I totally use the "limited time" motto.

Re: Haley's daily check in
It is so amazing how one good habit can bring others on-board, and how one bad habit can do the same!! Good luck finding that keystone habit that helps you find that balance that you crave! it's all about experimentation and being gentle with yourself when something doesn't work for you.

So proud of you for creatively thinking of places you can cut back. Personally, I do not help my kids with schoolwork, which eases my load.
