Get Organized Stay-At-Home: Mom Planners Suggestions

Get Organized Stay-at-home: Mom Planners Suggestions

Being a stay-at-home mom is not an easy task. Especially when the baby starts crawling and walking and the toddlers are becoming active. You also need a lot of household chores to do – cleaning, cooking, setting the table, washing the dishes, laundering and ironing the clothes and the list go on. Not to mention grocery shopping, doctors’ visits, picking things and all.  Your husband also needs your care and attention before and after work. And we can’t deny it that mothers need extra time for themselves. Just imagining all of these always creates a busy, tiring day for stay-at-home mommies.

That is why mothers need to get organized. One of the best solutions is getting a stay-at-home mom planner.

The advantage of having a planner

Being so busy can make us overlook some things that we need to accomplish. But aside from being reminded of what things need to be done, what are the benefits of having a planner to stay-at-home moms?

Reduces stress 

Being extra busy and forgetting so many things can bring stress to anyone, especially to mothers. And be honest, more cluttered home and a more cluttered schedule equals more and more stress. This means a high level of cortisol is released by the body, which may lead to fatigue, sadness or depression.

An organized schedule means less stress. You don’t need to go running around or going up and down to get into things that need to be done. A tidy home and an iron-out schedule are restful which mean lesser or no stress.

Increases productivity

A scheduled task can help you focus on things in a given time. Through this, mothers can be more efficient and effective. That’s not just good for mothers only but to the kids and her partner also. A monthly calendar or a daily routine or schedule can make easier management thus increasing productivity.

One can stick to goals

One reason that hampers one’s success is not sticking to the goals that are set in the beginning. And the same applies to housewives. It can be a simple task at home like arranging the flower pots or tidying up kids’ drawers and closets. To have it done, it should be planned and stick to that plan. Proper planning creates a lesser mess and lesser stress. And finishing a task gives a sense of accomplishment to mothers, even how big and small they are.

Saves time and money

Careful planning can limit purchases on things that you only need. An unplanned trip to the grocery store without a grocery checklist can make you buy items you don’t need for the meantime or items that are still in stock in your fridge and pantry. You might end up with losing changes left in the purse and realizing you haven’t bought what is really needed.

Scheduled tasks can also save time. If you have a schedule for the doctor, you can do the shopping afterward. Or you can go to the grocery store and drop by the drug store for some needed supplies. It saves you time than going to the grocery and heading home and going out again to the drug store later in the afternoon.

A healthier lifestyle

You can plan your meals ahead, thus you can prepare healthier meals for the family. Unplanned meals mean unavailable stocks thus making you opt for packaged or frozen food and fast food meals. Also, an organized schedule can make you a little time to relax. You can spend time on physical activities and encouraged the kids to the same. You can have more bonding moments with them and with your partner.
