I am a single mom and business owner and online business entrepreneur and I am struggling to manage my time between all of my commitments and finding some time for myself. I have so much on my plate, and mind you I don't have much of a social life.
If I were to have more time for myself I would like to exercise more, and read fiction just to get my mind off of my workload.
What would you like to do mommy, if you had an hour or two to yourself?
My child is not extremely demanding but to be fair on her, I need to give her my time and attention cos every child deserves that from a mom.
So how do you manage time between all of your commitments?

Planning, scheduling your work surely helps. I plan my day accordingly , I plan to do what and when. I was working but left job to take care of my growing kids. i am into online work so that my mind is occupied and earn too. I have set a timetable and very busy and love it that way. I get up early and cook early, and get into the kitchen again only in the evenings. I get a solid 7 hr for my work. I take my kids to the pool everyday, sit with them with their HWs etc....tell a story at bed time (of course my husband also tells and shares house work) ...my day is full and I sleep peacefully at night. Sundays are only for my kids and husband.
