[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your daily activities can be completed by 12 noon everyday. I'm looking at your list and thinking that's not much. They are only 3 people living in the home. 2 adults and 1 infant. It's not much compared to living in a home of 5 or more and still keep everything organized.[/quote]

OP here. I know. I'm new at this and have a lot to learn about organizing my schedule. It shouldn't be hard but some days it is. I'm always interested in hearing how people manage their households.

I only mentioned the SAHM aspect because sometimes people share how they get creative with cleaning and doing chores with a baby in tow all day and making more mess as I go.[/quote]
I'm the pp here is my suggestions. You ultimately have to find a routine that works but first you have to identify what tasks you can combine and what tasks you are spending way toomuch time on than is needed. For one week  write down every activity of your day from the moment you wake up until sleep time. Use a stop watch to keep track of how long you are spending on each activity. After a week review you log of everything and start identify tasks you can group together and eliminate any wasteful time. Also thinking through this stay focused on your goal to be more efficient and reduce time doing toomuch work and spending more time with your child. Something for you to consider that may impact your day, are you an anxious person? can you multitask without being anxious? If this a problem you have to address this first.  I'm not sure if you have work experience but some of the skills at work are transferable to your home. YouTube has great videos on organizing your home. For example if it takes you a long time to prepare meals you can cut down cooking time by making freezer meal bags like these http://newleafwellness.biz/2015/02/17/17-freezer-meal-prep-sessions-that-will-change-your-life/[/quote]
