For me, I realised the importance of prioritising chores n time management. Prioritising: Certain chores I know must settle by today then I’ll definitely find time to complete them. Chores that directly affect baby is the most important like washing + sterilising of bottles, spending time with her & trimming her nails. All the other chores (like housework) if I’m really tired n need a break, I will then ask myself is it die die must do by today? If no, then I can leave it till tomorrow! You need to survive to see another day to complete them! 😂 Time management: Say for example, laundry will take maybe about 90mins to be done so while waiting I’ll go wash bottles n put them in steriliser and do some simple chores. By the time I’m done with my chores, my laundry will be ready for airing. My 3mo baby usually takes nap of 1-3hrs so I try to use 1/2 naptime to complete my chores. Then I try to take a break n rest! But I can only do this cos my husband is understanding n we both know that
