Effective Time Management for Parents
Being a parent often feels like there's never enough time, which Seneca would attribute to our tendency to waste it. To optimize the time spent with loved ones, parents can adopt time-saving strategies like delegating grocery shopping through apps or delivery services. These efficient behaviors, referred to as life hacks, aim to reclaim precious moments for meaningful interactions, emphasizing the importance of prioritizing family time over menial tasks.
Prioritizing Quality Time with Children
Parents are urged to analyze their schedules critically to identify areas where time can be saved by completing tasks faster or eliminating them. By implementing such time-saving techniques, individuals can allocate more moments to connect with their children. The ultimate goal of these 'life hacks' is not simply to free up time for other duties but to enable parents to focus on spending quality time with their children, fostering strong family bonds.

It can feel like there is never enough time as a parent. And it’s true, there isn’t…yet part of this is our fault. As Seneca would say, it’s not just that life is short, it's that we waste a lot of it.
As parents we have to look for opportunities to save time…so we can spend more of it with the people we love.
