Many moms spend hours in their cars, ferrying kids to and from school, sports, lessons and more. What can you do with those odd pockets of time? A lot!
If you have ten minutes...
Make a call to schedule an appointment you need to make, like getting a mammogram or dental check-up.
Clean out your glove box. How many napkins do you really need in there anyway?
Check your car’s paperwork to see when your tags and insurance are due.
Look at your vehicle’s maintenance schedule and book necessary appointments. Keeping your car running its best is key to keeping family life on track. Stare at the clouds for a mini relaxation sesh.
If you have 20 minutes...
Round up all the garbage in your car for an instant clean.
Bring a portable craft like knitting or an adult coloring book.
Meditate. Try an app for guidance, if you’re new to it.
Go through a car wash.
Read a book or magazine — like MOM Magazine!
Organize your wallet and purse.
Hit the drive-through anything, like the bank, a favorite coffee hut, prescription pick-up, etc.
If you have 40 minutes...
Finally deliver those bags of charitable items in your trunk to a local donation site.
Food run: get dinner or snacks for those always-hungry kids.
Stop by a self-serve car vacuum and suck out all the crackers from the crevices. Call a friend or loved one for a real chat, instead of texting memes. Clean out your phone’s photos and delete the trash. Same for bulky voice mails and unused apps that bloat your phone.
Visit that cute local food stand you’ve been meaning to see.
