time on chores etc. We're not a naturally organised bunch, and the last 4 years have been a tumble of happy chaos.
So I'm looking for some top tips from organised mumsnetters on how to avoid the stress of disorder eg. getting out of the house is driving me to gin at 9.05am.
I'd love to hear about routines, habits, chore sharing, tools, discipline/rewards you use to make sure there's enough time for fun and chilling!
