As many of you know, I am a Mom who also works full time outside the home. My busy schedule requires a delicate juggling act of my priorities which can certainly be stressful. But, to me, the rewards greatly outweigh the drawbacks. For this reason, I can definitely relate to Christina Hawthorne (played by Jada Pinkett Smith) in the TNT series, HawthoRNe. A little about the series:
“Juggling both family and career, recently-widowed nursing director and mother of a teenage girl, Christina Hawthorne (Jada Pinkett Smith) struggles to hold the middle ground in a battle between bureaucratic administrators, heartless doctors, and apathetic colleagues who are caught up in a system that’s forgotten whom it’s there to serve.”

do what NEEDS to be done 1st then dig into the wants pile
I raised two young children to adulthood on my own, holding down two jobs for around 8 years and then “resting” with just one job. I can prioritize very well and that is why I always have free time even when I am super busy.
I never saw the show but I manage my priorites by making a daily list of what needs to be done. The most important on top with the least important on the bottom. I end the day when the list is checked off!
Daily Lists
I always like to start with Family First, The Work, Then Friends, Then everything else

I’m juggling three kids, a husband and a house along with being a full time student, so I can relate! I try to make my family my priority and do as much as I can once the kids are in bed. Thanks for the chance to win!

Everyday, I get that thought that I can’t handle it all, but then realize that someone it all gets done…so I can definitely relate!
I don’t do it all but I have a to-do-list that helps keep me sane

Right now I’m in school for my Masters, but my prioritiees are my kids..tehy come first..If I have to stay up late and study that’s fine.
I try to manage it all and since I am the head manager…I also delegate. Having the help of husband, kids, friends is crucial to me. I use them all(nicely) to my advantage. I can relate, thanks.

My husband helps me do it all.

I have the help of a wonderful husband to make sure I “do it all”.
Prioritizing is the only way to function. Realistically NO-One can get it all done!I too was an RN, struggling with job,family,alternate shifts, and never me. Finally my body said too much and literally shut down. Now I look to make the most out of each day without the rush and worry. I still worry and I still write lists but my priority is me, my husband, and our daughter. Nothing else is important!!!
I make a whole lot of lists! It’s the only way to remember everything I need to do.
Lists and organization help me out!
I have never saw this show but I manage my everyday life by writing lists as that way I remember everything that I am suppose to take care of!
