Brilliant moms know the distractions that clutter can cause and know how to keep it to a minimum in their homes. Do they have some clutter? Sure! But they are intentional about getting rid of things when they aren’t used or loved anymore. Now that’s brilliant!

4. Brilliant moms have routines and stick to them.

Brilliant moms run their days with simple routines that set them up for success. They aren’t rigid with their time schedules, but rather have a flow for the day. They know what they need to get done each morning, afternoon, and evening to stay on track towards their goals.

5. Brilliant moms ask for help when they need it.

Brilliant moms know the power of a second (and third and forth!) set of hands. They delegate when necessary and ask for help if needed. They make use of this opportunity to not only ask for help, but also teach their children about the work-money relationship as well!

That’s it! These ideas aren’t brilliant because they are super original or mind-blowing. No, they are brilliant because they have been implemented by moms into their lives and homes consistently over several weeks, months, or years.

Consistency is the key to success my friends. If you keep trying to change things up because you just can’t stick to a system, then you will inevitably fail. Trust me. I know this from experience. However, if you can be consistent with your efforts towards being a better manager of your time, then you will be on your way to a successful and productive day!
