How to be more organised….at life and everything

[Namechange466]

Hi

I’m a working mum (lawyer with busy hours) and mum to a toddler and a lovely husband who equally splits childcare and chores.

Im sure everyone here is the same but I just find my to do list of non-work admin is growing - we are thinking about schools, stuff for a new house, sorting out things for my parents…, booking hotels for weddings, fixing this, fixing that, cleaning something else, watering that plant that looks dead, organising a cleaner for…, pay this bill, buy this present, pay back this friend for dinner last week… it goes on - for everyone i’m sure

I can keep on top of my work lists because it’s easier to separate those tasks out from everything else - and they are generaliy l not as multi faceted as family life to be honest.

Can anyone recommend any tips/apps to help with organising family life and tasks?

I really feel at a bit of a loss writing down all the things i want and need to do in the short term future and the list just keeps growing.

thanks

I use a combination of Flylady which divides up tasks nicely (website is off putting though so just simplify for our lives) and Organised Mum Method.

Maybe try having a few hours each week at a set time doing home admin to get it out of the way in one go? Once you have done a few hours, you might only need one hour per week after that.

Morning and evening routine are the backbone to everything to make sure you have everything you need and basics done.

I could write about this a lot more but will leave it there!! If you would like any more details, please feel free to let me know.
