I'll be coming home in November, so my schedule will change. For now, I work full time, help my elderly parents next door, have two kids, husband, house, etc... I prioritize. I do a lot of my blogging at work, to be honest. I also do a lot of my online stuff early in the morning, before I get the kids up. I don't too much at night, as that time is spent with my husband. Once I come home, and the kids are out of after-school care, I'll have to come up with a new schedule.

i really don't have a way that I do it..it just gets done!! We are really busy, but not so busy that we get overwhelmed, cranky and mean. There's always time for play!
And I blog when my children are in the living room with me. And it usually takes me a couple of hours to get a post edited and up on the site!

that's good to know because I think it takes me over an hour to get anything done as well. I think I'm always juggling five things at once

I don't do it all...and I don't worry that it all needs to get done!! =) I let the housework fall to everything else first! I also have let go of scrapbooking and stamping...I have replaced it with exercise and biz, but its ok...I am happier and healthier this way! I refuse to stress about things that aren't important...not good for the heart! =)

You can't do it all but you can certainly multi-task. It helps if you can type fast. lol

yeah, I don't do it all either. I have a stack that keeps piling up, but it's a stack that doesn't really matter and I need to remember that.

I don't...I'm really bad, but I'm taking way too much me time! Oh, well, the laundry isn't going anywhere!

The reason I'm here is to learn how I can do it all from all of you! Whenever I feel I'm doing a lot there is someone who is always doing more, has more kids and more responsibilities so I stop whining about how I can't get everything done. There really aren't enough hours in the day! I don't get to blog as often. Instead, I spend a lot of time on Twitter and now here. But in an effort to get more done I have added a white board to my wall. On any given day I'll have my tasks laid out including "work on blog", "update personal website", "visit forums", etc. All this usually (but if now serves as an example, not always) after I work on client projects. I could blog from my iPhone but for some reason that seems like pushing it a bit :) I have a ton of respect for writers and especially women who blog about all sorts of intelligent and useful topics. My hat's off to you! I'd like to know how YOU do it :)

I don't. I admire women that seem to get a lot done in a short period of time. I've foudn that my biggest obstacle is actually multitasking and after I heard that multitasking is worse than smoking "strong herbs" for the brain then I decided to see if that was my problem. Now I try to do one thing at a time and I find that works the best. Helps me remember things more easily as well.

Before I worked late and on weekend,s now I don't and it works just fine! The world didn't go under :)

I am a master of delegation. I make the husband and the kids do chores so that frees me up to do work and school.

I have to prioritize or my day is a total flop. Clients come first, then networking, then household stuff. Kids are, of course, thrown into the mix whenever because they always need something.

Now that I have 2 older kids, they help with housework more and that really helps. The little one just runs around being cute and keeping me company while I work on the laptop.

When my client load is high, I do nothing but work on their copy writing. Trust me, my house becomes a total disaster! DH hates it when I let it get that bad, but my business pays the bills and that is how I think of it.

I don't get everything done. I do try to keep things in order and divide my time so nothing is totally ignored....nothing worse than a neighbor showing up at the front door when your house looks like a natural disaster hit it. I keep a schedule, lists and delegate a lot the household chores to the children depending on their age.
