15 Best Planners for Working Moms
Working moms work a lot. According to a Welch's study, when you factor in family duties, working moms virtually never stop. In fact, they work the equivalent of two full-time jobs, clocking in an average of 98 hours per week. That adds up to starting their days at 6:23 a.m. and ending their work days around 8:31 p.m.
So much work at home and in the workplace requires a lot of daily, weekly, monthly and even yearly planning. After all, working moms need to find balance — sometimes that means additionally planning not only their day-to-day responsibilities at work and at home, but also planning and managing their budgets, their family travel plans, their meals for the week ahead (and for their children), their fitness schedules, their self-care rituals and more.
So what's a working mom to do without one of the best planners for working moms?
