Caring for ourselves involves another acronym: SELF - sleep, exercise, love, and fun. Julie gives strategies for thinking about time in each category, and also reminds us that while we’re raising humans, we’re also busy being humans. All parenting tasks, she says, fall into one of four categories: Providing (earning money, physical care taking), Arranging (the scheduling and logistics), Relating (Playing, talking, and otherwise nurturing the relationship), and Teaching (discipline, advising, instructing, and the other things we do to make kids decent people). In this book, Julie takes on the daunting task of generating a job description for parenthood. This week’s episode features Julie’s advice on getting organized, scheduling, and ideas from her new book, Time to Parent. So I was thrilled when she agreed to be a guest on Best of Both Worlds! I’m a long-time fan of Julie Morgenstern’s books on time management and organization.
