Time management Tips for part time working housewife

Everyday routine has different demands, expectations, and priorities. All women whether working or housewives have many duties to perform. We, women, manage the home and are responsible for a lot of things concerned with the home.

We, housewives, manage home chores at our convenience. When I used to work full time, I do all the home chores on my own. After I quit my job I was doing my home chores, but I became a little lazy.

I created a daily, manageable routine that you could also do, it will help you to manage your time to become more productive. Being the mother of a toddler also increases responsibilities. When I

didn’t have a baby, I feel like I have many hours in a day. But now I feel a shortage of time in a day. But after following a schedule I am able to manage my time in a productive way.

A woman who works outside earns. In the same way, a housewife who stays at home she is not earning but she is saving the expenses of a maid. But a Freelancer stays at home to do all the activities of a housewife apart from what she earns.

Tips/Points to be considered while drafting your schedule:

Do advance planning for your time whether you are working or a housewife.
Make a time chart in written format
Set priorities for the day (laundry, going to market)
Be Realistic with Your Time (divide the time as per the tasks)
Place time chart approaching areas like in the kitchen (on the fridge), in your bedroom (near your bed), in the drawing room (closer to T.V.)
Don’t overburden yourself
Do the laundry on alternate days(like on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday)
Deep cleaning of a room done twice/thrice a week(On Monday deep clean one room, on Tuesday do another room).
Make a list of groceries at the beginning of the month and maintain stock for the month, so that you need to go out, again and again, to purchase in slots.
Consider time for yourself. eg. yoga, exercise, walking, etc.
