Meet Sarah: A Woman Who Wears Many Hats

Sarah is a career woman, entrepreneur, church leader, wife, and mother of two. She’s also building a women’s community to mentor and empower younger ladies.

Her day starts at 5 AM with prayers, preparing breakfast, and getting her kids ready for school. By 8 AM, she’s managing deadlines at work. During lunch breaks, she checks in on her side business, responding to messages and scheduling content.

Evenings are a whirlwind—helping with homework, preparing dinner, catching up with her husband, and squeezing in time for an online leadership course. By 11 PM, she’s exhausted but grateful.

Yet, deep inside, she feels like she’s barely keeping up. She often forgets important tasks, misses appointments, and struggles to be present in each role. She wonders: Can I truly balance it all without burning out?

If you’re like Sarah, you’re not alone. Many women juggle multiple roles and feel like time is never enough. The good news? With the right tools and mindset, you can create a life of purpose, peace, and productivity.

Real Solutions for Time Management

1. Use a Digital Planner: Google Calendar & Notion

Why? Busy women often forget things. Instead of relying on memory, use Google Calendar to schedule everything—work meetings, prayer times, family activities, and personal goals.

✔︎ How to Use It:

• Set reminders for daily priorities.

• Color-code events (work = blue, family = pink, personal = green).

• Use Notion or Trello to organize to-do lists and track progress.

📌 Pro Tip: Sync your calendar with your spouse’s and children’s schedules to avoid conflicts.

2. Prioritize Tasks with the Eisenhower Matrix

"Martha, Martha, you are worried and upset about many things, but few things are needed—or indeed only one." —Luke 10:41-42

Not everything is urgent. Use this matrix to decide what truly matters:

✔︎ How to Apply It:

• Each morning, list your top three priorities.

• Schedule non-urgent but important tasks (like fitness or learning).

• Delegate tasks that don’t require your personal attention.

3. Automate & Delegate to Save Time

"Moses’ father-in-law said, ‘What you are doing is not good… Select capable men and appoint them as officials.’" —Exodus 18:17-21

✔︎ Tools to Help:

• Automate bills & grocery shopping (Use Remita, Chowdeck, or Jumia).

• Delegate house chores (Create a family chore chart).

• Use scheduling apps like Buffer or Planoly for social media.

📌 Pro Tip: You don’t have to do everything! Ask for help and outsource where possible.

4. Use the Pomodoro Technique to Stay Focused

"Let all things be done decently and in order." —1 Corinthians 14:40

When working on a task, use the Pomodoro technique:

• 25 minutes of deep work → 5-minute break

• Repeat 4 times, then take a 30-minute break

✔︎ Best Apps: Forest, Focus Booster, or Pomodone.

📌 Pro Tip: Use this for prayer, studying, or business tasks.

5. Set Weekly Check-Ins for Self-Reflection

"Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom." —Psalm 90:12

Every Sunday evening, spend 30 minutes reviewing your past week:

• What worked?

• What needs adjustment?

• What will I focus on this week?

✔︎ Best Tools: Notion, Reflectly, or a physical journal.

📌 Pro Tip: Involve God in this process—pray for wisdom in planning.
