Great questions. I know it may be a little dated.

Well, in between school drop-offs, snack times, reading and playtime, we do run out of hours in the day!

Here are some of my tips;

  1. Try to do something every day, even if it is only twenty minutes.
  2. In the time you have, make sure you are productive and not scrolling social media.
  3. If you can, you and your partner should come up with a routine where you each get an hour a day to yourself to work on your projects or study.
  4. I prefer waking a little earlier than sleeping later, I am more productive.
  5. Just remember, you are not alone. Doing a small amount each day will become big leaps when you look back!
