About: active mother, popular blogger, not boring official, motivating lecturer, organizer of holidays.
How the day begins: I am a coffee fan and a nursing mother. Therefore, my day begins with a cup of coffee with a lot of milk. So huge that it seems to me: my coffee has a placebo effect, and I invent cheerfulness for myself.
What’s in your purse: I have a traditional mix in my purse: a mess of documents, cosmetics, diapers and toys of my little daughter, as well as my son’s drawings. Once I came to sign a contract with a customer and, in search of a pen, laid out an alphabet, a minion and a cube with the letter D. From my purse, I answered the customer’s silent question: “D – children, yeah”. And we laughed, and the order was mine!
How do you manage to do everything: the best answer is no way. Because it is impossible to be in time for everything. You can plan your day correctly and keep up with only what is planned. And then there will be no inner anxiety and the feeling that I am not doing anything.

How the day begins: For quite some time I tried to organize the order of the day so that my morning would start with meditation and sports. I do the “Magic Morning” practice, which consists of four components: morning pages, meditation, affirmation, visualization, and the fifth for me is sports. These are the things that set the tone for the day. But since I have a little daughter, she is now less than a year old, I had to adjust my plans a little, I do not always have time to do morning meditation, but I leave these classes for the day, but sport is mandatory, according to the plan, this is a workout for 10-15 minutes. For example, I use such a format as training texts. If, in principle, to say how the day begins, then, of course, it begins with children, with hugs, because I have chosen such a way of life, such a job that allows me to be with them as much as possible.
What’s in your purse: probably these are two things – a bottle of water and a diary. Because it is important for me to synchronize my life, to write down everything I do in order to be in time and not forget about anyone. And in general, my favorite companion is the phone, but not because I am a fan of conversations, but because it gives me the ability to take manual notes. The phone is loaded with various books, podcasts, and I study in it on an educational English-language resource. In general, at any moment I can get my phone and decide my affairs, write down my thoughts, listen, read.
How do you manage to do everything: good question. I remember one very correct phrase: “If you succeed in everything, then everything is small for you.” Therefore, I am guided by it in my life. Of course, I don’t have time for everything, I want much more. If we talk about my key life hacks in this topic, then the first is prioritization: I choose activities with the help of a diary. With the help of big goals, I understand what I will be doing at a particular moment. The second is help or delegation. I have assistants, there are tasks that I outsource. I understand that I am not very competent in them, I do not really like them, and I am not embarrassed that someone else is engaged in them. The third is calmness or awareness: if I transmit something, do not have time or put it in priority, then I take it very calmly and realize why I am doing it.

About: mother of boys and future men.
How the day begins: with the smile of the youngest son. Towards the morning he comes to our bedroom and either calls with him “on business”, or climbs under the wing, and we are still lying around or even sleeping an extra hour. After – breakfast, cartoons hugging his older brother and seeing him off to the garden, and dad to work. Then you can, if you’re lucky, brush your teeth and have breakfast yourself.
What’s in your purse: my men are not clean, so an active day with the three of them is not complete without changing clothes. In addition to diapers for Lyova, we take spare T-shirts for both, and preferably a complete set of clothes. Wet and dry wipes, water, and some snacks on the road.
How do you manage to do everything: I do not have time for anything. But I don’t let myself be driven, I would rather sit in silence and take a breath if I’m tired, or spend extra hours on beauty than on washing and cleaning, because they can be entrusted to specially trained people. A healthy balance between children, family, household chores … and attention only to what is really important to me, and if the refrigerator is empty for dinner, you can always arrange a party and order something! So I do exactly as much as it makes me and my loved ones happy. And the rest is nonsense!

About: psychologist, organizer of trainings on femininity and family relationships.
How the day begins: every morning, immediately after waking up, I give myself an energy massage – I rub the active points on my face and body and only after that I get out of bed. Then I open the window and welcome the new day, smile at nature and any weather, whatever it may be. I enjoy the sun and the rain alike. And I teach this to my son. Then I have a lot of rituals, depending on the day of the week and mood: I write the morning pages, free my head, write plans, affirmations and positive statements. This all helps a lot to tune in to a new day to live it harmoniously and as brightly as possible.
What’s in your purse: a lot of things lie! The permanent ingredients are a cosmetic bag, wallet, diary, discount cards and a small bottle of aromatic oils that I put on my body. Well, and, of course, the phone and charging – where can I do without them, I’m an active user of social networks. There may also be books, sometimes more than one (I carry them with me in the hope that I will start reading them as soon as possible … Although more and more often lately I listen to audiobooks, as I spend a lot of time on the road). And almost always small cars, springs, and sometimes even nails that my son throws into my bag “jump” into my bag, he gives me presents in this way. And sweets are also present: chocolate, nuts, candied fruits. I can say without false modesty that I always have order in my bag.
How do you manage to do everything: in fact, everything is corny and simple. There are no rigid frameworks and serious planning, this disgusts me, I am by nature a very creative and spontaneous person. I initially prioritize correctly. My family comes first: husband and son. They are more important than anything else. If I manage to please them and warm them with my love, then everything else turns out “automatically” – articles are written in traffic jams, at gas stations, during shopping, in a warm bath or at night by the fireplace – wherever inspiration catches up with me, there I create. The most important value for me is the happiness of loved ones! Thanks to them, I am in no hurry and I know that the most important thing in my life I already have.

