In Time to Parent, the bestselling organizational guru takes on the ultimate time-management challenge―parenting, from toddlers to teens―with concrete ways to structure and spend true quality time with your kids.

Would you ever take a job without a job description, let alone one that requires a lifetime contract? Parents do this every day, and yet there is no instruction manual that offers achievable methods for containing and organizing the seemingly endless job of parenting. Finding a healthy balance between raising a human and being a human often feels impossible, but Julie Morgenstern shows you how to harness your own strengths and weaknesses to make the job your own. This revolutionary roadmap includes:

A unique framework with eight quadrants that separates parenting responsibilities into actionable, manageable tasks―for the whole bumpy ride from cradle to college.
Simple strategies to stay truly present and focused, whether you’re playing with your kids, enjoying a meal with your significant other, or getting ahead on that big proposal for work.
Clever tips to make the most of in-between time―Just 5-15 minutes of your undivided attention has a huge impact on kids.
Permission to take personal time without feeling guilty, and the science and case studies that show how important self-care is and how to make time for it.

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

What more common emotion for parents to experience than doubt, says best-selling author Morgenstern (Organizing from the Inside Out). They must balance the impossible: raising humans and being human. Here, the professional organizer and time-management coach offers the book she craved as her children grew up, a guide to organizing the job of parenting that allows moms and dads to spend more time with their kids, partners, friends, and for self-care by carefully prioritizing their limited hours. According to the author, a lack of clarity often leads to time clutter, which hijacks our time, steals our focus, and results in neglect of not only our children but our own needs. A self-assessment section aids readers in zeroing in on strengths and struggles, with Morgenstern emphasizing a growth-and-presence perspective and providing a multitude of time-saving strategies across the age spectrum to combat the need for perfection that too often paralyzes parents. VERDICT Morgenstern's many fans will appreciate the organizational insights she brings to the parenting arena as well as the concrete ideas for finding more time for family and self-care.-Julia M. Reffner, Richmond, VAα(c) Copyright 2011. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.

Review

“You won’t find any corny categorization of time management personality types in her work, no Meyers-Briggs- or 5 Love Languages-type buckets into which people can slot themselves…But there are patterns Ms. Morgenstern has identified that can help people understand and improve the way they approach time management.”―The New York Times

“Morgenstern’s many fans will appreciate the organizational insights she brings to the parenting arena as well as the concrete ideas for finding more time for family and self-care.” ―Library Journal *starred review*

"Julie Morgenstern provides what all parents need: realistic, practical strategies that will help them take better care of their children and―just as important―themselves." ―Lisa Damour, PhD and author of Untangled: Guiding Teenage Girls through the Seven Transitions into Adulthood

"As we all know, parenting is a daunting task, but Morgenstern's bite-size, achievable goals and skill levels are simple to digest. Backed by scientific data and personal experience, the book is full of straightforward advice presented in an intriguing way...A multi-part, common-sense approach to parenting that addresses a wide variety of the issues parents face in their complex lives." ―Kirkus Reviews

“Type-A parents, rejoice! Morgenstern brings her expert organizational and time-management tips and tricks to her first parenting book… This book is for everyone seeking balance while dealing with the reality of raising children of any age." ―Booklist

Excellent book for parents of all ages

I found this book to be very insightful. It helped me organize and prioritize my time, which has been especially challenging during the pandemic.

I read Time to Parent and LOVED it! Bravo!! The entire book is highlighted, booked mark and has underlines all throughout. This is a book you keep on your shelf as a continuous reference throughout the years.

This book served as a great outline for me to immediately implement a few of your strategies. Keeping all the balls in the air in my home is a really demanding endeavor, which leaves very little time to have fun, relax, rest and have downtime. The importance of being present and able to relate to my child are areas that I knew I needed to work on. Julie's parenting time matrix made this instantly feel doable.

Thank you for bringing such awareness to parents in a direct, firm, loving and encouraging way!

Love this book. It's broken down into four very manageable doses for both being an adult in a child's like, and for caring for oneself. The tone is super warm and encouraging, made me feel like I was doing okay and have room to grow in a very positive way. I am not a parent, but this book helped me better relate to nieces, nephew and students, and also helped me understand and process my own upbringing. Highly recommend!!!

I've read so many parenting books but Time to Parent by Julie Morgenstern is the ONLY BOOK that stuck with me (in my head and my heart) as far as navigating this crazy world of parenting. How genius is her idea of giving parenting its job description? With PART and SELF, I can see clearly now where my time is being spent, which areas need improvement and focus. This book is a keeper! Thank you Julie Morgenstern!

Fine but not great, could be useful for newbie

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 29, 2019

I bought this after reading a review that mentioned an exercise where a family evaluates the chores distribution among the family. Guess what? Write each chore on index cards and pass them out to the family members that do them. Visually look to see how to redistribute. On the one hand, a great idea to visualize. On they other hand, there is nothing more than that to help redistribute chores or to figure out how to account for the difference between "making dinner" - a daily 30-60 minute chore and "water plants" a weekly 20 minute chore. I did like her acknowledgement that some people gravitate to some kinds of tasks and that should be taken into account when dividing up chores. The quizzes, for me, were useless. They were not structured to capture the real challenges or strengths. I had high hopes and was disappointed in this book.
