How Do You Get What You Want (when you don't even know what that is)
It used to be so easy. In those BC (before children) days, when you had the luxury of time to do the things that you wanted to do. Now, time is a precious commodity.
A recent study showed that moms who work outside the home end up working an average of 98 hours per week between their career and home responsibilities.
Stay-at-home moms work almost 97 hours per week, according to a Salary.com study.
According to research, this leaves moms with one hour and seven minutes a day to themselves, on average.
That's one hour and seven minutes.
If your day is anything like mine, I bet that this precious personal time is divided into five - maybe 10 - minute increments throughout your very long day - just enough time to scroll through Instagram while finishing your cup of reheated chai tea from this morning.
If you somehow bundle your time so you can spend a chunk of it on doing something special, how do you decide what to do? Experts talk about the importance of building in time for "self-care" but it can be hard to know what feels good anymore or what's worth the investment.
Is it worth spending your precious time on a massage when you'll probably spend the entire time on the table thinking about everything you need to do?
The biggest question is: How do you get what you want when you don't know what you want anymore?
I'm hosting a mini-retreat for moms to help you figure out what you want so you can start building a life you love.
