How to make more time....forget the money!

No really, although I am always wanting to make more money (like all of us) what I really notice is in short order for me is TIME! How do we do it! How do we fit a 30 hour day into 24 hours and still get 8 hours sleep (I used to say 9 hours but that is a distant dream now).

Labels and an organizer go a long way. Communication with the team in raising children from parents to care givers to mail man and gardner and plumber. I used to insist on 3 quotes for any work I needed done. Now I'm happy to have time to get one quote. Am I a victim of our societal need to have a career and a family? Likely yes. Are working moms and particularly entrepreneurial moms really able to do it if they don't have family support around?

I'd love to hear some feedback. Already it's 3:40 on Friday afternoon and I still have a few health appointments to set up for Monday and need to pay the bills, and start putting in my resume's for the teaching position I want and I just wonder...what happened to my day?! Ah well, the good news is if I don't get any of those things done and I just get to hang out with the little girl in my life for a few good hours today, I'll feel like a real success.
Thanks for being patient between posts. I'm back. ;)0
