Twenty-Four Hours is Not Enough Time For Work at Home Moms

A lot of people assume working from home is a piece of cake, but that couldn't be further from the truth.  Presently, I am a working at home mom, and I juggle eight web sites, writing articles, two kids, a husband, and a house. All I had are seven days all piled into one.

Work at home mothers do you find that there is not enough time in a day to get all your work done? You are not alone. Many mothers feel like time is just not on their side. I happen to be one of them; I am a work at home mom, and I juggle eight web sites, writing articles, two kids, a husband, and a house. That is about seven days all piled into one. I was pulling my hair out trying to accomplish everything in one day. Then I realized; it's impossible to do all that in one day without some sort of schedule or something. 

So the first step to my busy life was getting organized. That was easier said than done. I needed a schedule, and I needed to stick to that schedule. All work at home mothers should have a schedule, or else they may end up bald headed in a month's time. I realize my schedule will not fit every mother, but it will help you get on the right track and give you an idea of how to start.

6:00 am - I wake up, get dressed, start breakfast, wake the kids up, wake hubby up, feed hubby and kids, get kids dressed, and take them to school. (Them things are done in that order)

8:00 am - I return home from school and start my daily chores, wash the breakfast dishes, wash and dry a load of clothes, vacuum the house, sweep, mop, and put up clothes.

9:00 am - I begin my work on the computer. I check my email and reply to all emails. Then I check my affiliates. After that I check all my forums on my web sites and reply to posts that need my reply.

10:00 am - I post on message boards, advertising my sites and reply to messages on the message boards. After I finish that I post ads on free classified sites.

11:00 am - I write articles. I write as many articles as I can before my time is up on that. I usually try to write at least four articles a day.

12:30 pm - I take a break to eat lunch and relax.

1:00 pm - I check my email and affiliates again. Then I submit my articles.

1:30 pm - I do research for my upcoming articles and search for content to add to my web sites.

2:30 pm - I pick my kids up from school.

3:00 pm - I return home, get the kids a snack, turn tv on for them, and then I add content to my web sites.

4:00 pm - My work on the computer is done for today. I now begin homework with my kids.

5:00 pm - I read with my kids.

5:30 pm - I start cooking supper. This is the time for my kids to go outside and play for an hour until supper is ready.

6:00 pm - Hubby comes home from work. I am still cooking.

6:30 pm - Supper is ready. The kids come in, get a bath, and put there pajamas on.

7:00 pm - We all sit down and eat supper.

7:30 pm - I wash up supper dishes and the kids pack their book sacks. After packing their book sacks they can watch tv until I'm done with the dishes.

8:00 pm - We have an hour of family time, discuss what went on during the day, play games, or something along those lines.

9:00 pm - I get a bath and relax. The kids watch tv until 9:30pm.

9:30 pm - The kids turn the tv off and we tuck them into bed. I then get everyones clothes out for the next day and make sure book sacks are packed. Then I do a quick clean up in the bathroom.

10:00 pm - I read through some of my books to get ideas about articles I want to write the next day.

10:30 pm - Hubby and I spend time together and we are usually asleep by 12:00 am.

It took me a while to get this schedule to work and there are still times when I get off track. Having this schedule has really helped me out. I am now less stressed and feel better emotionally and physically. People assume working from home is a piece of cake, but that couldn't be further from the truth. Work at home mothers have a never ending job. Personally I don't find one thing easy about it, but I do think it has its rewards.
