Career Juggler to CEO

Not My Circus, Not My Monkeys… OH WAIT!! Yes They Are and Yes It Is! You wake up, hit the floor running, and don't stop until the day is done. Face it, you are the ringleader of your circus and you better be one tough mother! My circus includes an ADHD lion, a new driving clown, and one heck of a trapeze artist! IMoms have to schedule the daily shows, manage the sideshow acts, main events, and keep a strong routines. Ladies, we are professional jugglers and if we show up without our A-Game on, everything comes crashing down. Mom-ing is hard! We have hectic schedules! We have to run carpools, remember snacks for game day, plan meals, find time to love on the hubby, and we still need to make a minute for ourselves too and that's not even the tip of the iceberg. I get it! I'm the mom of a squad! So, how do we climb the mom life ladder from circus juggler-hanging on by the skin of our teeth, to running the show like a CEO? We get our lives straight and get organized! A few years ago, one of my dearest friends gave me a planner for my birthday. GAME CHANGER!! I started by just jotting whatever was coming up down. Dentist appointments, haircuts, bill due dates, fieldtrips, birthdays, meetings at work, etc. So that went pretty good... But with so many acts to keep straight in my circus I decided to start color coding. Dark Blue represents events and meetings at school, Green = kid events, Light Blue = Holidays/In-Service Days; Red = Birthdays/Anniversaries; Purple = my more personal events like workouts and date night with my Love. Then, I started using the daily breakdowns to keep up with meal planning. This helps me create a grocery list every week. It's so simple and it makes sure I never drop a ball. By doing it this way, I have time to check the pantry and fridge at home before I go shopping to make sure I don't purchase something I already have too. Let the process grow in whatever direction it takes you. Just get organized!! When we live like a career juggler it's not a matter of "if" we drop the ball, but rather, "when" we drop the ball. When we start living like a CEO you run the show instead of the other way around. You have time to breathe, find balance, and take that bubble bath! Wanna upgrade? Hit me up and let's get your life straight.
