Good evening
I’m wondering how do you all manage to hold down full time jobs, manage a household, cook from scratch, visit the gym, maintain good relationships/friendships, reply to texts & e-mails and inbetween that find time to swing/have fun?! (And occasional sleep!)
I feel like I need a personal assistant if not a houseboy/maid 
Thank you in advance for all your helpful suggestions   |

It really is hard. I have a full time job, a side-hustle too, as well as a family and a house to look after.
Thankfully, my OH helps as much as he can, we have an equal partnership.
In the last couple of years, I have also invested in a planner called CEO of My Own Life - google it - it give you sections to write down goals / tasks for all aspects of your life. I'm a planner that need a plan to do - so if it doesn't get written down, it doesn't get done.

Set priorities. What is cooking from scratch? And cleaning? I hire someone every few weeks for 2 hours. Gets the basics done.
mails and texts are responded to while I'm at work, patiently waiting for my computer to do in 10 minutes what should only take 2. |

In the 10 hours off between shifts I have 2 school runs, general house stuff (having wild roaming rabbits as pets dont help), uniforms to wash and iron, dinner etc to sort, oh and something called sleep to squeeze in....its not all doom and gloom as every other week I have 5 whole days/night off.....to catch up with everything, everyone and sleep
