The Right Tool for the Job Technology makes organization easier and more accessible than ever. By using a tool like a shared calendar, you can coordinate the entire family’s schedule so you never miss a beat. And apps like Mealime and MealBoard give you the ability to whip up food that is cost-effective and delicious. Teamwork Makes the Dream Work While you’re busy trying to rally the troops at soccer practice, the scene at home resembles a horror movie. Laundry is piling up, food is spoiling in the fridge, and the dust bunnies around the house now have names. Housecleaning is a part-time job in its own right. The only way to stay on top of duties around the house is to work together. A chore chart with clear responsibilities is a great place to start. Whether you have one child or eight, everyone is capable of pitching in. You can have all the organizational abilities in the world, but the best way to manage life’s madness isn’t by directing day-to-day tasks; it’s by managing stress. Instead of using these tools to control life, look at them as a way to free up time so you can decompress and enjoy the things you love.
Need a Personal Assistant to Manage Your Kids’ Crazy Schedules?
TRY THESE 3 TIPS INSTEAD
Tag Team There’s no reason to try to do everything on your own. The phrase “It takes a village to raise a child” exists because managing the stressors of life requires help. A great place to start is by establishing car pools with a parent group you trust. You can alternate drivers weekly, which provides the opportunity for you to focus your attention on other priorities — or if you’re lucky, have some freedom.
School has started. Youth sports are in full swing. Work is crazy. Food has become more about necessity than enjoyment. All of this can only mean one thing: Fall has begun. The crazy schedules this time of year can make it tough for parents to keep their heads on straight; making it through the insanity sometimes feels more like survival than life. But there are tactics you can employ to turn the tide and find more time for yourself.
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
“It was 20-plus years between dentist visits because my previous experience was so bad. I’m glad to be here now. Dr. Schermer and especially Janae have taken excellent care of me and made me enjoy going to the dentist once again. Thank you!” -Keith P. The entire experience at Dr. Jason’s office is outstanding. From the confirmation call through the checkout/rescheduling process, everyone takes the time to answer any questions you may have and explain anything that requires an explanation. The kindness of every staff member and the excellent dental work they provide are second to none! -James R.
I live in Stow, and when I tell people where my dentist’s office is, they exclaim, “But that’s so far!” I’m forced to reply, “Yeah, but they are the best!” — which is, in my experience, a factual statement. The doctors and hygienists are exceedingly
knowledgeable, highly skilled, and never fail to impress. The equipment is modern and the atmosphere pleasant. I can enthusiastically recommend their practice. -Eric C.
