Time Management for Couples on the Go
from:With so many activities and places to go nowadays, time can just fly out the window in relationships. Especially when children are involved and they need their own transportation needs met plus when both parties are working, stress and tempers can flare. So here are helpful time management tips for couples on the go.
A) Hang up a large calendar for the entire family at home in a central location. Give everyone their own colored marker to use on it. And have each person write in their schedules for the month, noting sports events, concerts, church events, work schedules, etc.
B) Adults need to work together to prioritize travel arrangements. Too much running is not good, so trim activities down to a minimum. It’s better for all family members to be home in the evenings than to be spread out in all directions, stressed out maybe being not ‘watched’ during important events or left behind at night in a dark area because someone couldn’t pick them up on time, etc.
C) For help prioritizing and juggling schedules, check into Franklin Covey products and books, inspired by Benjamin Franklin who always kept a handy written daily journal –type diary organizer with him everywhere he went. The Franklin Covey organization even offers in-person workshops to help people organizer their work and family life in a more productive and meaningful manner. Check with your local librarian to see what resources you have like this, too.
D) Fast food places are on nearly every corner in cities, so take advantage when your budget allows to ease up on your preparation and clean up time. Healthy tacos with lettuce and other good fresh veggies can be found for cheap and make a tasty meal.
E) You don’t have to sit down at for a meal every night at a formal table setting. Plug in a fun family video and eat TV-dinner style enjoying some laughs together. And for once, avoid discussing stressful daily events and relax together. Make this a weekly ritual and take turns choosing the video.
F) Limit electronic phone and gaming times, especially for those not on the Honor Roll. These gadgets are rewards only. Make them act as such.
G) Make rules and stick to them. For example, if someone is late picking someone else up, find out why. If the person at fault was out goofing off with friends or home playing games on the Internet or Xbox, it’s time-out time from these type activities until the person accepts responsibility. Adults, too!
