  • EP7: The Art of Scheduling: Tips and Tricks for Busy Caregivers
    Sep 19 2024

    This week on Sandwich Stories we talk about the importance of scheduling and time management for not only our parents, children but ourselves as well. We go over some easy to manage tips like color-coding calendars, setting alarms and working backwards from appointment times to avoid rushing and reduce stress.


    I don't know who needs to hear this but, don't forget to set aside some time for self-care and don't feel guilty about prioritizing personal needs, as this can ultimately make one a better caretaker for others.

    She is you and you are her. One day you wake up and suddenly you look around and realize your life is…complicated. You’re sandwiched between caring for and navigating aging parents…while still trying to raise your young family.
