Minimalist Parenting Week One:
6 Time-Management Tricks
March 21, 2013
It's no secret that time takes on a whole new dimension once you're a parent. What was once a 15-minute run to the drug store now takes an hour -- and that's if luck's on your side and and there's no diaper blowout or tantrum (or whatever kind of incident typically throws things off for you these days). Some days it feels like there's just no time left once you've checked all the boxes of daily family life, even if you only managed to check the most basic ones, like making sure everyone is clean (enough) and had some semblance of dinner. When you add a birthday party or a piano lesson or a soccer practice or all of the above to the schedule, the juggling act gets all the more intricate.
That's why we're so excited to announce that Christine Koh and Asha Dornfest, bloggers and authors of the new book Minimalist Parenting, are joining us to lead our second Stress-Less Parenting workshop. They say the key to enjoying family life more is to "step off the modern parenting treadmill." As Asha writes in her first blog post, "You -- and only you -- get to decide what's important to your family. Not the modern culture of 'more' and 'faster.' Not the experts. Not even your mother. You choose what your family considers valuable, enriching and fun."
When it comes to the things that we do need to get done, effective time management is key. So for Week One of this workshop, Christine and Asha offer six tips to help parents stay on track.
