Everyday tasks can be very overwhelming, especially for moms and business owners. However, creating a system in prioritizing and organizing can be a big help to save time and make time for the things that you need to accomplish every day.

In this episode, I interview Heather Greco from Chaos and Cookies. She shares the things you need to do to keep your family and your business in a routine. This episode is full of some great hacks and tips to help you get organized in life, family, and business.

Have a listen.

Key takeaways from this episode:

• Being granular with your time management is a very big deal.
• Be proactive and not reactive.
• Sectioning clothes and the ingredients for meal preparations saves a lot of time.
• Having organization bins all across the house helps kids understand that there's something that needs to be done without you asking.
• Creating systems makes things easy because it's just something you do naturally.
• You can digitize your papers, organize them in albums, and throw them away.
• You do have time; You just have to figure out what you want to make time for.
• Give yourself, each day, three non-negotiable things that you will make time for.
• Writing your accomplishments at the end of each day is great for the brain.
• Don't overwhelm yourself and don't set too many deadlines close together.
• A business is not a delivery service, and you have to put in the work and the time to build it, for it to deliver what you want.

More about Ruth:

Hi, I’m Ruth, a business coach specializing in helping freelancers and business owners adjust their mindset and their marketing so they can get fully booked with clients they LOVE to work with. I’ve helped hundreds of self-employed women achieve the time and money freedom they craved.

I’ve started this podcast because when I first went all in and left the corporate world to be a freelancer, I was grateful for any work that came my way. After over 20 years of freelancing and working for other people, I started to realize I’d created a glass ceiling for myself.

In 2017, I finally started listening to that voice that had been telling me for a long time that I wasn’t doing what I loved and fulfilling my true potential. It took a critical illness to give me that wake-up call. I don’t want the same to happen to you.

You can expect practical advice, inspiring stories, and a lot of aha moments as we uncover and kick to the curb all the obstacles you have been putting in your way.

I’m on a mission to inspire women to start and play bigger in business.
