When we say multitasking, it something that we tend to do two or more tasks at the same time. Multitasking is common to women, especially when they hit the motherhood stage. Motherhood is tiring, so many tasks to be done in order to maintain things that have to be maintained. Women are usually advantageous when it comes to this ability compare to men, men usually focus on one task while women can do a lot of things at the same time, maybe not all but mostly I think.
Imagine a woman with a child to take care of while also doing the house chores at the same time, this is common to stay at home mommies. Even those working moms still do multitasking, there is a big difference between a working husband and a working wife. Working husband will have their rest after work while working mom will still do the cooking, cleaning, and do laundry just to cope with the house works if they don't have maids left at home, they still look or take care of the kids if there are any. Some men will also do multitasking but usually, this ability is common to women.
How I managed to be a full-time mom while blogging?
Full-time mom usually doesn't have much free time especially if you have a toddler to attend every now and then because when they take a nap, we have to do some household chores such as cooking, washing laundry, washing dishes, cleaning the house and anything that has to be done. In order to finish my task and have time to write and interact here, I always do multitasking every day.
Feeding my daughter while surfing the site (Active in comments and make an article)
My daughter's eating habits usually take 1-2 hours, she eats too slow and stocking the food to her mouth longer than chewing it. It pissed me off every time I feed her, she eats well but it takes time π. To avoid being annoyed every day, I have to do another task while feeding her. So while feeding, I surf the net then wait until she chews the food.
Feeding her while fixing the bed and cleaning our room
We always woke up 9:30 AM, after getting up I will go directly to the kitchen to look for food. I don't cook in the morning, my mom in law do it. She will cook for our breakfast since they woke up early to open her sari-sari store while father in law goes to work, so the food is ready (We woke up late because my daughter also sleeps late, 11 PM is her low bat time, she's like that since she was little). While feeding her breakfast, I went back to our room to fix the bed and sweep some dust. At the same time, drinking my coffee and eat some bread. I don't eat rice for breakfast (Asian eat rice every meal but I felt like American so I only eat breadππ)
Working out while watching her play
After feeding her breakfast, I will take her to take a bath. After the bath, I will prepare her toys or if she wants to see some videos on her phone, we will go back to our room then I will do my homework out, sometimes she will work out with me, just imitate my steps lol. (But right now, I am not doing work out much. I lack some complete rest so I didn't do work out).
Washing Laundry while letting her play on her inflatable pool
If it is my laundry day, I will let her play in her pool. She likes to play water so much so every time I do laundry she wants to go with me, so I do it while watching her.
Cooking while washing dishes
While waiting for my cooking to be done, I also wash the plates or things I used to prepare the food.
Cleaning while watching her play
I also clean the house, while watching her play. Sometimes I keep shouting because she is so stubborn and wants to help me clean, I keep saying go back and play but she likes to mess up with me ugghhh!
Let her sleep while making an article or staying active on the site/ Afternoon walk with her
During noontime I let her take a nap, when she's asleep I make an article. During bedtime, I am active at reading cash while waiting for her to fall asleep. That's usually the time I can freely access the site without the need to look her out. Sometimes when the weather is good I take her to walk outside while walking I also do some photography for my blogs here. There are times shes running so I have to chase, so I just took some quick snaps photos.
Take a bath with her
Most of the time we take a bath together, to save time. Making myself clean while also taking care of her. The advantage of having a daughter is that you can take a bath with her, you don't have to worry if she saw you naked because you have the same body parts so she won't be confused by her gender π
Feeding her while teaching her how to write, read the alphabet letter, numbers, and distinguished objects and shapes
There are days I let her play, and there are days I teach her. She can now read the alphabet, distinguished objects, and shape. Count number 1-50, right now I am teaching her how to write her name and letters. The progress of teaching her how to write was slow, unlike teaching her how to read. I also don't rush her because she's still young anyway. I might be busy with my blogs or earnings site I also make sure I still have time to teach and nurture her.
Those are my everyday routine because if I don't do multitasking probably I cant finish another task, just merely babysitting. Stay at home moms have to do other stuff not just babysitting all day because it will bore us to death, sometimes it made us paranoid that it feels like we are in prison. It will cause some anxiety because we think we are not being productive at all. It is actually tiring but the fulfillment of being productive is worth it. Some people thoughts that having a toddler we can't have any vacant time, yes we don't have actually but we can always do multitasking.
This is also the reason why I don't have any time frame when to drop my blog because it only depends on my mood and the time available to finish my writings.
"This is why women are being entitled superwoman when they reach motherhood because we can do a lot of things at the same time, multitasking at its finest ". -
