Family
Calendar
Danielle, a
sports mom in Minnesota, created a family team on InstaTeam. The
benefit – she scheduled all planned family events for the whole
year on the team calendar. Every there there’s a new event, like a
party invite or a game practice or parents visiting etc., as soon as
the event is scheduled on the calendar, the whole team (family) comes
to know about it through notifications. If the event is overlapping a
already scheduled event, the InstaTeam app instantly shows the
overlapping. Danielle’s team works beautifully with InstaTeam, they
are able to juggle beautifully with no incidences of forgotten
events, missed practices or miscommunication.
Create A Meal
Plan for the Month
When there’s a
lot on your plate and mostly you are running around, the first thing
that is usually compromised id the food. Overwhelmed with work, you
will soon find yourself falling into the fast food rut, which will be
a setback for your and your family’s health. Then follows lowered
immunity, increased risk of infections, sick days, doctors and
medicines, which puts a pause on all your constructive hard work. If
you create a meal plan for the entire month which has details of all
the meals and snacks for each day of the week, and keep food prep in
the freezer for the entire week, your life will be so much easier.
The internet is full of food ideas that can be prepared and stored in
the freezer. Slow cooker casseroles or broths are healthy, warm,
fresh and great for family dinner bonding.
Routine
A routine is
important. Insist on everyone in the family having a routine. For
instance, as soon as kids come back from the school, they must
complete their homework, pack next day’s lunch in advance, and have
their snack. This way you won’t waste time when you are back from
work, you don’t have to worry about all this, you can take kids to
the classes or practice, where-in you can finish off the spill-over
from work while the kids are in the class. Create a routine that
works best for you and your family, insist everyone sticks to it. Any
deviation from the routine, let the family be notified on the
InstaTeam app. This also helps instill discipline in children, which
is one of the most important of life skills.
Prioritize
Not every event
may need to be attended to, you would need to prioritize . You would
also have to learn to say no to things that are not important. Your
priorities will depend on the activity, its importance and relevance
in your lives and future, and finally how emotionally attached you
might be.
