Creating Systems That Work


Listen Later

Can better systems make running our households easier? There's only so much work a whiteboard can do, but in this episode, Margaret and Amy discuss how they have set up effective systems to manage their kids' lives, their homes, and their work.

Amy and Margaret discuss:

  • Creating a central source of "parenting truth"
  • The importance of touching base regularly with your parenting partner
  • The need for self-compassion and flexibility in managing the demands of motherhood
  • Here are links to some of the resources mentioned in the episode:

    • Marika Lindholm for Harvard Business Review: Creative Strategies from Single Parents on Juggling Work and Family
    • Kate Hayes for Central Mass Mom: How I Stay Organized as a Working Mom
      • Our episode "Solo Parenting Seasons and How to Get Through Them"
