Being a parent is the hardest job. My advice is: above all, be flexible and do not be hard on yourself. Balancing parenthood and work is difficult, and we must all find our solutions. What matters is the intention and the effort. The rest will work itself out. Let me know if you have any other great ideas!
Fun is an attitude that can very easily get lost in the middle of all the responsibilities. But the more you create those habits and that culture, the more it will be the default mode, and the more it will become a virtuous cycle for everyone. So, keep having fun and enjoy your work. It will make the journey that much better!
You are the sum of your habits – they determine your actions, and your actions give you the results you get, which create the life you are living. Your life right now is the sum of all your past habits because you are where your past actions have put you.
Looking back, you will never regret having invested in yourself today rather than a year or two years from now. The sooner you start, the better because you are your best investment, and use your time and resources.
Try to get 80% of your schedule set and only modify the balance. You can relax knowing that you will have most of what matters to you in order. And then, keep going, be persistent. You will find your new and improved routine!
The only way you will gain the power to do more is to create systems that work with minimal intervention from you – this is applicable for your work, your personal life, and practically everywhere else. If your system doesn’t work, your growth will ultimately have limits.
Your to-do list works for you, not vice versa. This will free your mind of worries and distractions, leaving you present and focused on the day ahead.
The main objective, when creating processes, is to create a framework that is as smooth, elegant, and as automatic as possible. To this end, it may be useful to think of processes as code and yourself as a programmer.
The bull’s progression can also serve as an analogy for designing business organizations and processes. Through continuous redesign, your organization has the potential to progress into a simpler, more streamlined configuration.
As you go through designing your processes, it may seem at first excessively time-consuming to look at everything three times. However, each subsequent revision takes less and less time.
