To echo the other response here, you don't. You can't have it all, all at one time. Outsourcing what you can to the point that it aligns with your finances is the first step. Especially the mindless stuff that doesn't require you to be the one to do it. Laundry, cleaning, etc can be done by anyone, so really try and pull back hours of your life there, if you can. Being ruthless with your time is another way to chip away at "all" you have to do. That means that you can't say yes to everything because one yes is a no to something else, because doing it "all" is impossible. This is a larger step I personally took, but I changed how I work and launched my own consultancy so I didn't have to be online 8=10 hours a day, be in an office, or travel extensively for work. This gave me my life back when I need it most, during these really demanding years for my family. There's a lot of "letting go" of what doesn't matter attached to the idea of 'doing it all,' and I think most moms need to have that convo with themselves on what they value and prioritize semi-often so they stay sane and true to themselves!

My easy peasy go-to meal is made in the crock pot. Place Chicken breasts with half a packet of taco seasoning and half a packet of ranch powder seasoning on top, with chicken broth around the base. Cook on low for 5-7 hours, shred and serve! My kids love eating just the chicken, and after a day or two, if there is still leftover chicken, put the meat inside tortillas and add sauce to make enchiladas! Easy 2-in-1 meal planning with very little effort.

I WFH and I immediately come home after school drop off and work out in my home gym from 7:45-8:30/9 or take a 3 mile walk with my dog and then start working. This is my routine, I rarely deviate. The discipline and routine aspect has helped me immensely. I look so much better, I feel a sense of accomplishment, and that discipline carries over into my workday. I am going to try to start working out before the kids get up (5:30-6:15) and see if I can do it, since I am entering a season where I need more work hours in my day.

I love the SunBum kid's face stick in the yellow packaging.
