When I got my first baby, everything was turn upside down, I had no time to do anything, all my time was spent in failed trials to calm my baby down, stop him crying and try to figure out what he wanted. Everything was messed up. Laundry stacked over. Dishes were dancing in the sink. Everything was messed. Like a new mom I was frustrated and disappointed. It seemed that I failed in everything. I couldn't take care of my baby neither my home.
To step up again I spent most of my time trying to fix everything, and again it seems that I turned the coin up. I took care about home but most of the time my baby is setting on the bouncer in-front of the TV with nothing to learn and no one to play with. Of-course I was doing the basic duties for him, but I had no time to have fun with him, read for him, or teach him something. I had no time to spend with my husband, no also time to spend for myself !! I was spending all the time fixing the stacks and piles. I spend much effort cleaning a room while laundry was screaming fixing messed crafts while the dishes are in the sink. Again, I failed. I couldn't care of neither home nor my baby .
Luckily I was in a vacation of my job, or I would be in a miserable situation. You can also imagine my social relationships state. I was always missing that I need enough water or to communicate with people. I missed a lot of things.
There was something wrong . I couldn't figure out that it was the balance, I have to balance the scales.
What I want you to do now is to grab a paper and write down EVERY SINGLE THING you want to keep doing it during your day. For example I wanted to keep my social relationship good, so I wanted to be sure to pick one of my friends or relatives name everyday to call or keep in contact. When I did, I rarely miss something of this. Everything is going well.
I know I talked too much but I just needed to tell you how I was without time manager. I made a time manager out of foam board I got from my TV unboxing. I will show you how to do this super inexpensive time manager out of a foam board you may throw it away.
You will need
1 - foam board
2 - fabric
3 - scissor
4 - stapler
5 - pins and nails
6 - transparent contact paper

I cut the fabric to the size of the board I have leaving one or two extra inches in the edges.
Iron it and this is optional, and pin it from the behind of the board using pins and the stapler.
I printed out my calender, everyday duties, to-do list, shopping list, goals and ideas. Then I covered them with the transparent contact paper which is perfect for writing and erasing markers without buying a magnetic white board. If you want these printable please let me know by leaving a comment below.
I needed a container to put markers and sticky notes so I got a cardboard box, covered it with fabrics and attach it to the board back with the nails
Another nails for hanging it on the door
And I had fun.
I hope this was helpful for you. I am waiting for your comments feedback and responses. Your responses will be the talking center next time of-course
