Help me get a better routine

[Times10]

I’m going back to work full-time after a short break in between roles. However, last time I was working full-time everything else went to pot! The kids missed events at school as I would forget about them, and the house descended into chaos. Weekends were no better, and everything and everyone suffered as I had no patience and everything took its toll. I want this time to be more successful, so please give me any tips you have to manage, house, kids and work. DH is working longer than full-time hours, so there’s only so much he can do during the week.

We have a calendar with everyone’s names across the top. Everything goes on the calendar!!

No great insights from me, but following with interest! Also trying to navigate full time work with family life - recently switched roles to something closer to home / a bit less responsibility to try to make things a bit easier, but still full time.

I’ve also gone for shared calendar, and try to do as much as possible the night before. Not cracked it yet though, still chaos here! Good luck 💐
