ABOUT ME:
Hi! I'm Sarah, mom of 3 daughters and wife to a busy chef! I have been a working mom from the start and have had jobs as an English teacher, nanny, daycare provider in our home, and now I focus solely on helping other busy moms create balance that sticks with my brand Work Life Glue. I am homeschooling and juggling creating a business while being a mom/wife/friend/daughter/sister/etc. It can be a lot, but I'm SO glad this is my life! I love to share how I fit everything in, how I keep our home organized and functioning well for my family, what I do to keep my girls learning and having fun, how I stay on top of all the things that come along with being a mom and homemaking, and so much more! I would love to have you as part of our Gluestick family, so please subscribe!

You inspired me to wake up early as well. I wake up at 5 right now and it's a game changer. I get so much more done and I'm less stressed. I thought maybe my mind was gone from having kids, but found its just because I'm so busy during the day. I would always forget things bc I just don't work well with constantly doing 5 things at the same time (does anyone lol) with a lot of noise or complaining.

Thank you so much for this video!!! I started working in the morning recently & it's so much better than night. I thought I was "broken" because I just absolutely cannot do anything in the evening hours when so many moms tend to work. This is so validating & I just might get up even earlier to get more done :)

Just this week, I recommitted to getting up at 5am so I have time to go for a walk before my family gets up. It's been great! I love how you use some of your morning time to do work before you take care of the kids! Great idea!

That is an amazing reason to start a business! I didn’t ever start on YT to make money and if I had I would’ve given up a long time ago because I still don’t make a lot, but building a bigger business off of it and also just helping others is super Inspiring and motivating to me! You can do it!!!

Here’s the thing - first of all our nights are chaotic. The girls get super emotional/hyper in the evenings. We are all exhausted. By the time we get the kids down, I’m usually pretty worthless. I try to read, shower, and then beyond that I don’t do a whole lot because I’m tired!

I have been getting up at 4:15 a.m. for many years... I don't share that usually because in my experience people look at you like you are crazy. I do not have small children. My daughter is an adult but she is medically disabled so I am her caregiver. I read the Bible every morning and listen to the Bible Recap; then I recap the day before and add anything that happened where it needs to go based on what it pertained too. I am a big color coder and this way things jump out of the page at me. I do not use a "traditional" planner I use a notebook with a weekly plan on google. I then plan my day. I find this gives me "alone/me time" and just starts my day in a good place... I will also do anything that I need to do for me.

The one thing that would make my day better is just, Getting Up!" LOL That is step 1 for me.Seriously, I know that I am way more productive if I get up early and complete devotional time and my workout before the kids get up. I just have not been able to stick with it for a whole week. This video was so motivational and my goal for next week is to get up at 4:45 a.m. and get it done in a quiet space.

@HomeschoolGlue 2 жыл бұрын

I totally get it! Maybe just do 5-15 minutes earlier than you already are to start and just do something you absolutely love to start. Have a special coffee, paint your nails, watch a show, etc. just something to get you out of bed. Then over time you can transition to doing things that you actually want to get done in the morning

How early do you manage to get to bed? Because if it’s any later than 10pm (8:30pm would be better), which to me already seems near impossible because there is always still so much to do in the evening, how are you not chronically sleep-deprived? 😌💛 if you can give any tips on how you manage to go to bed so early, please let us know 🙏💛💛 ps: I am all in podcast is the best, excited to find someone else also listening to it 😀😊

I go to bed at 9, so I get 7 hours of sleep on weeknights. I feel that works for me / I’m not dragging mid-day. But everyone has different needs. My kids are early to bed and early to rise. They are in bed/rooms at 7:30 so I have an hour and a half at night most nights. They don’t always go to sleep then and obviously some nights it’s later, but they are in their rooms having quiet time by then most nights
