But how does she do it “all”?

Do you ever wonder that about anyone? I know I do… and when a friend asked me the other day how I do it “all” with twins and a kindergartner and I replied “my house looks like sh*t and I don’t cook anymore”... I was half joking but the point I was making was that the only way I can do it “all” is by prioritizing. And shifting my priorities... often.

I came across something on IG recently that said “instead of saying you don’t have time, say it isn’t a priority”... I might be paraphrasing a bit but that spoke to me on so many levels. We all have 24 hours in a day... and we use them how we choose. Some days I find myself saying I don’t have time for something knowing damn well I have the time... I just don’t want to do it. I don’t know why reading that IG post seemed like a slap in the face... but all of a sudden I felt like someone was calling me out on my BS. How dare they? Don’t they know my schedule is crazy? I really don’t have time! *the lie detector determined that was a lie*

My twins are turning one in a little over a month and I was so set on making the decor and smash cakes for their photo session - despite the fact it was a perfect storm of work craziness and my oldest starting school...I got it done... but I also had mozzarella sticks for dinner the day I finished. Some people might never do such a thing and that is perfectly fine... but at the end of the day... this is how I get it “all” done. I prioritize what I feel needs to be prioritized... whether it is a true need, or something that brings joy to my family or myself... and everything else gets pushed aside for the time being. There are a million other factors helping me to do what I am able to (amazing partner is one... teleworking is another)... what are some of your tips for getting it “all” done?? Let me know below!
