I will hold my hands up and admit that my time management has become far more important since I’ve had kids. Stop saying yes to everything: If you hate to disappoint people, this is an important one. Saying yes in the moment to avoid someone being slightly disappointed is much better than letting them down later when they are depending on you because you have taken on more than you can manage. Or it’s much better than saying yes and reluctantly doing something that you don’t have time for. If you put petrol in your car every week, the car would keep going.
