Hey, I know there are many super parents on here who manage demanding careers/ big families/ social lives. I’m looking for your tips on how you stay on top of things, little or big things that help your home and family stay relatively calm/ happy/ organised.

I ask because I’m just about finishing mat leave and will be going back to a really demanding job full time job that requires study at doctorate level so it’s like having two or maybe even three jobs at times. I need help. I’m specifically looking for ways to increase the time I will have with family and also ways to be more efficient with work/ study and household tasks.

Getting a tongue and groove board made for the coat hanging area with 16 double hooks on it and a shelf at the top. It was the best way I’ve found for having coats, kit bags, bike helmets, gloves etc actually accessible and sorted with different hooks for each family member.
