Planning will help give you the organization you need for tackling the challenges of the day. But I always like to plan at least 15 minutes extra to sit down and drink my coffee before tackling any of those tasks.
Start with general times, like morning, afternoon, evening, then go from there to organize more detailed time, if desired.įor example, I know that the mornings tend to be a bit more hectic with making breakfast, packing lunches, helping my kids get dressed as well as myself before leaving. It helps to clearly see, written down, what needs to be done. For me, making lists eases anxiety and helps me organize my day. Write down everything that normally needs to be done in the day and figure out the best times to do them. This can easily be a part of you and your child’s routine before screen time (to motivate them). Figure out what can be done the night before to help with a smoother morning and what will need to be done the morning of.įor example, things like packing homework, laying out clothes, and having school supplies ready for the next day can be done the night before. Talk to your child about what needs to be planned for them to complete their morning routine on their own, and what you might need to help out with.
