Time To Parent: Organizing Your Life To Bring Out the Best in Your Child and You

What more common emotion for parents to experience than doubt, says best-selling author Morgenstern (Organizing from the Inside Out). They must balance the impossible: raising humans and being human. Here, the professional organizer and time-management coach offers the book she craved as her children grew up, a guide to organizing the job of parenting that allows moms and dads to spend more time with their kids, partners, friends, and for self-care by carefully prioritizing their limited hours. According to the author, a lack of clarity often leads to time clutter, which hijacks our time, steals our focus, and results in neglect of not only our children but our own needs. A self-assessment section aids readers in zeroing in on strengths and struggles, with Morgenstern emphasizing a growth-and-presence perspective and providing a multitude of time-saving strategies across the age spectrum to combat the need for perfection that too often paralyzes parents.
