Mom Management, Nov 12 2003
This review is from: Mom Management, Managing Mom Before Everybody Else (Paperback)
Mom Management is a book for moms who have site of their goals and dreams in the day to day rucus of raising a family. Tracy Lyn Moland helps us stop and rediscover ourselves and provides a step by step process to redefine what we want in life.
Comparing Tracy Lyn Moland to Ellen Gallinsky is like comparing a Doctor to a Dentist. Each has an area of expertise that is unique and while they both treat the same population and discuss health, they are not in the same field. Ellen's work with the NAEYC and her work on helping women balance work and family is not even the same genre that Mom Management is in.

Common sense solutions for Moms -- and Mr. Moms!, Dec 9 2003
This review is from: Mom Management, Managing Mom Before Everybody Else (Paperback)
Ok, I'm not a Mom. But I'm married to a Mom, and I've been a stay-at-home Dad for the last two years. With four young children, I'm always amazed to turn around at the end of the day and see what a never-ending, often thankless job a Mom has.
The family room gets cleaned up, but an hour later it looks like a toy store just exploded. There are new piles of laundry to do. There's always one more dirty dish, one more homework assignment to sign, one more sibling fight to referee.
As a result, how many Moms put their own needs on the back burner and deny themselves the personal time they deserve? Tracy Lyn Moland shows you how to claim that time back and, as she puts it, "take care of the Me in Mommeee".
Mom Management is a simple, common sense walk through rediscovering your dreams, taking action, setting goals, balancing multiple priorities, streamlining your schedule, making time for yourself, taking proper care of your physical and spiritual needs, and getting organized. It has an easy to follow workbook format, chock full of powerful, inspirational quotes and helpful thoughts from other moms.
Mom Management will give you all the basic tools you need to be an effective Mom and still have time for yourself. And Dads can read it too!

Wonderful, doable activities, a truly empowering read!!!, Nov 30 2003
This review is from: Mom Management, Managing Mom Before Everybody Else (Paperback)
Mom Management helped me focus in a way that I have never been able to focus before. Tracy Lyn's book is well-written, clear, and chock full of wisdom. It served to encourage me to go for the things that I wanted to get to for a long time. For instance, I finally submitted a short story to a literary magazine that I had wanted to send for some time. Placing that task under her category for "immediate goals," I went for it. It was accepted by the magazine editor within one hour!
Mom Management helps the reader actually recognize and then utilize the tools that she already possesses. It motivates the reader to eliminate wasteful activity, drives home the message of prioritizing and helps the reader, in a non-threatening manner, to work towards her dreams with great love and encouragement. Tracy is so real, so honest, and incredibly open in communicating her commitment to helping others. I highly recommend her book to everyone, mother or not, who is looking to hone their time management skills!
