Learning to be more productive will help you to get the important or necessary things done in the time you have. The goal of being more productive is NOT to cram even more stuff in your life. Being efficient and effective in how you get things done will allow you more time for the important stuff in your life, whether that is kids, spouse, your passion, or yourself.
Let’s talk a little about being effective vs being efficient. There is a difference between the two and the best way to remember it is this sentence:

Lives today are very busy, that is no secret. Parents and families running to and fro, from one activity or task to the next. We get so busy doing that we forget we are human BE-ings.
How can we slow our pace down and begin enjoying our lives and our families?
If you look at some of the activities that many of us like to do, you can see a big contrast between them. Consider:
Racecar vs convertible vs walking
Motorcycle vs bicycle vs running
Speedboats vs sailboats vs kayaking
Speed swimming vs snorkeling vs scuba diving
Each of these [...]
Moms today are always on the go.
We have dozens of things running through our brain, trying to keep up with who needs what and when. And we never seem to have enough time to do it all, whatever “all” is!
How do we slow down and have more time?
Being so busy keeps us from enjoying our lives, enjoying our families, enjoying ourselves. But believe it or not, there may be habits, activities, and thoughts that are keeping you from having enough time.
1. You’re just busy, not productive.
Being busy is seen as badge of honor. Rushing from [...]
Many of us work in an endless stream of tasks, browser tasks, social media, emails, meetings, rushing from one thing to another, never pausing and never ending.
Then the day is over, and we are exhausted, and we often have very little to show for it. And we start the next day, ready for a mindless stream of tasks and distractions.
I am a fan of going against the stream of what most people do, and taking a step back. Is it really worth it? Is this the best way? Are we losing our lives to busy-ness and distraction?
What [...]
Just in case you aren’t stressed out enough, here are 13 ways to make sure you can turn your stress level up to the MAX!
Don’t have any kind of plan for meals or grocery shopping. Figure out what’s for dinner at 7 pm each night. Don’t designate a specific place for your mail and bills. This will ensure that you have piles of papers all around your house, and you will have no idea where your bills are. Let coworkers pile their work on you. Be the go-to person in the office. Say yes to every request made by your church, [...]
By now, everyone is back in school. While many of us are sad, some breathe a deep sigh of relief. Ahhh…
One thing that we ALL dread is that morning rush. The mad frenzy to make sure they have everything they need for the day, and that the kids are fed and dressed. And sending them off on a cheerful note would be nice as well!
A peaceful morning does not just happen by accident. It takes careful preparations and the creation of routines. And it also takes preparing much of what will be needed the night before.

As many of us prepare to return to school, (some earlier than others, our county started 3 weeks ago!) thoughts start turning to the busy school days, the hectic schedules, and all the activities that come along with the school season. As this time comes upon us, I encourage you to look at some ways you may be able to make your life just a little bit easier.
Choosing and Coordinating Activities
Our families are inundated with a multitude of opportunities, especially at the beginning of the school year. Many sports, clubs, dance, and other types of weekly (or more often!) activities usually kick off around the same time.
