Multitasking is doing two or more tasks at once, it sounds difficult, right? You're right, it's difficult and not healthy based on my experience. I started being a multitasking mom when I gave birth to my first child. Since that was my first experience, it has extra challenges. I always change my daily routine and I always failed to perform the task being done.
How I manage everything: Three children, a wife, modular classes, household chores, and making an extra income
Some people are asking me how I can manage everything, household works, my kids' modular classes, and making extra money. I had no choice, I am now a mother that needs to be a responsible mother and wife. I am now a morning person, everything has changed since I was just a young lady. Today ii will share with you how I do it every day, my negative and positive impacts of being a multitasking mom.
JUST A REMINDER, NO REST DAY FOR ME!
Morning: At 3:30 A.M.
It's not easy to wake up at times like this, at dawn. But, this is the best time for me to get up and start my day with a cup of coffee. While sipping a cup of coffee, this is also my chance to write an article. We all know that writing an article isn't easy so expect that it will not be done until 5:00 A.M. I'm not just waking up early for writing, but for preparing things for kids when they're up from sleep.
Morning: At 5:00 A.M.
At 5:00 A.M., I should stop using my phone and should proceed to the next schedule which is cooking. I Have to cook breakfast before my kids wake up. After cooking, all dishes must be washed while waiting for the kids to wake up. You know it's not easy to manage three children for me, that's why need to prepare.
Morning: At 6:00 A.M.
Kids must eat their breakfast before going outside to greet and meet the sunrise. I always let them out at the house when there is sunrise. While they're playing outside, it's time to water plants and sweep clusters. Bonding outside lasts only for one (1) hour, after that time to clean the kitchen. I need to clean the kitchen first before the kids were taking a bath.
Before 12:00
After cleaning the kitchen kids will take a bath, they are three. So, it might last for 1 hour and 10 minutes for them to finish bathing. Scattered things are endless, that will be fixed every minute. Before noon I should have cooked for lunch so that exactly noon were all eating our lunch.
The kids' modular Classes
Supposedly, the modular classes will always start at 8:00 A.M. but it can't be in my situation. So while cooking for lunch, instead of letting them play I would give them an activity that will make them busy like coloring, sketching, or writing names, letters, and numbers. At 12, we will eat out lunch, at 1:30 P.M. modular classes should start and will end at 4:30 P.M.
Because of lockdown, parents require to be a teacher to their children. I have three children and two of them are students. This is another challenge to both parents and children. My kids are in grade one and kindergarten, which means they have different lessons with each other every day. Aside from that, my youngest son is there to disturb them while studying. You know what, with this situation, at the end of the whole day activities were undone. So, I changed our schedule for the modular class.
Grade 1 Student schedule for the modular class will be every Monday to Thursday. The kindergarten schedule will be every Friday to Sunday. We haven't seen yet the result of this scheduled testing because we will just start on March 22, hoping for the best result. The only problem I had that never resolved ever is my youngest son's thing.
5:00 P.M.
Every day I always choose to cook first when it's time for cooking. It is very important to me to check my children from time to time if they're hungry. I can feel it if there's something wrong with my children so I'll make sure they're always in good condition. While cooking dinner, I make laundry, I use a washing machine so that I can cook at the same time. I have no time for laundry in the morning that's why I make laundry at night.
After dinner, time for the kids' half bathing. Every after eating they brush their teeth. To make my story short, before I continue the remaining house works, kids must be in the bedroom and will wait for them to sleep first. After doing my household chores including the laundry that's the time I will continue my writing article on @Read.Cash.
About Noise.cash, I can visit and post anytime I want, that's the good thing about noise.cash because it is very easy to use. And I always being grateful for having read.cash and noise.cash because I can earn Bitcoin Cash from these two sites and it helps me a lot. Everyone can do that, it always depends on you on how you handle your time wisely. Of course in my case it's difficult but I had no choice as long as I love my work I know I can do it!
What is the effect on me of being a multitasking mom?
Seriously, it affects my health but I'm working on it. I'm still experimenting with my time management. I'm sure it will be okay when the face-to-face classes come back. I often experience sleeplessness and being so tired physically. But you know the feeling of being productive every day, that's what I feel.
So, who can tell that a wife who stays at home is just a wife and a parent? I know someone said that, so watch your words if you're one of them, just a friendly reminder.
Are you a multitasking mom also? What's your experience with it?
I'm no better than you.π Unending ang kalat dito sa bahay kasi 6 sila. Carry ang 5 pero always yung youngest ang may sariling mundo, di maawat sa kakulitan. Disturbo sa modules pero pag free time naman ng mga ate at kuya saka pa lalabas at makikipaglaro. π
