We’re rolling toward the end of 2023, and guess what’s popping up soon? Yep, those 2024 resolutions and goals! If having better control of your time is on your 2024 goals list, this one’s for you! Time-blocking tips might be the superhero cape you need to make it work. And hey, no need to tap your feet waiting for 2024; let’s dive in today!

But, before we dive into the action, keep this plan where you can’t miss it. As a full-fledged member of the millennial mom squad (rocking 5 kiddos!), trust me, if it’s not on the schedule, it’s a goner. Seriously, time blocking is the secret sauce for most gigs out there (not only in real estate)!

Here’s my breakdown:

• Me-Time 1 (6:00 AM – 7:00 AM): Start the day with your morning routine, whether it’s yoga, meditation, book reading, prayers, or a workout – it’s your time to better start your day.
• Morning Family Fiesta (7:00 AM – 9:00 AM): Sort breakfast, hustle through morning routines like school drive, and soak in some quality family time before work mode kicks in.
• Work Block 1 (9:30 AM – 11:30 AM): All work, all serious! Focus on those top-tier tasks that need your A-game during these peak work hours.
• Chill Time and House Stuff (12:00 PM – 1:00 PM): Break time! Handle home chores, school drive pick up, or grocery shop.
• Family Lunch and Fun (1:30 PM – 3:00 PM): Dive into family fun! Mix up some lunch joy and become the homework superhero for the kids!
• Work Block 2 (3:30 PM – 5:30 PM): Back to the work groove! Knock out those to-dos or team up for some work wizardry.
• Sunset Family Vibes (6:00 PM – 8:00 PM): Transition to full-on family mode! Dinner vibes, family activities. Wind down with the kids’ bedtime ritual, cozy stories, or their favorite pre-sleep hobbies.
• Me-Time 2 (8:30 PM – 9:30 PM): Time for YOU! Unwind, read, or just relax before hitting the sack.

Balancing work and family fun means setting those boundaries and jazzing up those time blocks. Tweak ’em to fit your crew’s rhythm and remember—flexibility is key in this hustle!
