Staying Organized & Motivated As A Full-Time Working Mom: Voices 44 With Sarah Hart-Unger

    Loved the episode and recommended it to a fellow planner geek. I would love to hear more from others that their lifestyle doesn’t allow planning as easily. I am a SAHM with one in Kindergarten and a 3 year old at home with me. My husbands work is completely on call and he can be gone for a few days at a time. Any other on call working families? Even meal planning is a struggle as I don’t know if my husband will be home to eat or the kids and I stuck with leftover for days.

      Kate, thanks so much for this comment. Agreed that there are seasons of life where planners and planning are so much harder to wrap your head around. I fully admit I did not keep a calendar or planner when I was in your stage of life – it felt like naps and bedtimes provided the main structure to my days. 🙂
