Routine
Decide your wakeup/sleep times first and stick to them! Sleep is SUPER important for establishing a consistent routine.
Upon waking up, do not check phone/email. Make your own agenda first so that you’re not planning your life around other people’s agendas.

Have time set aside for your small goals that will “push” you toward your big goals and schedule 2-3 per day. This time is considered your most productive/creative time that you’ll have to figure out for yourself. When do you feel the most motivated? Stick with that.

Choose an end time for your work! Pick a time to be done and follow it. Working hours and hours all day isn’t good for your productivity or mental health.
Schedule something you enjoy by the end of the day. This can be your “reward” for finishing your tasks.

Cleanliness of Others. Women tend to carry the “mental load” that men do not carry because their brains are wired differently than ours. Managing the chores and telling them what to do and when can take a toll as well. Make a list for yourself and conveniently leave it on the counter so they’ll see it.

Schedule time for yourself in a space that is for yourself! Be open and let your partner know that you “need quiet” in order to recharge. You’ll come back better than ever!
