Work From Home Mom – In the pursuit of our personal plans, we often find ourselves overwhelmed by the sheer magnitude of our goals.

Whether it’s achieving career success, maintaining a healthy work-life balance while working from home, or figuring out how to be happy, it can be bewildering to find out where to start.

How to Use Kaizen to Get What You Want as a Work From Home Mom

So I decided to try Kaizen, the Japanese method of continuous improvement. In this article, I’ll explore how you can use the power of Kaizen to change your working life and get what you want.

By looking into the core principles of Kaizen, I’ll provide practical tips on applying them to your life. From evaluating your daily routines to optimizing your work-from-home setup, you’ll discover how Kaizen’s gentle yet powerful approach can bring you closer to your desired outcome.

The Basics

Kaizen, the Japanese word that means improvement, is a simple way to incorporate more efficiency and management to any project. This is especially valuable if you are starting to work from home and need to establish an efficient work routine.

Kaizen is a word coined from the manufacturing industry. Thanks to automation and larger work forces, small changes to the assembly line resulted in some of the biggest capital gains.

The concept of the kaizen approach has spread to other businesses and solopreneurs around the world.

Those looking to improve themselves, physically or mentally, use kaizen with great results. This does not have to involve microworkouts. Nor does it mean you have to establish new habits, no matter how small or easy to do.

Examine Everything

True kaizen approaches are done by looking at everything you do during a certain period of time. This includes your personal life and your work at home time.

Take your morning routine, for example; as a work from home mom, you might start off by booting up your computer or turning on your phone, then you turn the coffee on, check your emails, visit social media sites, and then you might start your day.

True kaizen says you look at these steps and determine which ones you, as a busy work from home mom, spend the most time doing. Then, work out ways you can do them more efficiently in order to gain more time to get other things done.

Establish A New Sequence

Why not boot the computer, start your coffee, get dressed and then sit down with coffee in hand. This way, you save time having to get up to get your coffee and get ready for the day. Or, switch the order of your morning.

Leave the social media sites for later in the day, freeing up all that time in the morning. Just a few simple changes and you will notice not only how productive you have become, but you will notice you have more hours in the day to pursue your other dreams.

Get What You Want

How does one get what they want in life just by practicing the kaizen approach?

It’s simple: if you apply the kaizen approach to any area of your current life you will find the time and energy to enjoy the pleasures of life.

If it takes you forever to clean up after dinner, maybe invest in a dishwasher and you will have that time for family or other entertainment.

Another way most people can incorporate kaizen into their lives is by combining errands and doing them all on the same day. Or, stopping at the store on the way home from work, rather than going back out after you do get home.

Efficiency in Working From Home

The kaizen approach makes daily life work more efficiently. Suddenly you have extra hours, and extra energy, at the end of the day to go out and enjoy yourself. Life is for living. The kaizen approach gives you more time to enjoy the living.
