Schedules help you know when to perform certain compulsory activities such as pay the bills and who to pick up from which class. That way, you avoid unwanted surprises.

Delegate some duties. Most of your day is spent at the workplace as a full-time working mom. Fatigue sets in when you try to accomplish everything at the office and then at home. It is easier to delegate some work such as hiring a cleaning company for weekly general cleaning.

Kids and their chores. Unless they are very young, kids can learn to be tidy. They can pick up their toys, place their school clothes in an organized manner or clean their shoes. Tasks are dependent on their age.
