The more efficient way to become a more organized mom when it comes to housework is to schedule time for chores and other things that occupy your day to day life.

Most organized moms have organized routines and stick to it no matter what.

The block scheduling system is perfect for this.

These mothers also delicate some routines and important chores to their children, teach them how to be responsible.

A solid routine helps make life easier for mothers and avoid living a disorganized life.

This family routines online course is really helpful to learn how to create and manage daily routines with your family at home.

They Wake Up Before Their Kids

This one doesn’t look that easy if you have that kid who wakes up very early, but waking up before them makes a very big difference in how your day is going to begin.

This doesn’t mean that you should wake up very early but just wake up some minutes before your kids in order to prepare them for the day.

I am not one to put my phone on the other side of the room before bed, so I use an alarm clock like this one, put it across the room this way I have to get up to turn it off. Since I am already up there is no need to climb back into bed now.

Waking up before your kids is also an important way to teach them to be responsible because you’ll be leading by example.

Waking up before your kids is essential, especially for mothers with toddlers as you get yourself organized and ready before having to tend to their every needs. (you know what I mean)

Once the kids wake up, they’ll become too demanding that you won’t have time for yourself.

They Get Things Done Fast

When you become a mother, things just fall into place, and you find yourself doing things faster than before.

Of course, that only applies to organized mothers right?!

(I have been using an hourly planner to combat this and I have to say, it is a life changer! This one is my favorite.)

Mothers have a lot of tasks and chores at hand, even when they have help.

Time goes by so fast, and the only escape is to learn how to do things fast.

If you can make the process of chores and everyday routines easier, it will get done reasonably faster.

Practice.

They Make to Do Lists and Meal Plans

The To-do list is considered to be one of the easiest ways to be more organized as a mom.

A To-do list can be in the form of a notebook or journal.

Every task, chore, responsibility has a clear time frame, and this is noted down somewhere to act as a reminder.

A to-do list also includes time for meals and the kinds of meals to be eaten in the house for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or even midday snacks.

If you don’t get this organized beforehand, you can get stressed, especially when it’s already dinner or lunchtime, and you don’t have enough groceries in the house, or anything to cook super fast.

Save yourself from all of this by planning your meals and other to-do lists for other chores.

They Declutter Often

Clutter really causes stress in the house and can make running other errands around the house an uphill task.

Organized moms have everything around the house organized, and everything is in their rightful places.

When you organize your stuff well, your life is also in order.

Also, decluttering doesn’t only mean having an organized house but an organized brain as well.

Since moms are very busy individuals, sometimes their brains get clogged up with so many things that thinking straight becomes a problem. (Guilty)

Decluttering the brain means taking time to meditate, distress, and look at the brighter side of life.

Procrastination can sometimes lead to heartache.

You cannot postpone keeping your house and life organized.

Organized moms keep their life and home in order most of the time, and this is something they normally learn from their own mothers.

They understand that uncertainties can really drag you down, so they see no need to keep on convincing themselves that they will do it tomorrow or another day.

They always believe that the right time is now, and there is no better chance to do what they have to do sooner than later.

They Have a Family Command Center

Organized moms set up a family command center so that they can have a location for a to-do list, dinner menu for a whole week, and family schedules.

They tailor their command center to the lifestyle of their unique family and activities.

This is a meeting point for the family where everyone can discuss their issues and create some bonds.

If you have a prayerful family, the prayer center in the house can be a good command center.

The essence behind all this is to have a place where family members can communicate.

They Prepare the Night Before

An organized mom has a ready plan of what’s going to happen the next day, ready the night before.

They have no room for surprises.

She spends some minutes each night and sits down to make a list of the things she needs to do the next day.

She does this by checking her calendars, phone, and family schedules.

Everything she does is always on the list.

After accomplishing each item, she crosses them off and moves onto the next.

They Take a Break

Studies suggest that stay at home moms are likely to get depressed and stressed.

This mostly happens for mothers who don’t take time off to heal mentally, emotionally, and physically.

Taking care of the children and the house can be too overwhelming.

When you overwork yourself, you only put your health at risk and stress yourself.

Taking a break for an organized mom can mean a vocation, a day out with a spouse, a party at a friend’s house, and many other fun activities.

You might have a lot to do and things to accomplish, but without breaks, you’ll only be wasting time.

Conclusion

Being a mom is not easy, but you can simplify your work by being organized.

By this, you need to be ready to take care of your children, spouse, the entire house, and your job.

It’s a lot, but if you stick to the habits outlined above, all will be possible.
