Get everything out of your head!
If you're trying to work, build a business and run your home well, one of the most important things you can do is stop keeping everything your household needs to know in your head.
I don't think most of us realise just how much we're storing and it can be easy to do! You've built that knowledge slowly over years. You know what everyone eats, what needs replacing, which bills are due, where everything lives and you've basically become a powerhouse at storing and managing information.
The problem is, eventually it can become too much.
I see this a lot with women around my age. We've spent years becoming incredibly capable at managing all of this, but the home has also become incredibly dependent on us. So rather than waiting until you're completely overwhelmed, start getting some of it out of your head now.
Here are three places I'd start.
1. How you decide what everyone eats.
This is a huge one because it never goes away. Document the meals everyone likes, your regular staples, how you plan meals and how the shopping gets done.
2. Bills and household admin.
If you're responsible for paying, filing and organising everything, create a simple system another responsible person could understand and follow if they needed to.
3. How you like things done.
Or what we call your household standards.
Instead of the standard existing only in your head, make it visible.
It means other people know what they're working towards, and you're far less likely to end up redoing everything because it wasn't done “properly”. And yes, you might have to compromise a little on exactly how something gets done.
But imagine being able to sit down and work without half your brain running through what's for dinner. Or going away for a few days and knowing the house can function perfectly well without you. Or someone else noticing something needs doing and actually knowing what to do next without asking you.
That's the goal.
Not just getting more help, creating a home that doesn't need you to hold all the answers.
