[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]We find a way to make it work and still have fairly high profile careers. You chose not to balance the workload of both a career and raising a family so you are not entitled to the same benefits as the rest of who made the choice to work hard at balancing both.
 
DH and I find the time to keep my careers moving, coach 2 different teams each year for my kids, make healthy meals, keep a clean house, go to their school events, read to the youngest each night, help with homework/studying with the other, workout 5 days a week, run triathlons, spend lots of quality time with both kids doing all kinds of activities. It takes a lot of planning and discipline that some moms/parents may not want to do, but it can be done if you really want it.[/quote]

PP, what's your secret?  How do you manage to balance all of this?

Let me rephrase this for you: PP, how much of this do you outsource?[/quote]

I actually don't outsource much at all.  Let's see.......oil changes, dry cleaning and.....30mins - 1hr of after school care.  That's about it.

To answer your original question, it's not a big secret.  I'm an early riser since that's when I'm most productive.  I'm extremely organized (both physically and with routines).  I make plans and I follow through.  If I commit to something I'm all in with no excuses.  Oh, and I prioritize.

That's really it.
