I’m definitely not a mom, but everyone could use a little organization. Thank you for putting together such an excellent list of ideas and tools. The brain dump is a great idea for anyone in need or organization.
It’s hard to have a positive outlook when everything is spinning so fast, but it’s so important to take a look at all the aspects of life and see where we’re winning. I beat myself up over the things I’ve messed up–but we need to look at the victories–and it’ll help give us the strength to face the hard stuff.

I know that this is an old post. I was just reading through some of your productivity blogs because I felt like I needed help. It was funny reading the mother's request who wrote in because it describes me perfectly. Also a mom of two babies, working from home, attending grad school, and trying to at least have some time to hit the gym or scrapbook every now and then. ALWAYS FEELING BEHIND. This was encouraging, and I wll try to impliment some of these strategies. I especially love the brain dump idea. I feel like my mind is running 90 miles an hour, which is why I'm up right now at 3am playing on the computer. I can't sleep because of how much my mind is racing with things to do. I'm going to go do some braindumping now and hopefully get a peaceful night of sleep. (what's left of the night) Thanks for your great blog! .-= Stacey Blevins´s last blog ..Drifting Away =-.

This is an awesome article. Something that helps me is setting the timer on tasks. It helps me not procrastinate, and forces me to focus, and if I dont get finished, as long as it’s not urgent like paying a bill, I come t back to it again the following week during my allotted time.
Thanks for all the suggestions!