About: happy mother, wife and hostess. On maternity leave, she took up video blog and opened a personal YouTube channel “Anastasia Flash”.
How the day begins: every day begins with my daughter waking me up with her kisses and hugs. We lie in bed together for another 10 minutes, and then we get up.
What’s in your purse: Depends on the season: in the cold season – wet wipes, gloves, phone, wallet, lip balm, one small toy (the fullness of the bag still depends on the child’s age).
How do you manage to do everything: It is unrealistic to do everything with a small child, but a lot is possible. Here are some tips for getting more done and getting tired less.
1. Organize your day correctly, plan things in writing, make lists.
2. Get rid of the time eaters, go to the Internet (social networks, mail) once a day, set the timer so as not to sit too long.
3. Involve the child in household chores, clean up together, cook, etc.
4. Use modern gadgets and household appliances that simplify and facilitate your homework (save time and effort).
5. Get rid of the trash. If you do not have time to put things in order at home, then there are too many things in your house. Every thing should have its place. Get rid of the things that rob you of joy and order.
6. Don’t be afraid to ask for help. Sometimes, due to pride or stupidity, we are afraid to turn to even the closest people for help. Ask your mom to cook dinner or take your child for a walk.
7. Give up perfectionism. You don’t have to endlessly perfect your work. Allow yourself to be a little imperfect and move on. Life is in motion!
8. Do not forget about yourself, love and indulge yourself. Household chores never end, but strength and beauty fade over time, if you do not take care of yourself.

How the day begins: the day begins at night. While the baby is small, I have a round-the-clock mode turned on. Well, but seriously, my morning habits have not gone anywhere. A glass of water on an empty stomach and a delicious breakfast with your husband are the perfect start to the day!
What’s in your purse: With the birth of my son, I reconsidered my attitude to many things in my purse. A minimum of cosmetics, cards instead of a wallet. The rest is all for the baby.
How do you manage to do everything: only thanks to my son I can do everything! The main thing is to correctly prioritize, keep to-do lists, not to be distracted by the unplanned … But all these common truths are difficult without motivation! But my “magic kick” is my son. I need to adjust to his daily routine and have time to do all the planned things. The son is a priority, and the rest happens by itself. The child gives magical motivation!

About: video blogger, photographer, retoucher and mother of wonderful girls Mira and Zoya.
How the day begins: the morning begins in a fog. The main thing is to get to the kitchen with two children in my arms, make coffee, spread the porridge, feed everyone quickly, send my husband to work, stop screams, determine the activities for the children, and that’s when my day begins. The moment when I can calmly drink my morning coffee and think about what the day will be like. A little calm before the hustle and bustle of the day. The moment when I make sure to put myself in order, shower, styling, makeup, fresh clothes to please myself in reflection. For this is a guarantee of a good mood for me, an example for my daughters and a willingness to be fully armed at any moment. It doesn’t take long with the right skill, but it inspires a productive mindset and I’m ready to move mountains!
What’s in your purse: bank card and napkins. I used to wear pliers, a knife and a screwdriver. And so, if you argue, my bags / backpacks are empty at home, but if I’m going to go somewhere with children, a whole set of tourists is organized in the bag: a battery for a camera, a mini-tripod, a charger, a goupro, a phone and a charger for him, everything for the youngest daughter (diapers, a diaper, napkins, a removable body, a pacifier, a thermos with water and a bottle, a couple of teethers) for the older one – a snack and a favorite toy, and for me also a mirror and lipstick – I like bright lipsticks, but often they you have to control and periodically touch up your makeup).
How do you manage to do everything: I never try to do everything. But I know a little secret: the more things you have to do, the more you do. For a day, I always set myself no more than two mandatory tasks in my plans. Easy to remember, easy to do, and if I can do a little more, I praise myself very much. And also the breaks. Stopping is also important. I don’t want to be in the evening like a driven horse after a race. So breaks for a cup of tea or a couple of pages in an interesting book are both necessary and important. Then you want to live and manage more.
