I'm sharing some of the simple tools that have helped me manage my time over my 34 years of being a wife, mother, and homemaker. I continue to tweak them over the years and various seasons of my life.
What I love most about them is that they are all free. You don't need to purchase anything extra to implement these tools into your day. I share items that I've purchased or used but it is not necessary.
We all do things differently, and there is no right or one way to manage our days, but I hope to encourage you and give you some motivation if you're ready to get started or make a change.
I'm just skimming each area, and I'm sharing links below to help you dig a bit deeper if you would like.
