Your Plans can flow along these lines:

1)Have a day planner where you list out all activities you should be engaged in every day.
2)Prioritize your activities and rank according to the level of urgency and importance
3)Set time lines on all activities
4)Some of your daily activities can be done in parallel -By Multitasking.Multitasking simply means combining 2 or more activities together to cut down on time spent doing them one by one.
5)Don't over labor on weekends especially for working moms as this that totally wear you out.Plan for some of your shopping within the week.You can use your lunch hour to quickly purchase stuff that you need.
