Work-at-Home Moms

If only they allowed me a break ... ahaha. I don't dare move!

Schedule breaks at regular times. You'll be less likely to goof off when you should be working. This way it also ensure that you take a break instead of skipping them.

By checking the calendar every night so you can prepare the clothes you or your children need for the next day it will save you time and your sanity so you aren't rushing around in the morning looking for everything.

Change is a constant in life and refusing to accept change can trigger the fear response and this causes stress levels to soar. An important skill in managing stress effectively is being able to deal with change whenever it occurs.

Breaking a sweat is good for your waistline and your work. People have said that their time management skills, mental performance and ability to meet deadlines improved on days when they were physically active....just a thought.

For any busy mom, it is always important in life to have at least one relationship where they can just vent and know that a listening ear and unconditional acceptance will be given. So call a friend and let go of the stress.

Enjoy today everyone, tomorrow is Monday and the start of the work week!

Try getting up a bit earlier than your kids that way you might be able to do a little exercise or have a quiet cup of coffee.

Remember your children need to know that you care, and taking a little time out of even the busiest schedule to sit down, help with homework, listen about their day, or do something you know they like to do, can make a world of difference.

Set a specific time for dinner and stick to it to avoid trying to coordinate everyone's crazy schedules. This may be hard, and won't always work, but if dinner is always at 6 p.m., a lot of the kids and significant others excuses fly out the window making it less stressful on you.
