Do you ever feel like you are stretching yourself too thin trying to manage your household? Many people do.

Use Your Calendar
Today we're so connected you probably have a calendar on your computer, phone, and even your watch. Gone are the days when there was one paper calendar hanging on the wall and you had to struggle to fit daily details in the tiny boxes. Now everyone can add their own events and everything can be color coordinated so you can easily see who is doing what when. You can even set reminders so that you will be prompted when it's time to go somewhere. Of course, your calendar is only as good as the data that you enter. Encourage everyone in your family to track their events on a shared calendar. This will help you avoid scheduling conflicts and reduce your daily stress.
Divide and Conquer
Resist the urge to do everything yourself. Even if you live alone you can outsource some of your weekly tasks to reduce your load. If running home to let the dog out at lunch is stressing you out look into getting a dog walker to come by once a day. If you feel like a taxi driver because your kids have some many activities in the afternoons reach out to other parents and try to coordinate a carpool so you don't have to drive every time. You can also delegate responsibilities to other family members. Learning to be responsible is a great skill to have.
